The beautiful, bright, healing, energizing Light of God, of Enlightenment is available to you! With the following visualization and mantra we present one technique for touching it.

The Meditation

Sit comfortably - either with your legs crossed sitting on the floor or on a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Sit with your back straight. [This posture keeps you body alert and maximizes the flow of energy.]

Now close your eyes.

Imagine the sky. It is bright, brighter than you have ever seen. It is bright with the warm, lustrous, white light of 1 million suns. Keep focusing on this sky.

Imagine that you begin to be absorbed into the wonderful light from the sky. The top of your head disappears into the light. Your hair, eyes, nose, ears, lips, tongue all turn into light. Your neck, shoulders, arms, heart turn to light. All your internal organs transform. Your hips, genitals, legs, knees, feet, and toes all merge with the light. Your entire body is made of light.

Keeping your light body, repeat the mantra a few times. 3, 9, 27, 54, and 108 are good repetitions.
