Any thoughts on the experiential differences between the different colors? My guess is that there are different energetic effects, but I am unsure. And Visuddhimagga was not super helpful...pic.twitter.com/khvPlUh7XR
Possibly of interest, from Thitapuñño Bhikkhu: "The choice of a suitable colour to practice with may be determined by the teacher based on the student’s temperament. The commentaries indicate that colour kasinas are particularly suited for greedy temperaments (see Ref. 3d)." 1/
"If the meditator has strong aesthetic inclination towards a particular colour, it may be a good first choice. In general, white would be suitable for most temperaments; yellow has an energizing quality and is a good subject for those who are lethargic or tend to be depressed" 2/
"blue is suitable for one of greedy or angry temperament due to its cooling quality (but the reason one may use it may be that it also has a refreshing quality when one practises in a hot climate)" 3/
"red is a warm colour that may be suitable for a person who is apathetic or who practices in a cold climate." 4/
"One may experiment by practising with a particular colour for a few days, then switching to the next for the same number of days, and so on, until one is able to assess by experience what is personally more suitable." /end See: https://web.archive.org/web/20031230220324/http://www.birken.ca/texts/Kasina_final.html …
Awesome! Thanks for all of this! I felt drawn to yellow, will see how that unfolds and then move through some others...
