Let us sit up straight for Jyothi Meditation. Hands relaxed in the lap, with your right hand on top of your left hand, palms facing up, and thumbs lightly touching. Take a deep breath, and breathe…slowly and evenly.
Look steadily at the flame before you. Now, close your eyes and visualize the flame, with its warm golden color. Bring the flame nearer and nearer to you and feel it enter you through the center of your forehead, between your eyebrows. Let the flame descend to your heart and imagine your heart as a beautiful lotus flower, pure and white. As the flame enters the heart, imagine the petals of the lotus open out, one by one, bathing every single thought, feeling and emotion, in the light and so, removing darkness from them. Your heart is now filled with light, with love and peace. With this light YOU ARE FULL OF LOVE AND YOU ARE PURE.
Imagine
the light in your heart growing wider,…bigger,…brighter, and radiating its
rays down your arms, all the way to your hands, filling both hands with light.
Your hands are now filled with light and have become the instruments of
light and love. With this light YOU
WILL DO GOOD DEEDS AND SERVE ALL.
Now, visualize the light in your heart spreading down the body, slowly along the legs to the feet and filling both feet with light. Your feet are now filled with light. With this light YOU WILL GO, ONLY TO GOOD PLACES WHERE THERE IS LOVE, LIGHT, AND PEACE, AND MEET ONLY WITH GOOD PEOPLE.
Let
the light spread from the heart, up to your throat and surround the tongue and
the mouth with light. Your mouth
and tongue are now filled with light. Now,
with this light YOU WILL SPEAK SOFTLY AND ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH AND SAY ONLY
WHAT IS NECESSARY AND USEFUL.
Slowly,
the light extends upward to the ears and fills both ears with light. With this
light YOU WILL HEAR ONLY GOOD THINGS.
Now, extend the light and let it spread to the eyes, filling both eyes with light. Again, concentrate on the light. With this light YOU WILL SEE GOOD, IN ALL THINGS.
Now,
visualize the light entering your forehead and filling the head with
light…purifying the mind. Your
head is now charged with light. Now,
with this light ALL UNHEALTHY AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS VANISH.
DARKNESS CANNOT BE PRESENT AND YOU, WILL ONLY HAVE GOOD THOUGHTS.
Imagine the light in you, glowing more and more intensely. Let the light shine all around you, enveloping you in the brilliance of love. Now, visualize the divine form of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and offer this light at His Lotus Feet. Now, extend this light and surround your loved ones,…other members of your family,…friends,…and especially those who are unkind to you or whom you perceive to be unkind to you. May they all be filled with light, with love and with peace.
Let
the light expand to the entire world so that all mankind, animals, plants and
all living beings are filled with light. May
the entire universe be filled with light. Now,
imagine that there is ONLY LIGHT and that YOU are the source of this light. The light is within YOU.
You are ONE with the light.
Now, sit silently for a few minutes, and immerse yourself in this light, in love and in peace.
