Did you add colors when opening the 5 power Gates?

Just curious if you add colors to the power gates as it was described in the The Art of True Healing by Israel Regardie.

Coz in the NAP book, it only described an all white light for the 5 power gates throughout the exercises and only adds the desired color according to the needs after the fountain ritual.

Does it makes any differences with those two exercise?

If you're a beginner, it'll help if you associate the colours but it's
not necessary. I personally do it since it just reinforces the idea
in my head.

Anywhere possible try to use specific color when opening the power gates. Everything adds up to having a more successful quicker ritual. If you are just starting off as a beginner, it is fine to stick with bright white light.

I focus on the spot on the body and the feeling of the Godnames, if you will.

Perhaps ill add colors eventually, but i find adding things must be done in a stair like fashion. Too much at once is counterproductive.

This is from my standing meditation practice.

First, learn how to align the body correctly.
then relax. Then, each progressive step is energy related.
visualize energy going up and down, back and forward.
then filling, emptying. Etc.

Ive found exercises i learn to work well with this formula.
Feel the energy centers, then focus on the chants. Then colors imo.
