I watched Rinpoche's Mantras again.  Please read this paraphrased quote  -

You visualise the Hum on a moon disc and around that is Om Mani Padme Hum going around with 6 different colours - representing the 6 different realms of samsara which you wish to conquer and empty out and brilliant lights going out into the 6 realms and eliminating the sufferings of others, while you recite the mantra methodically.

Does anyone have a visual for this colourful moon disc with the Hum on it to aid the meditation?

I love this mantra and would like to try this meditation along with it.

another thing - could I use this same visualisation during Medicine Buddha mantra chanting? - when I'm not doing the full Medicine Buddha practice that is.  I had a little practice with Om Mani Padme Hum and also Healing Buddha Mantra, with this moon disk visual and I could really feel my heart activating.  I like that alot.  Do you think it's ok?

Hope the animation in this page helps your visualization:
