Meditation Technique

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

  Meditate with closed eyes, beholding the darkness behind closed eyes. Mentally say; "I dissolve my body in darkness." Forget the body, watching the limitless dark space of eternity above, beneath, in front, behind, ahead, everywhere. Now visualize a sealed balloon of rainbow light surrounding you. Throw your breath out very slowly, visualizing your breath as light that is filling and expanding the balloon. Remember, this balloon of light cannot burst, no matter how much you blow into it. Continue expanding the rainbow balloon with your luminous breath until it becomes big enough to contain the earth and your body; star clusters, universes, planetary and solar systems---everything.
