Because of the concepts I associate with the word LIGHT, it is one of my all-time favorite words, especially when it is used in the context of spirituality. It automatically lifts my spirit and makes me feel bright and positive!
Light in the spiritual sense is usually referred to as your Divine Light - the essence of your being-ness - the U of YOU, who you REALLY are as seen through the eyes of the Divine. Most of us have seen movies where The Light is depicted as the Ultimate Source, frequently calling its beloved towards Home, the source of all creation.
The stars twinkle and light up the night sky, the sun illuminates the planet and we all tend to feel better on bright days rather than cloudy ones - such is the power of Light.
A lighthouse sends its beacon out to sea so ships are kept safe and landing lights on a dark runway guide the big metal birds back down safely to the ground.
So it is with the Light of our Divinity. Ever shining, always present, always available to show us the way.
Light helps LOVE to grow, brings glorious color to your IMAGINATION and GUIDES you safely on your Journey. Light brings HOPE to a situation that seems unresolvable.
Most of all Light dispels darkness just as TRUTH is the only real pathway to freedom. When we live in the darkness of lies and denial, our true Divine Spirits are “locked up” and cannot serve us the way they are intended.
I believe we are created as Beings of Light - to be joyful, to dance, to fly, to laugh, to be grateful, to play and to love!
An Experiment
Here’s an experiment you can try right now. It will only take a minute or two.
Just for a moment, close your eyes and and take a couple of deep breaths. Imagine the dark places within your physical body and if you’re up for it, perhaps even the dark spaces in your spiritual body. The secret places you don’t normally like to think about. The ones that perhaps remind you of a sad or fearful time. We aren’t staying here - we just want to identify those places so that in a moment we can help to restore them to their natural state of wholeness.
Now, picture a gentle, shining, warming, soothing, calming shower of Light trickling down around you like a gentle rain - but it doesn’t make you wet - it makes you sparkle and glow!
Now picture a beam of beautiful golden pink light entering your body through the top of your head - ever so gently - it’s a magical light - and now it is filling your mind with the most scrumptious delicious thoughts of all of your favorite things, trickling down through you and turning your lips upward, stretching your cheeks until you find yourself grinning from ear to ear.
The light continues its travels and opens your throat area so that you can speak works of love and praise and gratitude more easily and allow deep hearty laughter to float up and through you!
Now the light flows into your heart - like a magic eraser rubbing away old hurts, the clogged places, unlocking doors that you slammed shut perhaps in a moment of fear.
The Light continues down through your stomach area, soothing away any tension, clearing and gently cleansing as it continues through your lower abdominal area - just feeling the gentle warmth of the spring sunshine from the inside out . . . .
And now the Light moves through to the base of your spine and into the hidden cracks and crevices between the cells releasing more stored hurts and fear from times you can no longer consciously remember.
And then the Light continues down into Mother Earth to merge with the earth energies of strength and groundedness and brings these foundational energies up to the surface as the Light travels back through the base of your spine bringing strength and security, up through your lower abdomen bringing a feeling of comfortability, up through your stomach area relaxing and soothing all the muscles so they are ready to properly assimilate the events of your day.
And the Light travels into your heart, filling it with a sense of gladness, of joy, of warmth and tenderness so much so that you can almost feel yourself being hugged and then it continues up through your throat allowing you to speak words of love and kindness to someone who really needs to hear that today.
And the Light continues upward through your forehead as it shines out through your eyes which can now see more clearly than they ever have before and then it continues up through the crown of your head once again reconnecting you with Divine Source . . .
The All That You Are And Always Will Be.
Go in peace now Child of Light.
Stand tall and strong.
You ARE the Light.
Namaste!
