Eyes are closed for visualization meditation - however, stay alert. Breathe from the belly; deep, relaxed, soft, smooth, slow and even.
Begin with Taoist-style Smiling down practice:
Generate a warm, gentle inner smile and a relaxed outer smile - feeling very comfortable and internally alert, bring this smiling energy into your eyes and then flow this warm, friendly, loving feeling through your whole body, starting with the crown - moving slowly down to the soles of the feet. First guide the smiling energy with thorough awareness down over the surface of your skin, then repeat again, moving deeper into the tissues and muscles. Continue by smiling lovingly into all the internal organs, the endocrine glands and other internal structures, the skeletal bones and finally into the bone marrow itself.
Now, visualize a brilliant light in the sky above you:
• With a radiance like billions of suns all put together, this light radiates with an extraordinary brilliance filling all the Universe realms with it’s rays of white and all the rainbow colors
• See the light as the Light of the Great Spirit
• See the light as one with the Essence of God and Goddess
• See it as the same light as the enlightened essence of all fully liberated beings, particularly those you have a close heart connection with.
• See the light as the unified Heart and Wisdom of all the Buddhas, Taras and Bodisattvas manifest
• See it as no different than the light emanated by the fully liberated Beings of Christ, the Virgin of Guadalupe, Krishna, Kali or Shiva
• You can see this brilliant radiant light as the same as the Source essence of all the great enlightened teachers who have ever existed, and all those compassionate beings who have committed to helping liberate humans and all other living beings
• See this light as the natural, radiant Essence and pristine Source of your human spiritual teachers of this lifetime.
• Lastly, realize this light as identical with your own fundamental Source and deepest true Nature - within you and all other living beings.
You experience this Light radiating out and filling the sky with amazing luminosity - with a powerfully compassionate quality filling all of space. You see many light filaments with the qualities of both light rays and liquid drops or particles coming down - manifesting in all the rainbow colors mixed with white light. The rainbow light rays and liquid particles come down and touch the crown of your head. If you are in a circle of friends doing this meditation, see all of you experiencing the visualization down - manifesting in all the rainbow colors mixed with white light. The rainbow light rays and liquid particles come down and touch the crown of your head. If you are in a circle of friends doing this meditation, see all of you experiencing the visualization together simultaneously as you sit together in the circle. If you are sitting alone in Nature, see all the beings of Nature in your immediate surroundings being touched by this light.
Once you are grounded in doing this Rainbow Light visualization with a circle of friends and with immediate Nature, expand the circle to include all Earth’s living beings. Now the Light pours down and touches the crowns of trees, animals, birds, plants, mountains, stones, rivers, streams, lakes and oceans and all the other beings with whom we share this Great Earth.
All Nature’s forms experience this meditation with us as our partners, friends and lovers.
Purification Phase:
Visualize liquid rainbow light with brilliant pure white light in it. We see this Light coming down to purify - touching the crowns of our heads and all other beings of Nature along with us - we see it purifying:
• All forms of illness and disease;
• All obscurations of perceptions, emotions and thoughts;
• All of our difficult circumstances from past and present;
• All of our Karma, particularly in our attachments, aversions and ignorance;
• Totally purifying all negativity in all forms.
The light moves over the surface and down through the crown of our head, then washes through the surface of the skin, the fascia, the muscles, the ligaments and the tendons. Again, as this is happening for us this is also happening for all those beings joining with us. See this light flowing from the crown of the head down over our forehead, the face, the eyes, the nose, the cheeks, lips, mouth, and gums; it moves down and through: the chin, down the sides of the head and through the ears, down over the back of the head, on down into the front and the back of the neck. This luminous, brilliant, purifying light moves down and out the left shoulder, down the upper left arm, the left elbow, down the left forearm, down the left hand and out through the left palm and fingers. Now we see it move out and down the right shoulder (repeat same sequence).
Now the light flows through the skin and muscles of the chest and abdomen, then moving down the upper and middle back. The light flows down the sides of our body and into the lower back, pelvis and hips. Moving down, it washes the skin and soft tissue and muscles of the thighs, knees, calves, ankles, heels of the feet, all the muscles of the arch and instep and the skin and muscles of the toes.
