Awhile back I was doing some late night open eye meditation. In a dark room I would light a single candle and get comfortable and stare at the candle. The flame is a source of natural light. As you stare at it your eyes get a bit of a watery coating. Tears are salty so contains lots of crystals that will fractal the light into colors. What happens is you see a sharp line of light that shoots of like a ray from the candle...first color is like a bright orange. As you relax and loose focus but continue to stare the beam of light will split creating a field of color. Very much like a laser show in a foggy room. Can be surprising and it's easy to loose your lost focus. But if you can maintain then the candle will shoot out another ray of light. The next one is more red and this one too will split as you relax and loose focus but maintain your emptiness in mind. A blue beam will appear then a purple....I wasn't able to maintain focus because being color blind for some reason the thought "is that blue or purple? or which chakra did I just connect too?" would always pop into my mind and ruin the meditation.
Usually it would take me an hour to do so after failing I'd be tired and fall asleep quickly afterwards. It's important not to stare at the candle directly. It's like God and the Source and all that...you need to know it's there but pretend in a way that it's not. To get the light beams to split requires you stare at nothing far off in the distance beyond the walls of the room your in. Keeping a blank mind is the hardest part and something I'm conditioned not to do. Will try again in the future when I live at home alone.
edit to add: I did this at the time because I thought I was a robot and in order to download new information, updates and tune my body to the frequencies I had to connect my light body to a light source. Like plugging into the Matrix if you will. Connecting and opening the light beams transfered data to my body that would release the needed info or catch me up to the latest programing. Lots a weird stuff was going on. It destroyed me and now I am rebuilding.
