Be The Light

Updated: Jan 25

What is the importance of being the light?


We hear a lot about light in the transformative journey. But why?


It's time for you to live in the sunlight of the spirit...


How can we bring light to the world?

Being the light

When I go to my place of joy in the woods daily, regardless of the weather, there is always a divine light shining through the trees, dancing at it illuminates the ground. Bob Marley called us to “Light up the darkness.” We are born free and full of light. Georgia O'Keefe said “My first memory is of light - the brightness of light - light all around.” But our conditioned mind dims our light: We need to replenish it. This is a daily practice. We are the light for ourselves and for others. Being a lightworker means being someone who emanates light to lift others out of their shadow. It comes through meditation: It is a daily practice. Marianne Williamson shares a wonderful meditation on this (see below). But what does being the light mean? This relates to reminding ourselves daily to be the light, and recharging ourselves to illuminate our own shadow, our darkness, and that of others. This daily practice is so important: As John Hagee said “We are indeed the light of the world — but only if our switch is turned on.” Mary Anne Radmacher said “As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.” By being the light it saves us from being dimmed by our shadow and dragged down by negative thoughts in ourselves and the negative words and behaviour of others. It also allows others to do the same. The excess weight of darkness falls away. This is the miracle of the light. It heals, and all is new. The shadow is born of fear. Marianne Williamson said “Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears.” There’s no such thing as the light at the end of the tunnel, you must realise that you are the light."


Meditation for a light filled body by Marianne Williamson

The light in the mirror

Be the light when confronted with darkness

Light is truth

Collective healing

Light may be powered by our own shadow

Light is true beauty

We must not be afraid of being the light

Light gets in through our wounds

Coming from a place of needing external validation dims your light

Be the light of all lights



When a candle lights another candle, it loses nothing of itself.


Plato wrote "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." We become the light of being with daily meditative practice, by telling our Truth, facing and integrating our shadow, being immune to negativity and projection by others, finding our true Self, finding our purpose, being a beacon and a mirror, with love and gratitude, and expanding our consciousness through presence. Shine on!


Namaste.


Sending you love, light, and blessings brothers.
