A Meditation on the Light Within

Sit.  Comfortable. Spine long. Breath deep, even, effortless.
Bring your awareness to a point in the center of your body,
  between navel and sternum.

There, is a spark, a tiny glowing ember.

With each inhale, the ember glows larger and brighter,
  the breath energizing the ember until a golden flame bursts forth.

Each breath feeds the flame, and warm golden light spreads out in all directions –
  extending up toward heart,
  down toward navel,
  out to the front ribs,
  back to the spine. 

Continue to breathe, bringing energy to the flame as it expands –
  up through your shoulders,
  down to fill your pelvis.

Watch as the light begins to fill your legs and arms,
  out past the knees and elbows,
  extending through ankles and wrists,
  filling toes and fingers with a warm, golden glow.

The next breath makes the light even brighter,
  as it rises up the spine through the neck to fill the entire skull.

Warm, golden light now fills your entire body,
  and begins to radiate out into the space around you,
  filling it with warmth, presence, love.

Your light extends out to meet the light of others,

  merging into a larger sense of presence and unity.
