                Sam, your touching poem about your son, as well as earlier ones by other dear ones like Tyleness, Mermaid, Sinome prompted me to share this technique in a poetic form..I'm glad you found it helpful, and hope others will too, I have ! - best wishes brave mom, Ash

                I certainly needed a poem like this today. It is difficult to know where to start to laud your work. The message, imagery are in full view. I think it is critical to read this poem at least.  two times. The depth is what one picks up on the second read. BRAVO!!  sam

                Its a basic tool in meditation for beginners! The light, sun or flame is visualized within usually in the third eye region but it can be placed anywhere: in the solar plexus or site that needs healing. You can add qualities to it to aid in healing of body or head. You can immerse your awareness in it until it is all that exists. You can gradually expand it and view it chasing the darkness away as it grows! You can expand it so that it forms a protective bubble. There are many permutations of this kind of visualization. You can breath in and see the air going to injured areas healing as it goes. etc etc! Shakti Gawain has an interesting book on CREATIVE VISUALIZATION. The trick is to see the desired internal change as having manifested as the light bathes the body from the inside out!!!

                 I was really impressed with the way that you integrated so many words with ending sound of "ion"  (sounds "SHUN")   very clever, and a great message!  I always enjoy reading your posts, Ash!
