Hi Lilith, it is not uncommon in any visualisation exercise at the beginning to have concentration problems. Here are some basic tips:-

Try to just sit in any comfortable position for a max of 5 minutes with your eyes closed. It is best to chose the same time each day and best when you are not feeling tied or sleepy.

You need to be able to empty your mind of all thoughts for at least 1 minute.To start with this is very difficult,so to start you let any images fill your mind and follow them.Slowly as the days and sometime weeks go by less and less images will flood your thoughts.Once you can sit for 1 minute without any intruding thoughts.Try to increase minute bye minute for a max of 5.

You now have a kind of blank canvers in your mind.The next stage is to use physical objects like a white candle for your ball of white light.Take the candle and sit for a few seconds with it lit and your eyes closed.The image will still be fresh in your minds eye for a short time.

The next stage is to imagine the flame on a candle for a few seconds and slowly increase the time. Soon you will have no problems to do the exercise of visualising a ball of white light.

Another trick at this stage is to write down what you want to be able to do in your BOS like a story.Because what else do you do on reading any book but visualise. I hope that helps.BB Karl

I have had great experiences visualising the ball of white light using just what a bubble from soap(like blowing bubbles). They have the full spectrum of light. This might help to keep the red in it's place. Please remember that the white ball should have all the colors rolling around in it. White pure light has every single color of the rainbow, u might want to try by just letting the colors swirl until it becomes competely white. Hope this helps

I have the same problem with the ball for cleansing and releasing. What I had to do was visualize being totally immersed in liquid light and letting it permeate my entire being flushing out all negativity. Being a water sign, and having aquatic tendencies, this helped me. I can hold the visualization of the ball, but I find the immersion technique to be more effective for me. I don't know about the red light. It may just be a stray thought interfering, or stress.

well i tried to do the exercises this morning and guess what???? all kinds of fruit came forward... i started off with a lemon and then it got followed by a apple, a banana, a grape and a cherry. then i finished with an egg (white one yayyy) and at one point i switched from the egg to a white lemon and back to the egg which i could hold as long as i could and let that fill my head and my body and tried to expand it a few feet from my body!!!

Seriously, sometimes my head is totally screwed up lol!! where did these fruits come from loll!!!!

Perhaps it is the "fruits" of your labor..lol. It could just be your mind telling you that you are on the right path and that you don't need to try so hard, or it could be something completely different.
