In many forms of meditation I have found the use of visualization being used. The SRF techniques of Paramahansa Yogananda are no exception. In his higher techniques of Kriya it is used, but also continuously in other practices throughout the Self Realization Fellowship Lessons:

Sit erect. Close your eyes. Throw the breath out. Calm yourself. Say: “I behold my thoughts as a forest of dark trees. I feed my flame 🔥 of perception on these trees of dark thoughts. The conflagration of my perception is spreading through all space and all space is a sphere of flame 🔥, a sphere of happiness. I am that. In the light of Self Realization I behold myself as an infinite sphere of flame.” Continue to visualize this.

Even though our body has many millions of cells; each is significant. Even a single cell in our inner ear canal can cause an imbalance in our body. Imagine the golden lite of a sparkler filling your whole being and all the cells in your body. This kind of visualization increases our life span and helps us be free of disease.

I think each of us is drawn to different forms of visualization possibly because of some of our experiences in life both spiritual and physical. As a boy looking at a sparkler 🎇 fascinated me because the light would spread out and envelope the area with luminous, dazzling, radiance. Later as a young man I had a few experiences with seeing this shimmering display inside myself. It is an experience one never forgets and longs for again as it was accompanied by bliss.  Although much like human experiences, they are for a time, and never again, and we must be open to the new experiences and understandings that surface as we continue our meditation and spiritual practice.  I do think though that various experiences we have had in the past help us in visualization practices in the present because of there realness to our personal experiences.

Visualization

Divine consciousness is omnipresent. In order to attune one’s consciousness to it, it is necessary first to expand the mind by meditation on some aspect of God’s infinite nature. Visualization is not Realization; but visualization is an effective aid in deepening one’s concentration, which is essential for the deep meditation that yields realization.

~Paramahansa Yogananda

In tandem with the above exercise this is more specific from the Self Realization Fellowship Lessons which I give my daily gratitude to for spiritual guidance;

Sit upright. Focus your gaze and your mind at the Christ consciousness center between the eyebrows. Fill your heart with joy. Behold! The sphere of darkness that you see with closed eyes is becoming a sphere of light and joy. This sphere is enlarging. Now it is bigger than your body. Go on expanding the sphere of joy. Your home and everyone in it are present in a sphere of light that you are beholding. Go on expanding it until you see your whole city in this sphere of light and joy. Ever increasing, the sphere of light and joy is encompassing the entire United States, and still is expanding including Europe, Asia, the world! See the world bathed in the light of this peaceful sphere of joy. The earth appears as a little ball moving in the vast sphere of light and joy. The sphere is becoming even larger; see! our planetary and stellar system, the Milky Way and island galaxies, like little bubbles, are floating in it.

Following the last visualization technique….

Expand that sphere of light and joy within you, in which all things are moving, glimmering like the lights of the city. Meditate on and try to be one with that joy. God is joy and we must find him through joy. The scriptures say: ‘Thou art that.’  Your self is one with that vast sphere of light  that is your Father. You are the spirit of light and joy! Meditate on that. You have no boundaries- -eternity above, below, everywhere. In this eternal spirit of life and joy I which all things are moving. Mentally affirm; ‘ In me worlds are floating like bubbles. I and my father are one.’

Now open your eyes. Look at the body and see how little it is. Close your eyes again and realize again that was you are not the body. You are the eternal sphere of life and joy in which all things have you been well I’m meditating mentally affirming I am a cash makes your life a joy of love in which worlds and universes are floating like bubbles my father is this like my father and I are one I am not the body I am the eternal sphere of light aum aum amen.

We are told by Paramahansa Yogananda to look into the Sun in the last 15 minutes that it sets and then close our eyes and visualize that sphere of light in the ajna center or third eye. I do this when the Sun is not obscured by clouds and often ‘see’ a beautiful greenish blue iridescent orb glimmering in the third eye when closing my eyes.
