“Shine Your Light ”

Gently close your eyes now and softly repeat,
“I am still”. Notice your body relax instantly
and easily. Allow your body to sink down in
your bed further and further, as your muscles
become soft and limp. It feels so comfortable.
Your body just seems to relax more and more
with each and every word you hear.
Imagine now a small sparkle somewhere
deep inside your heart. This small sparkle
begins to glow brighter now, and you feel it
reaching up and expanding out. The glow
becomes brighter and brighter filling up your
chest. You feel the warmth spreading out
touching your tummy, your shoulders.... getting bigger and bigger.... getting brighter and
brighter, glowing all the way down to your
toes. Now feel your whole body glowing like
a radiant star shining out. This wonderful
light is your light - your shining light - your
personal brilliance. It is all the love in your
heart. It is all you’re possibilities - and your
possibilities are endless.
Shine your light wherever you go. Sharing
your light makes others happy, and it makes
you happy as well. It’s a wonderful feeling to
share your light, and by doing so, you become a good example to them. When you
shine your light brightly, it lets others know
that it is okay for them to shine their light
brightly too. When we all do this, it makes
the world a more beautiful, peaceful place.

can mean helping someone who is younger
than you, or not as strong as you. All of this
is shining your light, and you will discover
a wonderful warm, fuzzy feeling inside your
heart when you do this. This wonderful feeling comes from doing what you were created
to do – feeling and spreading love and joy.
Sharing your light means sharing the real
you and being who you truly are. It means
standing up for what is right and making the
choices that feel right in your heart.
Now, allow that bright light inside to become
like a gentle shower of fireworks.
See how beautiful and amazing you are? You
light up the sky!
As the firework sizzle and f
