“Breathing in positive light and releasing unwanted feelings is a quick and easy way to turn a stressful situation around in any place at any time.” ~ Dr. Lies van Bekkum
Light Stream Exercise
Concentrate on a disturbing feeling or thought in your body. Does it have a shape, size, and color. Which of your favorite colors might you associate with healing?
Take a moment to focus on your breathing and breathing in this warm healing light coming in through the top of your head. Image breathing out the disturbing feeling or thought with the associated color.
Visualize one color leaving your body with each exhale and the healing light filling your body with each inhale. Allow the light to come in and descend starting at the top of your head slowly down to the rest of your body. All the way to your finger tips and toes.
