This meditation is good with any candle.
Give yourself 10 to 30 minutes of uninterrupted
time.
Turn off your phone and
anything else that could distract you.
Sit in a comfortable
posture, either on a chair or on the floor cross-legged,
the important thing is to be comfortable and to have your
spine straight.
Allow each step to proceed
naturally; move forward only when you are ready. Don’t
rush at all.
- Light your candle.
- Gently gaze at the candle. Let
your eyes relax.
- Breathe through your nose. Take
deep long breaths.
- Breathe abdominally. When you
inhale swell from your tummy.
- When you exhale squeeze in with your tummy.
- Close your eyes and stay with your breath.
- Inhale to the count of seven and
exhale to the count of seven. Focus on the flow of
your breath.
- Feel it flow into your body, filling
every cell with energy and life, then as you exhale, let
yourself be very present in the very moment. Let
all thoughts fall away as you focus on
your breathing. It might take time and practice.
- Dive into the spaces of silence between
thoughts. Let
these spaces become longer and longer.
- It is within these spaces that you
begin to experience meditation. It is here that meditation
begins!
