I have not yet finished reading the LOO but I thought I would tell a story here about how some of the early sessions have resonated with me.
Some months ago I started doing a little self-healing meditation as part of my bedtime routine. I don't recall just where I read about it but it seemed like a reasonable thing to do, one of those 'what can it hurt?' sort of things.
(this was before I even heard of the LOO)
The drill was:
Relax bit by bit
visualize a a 'golden healing light' around you
do some of those affirmations about how great and healthy you are
Well it didn't seem to do much (not that I was actually needing healing anyway, but I didn't come down with any colds or anything like that either so who knows). But the relax part prior to going to sleep was certainly useful.
Then one night I was conjuring up the golden light and I couldn't ... it turned violet. No matter what, that light was stubbornly violet, and cool instead of warm gold. I know this sounds a bit nuts, I mean its just something you are imagining you see, you should be able to imagine anything ...
Anyway this went on for a week or so then one night no light at all, but physical sensations. I felt like I was lying out in a warm sun, gentle warmth all over, then a bit prickling in various parts.
So thats where I am now. As quickly as I think about starting the 'healing' I get the warmness, sometimes a few prickles and I am almost instantly relaxed and sleep well.
So, whats this got to do with LOO? Well I am struck with what I have read so far about the light ... and the violet ...
Seems I stumbled into something.
Anyway I have other stories of oddness in my life and I plan to keep on reading looking for resonance and connections. And I would love to hear anyones thoughts on my experience with this so far.
