The
technique on meditating on a flame of a lamp is simple and easy for beginners.
It enables one to let go off thoughts when concentrating on the flame. Flame is
fire and fire is the third element of the panchabhoothas. It lights up the
inner soul and lead to the path of deep meditation between self and the
universe. I prefer gingelly oil with wick in lamps. Lamp/light/flame meditation
helps to increase the bio magnetic energy in the body. Meditating on a flame
warms up and enhances the wellness. This meditation is to be done before
sunrise. Select a quiet place at home. Light the wick and assure a bright and
steady flame. Sit about three feet away from the flame in a cross legged
posture with spine straight. Place your hands on your lap with right palm on your
left palm touching the tips of the thumbs together. Close your eyes. Take three
deep breaths. Feel relaxed.
Chant the mantra ‘Asatoma Satgamaya, Tama soma
Jyothirgamaya, Mrithyoma Amritham gamaya, Om Shanti! Shanti!! Shanti!!! Open
your eyes and gaze the flame for one or two minute. Close your eyes and imagine
the flame of the light in your mind. Open your eyes, meditate on the flame for
a longer time. Close your eyes bring the
light of the flame into your heart illuminating the path of the life centres.
Open your eyes and meditate on the flame for a little longer time. Close your
eyes and imagine the brightness of the flame has spread your whole body, mind
and soul removing the falsehood within, removing the darkness within and the
bondages within. Now experience the lightness in your body and mind. Feel your
body, mind and soul are illuminated with pure white light glowing and
energising the sense organs. A total of 15 to 30 is worth for flame meditation.
Feel yourself purified by the rays of light and experience oneness of self and
higher self. Pay gratitude to the ‘Supreme Power’ and conclude by chanting Om Shanti! Shanti!! Shanti!!!
