In The Light

A talk and meditation on being in the Light. We are all created and living in light. There are many ways to activate that light in you. It's a mater of calling upon that light, receiving it, and absorbing it. I use a few ways you can be in the light.

Transcript

Well,

This is an important time to talk about light because it's nice to be able to join in the light together because the light is a fantastic force for good.

The light is enlightening.

The light is illuminating.

The light is this energy field,

You know,

In the beginning,

What was there?

I use the word God again,

Meaning the ultimate source.

In the beginning,

God created heaven and earth and he said,

Let there be light.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why that light?

Why?

Well,

Light is a vibrational energy and frequency.

It's a fantastic energy field that then radiates this frequency in this energy field and all of creation is radiating this amazing light.

Now,

Having worked with light for a long,

Long time,

There's a lot of things to understand and use with light.

You know,

You learn how to actually connect and call in the light.

But when you call in the light,

You know,

You can do this,

Our innate spiritual power to bring about more of that energy field that we need to help so many right now.

There's so much need,

So much need.

So as I was saying,

Light,

You know,

When you use light,

The good thing to do is to,

You know,

We first will go into,

You go into your breath.

And of course,

It's a kind of form of,

I don't know if there's,

Is there a form of mindfulness called light?

Light mindfulness?

We'll kind of do a light mindfulness meditation.

And then I'll give you some exercises I've learned over the years that are very powerful light exercises that you can use that I find very effective.

A few things that we can remember before we go into meditation here together is that,

You know,

Light,

As we call it in,

Has to have a place to receive it.

Now there's this old Zen,

I'll paraphrase Cohen,

Where a student,

You know,

Has been searching amongst,

Been looking for a long time for enlightenment,

And he goes and climbs up this hill,

And he finally gets to the master Zen teacher,

And he,

And he starts talking and saying how he's done all this stuff,

And he,

He's wanting to,

You know,

Get that light,

He wants enlightenment.

And meanwhile,

The Zen teacher is pouring tea into a cup,

And he keeps pouring and pouring and pouring,

And of course,

All of the tea goes over the cup and starts spilling all over the floor.

And the monk says,

Wait,

Stop,

You're spilling your tea all over.

The idea being,

If you have a full cup,

If you are in that place where you don't have a vehicle,

A receptive cup to receive,

That energy coming in necessarily can't be fully received.

So one of the great keys is,

When you go into meditation,

You do that mindfulness,

You do that breath,

And you make an intention to connect with the light.

You call in the light,

But then you have to have a place to receive that light,

Right?

And then when you receive that light,

Then what happens after you receive it is the master just pouring and pouring the tea,

And then,

Then you have to have a way to share that light,

You know,

And that's where the work comes in that I think a lot of us have been doing because of all the need and the challenges we've been going through in this world,

That I'm sure some of you have been finding a way to creatively express and help,

You know,

Maybe it's maybe it's just putting down a blog or taking a picture,

Being kind,

Or maybe it's by doing your own teachings,

Or maybe it's some way but I know that anyone who is and has been meditating like you for a while,

Finds a way that this energy we receive has to be given back.

It's been pretty amazing over the last 25 days,

Since the fires happened,

How much we've received any container loads and container loads of stuff,

A man came into the radio station where I worked and he works for Long's Drugs,

Which is called CBC.

Anyway,

He's been working with this whole team of people to get supplies here to Maui,

But because of the problems in shipping,

It's taken three weeks to get here,

And now he has three container loads,

And he doesn't know how to get it out to the people.

So this is the thing,

How do we get out once we give our stuff?

I do it by just being here with you today.

So let's,

Without further ado,

Let's do some light work,

Let's do some energy work,

Let's do some meditation,

Let's do some calling in of the light,

And each and every one of you,

1,

2,

3,

4,

5,

6,

7,

8,

Oh,

Well good,

One more.

Each one of you is very important in the circle of light that we create,

Because we know that light is energy,

It comes from the source of all energy,

And if we join together each and every one of you have a beautiful energy field,

See the hearts of energy,

Even those little icons have energy,

So,

Because when I see it,

Right,

I react,

You know,

So that's energy that you,

Look at all these hearts,

That's love,

See,

That's a way of exchanging this love that we can have,

And it brings a smile to my face,

And a smile these days is a good thing,

You know.

I call them soul smiles,

Can you imagine?

Right now,

Let your soul smile,

See what happens,

Just let your soul be happy,

Let your soul be full of light,

Let your soul smile,

And you know what's nice about a smile is it exchanges energy back and forth,

Just like a bow,

You know,

Like a shout,

A bow,

Does the same thing,

So let's let our soul smile,

And let's call in the light,

Let's just for a moment,

Each of us go to that place inside,

And I'm closing my eyes now,

Because it's easier sometimes when I close my eyes,

Let's go inside,

And let's go to that wonderful place where our spine is comfortable,

And kind of erect,

Where there can be an energy flow of light,

Let's extend a protective light way up above us,

A beautiful,

Wonderful,

Radiant white light down through us,

Down the spine,

And through the legs,

And through the feet,

Grounded on the earth,

Until we have a wonderful vertical and horizontal to the right of us,

And left of us,

And in front of us,

And behind us,

And together,

We are in a fantastic field of wonderful white light,

Now let's extend that field to include each and every one here,

With all your souls present together,

In a force field of wonderful light,

Joining in one light field together,

And let's just let that light come in as we breathe in light,

Breathing in light,

Pausing,

And letting that light come out as we breathe out to all of the cells of our body,

Our mind,

Ah,

Just let that ah go,

Breathing in that light,

And letting it radiate and be part of our entire energy field,

And I can feel the tingle in my fingers,

Can you feel that light being received by you,

If there's anything that you might have blocking light,

Let's just allow it to be released right now,

As you scan your body,

How is that whole scanning of your light field in your head,

Feel your head,

Your eyes,

Your ears,

Explore it with light,

This is a light exercise I'm going to share with you that's very powerful,

Imagine a counterclockwise ray of light inside your head,

Going around and around,

Like a prayer wheel turning around,

And now while you're doing that,

Do another one with a light field going counterclockwise,

Round and round,

Clarifying all the energy,

And a beautiful way of cleansing the entire brain and consciousness into light,

Ah,

Just let that be light,

Be light,

Be in light,

Allowing that energy field to come down to your beautiful creative expressive throat chakra,

And allowing that energy to be full of a purifying,

Clarifying,

Radiating field of wonderful aqua marine light,

Every chakra is a rainbow of different colors of light,

Ah,

Just go,

Ah,

Ah,

Is a powerful word,

Ah,

Is God,

Is Allah,

Is in the Aramaic,

Ah,

Voom,

Is the original father,

Mother,

God,

Is ah,

So ah,

There,

Feel it,

Ah,

Radiating and allowing that now to come into your heart of hearts,

The key to using light properly is allowing your heart to have light,

And the light of love right there in your heart of hearts,

Because love is a secret activating force that brings that light into its full energy field,

Because that is where that source comes from,

Is that unconditional love,

Now we're going to do a little energy work with light in your heart,

See that heart of your heart having a beautiful golden green light going right into the center of your heart of hearts,

Every part of your heart is full of the light of love,

As you're doing this,

You're planting seeds of love right there in your heart,

And this love light is allowing your heart to let those blossoms of seed grow into a beautiful flower of light,

And feel that energy that is the flower of light blossoming in you now,

Breathe into that love light,

And allow that love to pour out,

Pour out to those who need your love,

Together let's create a beautiful field,

A blossoming field of lovely flowers,

A gorgeous field of flowers,

A heavenly field of all of you blossoms of light and love,

Each one of you is a flower in the garden of heaven,

And together here right now,

We can experience this field,

This beautiful field full of love and light,

Energized,

Powerized by the one light of all,

Now let's allow that beautiful energy we receive to go out and see it spreading out to the entire world,

To all the areas in the world that need our light and love,

Let's believe with the intent we give it that this light is now being sent and radiated out to the entire world,

And as if you were in heaven looking down on earth in this beautiful garden,

Send the blossoms of heaven down to earth,

Allow the earth to be radiated in a beautiful field of the blossoming of this highest light and love,

And see the light of the world working and taking any place that might be dark,

Let that love light now bring that darkness to light,

And see that beautiful energy field working and bringing people in the world to experience this beautiful power of the one light of love,

Let's breathe it in together as we send it out,

And now let it circle back and come back to you a million fold,

So you now can receive even more love and light,

And now allow that light to fill all of your body and chakras,

And now allow yourselves to be in that soul light that you are,

And let's just be in the presence of the one light of love,

Here and now,

What would you do with this gift,

This wonderful powerful radiant light,

We each have our gifts,

How would you express and send this light to you,

To allow you to fulfill your purpose here on earth,

Take all of this light and love you've received together here in this beautiful field,

And allow it to be coming into you,

To be able to be manifested in your perfect expression of a being of light and love here on this planet that needs you now more than ever,

And breathe it in and absorb it into all of your beingness,

Let that presence that you feel here now be you here in form,

Be in light,

Be enlightened,

There's nothing holding you back from being enlightened,

It's your choice,

You can choose at any moment to be enlightened,

But it's so good to know what you'll do when you have this powerful gift of light to use in your life,

Because that's really where the work is,

And now slowly come back,

Come back,

Come back,

Come back,

Come back,

Body,

Mind,

And soul completely filled with light,

And ah okay,

Okay,

You each thank you for following me in this beautiful process of being in light,

Because truly I experienced enlightenment when I was 15 years old,

And I found many beautiful things happened,

I saw auras,

I you know I saw life in a different perspective,

But of course the bliss,

But the most important thing is really how can you take this gift of who you are,

How can you take this amazing blessing of you as a light being and share it and help other people,

Now I want to thank Insight Timer,

Hi Carrie,

Thank you,

Greetings Carolyn,

So good to see you,

I'm sorry I was kind of out there,

Yeah how can you help,

That's a big question,

So that's where the real work becomes so valuable,

And it's easy to really just escape and do things that are distracting,

But if you can take this beautiful energy that you are and share this light and love,

That's where the great gift is,

Melanie,

Oh thank you,

Thank you,

I'm using,

I have a microscope here,

I actually,

It's an inhaler,

I got,

Okay,

That was intense,

Yes,

Tingling,

Tingling is good,

You know what,

I feel tingling whenever I'm bringing light in,

And yes,

As you've ever done Reiki,

I'm a Reiki master,

You know,

Have,

Are any of you Reiki masters,

Yes,

It is powerful,

If you're a Reiki master and you know,

And have done this whenever you do Reiki,

You feel that heat,

Right,

Are any of you Reiki people,

Well you feel that when you're putting your hands over someone,

You feel that heat literally over their body,

And if you are someone who can take light and use how to send it,

You will experience that same thing you just experienced,

Melanie,

You will experience that tingling,

Now here's an interesting thing,

I learned a while ago,

People receive signs of what you're getting,

Some people get fingers and get that way,

But I feel a tingling,

So I can actually tell if someone is sending me energy or prayer,

Because I feel a tingling,

So if I feel a tingling,

It makes me stop and go,

Okay,

I'm going to pause,

Ah,

And I send it back,

You know,

I don't and haven't yet been able to figure out where it's coming from,

But maybe some of you can,

Right,

Maybe some of you get this energy from a prayer,

Or a healing from someone,

Or a thought from someone,

And we each receive it in different ways,

But Melanie,

Yes,

Receptivity is so,

So key,

And I want to thank Insight Timer again,

Thank you,

And I want to thank all the people who make donations,

It's been,

It's been an amazing process,

I,

Over the last couple weeks on Sunday,

There's been some different people here than Saturday,

We really have been sharing a lot of wonderful donations and gifts,

Which I've been able to share to so many people in need right now,

But I found an interesting thing out by so many people wanting to help right now,

Is that this is important for people,

Have you ever found this,

I've never been in a situation like this,

Where we had so many people die,

And so many people lose things,

And so many people lose their house,

Friends,

Loved ones,

It's affected everyone here,

But people need to feel like they're giving sometimes.

Now,

I like to give more than I even like to receive sometimes,

We all are either givers,

Receivers,

You know,

To different degrees,

But I found out that people feel better sometimes,

Because they need to feel like they're doing something,

When they see all this tragedy and pain,

And I have to say,

People are amazing in what they've been giving,

You know,

So I want to thank all of you,

Because I know some of you have,

I write every day,

So,

And I did this from my book,

15 years ago,

I did Put a Little Light in Your Life,

And I wanted to read a poem,

I have a kind of a lesson on the right side,

And a poem on the left side in this book,

So this is one of the poems I wrote,

Let the voice of your soul sing,

So together,

Let's think for a second,

Do you know your soul's voice?

Now,

I have a lot of courses here on Inside Timer,

And one of my courses,

I just saw a question from a person,

It said,

What is the soul?

And I'm going,

Oh gosh,

I didn't even think of explaining that,

Because,

You know,

I've been doing this a long time,

It's like,

What is the soul?

Do you know what your soul is?

Do you understand your soul?

Number one,

Your soul is with you,

Lifetime after lifetime after lifetime,

Your soul is that spirit,

Individualized,

And it's with you before your birth,

It's with you after your death,

And if you're quiet in meditation,

How many of you have experienced your soul?

If you've experienced your soul,

It's that inner,

Oh good,

We got some hearts there,

I guess that's your soul flying up there in hearts,

Right?

Yes,

Scary,

Thank you,

Your soul is your inner voice,

It's your inner spirit,

It's your inner beingness,

That in meditation,

See all these souls flying,

My gosh,

They're flying up as love,

Your soul is always there for you,

Your soul is present in the presence,

Right?

So your soul is really,

Gosh,

I think of it as my best friend,

Because it's there,

And it's helping me get through what I'm going through in life,

So if you're ever having challenges,

Go back and take some time and go into that heart,

That heartfelt soul,

Where you can smile from your soul,

That wonderful energy field,

So I go on,

Back,

Let the voice of your soul sing with the song of sweet,

Sweet love,

Let the call of the angels bring you peace,

Be an instrument that plays from this joy and relieves all suffering,

For when you hear the music of light,

The universe sings its secrets to your soul,

So listen close,

And listen clear,

And hear that sacred song,

Listen with an open mind,

Listen with an open flying heart,

And all the world then can sing along,

It's a song of love that heals,

And a love that brings an answer to our prayers,

This life is a course to our greatest dream,

A way to bridge now with eternity,

Eternity,

So listen close,

And listen clear,

And let your heart hear the voice of your soul singing to you with the sweet,

Sweet song of love,

Now I have found by writing every day,

As I do after I meditate,

And been doing for all these years,

I've found that this,

And this can be used in many ways by you,

That this bridges,

Okay,

When you're in meditation,

You're in a space,

And maybe you're connecting with your soul,

And when you bring back,

Like I do,

I write after I meditate,

It kind of helps bridge what is from my soul to me,

And I have received a lot of instruction,

I've received a lot of information,

And things I needed to hear,

That I might not have remembered,

But I wrote it down,

Now this book was 15 years ago,

So when I go back and look at it,

It's like,

Wow,

I didn't remember that one,

Right,

But it's a beautiful way to do spiritual journaling,

And with the gift of that,

I've done 14 albums now,

Some spoken words,

Some songs,

And I've done eight books,

So I'm just saying that if you can think about doing that,

You might find really some amazing messages that come to you,

And an interesting thing is,

Sometimes I don't remember a clear message,

Right,

You've ever had that,

You're going on,

Nothing,

Nothing there,

But then I start,

When I'm not thinking about it,

And then I just start,

Then it comes,

And then another line comes,

And then something else comes,

And you know,

Then all of a sudden,

There's something there,

So who was it,

Natalie Goldberg,

You ever read,

Writing Down the Bones,

You ever,

You know,

You just write,

Right,

You don't necessarily think about it,

But if you know,

I'm just going to write,

Stuff comes,

So you might want to try that,

I found it very,

Very,

Very powerful,

Really,

It's just amazing,

This is another one,

And then I'll have to close,

Because I guess I'm almost out of time,

Can you see the light behind the light,

Or what is that light behind the light,

What is that light,

For a moment,

Really,

What is that light behind the light,

What's the light in the eyes,

Right,

They say the eyes are the doorway to the soul,

Right,

What's the light behind that light,

Of the I am that I am,

Let this light fill you,

And heal you,

Bring you into a whole reality,

That is here with you right now,

Just waiting to be recognized,

Oh,

It's nice to write about dreams,

Oh yeah,

Thank you,

Yeah,

I've had some,

Oh,

I've had some amazing dreams in last week,

You know,

And there's a lot of people praying,

And there have been,

Yesterday,

Friday,

The island actually called for a day of spiritual prayer and reflection,

And there were people all around the island chanting and praying,

I went up to EO,

And I sat down,

And I did chants and prayers,

Now some of you may think of chanting like in Hindu chanting,

It's different in a way,

We have a different kind of chanting that calls on the ancestors,

But yes,

Yes,

Yes,

Chanting and praying was powerful,

So I felt this energy field all around,

It wasn't just Maui,

It was all of the islands made a point of gathering at sunrise,

Noon,

And sunset,

And there were prayers said throughout the entire island,

And I just felt that energy so strong,

It was amazing,

Beautiful poem,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Clear messages coming to me from nature,

Well,

Thank you,

That's another thing that I'm going to do every day,

I go out in nature,

Nature is a beautiful force,

And oh my gosh,

Please,

When you go out in nature,

Please send it energy,

Please send it healing,

We are seeing nature,

Mother nature has been abused,

It's been used,

And it needs our energy to be balanced,

Restored,

And healed,

Because my gosh,

Friends,

This earth is so in need of healing right now,

If we,

If you ever even just listen to the news,

You will be hearing about mother earth calling,

And it's gone from calling to kind of screaming,

You know,

And still sometimes people aren't hearing,

It's like,

Wow,

Don't you feel this need of mother earth right now,

It needs healing,

Let's just take a moment,

I won't read the rest of this,

I want to do,

I do one every day that I do,

And I have been doing this for,

I don't know,

20 years,

This one I wrote with a Native American friend of mine,

She was a Native American and Native Hawaiian teacher,

We wrote this together,

O great spirit,

We send our light and love for the healing of planet earth,

And to the existence of all the divine forces,

The plants,

The animals,

The mineral kingdoms,

And to all beings,

Incarnate and disincarnate,

To balance and restore and heal the polarities,

Rhythms,

And cycles of natural forces,

So God's plan may be fulfilled for the highest good of all,

With much love and aloha from mother Maui,

And to all the ohana,

A mama a mama ua noa,

The prayer is freed,

A mama a mama ua noa is,

Means the prayer is freed,

And I love that in Hawaiian,

That they know that and do that,

Right,

Because you know what,

We can pray,

But if we don't believe that that prayer was heard,

We're holding on to it,

And it means you don't believe,

But when you say a mama a mama ua noa,

You're freeing the prayer,

You're letting the prayer fly free,

And you're trusting that prayer is being heard,

And I'm over time right now,

So I'm going to just thank you all so much,

Thank you Carrie,

Thank you Elle,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Amen,

Amen,

Aloha,

Fly away,

Thank you Melanie,

Thank you Melanie,

Thank you,

I think there was someone else here,

And thank you Rosie and Carolina,

There weren't near as many people here today as we had,

We had 80 last Sunday,

And then we had 104 last week,

But you know what,

It's not the amount of people,

And it's not even the amount of donations,

You know,

It really is the power of the energy,

It's the power of the love that you have,

It's the power of what you're doing,

That is limitless,

Right,

You're getting this energy,

And sending that energy,

And sharing this heartfelt love in your soul,

That's beyond the number that you put on something,

Right,

And I know this,

You know,

I really do,

And it's so important,

And I really love you all for being here,

I'm going to end today as I usually do with the Aramaic Lord's Prayer,

Father,

Mother of the Cosmos,

The Aramaic Father,

Mother was the original way it was said,

Amama,

You know,

It was,

So Avum,

In Aramaic is Avum,

Which means Father,

Mother,

Avum Dei Voshmayim,

Shimmering Light of All,

Okay,

We've been talking about light,

This is the shimmering light of all,

The shimmering light of all,

Focus your light within us as we breathe your holy breath,

Just to breathe that holy breath,

Enter the sanctuary of our hearts,

Uniting us with the sacred rays of your power and beauty,

Let your heart's desire unite heaven and earth through our sacred union,

Isn't that beautiful,

Let's just for a moment,

Unite heaven and earth through our sacred union,

Help us fulfill what lies within the circle of our days,

And sometimes we need a lot of help just to fulfill what lies within the circle of our days,

We sometimes make life pretty challenging,

Forgive our secret fears,

Okay,

Forgive our secret fears as we forgive the secret fears of others,

Have you ever kind of got into that judging,

It's like why,

I was so lost in some of these people that were doing lies,

Conspiracy theories,

Bots coming in,

I was getting upset because people were saying things here that weren't true about what was happening,

They were saying the aliens started the fire in Lahaina and they didn't,

The aliens don't do that,

The aliens didn't start the fire in Lahaina,

I was getting myself upset and then I went,

Oh my gosh,

That's what these people who want to divide do,

Part of the spreading of the lies that some of these other forces do,

Which aren't necessarily positive forces,

They get us upset on top of it,

So then I had to forgive and it was not easy,

To forgive our secret fears as we freely choose to forgive the secret fears of others,

Let us not enter forgetfulness,

Let us not enter forgetfulness,

What is forgetfulness,

Okay,

We're feeling good,

We're feeling energy,

We feel love,

I'm feeling love from you and then we go out and something happened,

It's like,

Right,

Let us not enter,

That's forgetfulness,

Tempted by false appearances because the real appearance,

The real appearance is light and love,

Just taking these different forms and different shapes and these different illusions of mass,

So let us not enter forgetfulness,

Tempted by false appearances,

For from your astonishing fire comes the eternal song,

Which sanctifies all,

Renewed eternally in our lives and throughout creation,

We seal these words in our hearts,

Committed in trust and faith,

Now,

You know,

I love music and that eternal song is something that's so beautiful,

So let's stay in that light of the beautiful light and love and the eternal song,

Which each of you have in your hearts,

In your soul,

In your energy field and together,

As we all kind of bring in that light and that love and use it and share it,

You truly make a difference in the world,

You really,

Truly do,

So I really,

I bow in deep gratitude to each and every one of you,

I thank you for your presence here,

I thank you for all the hearts,

I thank you for all the love and the donations that you made,

It's really greatly appreciated and I'll try to be back next Sunday,

I think I'll be back next Sunday,

So it won't be Saturday,

But you can join me,

I have all kinds of courses and I think four or five courses on Insight Timer and I have literally hundreds of talks there too,

So you can go there as well,

So God bless you all,

Really,

All of these little lovely
