Heart Light Meditation

  1. Settle In
    Close your eyes and relax. Allow your body to soften into stillness.

  2. Awareness of Breath
    Bring gentle attention to your breath.

    Thoughts may come, see them like passing clouds. Sounds may arise, let them drift away.

    Each time your mind wanders, kindly guide it back to your breath.

  3. Breath Cleansing
    Begin breathing in white light, exhaling black smoke.

    • Inhale: pure, radiant white light.

    • Exhale: release black smoke, and with it-release any heaviness or tension.
      Continue for 5-8 breaths, until the black smoke dissolves and only light remains.

  4. Heart Center Focus
    Shift awareness to your heart center. Visualize a gentle flame, candle, lamp, or radiant sun glowing within. Spend a few moments observing this light from your inner eye of awareness.

  5. Sitting with the Light
    Rest with this light in your heart for 3-5 minutes, simply being present with it.

  6. Expanding the Light
    Allow the light to grow, filling your heart, then expanding outward:

    • To your lungs, arms, and throat

    • To your face, head, and belly

    • To your lower abdomen, legs, and down to your feet

    Feel yourself becoming a body of light.

  7. Union with Light
    Remember: Your true nature is light. You are one with this radiant presence.

  8. Release & Surrender
    Let go of any emotions, thoughts, or heaviness that no longer serve you. Offer them into the light. Pause here.

    Repeat silently within:

    • I let go of any and all thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, or situations that no longer serve me, to the light.

    • I allow my light to fill the space created by this surrender.

    • I am light - in my body, mind, and heart. And so it is.

  9. Full Radiance
    Imagine your inner light glowing as bright as the sun at noon. This is you - pure light.

    Say to yourself- I am Light, I am Life, I am pure Consciousness.

    Stay with this feeling for as long as you need.

  10. Returning to the Room
    Gently bring your awareness back. Rub your palms together, feel the warmth, and place them softly over your eyes. When ready, open your eyes with a refreshed heart.

  11. Closing Blessing
    And as my mother says:
    Keep your heart light. 🌸

With Love & Light
