I listened to the rainbow/chakra exercise and found that I could imagine what each color could vividly look like and I could easily notice where it was in/on my physical body. I found the exercise to be fine but I cannot say I felt better after having done it.
I became more aware of these aspects during the exercise (assigned to each chakra) such as being grounded, or centered or open but only slightly. I have used a grounding technique when I do my whole body (auric & physical) cleansing of negative emotions and dis-ease, seen and unseen energies that need to be rid of that are found within and without and I find that it keeps me from feeling 'loopy' or 'light headed' after doing some visualizations and so I use it often. What I do is I visualize a large grounding cord from my root chakra to the core of the earth. This root chakra has a 'trash shoot' branch coming from the main grounding cord in a Y type shape and this branch allows for pain, sadness, or any negative thing to be trashed or vacuum sucked down to and sent to the core of the earth for purification (by fire) it is then transformed and rendered harmless and the earth uses it like it uses compost to allow new growth and life to spring from it as it see's fit but I am rid of the 'disease' on every level and I feel totally refreshed and cleansed through and through afterwards. I then cut the cord and let it fall to the earths core for destruction and also if during the visualization If feel the cord needs to be changed I cut it and create a new one to continue my cleansing process. This is the best visualization I have done for eliminating negative emotions clogging my muscles and streaming through my aura and it is done in about 15 minutes most of the time...then I see my aura as sparkling and shinning bright. If you have any visualizations to share I'd love to hear them!
The grounding technique came from the book:
You are Psychic: The art of Clairvoyant reading and healing. by Debra Lynne Katz

Unit 3 entry pt. 1
On a scale of 1-10 I rate my physical well being as an 7 because on a purely anatomical level I have some ailments that have restricted my life such as knee problems & I have had 6 root canals and I wear glasses and have some minor allergies. On the mind body level I have done well but not great in that I have become aware of how my mind & body are inseperable and how my mind-body is actually one unit of being. In this discovery I have learned to eliminate mindless chatter & worry by being very observant of my thought life. Also, I do not in any active and ongoing way harbor negative or destructive thoughts about myself or others. When they do pop in I recognize these destructive buggers and just let them go I never cling to them, mull them over or hold onto them because to me it would be like putting manure in my pockets and walking around all day. Pretty soon the 'disturbing thought/manure" would not only be evident to me by holding onto it in private soon the negativity would be evident to others near me and so why hold onto to such a destructive thing...no good can come of it so why waste my energy and result in others not wanting to be around me anymore so why cling to it and harbor these??? It's just not worth it. But I still can improve and this will probobly be a life long strategy.
On a spiritual level I rate myself an 8 because I have come along way in developing the witnessing mind from 3 years ago. I do not always reside in this place of being but I can go there on a moments notice to witness and observe and see where my mind is at in relation to where I need it to be in that moment. The best side effect of doing this is that I have drastically reduced my reactive responses to others and to my own thoughts so much so that very little rattles me. I have never really been one to assume the worst in another however when they (another person) is being sarcastic or disagreeable or angry I now have come to a place where I do not get sucked in to their drama. I calmly observe and then just think to myself 'they are not very evolved' and I let it go... Because I am no better or worse than they are I just have learned a different way. Now I do experience emotions but I let them move through me and when it's over it's over. I used to rehash the event and think 'if I had only said this or done that' well I've learned the re-run of old buisness seldom is productive so I stopped doing it unless some lesson can be pulled from that mess and used.
My phychological wellbeing I rate a 6 because I am still learning about this aspect and don't really know how to rate myself. However, I still think of the world as a 'me in here and others out there' so the unifying the whole, seeing us as one is something I still am working on and learning about and trying to understand but knowing that we are One down to the core of our "I" ness this is helping me gain a new perspective on this...I have more to learn on how to see us, we, them, me as the same, as one. I think our core "I" is all identical in all of us, but our thoughts and emotions and everything that cuases us to move AWAY from that universal central point of being is what causes us to think of ourselves as unique and seperate...I could be wrong and would love to hear what others think about it...

Journey of relaxation excercise
As I listened to the relaxation exercise I found that the music was very helpful in initiating relaxation in me.
Also, as I directed the blood flow & thought the suggestions I found that the results were nearly immediate and my arms and hands became so heavy and warm I was reminded of heavy wet blankets coming out of the drier that is how heavy my arms/hands got. It was very pleasant and when I was asked to try and lift my hands I found I just didn't have any desire too do it and the deep relaxation in each arm-hand would not move from it's state of 'laziness' it was so nice to feel this relaxed.
When the exercise ended and I was asked to return the blood back to it's original place in my abdomen I could feel the rush and subsequent chill as a result of the departure of blood it was pretty awesome!
The warmth was there still yet it was much cooler than when it was filled with all that warm liquid that it caused me to literally shiver. My arms are still relaxed as I type this out. I found this to be a great relaxation exercise.
I have to add I am no stranger to using visualization in obtaining relaxation and that is most likely why I had such great results. I am the only person I know (of my family & friends) who has used visualization. I have used visualization to 'freeze' my body and when my husband felt my skin he wanted to get me a blanket! lol So I know it works!
Great exercise!

Welcome to my Blog
In this journey of self exploration and understanding I have opened myself up to a new way of understanding myself and others more deeply. This is how Compassion is born.
I have discovered that the mind can be a curse or a blessing it all depends upon how the individual uses it.
I have been determined to discover for myself the way of joy, peace & fullfillment in the midst of life. It's not easy but I have found the statement of a wiseman to be 100% true 100% of the time: "ask and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you..."
