When I was researching different spiritual teachings for Medicine for the Earth I found the underlying principle of esoteric beliefs is that all life is made of light. As human beings with egos we often forget our true nature and we over identify with our personalities and bodies. We are light in bodies.
Alchemists did not literally change lead into gold. Rather they transmuted heavy leaded consciousness into gold light consciousness. Jesus in Matthew 5:30-20 challenges us not to hide our light under baskets. When mystics all over the world perform their miracles of healing they are seen to shine and become luminescent. Throughout Medicine for the Earth I write about the importance of’ the concept of light in all spiritual traditions.
We are light and we came here to shine. But most of us have forgotten our true nature as well as why we came here. We were created from love and light and we are love and light. It is our birthright to shine as fully in the world as we can.
Many of us have been taught at an early age not to shine too bright. If we shine too bright no one will love us. There can only be a few “stars” and it is not you. Does this sound familiar?
Why can there only be a few stars here on earth? I have never heard anyone say when looking up at the stars in the sky, “I wish that star wouldn’t shine so brightly it is outshining other stars”. Why do we have that belief here?
It is time for all us to shine our light, which will reflect back the beauty of the night sky above us. We need to find our shine again so that we can light up the dark places of the world.
On a monthly basis we will create a human web of light. This will not only bring light to places that need it right now, but it will heal us and help us remember our true nature which is light. It will also be quite healing to know that you are hooking up with thousands of others who are remembering that we are light. As we share this concept with others our web of light will grow which I know will have an impact on the earth and all life on it.
In Medicine for the Earth I teach that intention + harmony + love + concentration + focus + union + imagination = transmutation. This formula will help us in remembering our light and letting it shine forth.
You can begin to get in touch with your true nature which is light by putting on some relaxing soothing music and allow yourself to get into a quiet place. Take some deep breaths bringing you to a centered place where you will be able to experience a state of harmony and love. Allow yourself to go inside holding the intention that you want to experience the light that shines within your being. This will bring you into a state of union with your creator or the power of the universe. Keep your focus and concentrate on your intention. Allow your imagination to help you feel and see your internal light. Give yourself permission to let your light shine fully through you. This light is always there and cannot be used up. The capacity to share your light and be filled by it yourself is endless. Your light cannot be destroyed or taken from you. You do not have to worry about becoming depleted, as the source of this light is always abundant.
Make your experience a full body experience. Begin by letting your light shine forth from the core of your being. Let that light permeate every cell of your body. Once you feel yourself filled up with your own light experience yourself pulsing connecting you with the web of life. Let your light shine forth through your pulsating body. Experience your light pouring forth through every part of your body.
Once you have had the experience of your abundant light and have let it shine through you once again use your breath and intention to take you out of the state you are in. Come back, open your eyes, feel your body, wiggle your toes, and know you are ready to connect with others who wish to shine to bring healing energy into the world.
Begin to practice with letting your light shine through you. And next practice breathing in light and breathing out light throughout the day.
As you get in touch with your own light and shine it in your life you will change your vibration. As we gather our lights together and share it in the world we change the vibration of the planet. It’s crucial to stay focused on your intention.
I suggest that you add no prayers or words as you do this. Just simply shine and allow yourself to join with a planetary web of light that will reach out to touch all the dark places in the world.
The first meditation began at the winter solstice in 2000 celebrating the return of the light. During this winter solstice meditation people were instructed to shine their light as the solstice began where they lived. As we did this the light grew as it moved from country to country. The light was passed around the globe. But we did not stop there. We continued throughout the day and evening to shine. In this way we began to link the web of light throughout the world by shining at the time of the solstice but we kept this web alive throughout the day and night.
The meditations to create a human web of light continue with each full moon when the power of the full moon will magnify the light we send out. Each full moon keep working with shining your light and visualizing that you are connected to a global human web of light throughout the day and evening. And let’s keep this going every full moon. Imagine the healing and change in vibration that can take place in your own lives as well as on the planet.
If you work with a group during full moon celebrations link hands and link your lights together as you let your own shine come through. Experience the light of your group linking with groups all over the world. Experience yourself merging into one giant web of light.
If you are working alone once again get into a quiet place and let your shine come through you. Experience yourself merging into one great community web of light that is shining around the world.
A friend reminded me that children always shine. Bring your children into this practice with you.
Remember all life is of the light. You are light, we all are light, we join together in a great circle and web of light.
