Practice
Sit or lie down comfortably, if possible with your spine straight. It is very important that your body position is as relaxed as possible so it does not become a discomfort during the meditation practice. Relax your entire body, from your feet to your head; every muscle and every part should be completely relaxed.
It's important to use your breath to deepen concentration, observing each inhalation and exhalation without being distracted by the thoughts that populate your mind. Each thought that arises, let it go with the air leaving your lungs.
Visualize the desired color or colors as explained, setting the intention you need in that moment. End the practice by giving thanks and honoring the LIGHT that resides within you and connects you with all beings. If you wish, you can mentally or verbally say this small prayer: "May all beings be happy, may all beings be joyful, may all beings be at peace."
