The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul

I was expecting a more full spectrum guide book to color therapy and meditation. Focuses on healing your relationship with your mother.....not that that is necessarily a bad thing....but states that this is where all healing begins. Don't agree with that, but for some it may be a good starting place. Would not recommend this to anyone.

i was disappointed because its seems to me that he doesn't know that much about healing. When he talks about healing your relationship with your mother and imagining having a good relationship with her as being so important it just did not resonate with me. I dont think bringing up old memories is neccesary.

Thank you!

Seldom is it that an esteemed expert in his field gives such forthright and open praise to, and expresses such appreciation for, someone who is just as experienced and knowledgeable in their own field as does John Diamond, M.D., at the start of The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul. Professor Max Lûscher, M.D., is an acknowledged color expert in the field of psychiatry, to whom Diamond declares his indebtedness in respect of the five test colors that form the basis of the Diamond Color Meditation that Diamond presents in this book. The author has already achieved great success with them both in his holistic healing practice, as well as on a more directly personal level with himself and with his loved ones.The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul is described by Dr. John Diamond as "a guide to using the spiritual power of colors--including very special Lûscher colors [dark blue, blue-green, orange-red and bright yellow, which are all provided in the form of color charts in the book]--to help you take the next steps on your lifelong spiritual journey. Through Color to the Soul."Above all, this work is intended to solve our anguish through the practical application of the use of color in such a way that we are once more able to come to a grateful acceptance of our being in the Universe. Coming to terms with our own Existential angst and rising above it by means of the use of such tools as the metatherapeutic technique that Diamond shares with us in The Diamond Color Meditation is the only way in which we can find true resolution in our lives.The spiritual and literary roots of Diamond's research into the workings of the human psyche are explored with us as he uncovers the meaning of the undeniable wisdom of the most profound thinkers across the centuries. In what others might have been tempted to make esoteric and beyond the grasp of the unenlightened, Diamond explains and explicates in so simple and meaningful a way that even those with only a secondary level of education can follow with ease. Diamond deserves praise for rendering such a potentially complex subject so meaningful and relevant to all who choose to be open to what he has to say. In this rainbow of a book, with its colorful illustrations, he lights our way to the deepest and darkest recesses of our minds and souls. Won't you allow him to transform your life as well?

Quite easily the most peace-inducing, effective and user-friendly aide to practical meditation I have ever come across; you know that all the colors have been tested, as have their sequence, to achieve optimum effect: it's sheer genius and, as with all the output of this prodigious and prolific healer, the underlying intent will guarantee the raising of one's essential life energy. Sheer beauty; and passionately recommended.

The Diamond Color Meditation is a revolutionary approach to meditation by one of the world's great pioneers of holoistic medicine. It is deceptively simple, so much so that I believe most anyone could do it and benefit. It certainly does not require any previous experience of meditation and, indeed, is very different from the usual "passive" Eastern-derived approach. More important, the benefits are immediate, long-lasting and profound.The reason for this is that the Meditation goes the heart of our life problems by helping to alleviate what Dr. Diamond terms our existential anguish, the root cause of all human suffering and disease, both physical and mental. The result is our Life Energy is raised at the deepest level.I cannot stress enough the brilliant simplicity of the approach and its effectiveness. Doing the Meditation on a daily basis helps my entire day, enhancing my creativity, relationships and general functioning. I understand that it is the fruit of years of research and is yet another example of the astounding originality, insight, and therapeutic efficacy of Dr. Diamond's work. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

I have been doing this active color meditation for over a year now, and I still find the process very centering and uplifting. The brilliance of the book is its simplicity - it addresses a deep psychological issue, finding the love of one's mother, with a very practical series of colors and symbols, all framed in black to maximize their effect.Of course, the result is generalized from one's mother to the rest of the world. In this regard, it is the simplest and most effective "how to be more loving" book I have found.

I've had this for a month now and use it daily. I find it quickly and simply gets me to a place where I feel the meditation is working to get insights I haven't accessed before. I read a review of it on merliannews.com: "...the author has designed this system to overcome the anguish and bring about deep healing....You may feel an immediate shift in the first reading/meditation, or a sense of the old wounds loosening and softening. If you continue for several days, more good effects continue to roll in - the colors are by turns soothing, energizing and healing." That convinced me to work with the book and I think it is simply fantastic!

I was recommended this by a friend and did not have much of an idea as to what it was. I have always been interested in colour so I ordered it. It isn't a book as such more of a workbook spiral boun with few pages - the requisite instructions for using the colour plates and said special plates. It turned out to be a way of transforming the relationship with one's mother and it worked! I had a difficult mother with everyone she ever met finding her difficult. But I went through the short proces and was truly amazed at the results - quite a revelation really and I would have no hesitations in recommending it to everyone.
