Adapted from Meditation In a New York Minute, by Mark Thornton (Sounds True, 2006).

Reduce stress, feel calm, and experience well-being using the White Light meditation from the Buddhist tradition. In this meditation you will feel your heart filling with light and calmness.

This accessible meditation can be done as easily sitting on a subway or in a formal meditation room.

White Light Technique

Sit in a quiet location and breathe from your belly.

Imagine a white light in the center of your heart. The light represents healing, calm, purity and universal love.

Gradually imagine the light becoming more radiant, more brilliant, and more vibrant. Feel blessed by the light.

Gently imagine the light gradually expanding to fill your whole heart, then your body.

Now imagine your body is filled to overflowing with white light, so much so that the light radiates from you and into the room.

Imagine the room being filled with light that then pours out into the world.

Spend 10 minutes doing this.

Tip: Imagine you are watching a film with the image of your body on the screen, and your heart is slowly filling with light. Step into the image on the screen and feel the light filling your heart.

Randy, could you explain a little more about what you mean by the word "influence?" Do you mean to bring white light in for them? Or do some control mechanism? (I hope the former!) Thanks, Annie

Randy Jonas

Indeed, the "wihte Light" is a very powerful tool. You can not only to better things for your own (as described above. The back site of the coin is, that you even could influence people in your surrounding.
Therefor you have to imagine a blanck black area filling out your mind. Then concentrage on mainly blue colors which are changing permanenty until you see a small white color build itself on that dark area. Concentrate on in and ant the same time concentrate on the person you have in mind to influence. You will have to exercise this ability since it needs a very strong mental power to reach your goal. But in the end you will.
I'm not just talking by theory but just opened let you have a little glimpse in my very jewel case, normally not to be opened for others. So it's just an rare exception for your on care2. The white light definitely does help you.
