Balancing the Light and DarkWritten by Robert Morgen
Continued from page 1
As you exhale release all your stress and tension and let it flow back down into earth to be recycled. Feel your muscles relax as this stress bleeds out of your body and feel your connection to earth increase and you draw in each breath. Do this as long as necessary to become relaxed and feel a good connection to energy. Now as you inhale, feel dark earth energy flow up back side of your body, while simultaneously opening up and feeling light universal energy flow down through crown of your head and down front of your body. As you exhale see 2 bands of energy swirl through you and into a yin/yang symbol that encompasses you. Continue at this level til you can do that with one breath comfortably. The next step is to let loose of your perceptions and BECOME yin/yang symbol. Feel yourself expand beyond your usual physical boundaries with light and dark energies swirling through you in perfect balance. If energy wants to continue spiraling then let it. Now begin to expand yourself, feeling connectivity to light/dark energy in everything around you. It’s all same energy and parts of it that are in you are also parts of you that are in it. Feel your energy expand til it fills (feels) room, now let it expand to fill your house, your city, your state. Continue expanding out through solar system, then universe. This is energy that’s all around us all time. We’re as much a part of it as it’s a part of us, and in reality there’s NO DIFFERENCE between it/us. We/it encompass everything and we’re/it’s basic building blocks for everything that ever was or is. It’s proper balance of light/dark/, masculine/feminine, good/bad and positive and negative that holds everything together. “For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction” is not just a good idea, it’s law. Take awhile here and feel connections to universe within and without. FEEL swirl of galaxies within you and visualize them as tiny yin/yangs all swirling together inside a larger yin/yang which is also just another swirl and realize (make REAL) that dualities don’t really exist, that they are just perceptions of same reality. Now choose one of swirling yin/yangs at random and let yourself fall into it. This should be easy since (sense) your connection to everything also gives you unlimited abilities. As you fall into this swirling galaxy you can see that it’s made up of billions of swirling little solar systems all made up of little yin/yangs. Choose one at random and flow into it. See little yin/yangs rotating around a larger one in center. Choose one of these at random and flow down to it. When you look more closely at it you can see that it is also made up of billions of swirling, individual yin/yangs. Choose one of these and flow into it. Now without letting go of your connection to universe, can you open your eyes and feel light/dark energies swirling all around you? Did you come back down to same room and body and mindset that you left? Does it matter? Play with this as there are infinite possibilities and energies to explore.

On ‘Expectation’ In spiritual circles we often hear people talking about doing things ‘without expectation’. It’s amazing how often simple truths are all around us. When we begin meditation or working towards kundalini, we often feel that we should be able to do certain things within a certain time frame. We expect to be able to clear our minds and access our deeper abilities. We expect to be able to sit for an hour and meditate, or to see auras, or feel other people’s chi. Then when it doesn’t happen we become disappointed and confused. I can’t tell you how important it is to break free of these expectations. When we let go of expectations and learn to just relax in moment and just BE, then we are making progress of most important kind. In west we tend to be so goal oriented and have a need to see results, but frequently cumulative effects of meditation aren’t noticeable until much later. Meditation is about this moment, about BEing totally in this moment, rather than about who you’ll be when you’ve become a good meditator. The important thing with a regular practice is to just do it. The effects are cumulative and one day you’ll look back and see that all those short meditation sessions actually added up.
