Hi,
My name is Murray,
And I'm excited to be here with you for our mind travel coloring experience.
I have created this experience just for you,
With my scientist friend from Columbia University.
I'm a pianist and the creator of mind travel,
And I play my music for people all over the world.
Today we are going on a coloring journey to explore all the colors of the rainbow.
After all,
Color is all around us.
The sky above is blue,
Sometimes gray,
Pink,
Or purple.
The grass is green,
Sometimes brown,
Or even yellow.
Color is a big part of our lives,
And the way it makes us feel can change all the time.
Color fills our lives with wonder and fuels our imaginations.
Alright,
Let's try to see colors in a new way.
For this experience,
We will both be artists and explore the amazing world where color and music meet.
Your instrument will be your crayons,
And mine will be my piano.
I'll be playing my music as you color to inspire you along the way.
We will be using each color of the rainbow,
One crayon at a time.
We will move together,
But don't worry,
If you want more time with any color,
You'll be able to come back to it at the end.
Before an artist can begin,
It's important to feel calm and focused.
One possible way to do this is by focusing on your breathing.
Let's all take a second to remember how good it feels to just breathe.
It's like a nice drink of cold lemonade on a hot day.
Begin to pay attention to your breath.
Notice sipping the breath in as you inhale,
And then notice how you empty from your belly as you exhale.
Slowly breathe in and breathe out.
Let's do this three times together.
Breathing in and slowly breathing out.
Slowly breathing in and a slow breath out.
A slow breath in and a slow breath out.
Guess what?
You just meditated.
It's that simple.
Both you and I will be creating based on what we're feeling here and now.
On a screen in front of you,
You will see moving colors and images.
Feel free to take a look at the screen if you feel stuck and want some extra inspiration.
We'll begin with red.
Pick up your red crayon or whatever art supplies you are using.
This will be the first instrument of your coloring journey.
Imagine the color red filling your heart.
Okay,
Great.
Now begin filling the shapes on your page with red.
No need to think too much about it.
Wherever you begin is wonderful.
There is no right or wrong way to color,
By the way.
Just listen to the music and go with the flow.
As you color,
Imagine different shades of red.
Strawberry red,
Grapefruit,
Red roses,
Or even the beauty of a red sunset.
Listen to the music and keep coloring.
Now let's take a deep breath together.
Let's breathe in and let the color red fill us up.
Now breathe out.
How does the color red feel?
You know,
Colors are magical.
They help us connect with our feelings.
Allow yourself to feel however you do in this moment.
Red gives you energy.
Let it inspire you as we continue on our journey.
Okay,
Great.
It's time for a new color.
Pick up your orange crayon.
As you begin coloring,
Imagine the color orange filling your heart.
What does orange feel like to you?
Are there any orange flowers you can think of?
How about orange fruits or vegetables?
Anything else come to mind?
Tune into the music and keep coloring.
Breathe in the color orange and let it fill you up with creativity.
Great,
Good job.
Next,
Pick up your yellow crayon.
Start to fill your page with yellow and let your imagination guide you.
Imagine the color yellow filling your heart.
Where on your design are you coloring?
Maybe you'd like to change direction and color somewhere new.
Or maybe you'd like to stay where you are.
It's your choice.
You are the artist.
What does yellow feel like to you?
Maybe yellow feels like rays of sunshine on a warm summer day.
Or a fresh picked lemon straight from the tree.
Breathe in the color yellow and let it fill you up with joy.
As you continue to create,
Tune into the sound of the piano.
Do you hear that?
The sound of each and every note?
Listen very closely to the music.
Understanding is trusting.
Amped,
Are you ready for a green crayon?
Me too.
Let's pick it up and color away.
As you color,
Imagine the color green filling your heart.
What does green feel like to you?
What do you see?
Maybe lively green trees on a breezy spring day.
Maybe green feels like walking barefoot on freshly cut grass.
Keep exploring green,
All shades,
Tones,
And tints.
Let green refresh you.
Breathe it in and let it fill you with life.
Now it is time for blue.
Pick up your blue crayon and start filling the page with blue,
However you like.
Imagine the color blue filling your heart.
Or the sea of blue,
All its tones,
Shades,
And tints.
What do you see?
How about cool blue water?
Or calm blue skies?
Maybe blueberries or butterflies?
Breathe in blue and let it carry you away,
Free as a bird in the wide open sky.
Let blue fill your heart with peace.
Are you ready for the final color of our rainbow?
Okay,
Pick up your purple crayons and continue coloring your masterpiece.
Imagine purple filling your heart.
What do you see when you think of purple?
Perhaps lavender fields come to mind?
Sweet violets or juicy purple grapes?
Whatever you think of is wonderful.
Let purple fill your heart with generosity.
Breathe in purple and let it fill you with its magic.
Okay,
Breathe in the energy of all these beautiful colors.
Let the rainbow fill you up with energy,
Creativity,
Joy,
Life,
Peace,
And generosity.
Now choose any colors you would like.
Continue to color with complete freedom.
You are the artist.
Keep coloring.
Let the rainbow fill your heart with energy,
Creativity,
Joy,
Life,
Peace,
And generosity.
<|ru|><|translate|> Keep coloring.
Keep coloring.
Keep coloring.
Keep coloring.
Keep coloring.
Let's start to finish up.
Now,
Take a look at your creation.
So many colors dancing together on the page.
You began with simple lines and empty space.
And now,
Look!
You've created something beautiful.
Notice all the details.
All the colors.
The shapes.
The textures and the tones.
Whatever you've created is exactly what it should be.
When you feel ready,
Start to gently notice your breath again.
Stay seated for a few more moments.
Notice how your body feels.
Maybe wiggle your fingers and toes.
What word would you use to describe your coloring journey?
Write it down.
Congratulations!
You've just practiced being mindful.
Mindfulness means paying attention on purpose in the present moment and without judgment.
Any time you feel like you need a break,
You can come back to this practice.
Pick up some paper and a crayon.
Find a nice place to sit.
Play some music and color whatever you like.
If anything stressful comes up in your life,
Remember our breathing exercises.
Just take a deep breath in and breathe out.
And repeat it three times.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me today.
I've loved sharing my music and this moment with you.
It has been very special.
Remember,
This practice is always here for you,
Whenever you need it.
It is our gift to you.
Be creative.
Be curious.
Be kind.
See you next time!
