The Magical Path. Marc Allen

on your deepest level of being….

      If you’re out at night, you can magnify the experience if you start out somewhere in the darkness and then move into a brightly lit area as you feel the life energy bathing every cell of your body.

      For the longer version of the Middle Pillar Meditation, it’s always good to start with the Three-Breath Entry.

      THREE-BREATH ENTRY

      Sit or lie down comfortably, relax….

      Take a deep breath; as you exhale, relax your body….

      Take a second deep breath, and as you exhale, relax your mind, let all thought go….

      Take a third deep breath, and as you exhale, let it all go….

      Sit for a moment and deeply relax….

      Feel your Presence…your Being….

      Bathe in the light of the life energy within every cell of your body….

LONGER MIDDLE PILLAR MEDITATION

      Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, feel a warm, radiant light at the crown of your head; it is the energy of life….

      See it, feel it, vibrant and shining….

      Feel it move down from your crown and fill your entire head — your mind, your third eye — with vibrant light, peaceful and healing….

      Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, relax into this world of light….

      Then feel the light move down again and center in your throat….

      Take a deep breath of air into your throat, and let the warm light within expand and become a quiet, wonderful healing energy….

      Feel the light — it is the warmth of life….

      Let it expand again and move down into the center of your heart….

      Breathe warmth and healing energy into your heart and your lungs….

      Let the radiant light expand, and fill the whole of your being. Let your heart open — open wide — to everyone and everything….

      Let that radiant light move down again and center in your stomach — your hara, your third chakra. It is the center of your power….

      Breathe healing light into your stomach, and into the amazing network of your intestines….

      Let the light heal you and empower you….

      Let the light move down again and center in your second chakra, your sexual organs….

      Feel the whole area bathed in warm, healing light….

      This energy center is the source of your creativity….

      It’s where we literally create new life, so fill it with your healing life energy….

      Feel it move down finally to your root chakra, right where you sit, and fill that energy center with the healing light of life….

      Now let that radiant energy flow down through your legs and out of your feet and into the earth, and into the whole universe….

      Let that light energy come up through your feet and up through the central pillar of your body, up to your crown, where it showers over you and bathes your whole body in light….

      Do this several times, if you wish….

      Imagine your body is a radiant pillar of shining light, connected above with the universe and below with the earth — and beyond, to include everything in this magical creation we call the universe.

      Imagine that every energy center in your body is a shining center of light….

      They all connect with each other and form a pillar of radiant light….

      This light is your essence; this is who you are — light and life.

      This light, this life

      is who and what we are,

      now and forever.

      This light, this life is love.

      Affirm something like this:

      Wherever I am, wherever I go,

      my body is a pillar of light.

Directing the Light Energy

      Once you have energized the pillar of your body, from head to feet, there are all kinds of extraordinary things you can do with this focused energy. You can circulate the energy through your body in different ways, and direct healing energy to any part of your body that needs it. You can direct that energy to others as well, and help them heal. You can use it to attract money, resolve problems, and to help out friends with their difficulties.

      The ways you can use it are endless. You can use it to magically create what you want in life.

      The meditations that follow are suggestions only. Feel free to change them in any ways you wish. (And feel free in general, as well — in life!) I just heard a wise young woman named yvette Soler (that’s not a typo — she spells her first name with a lowercase y) say that her teacher told her to make at least one change in every meditation or practice she gave her; that way, she makes it her own. Do the Middle Pillar Meditation a few times, and you’ll soon be adapting it in all kinds of creative ways.

CIRCULATING ENERGY

      Now that you’re filled with vibrant, healing light energy, you can circulate it through your body in various ways.

      Start with feeling the energy around your feet, radiantly warm….

      Imagine it moving up the front of your body, through all the energy centers of your body, moving up through the pillar of light….

      It reaches your crown, and then moves down the back of your body, filling you with healing light energy….

      Do this as many times as you wish.

      Then imagine the energy gathering at your feet again and moving up the left side of your body (or right side, if that feels better), lighting up all your energy centers once again….

      It reaches your crown and then moves down the other side of your body….

      Circulate this energy a few times throughout your body….

      It is the energy of life itself.

      Now imagine the energy rises from your feet right through the center of your body, up your shining Middle Pillar….

      Every chakra is filled with radiant healing light….

      Now the energy reaches your crown and showers over you, down your body, bathing every cell in the radiant healing light of your life energy….

      By circulating the light of your life force through your body, you have summoned powerful currents of healing energy into your body. This healing energy is always present in you; now you are magnifying it with the power of your imagination, and directing it with the power of your focused thought. You are ready to heal yourself.

HEALING YOURSELF

      Take a deep breath, and relax deeper and deeper as you exhale….

      Take another deep breath, and summon radiant life energy….

      Let that healing light fill every cell of your body….

      Now focus on any part of your body that needs healing, and see it bathed in radiant healing light….

      Fill the whole area with light, warm and gentle, radiantly powerful….
