How To Meditate

Let yourself rest peacefully and comfortably. Shake out any tension and close your eyes. Be still. Imagine a warm crimson light shining gently on your face, especially on your forehead. This light fills you with a sense of peace and of love. Feel the crimson light fill your head and face with this peaceful love. Notice how the thousands of muscles in your face relax. Allow that light to quiet your thoughts. Sense the crimson light moving down your neck and shoulders, relaxing them and filling your upper body with a sense of ease. Notice the light moving down your arms, into your hands, fingertips and beyond. The light moves down your chest and torso, into your stomach, chasing the butterflies away, and bringing a sense of wholeness. As it moves through your pelvis, into your legs, feet, toes, and beyond, you sense a deep warmth and relaxation. The light now inhabits your entire body and brings peace and warmth to your entire being. Now sense this light as it collects in your heart. Place your hands on your heart. Feel the heat it creates all around your heart, the heat of love. This is the divine love, which can flow through you, and into the world. Sense how it keeps your heart strong, and pumps life into your body every moment of the day. Notice that this light flows into your heart. It's source is unending and inexhaustible. It will never run out, and it can be given to others and in so doing it will not only be replenished but will grow. Share this crimson light with others. Call to mind your loved ones, family, friends. One by one send this light out to them. See them encompassed with light. . . . Now, share this light with your entire town, see the light encompassing the town, and surrounding and entering into all people in town from old to young. . . . Now, share this light with your country. See it cover all the land, streets, homes, buildings, highways and waterways. See it fill every person everywhere in the country with love. See the smiling faces, the peace, and contentment. . . . Now, send this light into the entire world, to every country, to every person of every color. See it surround them, enter into them, and give them joy. See the people of the world united in love and joy as they smile with gratitude and humility. Now, finally, send this light into the universe, to all planets, solar systems, and beyond. And notice that all is now encompassed in this light. Realize that this light does shine on all in the universe. It is what gives us life, and makes us one. See the light inside yourself. Say thanks for the light, and know that it is always available to you.
