I really enjoyed this. Initially I was a bit confused when a "ball" (which is round) of white light is mentioned, bit then hearing it's in the form of an egg (which is not exactly round), but since every moment from then on is referencing the egg, I chose to interpret it as the ball of energy actively changing shape and turning into the shape of an egg. No worries after that. π
I've been using a version of this practice myself for decades. The egg is one of two shapes I use - the more all-encompassing and robust one - and a sparkling White-Gold tube that looks very much like the transporter effect in the original Star Trek tv show is the other. It can whisk me away from danger at a moment's notice.
The way this practice was described was great for kids (I used to be an assistant childcare teacher and did my own meditations with my own child at home), and resonated well with adult sensibilities too. I think it could also be helpful for use in the disability community, as well. I've worked for almost 20 years in that field, and in certain conditions, comprehension of external events can be less developed than that of an average peer's. This simple explanation, which does NOT (thank goodness) include language or tone suggestive of superiority or authoritarianism as many practices for the younger set do, is a welcome change and I suspect readily adaptable for those with comprehension/cognitive challenges, those living with paralyzing anxiety and/or fear, and many other conditions, across all age groups. For that most especially, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I myself am a chronic pain patient with multiple disabling conditions, and this particular demographic is often either ignored or infantalized. This lovely meditation practice does neither of those. It is, perhaps, almost universally helpful. (Add in some texture and sensory details/cues for the visually impaired and that should cover almost all remaining bases.)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us here in the Insight Timer community. I see you and the light within you. Be well. π€²π»β€οΈπ€²π»
