Candle meditation

[Jitendra Hydonus]

I think the first meditation i began was as a teenager staring into a candle light and staring in the flame then closing my eyes and attempting to see the flame continue in my inner awareness.

However many times we look back on our lives and see behavioral patterns that only developed through time. For instance; I remember as a child going places like the attic or a chamber in the church where others could not find me and just felt comfortable being alone there in solitude setting for awhile.
