Light Meditation

Aloha Everyone,

This is a beautiful meditation but don’t worry if you are unable to “get it” on your first attempt.  Eventually, just as in other meditation techniques, the Light Meditation will help expand your awareness about yourself and the universe

TECHNIQUE:

Sit in a chair or if you are sitting on the floor, come to an easy pose with legs crossed

Elongate your spine, stomach relaxed, chest lifted

Both hands in Gyan Mudra

Bring the right hand about 4 - 6 inches further up than the left hand.

Check to see that the fingertips of the left hand are in line with the wrist of the right hand

Maintain this position throughout the meditation



Imagine you are standing in an open field

Visualize yourself walking as the day is breaking

Visualize a single morning star, it is bright and shining directly above you

Enjoy the coolness of the morning, immerse yourself in this beautiful scene

(Meditation Music May be Used)

Visualize a beam of pure white light from the star above you is penetrating your heart chakra

This beam of light is a pathway leading up to the star

Visualize that you are walking up this pathway of light

Imagine the beams of blessing lights are removing the darkness, sadness, disappointments, fear and anger

Begin mentally chanting “I am beautiful.”

“I am light.”

Imagine yourself merging into the light.

Imagine yourself becoming more subtle.

Imagine yourself becoming more aware, more beautiful.

Take a deep breaths, hold out your breath as long as you are comfortable

Feel yourself becoming the pure light.

Bring your arms up, palms open 60 degrees

Feel the light.

Be the light.

Rest.

Cathi’s note:  I first learned a form of light meditation in one of my Kundalini Yoga classes in San Diego. The above is a combined version as taught by Master Meditator Anmol Metha and another meditation teacher who used music to help the students with visualization.  .  Do not expect immediate results.  Be patient, relax, enjoy and be at peace.  Suggested time is 1 minutes for beginner and 3 – 7 minutes for more experienced meditation students.

Namaste -- Cathi
