Clouds of Green and Pink Here is a short visualization that will help balance your emotional response to any situation. Sit quietly, close your eyes, and take three deep breaths. As you inhale through your nose, imagine you are inhaling a calm shade of green from a misty, green cloud. Feel this cool green air as it passes through your nostrils and gently moves down into your lungs. Feel your lungs expanding and then hold the breath there for a few seconds. As you exhale through your mouth, imagine the exhalation is pink, as if you are exhaling a warm, pink cloud. After three of these breaths, allow your breathing to return to its normal rhythm and instruct the physical body to relax. In your mind's eye, quickly visit each area of the body. If tension is felt, try to release it. When the body is as relaxed as possible, bring an emotionally-charged situation into your mind. Make a mental note of each emotion created by this situation. Now, push the emotions aside and look at the situation in a clear, unemotional light. When you have seen the situation clearly, make a mental note of what you can do to resolve the situation. When you have done this, once again turn your attention to your physical body. Ask yourself if any stress has appeared or reappeared. If so, once again tell the body to relax. Spend as long as you like evaluating various emotional situations in your life; then take a deep breath and slowly open your eyes. Use this simple exercise as you meet new emotional situations throughout the day.
