This guided Christian meditation uses the image of a ball of light to help you cultivate a state of calm alertness—relaxed yet present, peaceful yet aware. Whether you're new to contemplative prayer or a seasoned practitioner of Christian mysticism, this 12-minute meditation offers gentle guidance for embodying this balanced state of consciousness.

During this meditation, you'll be guided through visualization practices using light as a focusing tool. Christian mystical tradition has long used light imagery to represent divine presence, consciousness, and spiritual awakening. This meditation helps you experience yourself as held within divine light while maintaining a quality of relaxed attention—neither striving nor drifting, but resting in aware presence.

This meditation pairs beautifully with our daily meditation and communion services. Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably with an alert but relaxed posture.
