A Suggestion...

Lying in the sun, face it with eyes closed.

Stare at the back of your eyelids as intensely as you would a delicate still life.

Focus, observe the pure color of abstract observation.

Experiment with using one hand to block sunlight from one eye, the other, or both. Different distances can block more or less light.

Squeeze your eyes closed tighter for an explosion of new color.

Open your eyes, just slightly slightly and observe the bright unfocused white patterns of light reflecting on your eye lashes set against the blue of the sky, with the hood of your eyelid weighing over it all.

Open your eyes completely and stare at a tree or some other object for a few minutes. Then return to your eyes closed facing the sun and observe the silhouetted fragments of pure color.

Do these things for at least an hour.
