Light My Fire!

Writing about the sunshine yesterday reminded me of a favorite meditation involving light. This guided healing meditation uses an image of light moving through the body as you meditate to create an intention of healing. Since this cold still has me down, this journey of light seemed like the right remedy!

Divine Sparkles

Light imagery ignites strong feelings for me. I believe we all have a celestial spark inside that animates us. When I use this guided healing meditation, I imagine a light outside me moving through my body and merging with my own personal pilot light. The moving light helps me focus on the journey and cherish my body, encouraging it to heal itself as only it knows how.

I also use this technique to heal any anxious thoughts or disruptive attitudes that may be plaguing me. Focusing on this process leaves my mind behind, along with all my current preoccupations, work and otherwise. I feel so restored at the end—in fact, I often nod off briefly! Getting away from my mind’s antics and focusing on healing thoughts restores me to a feeling of centeredness and wellness.

Meet My Guru

I learned this meditation from my teacher Steven Sadleir, founder of The Self-Awareness Institute. Visit the website if you’d like to try one of the free downloads. Steven’s style is very easygoing and accessible; he talks about jumping into the Jacuzzi of consciousness—doesn’t that sound like fun? Healing in this way just plain feels better than when I resort to cold medications. No side effects!

Now I’m ready to resume a “rescue” edit and start the craft book that’s waiting in the wings for my attention. I’m ready to focus and fix things, and enjoy my work. You know, I am rejuvenated in a similar way just by being outside in the sunshine, letting it warm me all the way to my bones—no wonder I’m eager for spring to arrive! Tomorrow, a walk might be my diversion from sniffles and sneezes!
