Sometimes we’re doing okay at life, but certain subjects feel quite dark or troublesome.
In a vast field of lush calm and joy, there could be a few spots of barren soil.
What to do with those icky spots?
Do they bring your mood down when you feel good? Do you try not to think about them, but is it sometimes unavoidable?
Come with me in the practice of “bathing in light”.
This is for those sticky spots where you need some extra help.
I want you to imagine the thing or person that’s bothering you. Focus more on the “situation”, rather than specifics.
Meaning, how you generally feel when you think about the situation.
Notice if how you’re feeling or what you’re thinking has a color. Does it feel close or far away? If you associated the situation with a shape, which shape would you choose?
Circle, triangle, square? Or another?
I want you to assign the situation a color, a shape, and relative distance from where you are.
This is not a physical distance, it’s in your mind. So it’s how close or far away it feels.
Good!
Do you have those three things?
In your mind, imagine your situation and call it what it is. For example: gray, blocky triangle, medium closeness.
The words don’t matter that much, it just matters that you know what you mean.
You’ll notice the situation now has borders. A vague outer limit to how far it stretches. You can see where it “lives” and that it is contained by your identification of it.
Call to you Divine Light. You can say God’s Light, Divine Light, whatever you choose. Whatever feels good. Name any gods or messengers that feel good to you.
You are calling upon their light specifically, so make sure you include the word “light”.
Also bring in the Sun. Imagine a giant ball of light, like the sun, in very close contact with your “situation”.
For example, my gray triangle would be in my mind’s eye, and the sun would be right above it.
I would imagine that giant sun to be 2 to 3 times as large as the triangle. It vibrates and moves further and closer to the triangle. It seeps into the triangle, blasting it with light.
The light from the sun is seeping into the triangle on all sides, as well as underneath the triangle.
Divine Light is also there, it’s moving inside the triangle. It’s lighting it up from the inside out.
Spend some time, steady, using this light bathing. Easy and steady. If the situation begins to feel stronger than the light, enlarge the sun.
Call again, say, “Divine Light, Divine Light, Divine Light.”
Or I prefer, “God’s Light, God’s Light, God’s Light.” (I use that term when I feel like I need a higher level of assistance.)
You can even say things like, “Light come illuminate this, help me to bring this to a higher vibration. Help me to stay in God’s Light in this situation.”
“I allow beautiful, divine, white light to seep and spill and permeate this whole situation. I am a willing participant to the light. I don’t give space to the dark.”
This is all easy and steady. It’s not performative, it’s not over the top. It’s easy, it’s steady. If you’re emotions are running too high, back up. Take a breath. Come back to this another time.
Try doing this when you are in contact with the situation, or it’s nearby, or you randomly start to think about it. You can do it quickly or spend a few minutes doing this light bathing.
Ideally, this wouldn’t take more than about 5-10 minutes max.
It’s better to spend 2-3 minutes here and there light bathing. Even a few seconds here and there once you understand the practice.
The point is, of course, keeping it light. 😉
Most of the things that bother us, they come across our consciousness many times in a day. A few minutes at a time here and there.
And in those scattered minutes, we reaffirm how we feel about them. Scared or worried or angry.
So here you are, flipping the script. Taking those same few minutes here and there, every day, to raise the vibration around those “troubles”.
Let’s add a bit of truth here, what is really changing?
Is it the person? The thing or experience that’s a “problem”?
What is in the dark? Is it the problem itself or…something else?
I’ll whisper to you the answer.
(It’s your thoughts about it.)
When you interact with the problem, you lower your vibration. You allow things like fear or anger to come forward.
It becomes a practice. If you dislike Betty, every time Betty walks in you’ll engage your practiced response.
That response includes lowering your vibration to a place of disgust, resentment, and fear.
You lower yourself for a lot of different reasons, but for now, those reasons don’t matter.
You just have to interrupt the practice, interrupt the response. Stop the lowering of your energy that allows the lower vibrations to express.
So really you’re saying to the universe, to God, to Divine Light:
“This situation compels me to lower myself to icky-feeling thoughts. I understand why that’s happened. I extend compassion and understanding to myself. Now, please help me to rise again. Help me to allow what’s correct. What’s correct is the vibration of God’s Light. It encompasses all things. It heals all things. It elevates all things. Let this situation be healed and elevated, by helping me to allow light where I’ve allowed darkness. Thank you so much.”
This is a transformative practice. Meaning, it takes some time. It has to be repeated. You don’t need to worry about the results of the practice or what it will “do” for the situation.
That’s not your business, that would be like telling a tree how to grow.
All you’re doing is allowing light back into a place where darkness temporarily took hold. The light will take care of all things.
Allow your thoughts, words, and actions to be guided by light. Let all things find their place naturally.
This is a transformative practice. Meaning, it might feel strange. You might prefer to feel fear or anger, rather than bathe something in light.
This is okay. This stems from self-protection as well as a practiced response.
Just be easy with yourself, lead with love. Try a little bit at a time. Remind yourself that you are a powerful being.
This is just one path, one practice, of so many. See how it feels.
With <3,
Heba
