RETURNING TO THE COLORS

Peter Hoeg

audio file · 11 minutes

In this short meditation, Peter invites us to experience and relive intense sensations of colors – preferably based on childhood memories.
The guide really just consists of this: One by one the colors are mentioned - with suggestions for how we can experience their fullness and depth.

All the great wisdom traditions attach importance to color experiences.
In a way that is difficult to explain, the colors, held in consciousness one color at a time, can be both pure, calm, richly deep and intense.

    Dear Peter
    Thank you❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
    Colors give me so much nourishment,
    They are life itself to me.
    A life without color, I think I would wither.
    Kind regards
    Helle Mee 👋🏼🌈🌳
