As a spiritual medium, I often find myself reflecting on the sacred connection between our earthly existence and the divine essence that animates us. One phrase that has profoundly inspired me is, “My life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). This beautiful verse speaks of the spiritual security and surrender we experience when we align ourselves with divine love and light. Whether you resonate with Christ, Krishna, or the universal Source, the journey to uncover the hidden light within is one of the most transformative experiences we can undertake.
This meditation practice blends insights from Alice A. Bailey's The Light of the Soul, Bhagavad Gita As It Is (16.5), and timeless biblical wisdom. It is designed to help you access the radiant light of your higher self, surrender to divine guidance, and cultivate the transcendental qualities that lead to liberation.
The Divine Inspiration
In The Light of the Soul, Alice Bailey explores the soul’s journey toward illumination through the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. She teaches that the soul’s essence is veiled within us, waiting for conscious discovery. This mirrors the Bible’s promise that our true life is “hidden” in God, inviting us to explore the depth of our divine connection.
The Bhagavad Gita (16.5) also illuminates this journey. Krishna assures Arjuna, “The transcendental qualities lead to liberation, whereas the demonic qualities make for bondage.” These divine qualities—faith, fearlessness, compassion, and self-control—are keys to uncovering the light within and aligning with our highest potential.
As a practitioner of meditation, you can integrate these teachings to deepen your connection to Spirit, releasing ego-driven attachments and embracing the divine light that guides you.
A Guided Meditation to Uncover the Hidden Light
1. Prepare Your Sacred Space
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle or incense to signify the presence of Spirit.
Sit comfortably with your spine straight and your hands resting in your lap.
2. Center Yourself Through Breath
Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. Inhale for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale for six. With each exhale, release distractions and allow your mind to settle into stillness.
3. Invoke Divine Guidance
Silently or aloud, set your intention:
“I surrender my ego and align with my higher self. May my life, hidden in the divine essence, radiate love, light, and truth.”
4. Visualize the Hidden Light
Imagine a radiant light at your heart center, small and hidden like a seed. With each inhale, the light grows brighter, filling your being with divine love and peace.
See this light connecting you to an infinite ocean of divine consciousness, reminding you that you are always held within the embrace of the sacred.
5. Rest in Silence
Allow the words and images to fade into silence. Sit in stillness, observing any sensations, emotions, or insights that arise. Rest in the awareness of your connection to the Divine.
6. Closing Affirmation
Place your hands over your heart and affirm:
“I am one with the Divine.”
Journaling Prompt: Reflecting on the Light Within

The journey to uncover the hidden light within is a sacred act of self-discovery and surrender.
