Meditation White Light: The Guided Meditation To Access Universal Healing Energy
The post Meditation White Light: The Guided Meditation To Access Universal Healing Energy appeared first on The Yoga Nomads.

Did you know the human body has an incredible capacity to heal itself? Science has shown that our cells can heal themselves and create new cells that replace those that are too damaged.
However, how we care for our bodies determines their natural healing capacity. So, just as there are things that hinder our body’s healing, there are also ways we can help it work at its full potential.
White light meditation works with a white light healing energy that is believed to clear negativity from your aura, cleanse the subtle body, and assist in the healing of physical ailments and diseases.
So how can you try white light meditation to see for yourself if it is as powerful as it claims? Let’s find out.
What Is White Light Meditation?
White light meditation is a guided meditation and visualization technique for activating the powerful healing energy within you. It does this by combining imagery, breath, and intention.
The technique is believed to help you access and amplify your natural healing capacity to heal disease and ailments in the physical body and the mind. However, it is a practice that should be repeated regularly as each meditation session works towards activating the natural healing rhythms of your body.
While there is no scientific evidence to prove that white light meditation works, the technique is based on the well-known law of attraction: we manifest what we focus our energy on. Thus, in white light meditation, we focus our energy on healing and use visualization to cultivate greater health and well-being.
White Light Meditation And The Yoga Sutras
White Light Meditation, also known as Jyoti Dhyana in Sanskrit, translates to “meditation on the inward light by a spiritual aspirant.” It was first documented in The Yoga Sutras, which according to sage Patanjali, concentration and meditation are the ingredients to understanding the ultimate reality.
The verse on Jyoti Dhyana in the yoga sutras translates loosely to: “Vishoka Va Jyotismati – concentration on the inner light leads to a state which is beyond sorrow.”
Benefits Of White Light Meditation

Like other meditation techniques, regular white light meditation practice can help calm your mind, relax your body, and rebalance your nervous system. However, the unique visualization technique is believed to bring meditators further benefits, such as:
It may assist in the healing of physical ailments and diseases. Rejuvenates your body and mind Increases positive energy and helps you control negative feelings like anger and frustration Reduces stress and anxiety Clears the mind and increases focus Enhances intuition and inner vision Activates, cleanses, and balances the seven chakras Helps you foster a deeper connection with the universe (higher power).How To Do White Light Healing Energy Meditation
The white light meditation practice involves visualizing a radiant white light entering the top of your head and then moving down all seven chakras, cleansing and healing your entire being.
There is a short version and an extended version that includes chakra clearing. If you are new to visualization meditation, you can try the shorter one first. Then, once you get comfortable with the process, give the extended version a go.

Tips For Meditation Success

If you’re new to meditation or visualization, here are a few additional tips to get you comfortable with the practice.
Practice In A Quiet Place
When we first start to meditate, many things may distract us. So one way to minimize distractions is to choose a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. If you live with others, especially children, choose a time when they are not around if possible.
Another way to block out any background noise that may distract you, such as people talking, is to play soft meditation music. For the white light meditation, I recommend listening to music tuned at the frequency of the crown chakra of 963 Hz, like this Crown Chakra Healing Music.
Use A Meditation Cushion
Aside from minimizing distractions, a comfortable posture is another key to successful meditation. You can do the white light practice seated or lying down, but I don’t recommend the latter unless necessary, as it can be too easy to fall asleep.
There are several ways to make a seated meditation posture more comfortable, such as sitting with your back against a wall, on a chair, or using a meditation cushion. If you’re serious about starting and maintaining a regular meditation practice, I recommend a cushion set like this one from Bean Products.
It contains both a Zafu (round-shaped) cushion and Zabuton (large, rectangular cushion). The Zafu elevates your hips to prevent joint or spine pain and improve posture. Meanwhile, the Zabuton provides cushioning for your feet and ankles.
Be Patient
Lastly, like all types of meditation, you may not immediately feel the positive effects of the white light healing energy. Moreover, if you are new to visualization, it’s normal to struggle to envision the white light healing energy and maintain focus on this imagery.
Thus, start with the shorter meditation, easing yourself into it. If you get distracted and lose the visualization, don’t be hard on yourself. Instead, observe the distraction and return your awareness to your breath for a few moments before continuing.
FAQS

What Does White Light Represent?
For centuries, the power of white light has been known to hold the most electrifying energy. White light is believed to be a combination of every visible wavelength of the spectrum. Using it in meditation can create significant changes in the magnetic field of our physical, psychic, emotional, or mental states of awareness.
The color white is also associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara), located at the top of the head. This energy center is responsible for our connection to the divine, expansion of consciousness, and flow of life energy. It is believed that when our crown chakra is healthy and open, a pure white light glows in our aura.
Can meditation really heal you?
If you’re skeptical about the claims of white light meditation, I highly recommend the book Meditation As Medicine: Activate the Power of Your Natural Healing Force. Written by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, Meditation As Medicine explains the power of medical meditation based on scientific research. It also features various healing meditations, each having a specific physiological effect and targeting a different ailment, such as arthritis, ulcers, or cancer.
What Does It Mean If You See White Light When Meditating?
Some people claim to see a white light when meditating without trying to visualize it. It is believed this happens because meditation stimulates the pineal gland. The pineal gland is located deep in the brain at the level of the third eye chakra. Thus, some people also believe that seeing white light naturally during meditation indicates that your third eye chakra is opening.
What Light Should You Meditate In?
Generally, a dimly lit room is best for meditation as it helps to calm the mind. However, meditating in the dark is best when using visualization techniques. If you don’t like to meditate in pitch black, light candles or turn on a warm-toned bedside light. Salts lamps are also fantastic for providing soft lighting and setting the right ambiance.
Final Thoughts On Meditation White Light
Science has proven our bodies possess the ability to heal themselves. However, many aspects of modern-day life, such as poor diet, high-stress levels, and lack of sleep, hinder its ability to make us better. Visualization meditation is one way we can help our bodies help us while increasing positive energy, focus, and mental clarity.
