Five years ago, I was really working on getting a handle on my anxiety. I learned about meditation which helped me tremendously. Meditation is a wonderful tool to train, focus, and calm your mind.

There are many meditation techniques out there. This morning I would like to share with you one that is very simple to do and has worked very well for me.
I discovered indigo when I began to meditate on the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet….

I always sensed a greater concentration when I focused on indigo. Perhaps it is because blue has always been my favorite color and indigo is a very rich shade of blue. Some say indigo is a very spiritual and powerful color. At the end of this post I will share some links to sites about indigo if you would like to learn more about it.

My meditation technique is this: Letting Go With Indigo

I will close my eyes and simply visualize the inner deep indigo layer of a fire flame. That is it.

If I am taking a bath I will burn a candle and focus on the flame. In our living room we enjoy lighting candles or using our fireplace too.

Even if you are not near an actual burning flame, this technique works very well.

Recently when I had an uncomfortable medical procedure done, I had the nurse hold my hand and I closed my eyes , breathed, and concentrated on the indigo in a candle flame the entire time. I was surprised when my doctor told me it was over. The dreaded procedure went by much quicker and painless than I had imagined.

The power of indigo! Try this meditation when:

1. You are feeling afraid

2. You are feeling anxious

3. Your mind is overly active

4. You feel disconnected

5. You wish to develop your intuition or need an answer to a question

6. Anytime you want to be calm, focused, and in touch with the divine and your own power.

I find you can reap the benefits by doing this for only a minute or two. It is truly amazing.
