following five bright colours are visualised :
1. Green colour as of emerald. 2. Blus colour as of peacok's neck.
Red colour as of rising sun. 4. Yellow colour as of sun-flower or gold. 5. White colour as of full moon or snow.
To bring about the actual appearance of desired colour, it is essential to concentrate and actually see the colour mentally. Visualization is the key to this technique. Once it is sustained and intensified, the mind will project the colour and there would be actual appearance. Visual aids in the form of coloured bulbs or coloured cellophene paper wrapped on the lighted bulbs are useful. When one looks at a source of coloured light with open and unwinking eyes for a few moments, he will visualize it with closed eyes.
For actual appearance of colour, steadiness and conncentration of mind is essential. Concentration here means intensified and sustained visualization of a single colour. As mental steadiness increases and visulization is intensified, the desired colour is produced by the subtle taijasa body and the mental picture actually projects itself. At this stage the experience is real and not imaginary.
As already stated at the outset, practice of lesya dhyana is comparable to reaching the peak of a mountain. Success is likely to vary widely from person to person. Some may achieve a significant success in very short time, while another may take a long time and will have to practise it patiently for deriving measurable benefits. No one need, however, be disappointed, because with presistent efforts everybody will ultimately be adequately benefitted. Every practitioner is endowed with infinite potential capability, but he is not aware of this. What is needed is self-reliance and patient development of the potential capability into active competence.
Frequently, instead of the desired colour, some other colour appears. This should not discourage the practitioner. In fact, appearance of any colour is a proof that the teachnique is well in hand, and is, therefore, a good sign. Appearance of a colour is the result of the steadiness of mind and concentration. Though this cannot be considered as a remarkable achievement, yet it has its own importance, because it strengthens reverence and belief of the practitioner. In the absence of any experience it looks as if the meditational practice is not proving fruitful. Experience-small or big serves a lot of purpose.
Auto-suggestion and Intense Willing
One of the important points in the technique of lesya dhyana is the actual experience of various results and changes accruing from the effect of perceiving different colours. To strengthen the result of meditational practice, an important exercise is auto-suggestion. A new therapy called 'autogenic therapy is being developed in the western countries recently. The basic principle of this therapy is self-hypnosis or auto-suggestion.
