This visualization draws upon Jewish meditation techniques from medieval Kabbalah (meaning "receive") - the "received" tradition of mystical teachings passed down orally from master to disciple over many generations, and preserved also in written form in various esoteric Jewish texts. One purpose of this visualization is to allow us to perceive the subtle energy (symbolized by light) that is just beyond our ordinary consciousness, and to connect the ohr penimi - our inner light - with the ohr makif - the encompassing or surrounding light of the Divine. By so doing, we become aware of a Source of powerful energy that we can choose to tap into at any time. Another aspect of this particular practice is to enliven the sefirot ("emanations" sefirah, singular) - energy centers that can be mapped onto the subtle body or onto the cosmos, often compared to the chakras. By visualizing light filling each sefirah, we attain a state of greater balance and harmony.

Transcript

As you take your seat,

Begin to settle in.

Center yourself by becoming aware of the feeling of where your body touches the ground or your chair.

Notice where in your body you're holding tension and begin to gently release that tension,

Whether it's in your back,

Your shoulders,

Neck,

Jaws.

As you relax,

Become aware of your breath.

Feel the breath as it ebbs and flows.

Ride the breath as if you're riding on gentle waves.

As your breath begins to naturally slow and deepen,

Feel your whole body relaxing into stillness.

As your body becomes still,

Notice how your mind follows.

Now,

Visualize a column of light gently flowing in through the crown of your head,

The light flowing into you slowly,

Smoothly,

Filling your head with light as it flows down from your forehead,

Through the area of your third eye,

Into your throat,

Down through your arms and torso.

Feeling your chest radiating throughout the space of the heart.

Down into your abdomen,

Your solar plexus,

Each area becoming filled with a sphere of light radiating warmth like a series of small suns.

Allow the light to flow into the area of your seat and down through both legs,

Both feet,

And your toes until your entire body is filled with light.

Now,

In your mind's eye,

Notice the space around your body.

Allow the light pulsing within you to expand beyond the outlines of your body until you are filled and surrounded by one giant orb of light.

Allow the light to expand even further and further still until there is nothing but a vast ocean of light filling the entire universe.

Rest in the awareness of being one with that endless field of light.

When you are ready to return to ordinary consciousness,

Become aware once more of your body and your breath.

Feel where your seat connects you to the ground.

Become aware once more of time and space.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.
