The Divine Light Within

Patanjali says that one of the ways you can achieve inner peace and calmness is by tapping into the divine light inside your heart. You can imagine it as a glowing orb or as a healing, glowing lotus flower. Once you know that you always have this light within you, then you will see it emanate outwardly from you and shape your experiences as well as your thoughts and feelings. For me, when I meditate on this idea and then slowly detach from it and move on with my day, always remembering though that I am filled with light wherever I go and whatever I do, it makes everything so much happier, filling myself up with joy and yes, peace. If, in every situation we are always in control of our perception, thoughts, feelings, and ideas, then why not hold onto something that will really help us? By imagining that we have the divine light within us, we share it with others and our experiences reflect back to us what we believe our power to be. I fwe believe our power is a beautiful, healing light shining from inside our hearts directly to others around us and into their hearts, then that is what will happen. We hold the power to create a beautiful life with beautiful energy surrounding us, and I think that Patanjali is definitely onto something when he tells us to concentrate on the supreme ever-blissful light within. If we can imagine and believe that a brilliant bright light represents our true consciousness, then our mind and soul will be protected and made to be immensely positive and healing. It will influence us and our experiences so deeply, healing us and making our experiences so amazing from now on that there is no need to worry.
