Light Meditation - Lighting The World Together

When the world feels uncertain or heavy, take a moment to ground and come back to yourself. This peaceful meditation invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner light. Accompanied by soothing chimes, you’ll imagine lighting a torch and passing that light along, watching it ripple outward across the world. A mindful space to remember that you matter, your energy touches others, and small loving actions make a real difference.

Played with the following chimes: Zaphir Sufi (the 5th season) and Koshi Ignis (fire).
Recorded during my Insight Timer live session on January 31st 2026.

Observe how your breath flows in and out of your body. Observing how you are breathing, Are you breathing slowly or quickly? If you notice you're breathing a little quickly, You can place your hands on your belly and breathe towards your hands, Helping you to slow down your breathing, Helping you to relax more and sink deeper into your body, Into the relaxation.
