The magic light meditation is a short guided meditation for children. It is a universal meditation which is suitable for children of any age and any faith. The meditation focuses on the properties of light which includes warmth, illumination, expansion and purification. It involves visualisation of a candle light (the Magic Light), then bringing this light into the head followed by the heart where it expands to the different parts of the body. As the light expands to the different parts of the body, the child is guided to think positive thoughts e.g. when the light expands to the eyes, the child is guided to think that the eyes will always see the good in every person and in every situation. The light then expands outside the body to the surrounding areas encompassing all the people, animals, plants, streets and buildings. The light then expands further across all the countries, oceans and the whole earth. Then the light expands further and further to the moon, planets, sun and galaxy until the whole universe is filled with light. The expansion of the light across the earth and then ultimately to the whole universe helps to promote a feeling of oneness and unity with all the people, animals, plants and all creation thus removing artificially created man made barriers such as differences based on caste, creed, colour and faith.

The aim of the meditation is to promote positive values and emotions such as kindness, calmness, love, peace, truth and non-violence within the child. When this meditation is practiced regularly, children are observed to become quieter, calmer, peaceful and more loving towards their teachers, peers, friends and family members. This meditation has been used successfully with disruptive children suffering from hyperactivity, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other behavioural difficulties. However the positive benefits of the meditation can be observed in any child, not just those with behavioural difficulties. Although the meditation is targeted at children it can also be used by adults as a short, simple and effective meditation.

This website has been specially designed to appeal to children. There are four icons on the main page above. One of these is the link to the Magic Light Meditation tutorial. The tutorial is about 5 minutes long and explains with the use of a simple animation how the meditation should be done. There is also an icon for playing the meditation track which is about 10 minutes long. The other two icons are for downloading the meditation script (so that the meditation can be read to a child instead of playing the audio track) and for downloading the audio file of the meditation.

All of the resources described above can be downloaded free of charge. There is no requirement to enrol or provide any of your personal details. However, if you do find this meditation useful, we would like to hear from you! We have a testimonials page which describes the positive benefits of the meditation as experienced by parents and children. If you or your child have a positive experience with this meditation please do contact us. We hope that you enjoy the meditation!
