The Prism

Illusion Visualization

White light is only every colour agreeing at once.

A short, bright working for a dull afternoon. You let each colour of the rainbow fill your whole awareness, one after another, and then let them run together.

The working

  1. Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
  2. Picture red, not a red object, just red, filling everything you can see. Stay with it for a few breaths.
  3. Let it turn to orange, then yellow, then green, blue, indigo and violet, a few breaths each.
  4. Go around again, a little faster, giving each colour one breath.
  5. Let the colours begin to blend as they pass, until they run together into a soft, even white light.
  6. Rest in the white for as long as it lasts.

Closing

Let the light dim slowly to dark before you open your eyes, so the room doesn’t come as a shock.
