The Lamp Within

Sit upright with eyes gently closed. Picture a small steady flame, the size of a household diya, burning in the centre of your chest. The flame does not flicker. No wind reaches it here. As you breathe, the light of that flame grows clearer, softly lighting up the inside of the body. Stay with it until you forget that you were imagining anything, and only the brightness remains. That brightness has been you all along.
