Generally it is a best practice to do Jyothi meditation early in the morning just before the sun rises. One practices Jyothi meditation with the flame of a candle or lamp. You should posture yourself comfortably in the lotus position with the flame directly in front of you. You begin by staring at the flame with your eyes open. Then you will close your eyes and imagine the flame inside of you feeling the energy. The energy of the flame should enter through your eyebrows and then flow to your heard and then the rest of your body. The light of the flame should purify your body cleaning your thoughts, feelings and emotions.
You should actually imagine and try to feel the purification process that you are undergoing as the light fills your whole body. As it enters your mind bad energy will be cleansed and you will feel the positivity. After your whole body has felt the power of the energy then imagine your family and friends and pass the light onto them. Feel it radiating around them as they are cleansed and purified as well. As you continue to imagine light everywhere in time you will deflect negative energy and negative thoughts. This will obviously only come with many hours of practice.
One of the keys to jyothi meditation is not the actual movement of light throughout the body, but the fact that you are forgetting about your body and stopping all thought. The mind will become more and more quiet as you focus on the feelings of the flame throughout your body. When one is still conscious of themselves they are still not meditating, it is only when they are unaware of what they are doing is when true meditation begins.
Keep in mind that posture is very important while meditating. You must keep your back erect so the light and energy can flow through your body. Between the 12th and 9th vertebrae is where your life force can be found thus it acts as an antenna to the universe. These are very sensitive vertebrae as you may be paralyzed if any of these vertebrae are injured. Keeping a good straight posture will help align you with the universe.
While Jyothi meditation may not be for everyone, it is certainly effective and will make a difference in your life. Even a beginner can easily have success since they will concentrate on the flame and thus help stop conscious thought. Those that have been meditating for a while might find it interesting to try out jyothi meditation for a change of pace and to see if it enhances the flow of energy in their body.
