INNER LIGHT MEDITATION

This is a meditation for connecting you with your Inner Spirit.... your essence or core Self. It uses the light that is already within you as an object of focus. It's a fairly simple meditation, but is quite powerful, and potentially very deep.

Steps of Inner Light Meditation

Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.


Look at the "screen" that fills the space behind your closed eyelids.

There will be particles, images, or patterns of light on this screen. (Consider anything that is not pure darkness to be a form of light.) Gently focus your attention on the light.

Don't try to create or interpret images. Don't attempt to focus clearly. Simply look at the light with relaxed attention.

If you feel as though your consciousness is shifting, or you are slipping into a dreamlike state, allow it to happen. Whatever you experience is ok.

If you find you have drifted off into your thoughts, simply bring your attention back to the light.
