Tapping the Sun Inside

It's January and we're deep in the heart of winter now. For those of you who aren't going somewhere south, warm and sunny -- don't despair. You can tap into the power of the sun to invigorate and relax body, mind and soul without going anywhere at all. Here's how to do it....

Find a warm spot in the house where you won't be disturbed. You can do this practice either sitting or lying down , just make sure you are comfortable. Close your eyes and begin to allow the breath to flow in and out. Invite the breath to progressively lengthen until you feel very relaxed, peaceful and warm. Imagine a sunny summer's day and feel the sun's rays warming your body. Visualize a small sun taking up residence in the chest or belly. Feel the heat radiating from inside your body. Spend a while just experiencing sensation.

I encourage you to experiment with this visualization technique. You may want to try it in the evening before bed or first thing in the morning to tap into the powerful energy of the sun. The more regularly you practice this technique the more you will feel the comfort of keeping the sun inside even when the external sun is behind the clouds. Remember, the sun is still there, inside and out, radiating with all it's power, beauty and warmth.

Keep on shining!
