I enjoy meditating. I'm not great at it, but I like it a lot. In particular, I like guided meditations.
One problem I have always had, though, is color. I know that I visualize mentally in color, but I have a lot of problems visualizing specific colors when asked to.
For example, "imagine yourself surrounded by yellow light" is really, really hard for me. I can visualize something that I have seen that is yellow, like a lemon, but I can't seem to translate that into 'yellow light'.
Anyone else have an issue like this? What did you do about it? Does it even matter?
The meditation tapes I have now are guided meditations where you basically walk through a rainbow. And for the life of me, I can't see "blue light" and "red light" and purple light... yellow, orange, all the same.
If I were to witness a car accident, I cannot reliably tell you what color the cars were. Today they'll be green, but in a month, red. A week after that might be blue. I'll SEE the car that color. Same make and model. Same everything else, except I really, genuinely cannot keep colors straight or visualize them properly.
Just wondering if I'm alone in this, lol.
