This is a mini vacation you can take whenever you want. It’s your secret place. The place you can go to when you want to relax. This mediation helps us to master the everyday life. Try it when you’re stressed.

Imagine energies of light associated with earth energy and the powers of nature flowing through us. These energies strengthen us and bring us in psychic balance. Read the rest of this entry »

Tara is a female Tibetan goddess of love (somehow like Kuan Yin in China). Keep your eyes closed and support your sacral imagination by starting with prayers and bhakta-meditations in front of a tankha (Tib. religeous painting). Feel her golden body as yours, consisting merely of a shell made of light. The forehead is decorated with a diadem in the shape of the third eye. You are full of love and understanding and smiling. Now imagine your body of light to increase to the size of the room, to the size of the house and to the size of cosmos. Every living entity now is existing inside of you and you feel love to all beings. Stay in this cosmic state as long as possible. Cease meditation by decreasing your Tara body to the size of a pearl, which stays in your mystic heart as your great treasure.

This meditation gives you a feeling of protection in everyday life. The Holy Mother (if you are a Buddhist, then it is Tara or Kuan Yin) watches and guards your steps. Now nothing in life, can harm you. Enhance this feeling throughout the day.

Directions: For this meditation fashion a small altar with a picture of your protecting deity. Place a lighted candle and a few flowers on either side. Then wash your hands, as a symbol of inner and outer cleanliness. Say a short prayer and then start your meditation. Envision your goddess (or God, or Christ, or the Virgin Mary) surrounding you with light and love and insuring your health, strength and protection.

Before starting your meditations on light, make yourself intimate with the shine of light by merely 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).

Like all other meditations this meditation as well should be started with prayer and the feeling of unification with all beings. A ritual may intensify your prayer and your inner state of peace and love.

As soon as haste and problems of life have vanished, start your meditation on light:  Read the rest of this entry »

Sit comfortably and relax. Direct your awareness within your body; feel the warmth of your body and feel the blood circulate in the vessels. As you feel life pulsate in your body, let your awareness become finer and try to feel the finer inner energies. Do not tell yourself that this is “only your imagination.” It works nevertheless. You will feel light encircling your body.  Read the rest of this entry »

This kind of meditation is found in mystic exercises of several religions. In central Europe (where I live) you very often find paintings that show Jesus, whose heart is inflamed by love to all humans. Warmth and light radiate out from the holy heart to all suffering humans, spending them love and peace. This love makes no difference between good and evil, but spreads to all beings like the shine of the sun.

Concentrate your awareness at the middle of your breast (not at the physical heart !!!). Breathing in and out imagine as you inflame the fire of your heart, like using bellows (so as the alchemists candled the flame of the athanor = alchemist stove). The fire of your mystic heart is the fire of love.

First- if you would like to use candles or incense, prepare that at this time.

Then, sit comfortably or lie down, whichever you prefer.

Close your eyes and visualize yourself being surrounded by a gentle mist. This mist is warm and comforting, and has a golden hue to it. Feel the mist, the warmth and moistness of it. You notice the color gradually changing to become silvery. The light does not come from any single source, it is just all around you. The light is gradually becoming brighter and brighter.  Read the rest of this entry »
