Mindful Monday: I Experience The Unbroken Flame In My Inner Eye

Meditating on a Candle

• Place a lit candle in front of you.

• Establish your comfortable seated pose.

• Breathe in, aware of being in your body.

• Breathe out, aware of your body relaxing.

• Gaze softly at the candle light.

• Close your eyes after a minute or so and envision an un-flickering flame in your mind's eye, the area between your eye brows.

• When your attention drifts off to thoughts, open your eyes and focus on the flame, then close them and envision the flame in your mind's eye.
