The Light

In a guided meditation I saw this light as a lit candle shining bright in the center, right around the heart area, of each individual .  This space, that is in all of us, is warm, peaceful, sacred and powerful.  When you are in this space no one and nothing can touch you, it is that deep and profound.  You are safe, loved and one with all.  You feel a sense of awe and a complete sense of belonging.  You are home. 

Different people have a different visual of this light, but the feel of it is very consistent from person to person based on my experience.  I believe "the light" is a metaphor for this space of elevated energy, our link to the Divine, God, Allah, whatever expression you feel most comfortable with.  It maybe even is the seat of your soul and/or the Higher Self?  All I know is that it feels GREAT and the first time I got a taste of it I wanted more.

Most people, myself included, have lost touch with this space over the years and even forgotten that it is there.  The good news is that it is always there no matter how much we try to block it out.  It is our choice as to whether we want it as part of our lives, the center of our lives or not at all.

As an engineer and a very analytical person it has been a work in progress for me to find this light in me and to integrate it into my day-to-day life.  Just last month though I have become aware that my journey entails this space/light being in the center of my life, not just a part of it. So here I go!

In the coming days/weeks/months I will be sharing my learnings on how to overcome hurdles (assuming I overcome them  :) ) and anything else that might come up.  For today though, I would like to share a few suggestions on how to find this space.  If you have other suggestions, please share them!  I would love to hear about them.

HOW TO FIND THE LIGHT:
1. First and foremost, if you got this far, you are already on your way by KNOWING that there is such a space in you!  So congratulations, step one is done!
2. Close your eyes and breathe.  Set your intent on what you would like to achieve.  Let your thoughts go and then start searching within yourself.  Visualize yourself as a house and it is up to you to find the hidden door.  Let your senses guide you.
3. Odds are that the door is hidden by fears.  So if you can't find the door look for your fears.  Once you find the fear(s) either work through them or ask the fear(s) to step aside so you can take a peak.
4. If you feel you can't do this on your own, find a coach or someone who can guide you to find your space or help you raise your energy level.
5. Prayer is another great way to get in touch with the light!!!
