Visualize the consciousness of your body as a small ball of light rising up and leaving your body through the top of your head. Visualize this consciousness ascending up into a clear blue sky. Visualize a door high above. Visualize your consciousness rising up to that door. When you get there, open the door and move through it. On the other side of it, there is a being of bright light and power. This is your own Highest Self, your own soul. Approach yourself, stand in front of your Self, and greet your Self. Did you come with a question or questions? Then ask your Self the questions.
Swami Brahamanda recommends reflecting/focussing on the Divine Form, as a perfect center of bliss. "Imagine that everything is shining through its lustre. Think of this effulgence as non-material and possessed with intelligence. This kind of meditation will later on develop into meditation on the formless and infinite aspect of God. In the beginning the aspirant has to take the help of imagination; later on, when he develops his spiritual sense, he will feel the presence of the Divine. Next, when he gets the highest spiritual vision, he will come face to face with Truth. He is then transported into a different realm altogether, of which this world of matter appears to be a mere shadow and, as such, some- thing unreal."[2] ==Footnotes==
