Phoenix -- Raleigh, North Carolina Based on a meditation from Laurie Cabot's Crystal Color Countdown meditation from "The Power of the Witch". 1. Center yourself through deep breathing. 2. Begin by picturing a red 7 in your mind. * Really see it, the texture of it, if its shiny, how RED the red is (the deepness/lightness of the color can be an indication of weakness or stress in this area). * As you fix the image repeat the word "power". * When you feel that the energy and color are strong and focused, picture the number dissolving into a beam that enters the lowest chakra and recharges the energy in this area. 3. Repeat this with the following numbers/colors and words: 6 Orange Strength 5 Yellow Joy 4 Green Love 3 Blue Truth 2 Indigo Knowledge 1 Violet Wisdom 4. I then proceed with any meditative activities or energy focusing that I need to. 5. To return to the now, I count up from 1 to 7, without colors (as they have been absorbed by my energy field) and use a clearing phrase such as "I am at peace, alert and clear in my goals and actions"
