The benefit from an alteration in electromagnetic forces from imbalance to harmony, the technique most effectively employed is to meditate while performing colour breathing. The technique of colour breathing developed by yoga teachers is accomplished by concentrating on the desired colour mentally, using it in your respiration process and meditating.

The best time to practice colour breathing is immediately following or preceding breakfast or dinner (not lunch). Colour breathing should not be practised as the last exercise of the night during the first month of employing the technique, because it is too stimulating to the mind and spirit. The increase of vital force may prevent sleep. Such controlled breathing not only raises the body vibrations but it also unites you subjectively with universal consciousness. You should try to be fully aware during the exercise of the inflow of colour rays revitalising your body and mind systems and replenishing the finer vehicles of personal healing power with cosmic energy.

PROCEDURE FOR COLOUR HEALING
Breathe rhythmically from twelve to eighteen times a minute. You may frame your timings prior to meditation to establish the inhalation-exhalation pattern. As you respirate in this steady rhythm you should visualise the colours of the spectrum. If you are attempting to overcome a certain condition, you should use one particular colour or its nearest equivalent as your healing agent. Here are the step-by-step techniques for correct colour breathing:

First: Imagine yourself engulfed by a white light from the cosmos that enters your body through your head and moves down to your extremities. See it flood your entire being from within and outside. Hold on to this image for atleast two minutes.

Second: Draw from this spectrum of white light—the colour specifically required for the healing process you desire to achieve.

Third: Visualise red, yellow and orange being drawn up from the earth through the soles of your feet to your various organs. This is the force known as Kundalini as explained in our old shastras.
In contrast, visualise blue, violet and indigo as arriving from atmosphere. You will visualise these colours as vertical rays entering your body through the anterior, frontal and penetrating into the various organs. In our shastra the atmospheric force is known as Prana.
Also, visualise green coming into your body through your navel on the horizontal plane.

Fourth: After employing the necessary colour mentally, bathe your body in white light, allowing yourself fully to be engulfed in it. White light begins and ends the self-treatment with colour breathing.
The colour healer is a deep breather who is conscious of the universal life-spirit that is around him. The universal life-spirit lends healing strength. With each deep in breathing, the colour healer draws himself a portion of this power. He does this inhalation while consciously feeling the grandeur of being in harmony with the infinite.
