Hi, this is Whitney and you're listening to Exploring Peace Meditations. Today's meditation is a guided, christ-centered energy meditation. Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can relax and connect with God's presence. Find a comfortable posture, either seated or reclined. We'll connect with our body, our senses and God's Word. To help you listen and discover God's light within and around you, breathe fully and deeply as you listen to John 8.12. Allow your exhale to be long and extended. Again, jesus spoke to them saying I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. With your next exhale, release any tightness or tension that you physically feel within your body. Consciously exhale that tension, stress or worry. As you practice releasing and letting go, we'll make space to notice God's love and light within. As you continue to breathe deeply, envision each breath as a wave of God's love and light entering your body. Inhale deeply, feel the energy, the breath, the life. This is God's presence, giving you life with each breath you breathe. Welcome God's love and light.

On your next inhalation, bring awareness to your entire body, starting with your toes. Imagine a warm, soothing light gradually moving upward through your feet, ankles and calves, as you imagine this light touching your body, invite conscious relaxation, letting go. This light travels up to your knees, your thighs and your hips. This comforting, warm sensation covers your core, your shoulders, your arms and your head. This light that God is shining upon you covers your entire being. Bask in it for a moment. Discover what it feels like to rest in God's light.

John 812 reminds us I am the light of the world, jesus says. Feel the truth of Christ Light radiating within you, dispelling any darkness or doubt or worries. Let Christ Light fill you, surround you, cover you. Now bring your hands to your heart space. Notice and feel the gentle rhythm of your heart, since the breath moving through your body. Imagine that this light of Christ not only fills and covers you, but that it radiates from your heart into the world. That Christ Light fills you to overflowing.

See and imagine God's light expanding from your heart into the world. What does it look like to shine God's light with your life, with each beat of your heart?

God, thank you for being the light of the world, for shining your light for us in our lives, for covering us with your light, for filling us with your light so that we may shine for you.
