Month’s Letter
Dear
KRS,
When I meditate I see swirls of color - usually a lavender color appears and
swirls around. I even see waves of energy moving around. After I see darkness,
outlines of what looks like the silhouettes of people then light and visions.
When I open my eyes and see the room, sometimes I feel very weird. What is
happening?

Dear
Visions,
It’s not uncommon for people, especially new meditators, to see images when they
close their eyes. The solution is simple – meditate with your eyes open, looking
down toward the floor. Try that technique for several days or even weeks. Then
gradually try closing your eyes for brief periods, perhaps one minute at a time
or even less. You should gradually acclimate to being able to keep your eyes
closed for longer periods without seeing images. If you continue to see images,
no problem and no cause for alarm. You can meditate (successfully) with your
eyes open while sitting, slow walking or while stretching or doing yoga and get
very nice results.
