Meditation on a Candle Flame




Before starting your meditations on light, make yourself intimate with the shine of light, by mere looking at the flame of a candle.

1) Sit comfortable, put one palm above the other, as this is usually done in meditation. On the palm of the upper hand hold a burning candle. Have a steady look at the flame of the candle.

2) Feel the light of the candle as substantial like air and imagine, while breathing in, how the light is inhaled. A stream of light flows into your breast (sanskr. = anahata chakra) or into your front (sanskr. = ajna chakra, or you may use the front chakra - this is an other chakra than the ajna chakra; on the front you have three chakras).

3) Close your eyes and make your meditation as told in part 2, but now by mere imagination.
