We come up with images based on the colors of the rainbow
At the initial stage, think about what you associate each of these colors with. The selected images must be of the same color and must be clearly visualized.
For example:
- Red – Kremlin Tower;
- Orange – corn;
- Yellow banana;
- Green – crocodile;
- Blue - moon;
- Blue – Avatar (from the film of the same name);
- Purple – Cheshire Cat.

Serial connection of the resulting images
In order to connect our images, we will use one of the methods described below. Which one you prefer is up to you.
Chain method
Here we clearly connect images in the colors of the rainbow with each other, fixing the images with each other for 4-6 seconds. Connections should be as vivid and unusual as possible, and in general, memorable.
Example:
An orange is stuck on the top of the Kremlin tower, and an ear of corn grows from the orange. The corn, in turn, is gnawed by a crocodile and at the same time he sits on the Moon. The Avatar is holding the moon above him, and the Cheshire Cat is digging into his leg =)
To learn how to connect images correctly, watch my video:
The “Unusual Story” Method
We connect the images into a ridiculous story, imagining how each previous image interacts with the next one.
Example:
The Kremlin tower grows an orange tree, on which ears of corn emerge from the oranges. Corn cobs hatch into little crocodiles that crawl on the moon. This Moon revolves around the Avatar, and the Avatar strokes the Cheshire Cat =)
Sayings in English and rainbow

By the way, do you remember how to say “mushroom rain” in English? A sunshower. I just finished filming another 5-minute conversational English lesson - right in the rain. And suddenly - a rainbow, and what a rainbow: all over the sky and so close! It was as if the universe had built a bridge to a dream and the sky smiled broadly. And then lines from my favorite song, catchphrases, proverbs and sayings in English about bad weather, rain and rainbows came to mind.

Translated quotes in English
I loved you once, and still, perhaps, love's yearning Within my soul has not quite burned away. But may it nevermore be concerning; I would not wish you sad in any way. My love for you was wordless, hopeless cruelly, Drowned now in shyness, now in jealousy, And I loved you so tenderly, so truly, As God grant by another you may be.

Philosophy
Indian philosophy is the worldview of a community, where the individual perceives himself as part of the surrounding world, does not confront nature (which must be subdued!), but feels a kinship with it: father is the Sun, mother is the Earth, grandmother is the Moon, spider, corn, the river is spiritual, living beings. They must be respected and under no circumstances should they be destroyed, thus trampling the balance of the universe (the whole) and destroying oneself.
