White Light Healing Meditation

This is a simple guided meditation to facilitate a goal of healing. We explore breath and imagery in detail. Please remember when using imagery in meditation it is important to trust your own spontaneously arising image.

The White Light Healing Meditation.

I invite you to find a comfortable position for this guided meditation with a warm snuggly blanket.

Bring yourself into the present moment by deliberately adopting an open and upright posture if you're sitting or standing or if you're lying on your back like balanced and symmetrical with an open posture.

Gently close or lower the eyes and let's start with three conscious delicious deep belly breaths.

Breathing in and out through the nose if you can.

And as you continue on allow these slower longer breaths to help calm and settle your mind and relax your body.

Gently draw your shoulder blades in and down your spine.

Relax through the shoulders,

Open your heart.

Allow your tongue to rest gently behind your top front teeth.

Mouth closed,

Jaw soft.

Relaxing,

Awake and alert.

And I invite you to let your breath settle.

Just let your breath breathe you now.

And please remember when using imagery in meditation it's important to trust your own spontaneously arising image.

I'm going to make some specific suggestions during this practice and you can follow them in detail or you can just let them sit gently in the background.

Remember this is your time and you can use this time however you wish.

And the goal is healing.

Any kind of healing you would like in your life and I invite you to think big about this healing.

Perhaps even open to the possibility of ultimate healing.

We're going to use the image of light as a symbol of healing,

As a way of accessing and opening to universal sources of healing.

And I invite you now to bring your attention to the space in front of your closed eyes.

It's like a field of darkness and perhaps there's some muted shapes or colors there but we're not looking for anything we're just simply resting our attention in this space with relaxed eyes and a soft gaze.

And I invite you now to begin to notice sounds,

Sounds coming to you from outside.

Just listening.

Allow the sounds to come and go without resistance.

Begin to draw your attention to sounds coming from inside.

Perhaps even from inside your body,

Your breath,

Digestion,

Heartbeat.

Just listening.

Allow the sounds to help call you into the present moment.

And I invite you to draw your attention further to your breath.

Notice any sensations associated with your breath.

Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest and your belly.

Expanding as you breathe in and gently deflating as you breathe out.

Feel the flow of air passing by your nostrils.

Cool air as you breathe in and warm air as you breathe out.

Allow your breath to help anchor you into the present.

Into this present moment.

Just your natural breath.

And allow your body to release into that gentle ceaseless pull of gravity with each out breath.

Releasing and relaxing.

Just effortlessly releasing and relaxing all through the body with each out breath.

Letting go that little bit more with each exhalation.

Softening and relaxing all through the body.

And for this healing meditation,

I invite you to begin to imagine in the sky above you an image or a sense of presence of some powerful entity or being or symbol there up in the sky above you.

That for you represents something extraordinary,

Luminous and beyond.

Something that will allow you to enter into the possibility of universal healing.

And for some people,

It might be the image of an old man with a beard,

Or perhaps Christ or Mary or a saint or perhaps a Buddha or some other holy being.

Or perhaps for you,

It might be something more abstract like a sphere of sparkling pulsing light or a star of light or a tree or perhaps something else from nature.

Perhaps a mandala.

It doesn't have to be anything specific,

But a sense that there above you in the sky is a symbol representing a source of healing,

A gathering together of universal sources of healing energy and light.

And remember how the great masters and mystics have taught us down through the centuries that this healing light is always there and is ceaselessly available.

And I invite you with this practice to begin to access this healing light.

And at the same time,

Be conscious of your breathing of your chest and your belly rising and falling quite effortlessly.

Imagine from the centre of this light,

This presence,

This being or this entity above you,

That powerful rays of healing light come pouring down towards you.

Powerful rays of healing light,

And you might find it helpful to imagine it as white light.

But any colour that feels appropriate for you is suitable.

So imagine this powerful light streaming down towards you,

Almost like a floodlight has been switched on.

And it's a source of purification and healing streaming down towards you flooding your body with purification and healing.

This powerful source gathered above you has gathered power from limitless universal omniscient sources.

And as you breathe in,

Draw this powerful light into your body.

With each breath,

Draw it into your body.

Powerful,

Powerful rays of light flowing through your body.

And you might like to begin to imagine as the light enters your chest,

Entering the trunk of your body,

That it has the power to transform your disease or your confusion,

All of your depletion,

Tiredness,

Exhaustion into a smoky grey substance.

And this smoky grey substance,

You can release from your body with each out breath.

Imagine this grey smoky substance flowing out from your nostrils as you exhale,

Allowing all your disease and your depletion,

Confusion to float up out of the room,

Up into the atmosphere,

And out into space completely gone.

And with the next breath and the next breath,

Continue to draw in more and more of that powerful white light effortlessly.

Now,

You don't have to force it to make it happen.

And I invite you to really open up to receive this gift of healing,

This powerful white light,

Each breath,

Pouring light down into your body more and more as you inhale.

And as you exhale,

Release all into that smoky grey substance,

All of your disease,

Confusion,

Depletion,

And ignorance.

And as you continue to breathe,

Imagine that powerful white light beginning to flow through your whole body now,

Gently flowing.

You might even feel it like a fluid liquid tingling sensation as it flows out through your whole body more and more cleansing your body,

Flowing down into your abdomen,

Down into your hips,

Sexual organs,

Buttocks,

Flowing more and more with each breath down your thighs,

Your knees,

Right down your legs through the calves,

Flowing into your ankles,

Your feet.

You might feel it flushing depletion and disease out through the soles of your feet and out through the openings of your body.

Continue to cycle with this breath,

Filling your body with the light of purification and healing as you breathe in.

And with each out breath,

Continue to allow any depletion and confusion to flow out of your body,

Your whole body filling with this powerful white light.

And this time I invite you to visualize it flowing up from the belly up through your torso,

Your upper chest,

Shoulders,

Flowing into the neck and into the head.

More and more down your shoulders across the shoulders and arms.

You may feel it tumbling and billowing out through your body,

Right down through the elbows,

Forearms,

Right down your wrists and your hands,

All the way down and out through your fingertips one by one.

Your whole body feeling,

Filling with that powerful light of healing.

And I invite you now to take some time to feel your body completely filled with this healing light,

Filled with purification.

And there's no place left in your body without this powerful light.

Breathing out any last remnants of depletion,

Exhaustion and disease.

And breathe it out with the force and power of this healing light coming as it is from this universal transcendental source.

And as you continue to breathe,

Drawing more and more the whole body from the crown of your head down to the tips of your toes and fingers,

Your whole body completely filled with this powerful light of purification and healing.

You may even have a sense now of your body being filled with luminosity,

Completely open to the unimpeded flow of healing and cleansing energy.

All through your body,

Every vessel in your body,

Every bone in your body,

Every cell in your body,

Saturated with this powerful light.

Your whole body completely purified,

Completely healed,

Completely renewed.

And I invite you to take a few precious minutes to allow this flow of light and experience your body completely well and healed with your mind calm,

Spacious and relaxed.

Flowing with it this powerful white light.

Allow it to fold around your body as well.

So you're gently held in a sphere of sparkling healing light.

Continuing to breathe with it more and more and experience this as a taste of your true nature.

A being of light healed and completely well.

Feel it all through the body.

Flowing with it,

Flowing with it.

Completely healed,

Completely well.

Flowing with this healing powerful light.

And because this light is coming from a universal omniscient source,

You might like to extend the range of this practice to bring other people into your healing meditation.

Remember that what makes us special to all other living beings is our capacity to help each other,

Our capacity to be of benefit.

So I invite you to bring to mind a friend or a family member,

A neighbor,

Or perhaps someone you've seen on TV or in the paper,

Or maybe a work colleague,

Someone you know,

Who right now is in need of some form of healing in their life.

Perhaps somebody you know,

Who has a sadness or grief,

Perhaps there's an illness or disease in their life.

Just let that person's image come to mind and imagine them and where they might be right now.

And because this healing light comes from a limitless source,

Imagine it flowing right through you.

And with the power of your loving intention,

Imagine the light flowing through you from your heart to the heart of this person or group of people.

And imagine it in folding them,

Holding them,

Filling them with this powerful light of healing and purification.

Filling them with this light and sending your wish for their well being,

That all their fears and sorrows might fall away.

But they find the healing they seek.

And as you do this,

Know that it does not deplete you in any way.

Allow yourself to be a conduit for this light to flow on to these people you hold in your mind's eye.

Allow them to be held in this healing,

Powerful light completely filled and held by this light.

And you may even like to imagine a look of surprise and complete delight on their face as they receive and are filled with this light of healing and purification.

And when you're ready,

Just let that image go and you might like to then let another person come into your mind's eye.

Once again,

Remembering that we cannot heal in a vacuum.

Our healing is always inextricably linked with the healing of others.

And perhaps let someone else come into your mind's eye once again,

Allow that light that is filling your mind and body to flow from you to this other person.

And it's flowing to you from this powerful source from above in the sky,

Flowing to your heart,

Then from your heart to the heart of this other person,

Wherever they might be,

Filling them with light of healing and purification.

Once again,

Seeing them with a burden lifted and shifted,

Wrapping them in that powerful white light,

Sending them healing wishes of may you be well and happy.

May you find the healing that you seek.

And I invite you now to join your wish for healing your healing journey with that sense of joining with the healing of the world.

Imagine great powerful waves of that healing light now flowing out from your heart out from your body,

This powerful light of healing and purification flowing through you from that limitless source from above and out into the world,

Out into the surrounding buildings,

Businesses,

Schools,

The factories,

The farms,

The parks,

The valleys,

The oceans,

Great waves of this powerful light flowing out around the world.

And wherever that light flows,

Imagine it bringing healing wherever it goes,

Bringing peace wherever there might be war,

Bringing food where there might be famine,

Bringing rain where there might be drought,

Love where there is hatred,

All around the world,

This powerful white light of purification and healing.

So all beings can share in its good effects.

And as we come towards the end of this white light healing meditation,

You might like to finish with this dedication.

May my healing journey,

May my healing aspiration,

May my meditation practice be a force that brings healing into the world.

And I invite you to gently let go of the image of the source of light about above now and imagine the light in your body dissolving into a ball of light,

Which gently floats down to rest at your heart with your whole body completely well,

Completely purified.

And we can continue with our dedication together.

May all beings find the healing that they seek.

May all beings dwell in the open heart.

May all beings be free of unnecessary suffering and grief.

And may all beings come to know the deepest peace and their greatest joy.

And as we come towards the end of this white light healing meditation,

You might like to gently reactivate the fingers,

Reactivate your toes,

A little wiggle of each,

Perhaps a deeper breath or two,

You might like to give yourself a warm hug.

And then when you're ready,

You can go on your way.

Thank you.
