Imagine the candle as an entrance way to the vast
spiritual dimensions permeating everything, imagine
it as the doorway to the inner universe. You might
see this candle flame standing at the threshold
between the physical and spiritual universes.
As you fix your gaze upon it, feel that you are
looking at the candle with your heart and that you
are travelling through it with infinite peace.
Follow the flow of energy with your breath.
Breathe in the infinite peace of the spiritual
universe. Feel your heart opening and expanding as
that peace flows into your being like a golden
light.
On your outward breath feel that your worries and
anxieties which give birth to all your mental,
emotional and physical tensions, are being gathered
up and released.
You might imagine this is as a flow of light. You
are breathing in a golden white light that is
illumining your being with peace, and the darkness
that is your tension in all it's flavours, you are
letting go.
Try this for at least 5 minutes. If you want you can
meditate in this manner alternatively on love;
breathing out and releasing hate or anger or
breathing in joy and breathing out depression and
melancholy.
