I AM a Divine Being

A meditation from Nischala Joy Devi:

In a softly lit room, sit [or stand] as close as comfortably possible to a mirror.

Take a few deep breaths and let them out slowly.

Allow yourself to relax.

Take a moment to look at your own familiar face.

Allow thoughts to drift away. Bring awareness to your eyes.

Keep your eyes soft as you gaze deeply into them.

At first you may feel uncomfortable. (We rarely, if ever, look ourselves in the eye.) But the eyes are the windows to the soul, so take a look into your own.

Continue to relax and soften the gaze.

Find yourself going deeper within until you get a glimpse of the Divine Light that is ever present.

Repeat either silently or aloud, “I am a Divine Being.”….

As you allow your eyes to close, be still and experience any feelings that surface.

Practice two times a day for a week and observe how your newfound feelings and thoughts influence the vision of your True Nature, and other people’s as well. Each time you pass a mirror or think of yourself in any way, reaffirm, “I am a Divine Being.”
