I’ve always felt that I have very little capacity for visualization of any kind.\u00c2\u00a0 So I start a practice that invites me to visualize not just one but an expanding\u00c2\u00a0bubble of lights with a dim conviction that this exercise can only expose my limitations.\u00c2\u00a0 Then this morning I relaxed this conviction a bit and felt it would be OK to accept whatever experience showed up.\u00c2\u00a0 It felt pleasant.\u00c2\u00a0 A kind of warmth and illumination appeared\u00c2\u00a0which\u00c2\u00a0easily expanded into five.\u00c2\u00a0 Behind, above and below, followed easily.\u00c2\u00a0 While this was happening, it occurred to me that a lighter heart, less intimidated by the idea that I need to do something I can’t do, naturally feels at home with warmth and clarity and brightness.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I didn’t experience anything dramatic, but it gives me a hint that there are\u00c2\u00a0windows in this dark room and nothing\u00c2\u00a0prevents me from\u00c2\u00a0throwing open the\u00c2\u00a0curtains.\u00c2\u00a0 Or perhaps there are no curtains and everything is already bathed in light?<\/p>\n
