Summary of the Practices
1. Inner preparation
we turn within to that in us which is ever-present, ever illumined. [About one minute]
More on the preparation for meditation
2. Breathing practice
Breathe slowly and consciously.
As you breathe in, imagine the breath is being drawn up as if from the region of the navel to the point between the eyebrows.
With each breath say, silently to yourself, the word ‘light’. [Four minutes]
3. Visualisation
Picture in your mind a sunrise. See the sun appearing on the horizon, moving slowly upwards. See the whole scene gradually brighten, until the sun becomes a mass of radiant splendour. [Five minutes]
4. Meditation on a text
Like the rising sun, I shed the light of peace.
Eternal truth am I. Bliss am I.
Repeat the text to yourself a few times until you have the main idea in focus, then try to keep your attention on that.
If the mind wanders off, when you become aware of this, calmly go back to the text and its meaning.
Absorb your attention in the great truth expressed in the text.
[Six minutes.]

5. Closing offering
