DREAM LOTUS AND FLAME TECHNIQUE

1. Relax completely
While lying in bed, gently close your eyes and relax your head, neck, back, arms, and legs.
Completely let go of all muscular and mental tension, and breathe slowly and restfully. Enjoy
the feeling of relaxation and let go of your thoughts, worries, and concerns. If you have just
awakened from sleep, you are probably sufficiently relaxed. Otherwise, you may use either the
progressive relaxation exercise (page 53) or the 61-point relaxation exercise


2. Visualize the flame in the lotus
As soon as you feel fully relaxed, visualize in your throat (Point 1 in the 61-point relaxation
exercise) a beautiful lotus flower with soft, light-pink petals curling slightly inward. In the
center of the lotus, imagine a flame incandescent
with reddish-orange light. See the flame as
dearly as possible: it is brighter at the edges than at the center. Gently focus on the top of the
flame, and continue
to visualize it as long as possible.

3. Observe your imagery
Observe how the image of the flame in the lotus interacts with other images that arise in your
mind. Do not try to think about, interpret, or concern yourself with any of these images, but,
under all circumstances, continue to maintain your visualization.
4. Blend with the image, and with the dream
Contemplate the flame in the lotus until you feel the image
and your awareness of it merge
together. When this happens, you are no longer conscious of trying to focus on the image, but
simply see it. Gradually, with practice, you will find that you are dreaming.
