One visualizes a state or a condition, intensifies it, and then experiences it. This exercise is called exercise of bhavana (intense willing) in philosophy. By its practice, one can change one's own self as well as the environment, i. e. one can achieve internal as well as external change. For instance, when one practises perception of bright white colour (as that of a fullmoon) on Jyoti Kendra, first he visualizes that white luminescence is spreading all round his body and envelops him, next, he, by auto-suggestion, visualizes that his aura is completely permeated with white radiance; after that he intensely wills, "My anger is subsiding, my agitation and excitation are being pacified, my urges and impulses are abating, and finally experiences growing peace and tranquility.
Technique of Meditation
Premeditation Exercise No-1: Relaxation (Kayotsarga)-This is an essential precondition of meditational practice, resulting in steadiness of the body. The whole body is mentally divided into several convenient parts and full attention is concentrated on each part, By the process of auto-suggestion, each part is relaxed and the relaxation experienced. The relaxed and motionless state of the body is maintained throughout the meditation session. Simultaneously. there should be a keen awareness of the spiritual self. This exercise will take 7 to 10 minutes.
Premeditation Exercise No-2: Internal Trip (Antaryatra)-Full attention is to be concentrated on the bottom of the spine called sakti Kendra. It is then directed to travel upwards along the spinal cord to the top of the head jnana kendra. When the top is reached, direct the attention to move downwards taking the same path until it reaches Sakti Kendra again. Repeat the exercise for about 5 to 7 minutes. All the time, the consciousness is confined in the path of the trip (i.e, the spinal cord), and the sensations therein, caused by the subtle vibrations of the flow of the vital energy, are carefully perceived.

Meditation Perception of Psychic Colours (Lesya Dhyana)
The first step is to visualize that everything around, including the air itself, is coloured bright green as if reflected by an emerald. The respiration is to be slowed down and with every inhalation green air is breathed in. This is to be continued for 2 to 3 minutes. Full attention is to be focussed on Ananda Kendra (psychic centre of bliss, located near the heart), and by sustained and intensified visualization, bright green colour is to be perceived. After 2 or 3 minutes, visualize that this colour is radiating from the centre and spreads all around the body permeating the entire aura, which becomes bright green. Finally by intense willing, FREEDOM FROM PSYCHOLOGICAL FAULTS AND NEGATIVE ATTITUDES is to be experienced, (for 2 to 3 minutes). Adopting the same technique, perceive bright blue colour (as of the neck of a peacock) on visuddhi Kendra; bright red colour (as of the rising sun) on darshana Kendra; bright yellow colour (as of polished gold) on jnana Kendra or chaksus Kendra; and bright white colour (as of full moon) on jyoti kendra.
