Drop the awareness of the vibration. Instead, start looking between
the eyebrows for a fog or a haze, a glow, or any form of light or
colour. All of these can be regarded as different modalities of the
‘light’ which of course, in the context of this book does not refer
to physical light but to spiritual light, perceived with your eyes
closed.
Remember, no imagination, no visualisation – just awareness of
what is in front of you.
As soon as you perceive any of these modalities of light (fog, glow,
colour...) even very vaguely, connect it with the throat friction.
Just as in phase 2 you were connecting the friction with the
vibration between the eyebrows, you are now connecting the
friction with the light. Instead of amplifying the vibration, you
are now working at amplifying the light.
As you go on practising you will perceive brighter and brighter
parts of the light. Gradually drop the awareness of the hazier
parts to focus on the most shining ones. Connect your amplifier-
friction with the most luminous part of the light.
A common experience is that of tiny shining particles of light,
spread in the space in front of you and drifting in various
directions. As you connect the friction with these luminous
particles, some will enter you and go straight into your heart,
feeding it with a precious energy.
Meditation phase 4: awareness in the space
Remain in the eye, between the eyebrows.
Instead of focussing on the light itself and on its shining particles,
become aware of the background of the light. The darkness or the
purple light at the background of all the colours will give you the
feeling of a space, extending in front of you.
The space may appear purple, dark blue, or even just dark. More
than the colour it is the feeling of expanse that matters.
Just remain aware in the space. Let yourself be absorbed in it.
At this stage the throat friction can be decreased or even dropped.
Start breathing with the friction again if the mind goes
wandering with thoughts.
Meditation phase 5: spinning in the space
Start spinning into the space in front of you, spiralling forwards
and clockwise, as if you were falling forwards into a tunnel.
