Purification Meditation

[Sifer Verlust]

First off, this is a great meditation to rid yourself of negative forces that may be holding you back. The positive and negative are always at war in our minds, love and anger, joy and laziness, and so on. I encourage you to use this meditation when you feel the negative emotions are getting the better of you.

Start by being comfortable and relaxed. Take a few minutes to settle your mind in the here and now.
Turn your attention to your breath. Breathe normally and observe the full duration of every inhalation and exhalation.
When your mind is calm, imagine that when you inhale, all the positive energy in the universe enters your body in the form of pure, blissful, radiant white light. Visualize this light flowing to every part of your body, filling every cell and atom, and making you relaxed, light, and blissful. Do this visualization with every inhalation.
Once you are familiar and comfortable with breathing in the white light, then begin to breathe out dark smoke with every exhalation. Imagine that all your negative energy, past mistakes, distorted conceptions, and disturbing emotions leave your body with the breath in the form of dark smoke or fog. This smoke goes out into space, where it disappears completely. Don't worry that you are polluting the environment--just imagine that the smoke becomes non-existent. Feel confident that you have freed yourself of every trace of faults and negativity.
Concentrate on this experience--breathing out the dark smoke of your problems and breathing in the white light of good energy--for as long as you wish. When you are distracted by thoughts or other experiences, simply observe them without reacting or getting involved. You can also transform these distractions into dark smoke and breathe them out into oblivion.

Thank you for that interesting meditation of light. Have you actually done that while you are as mad as Mustafar and hot as the lava? I ask because when I am that mad I can not meditate on white light because I am fuming too much. I usually have to do two things when that mad. Either take a very fast brisk walk thus dissipating the energy or attacking the target that I am mad at.

Mrs. Darth Vader,

Yes, I have done this meditation, among others to be honest, when I feel anger brewing. Anger is among the worst of a human beings negative emotions. And, maybe more important than being such a negative emotion, it clouds our judgment.
Has Jedi or Sith, we are warriors and we must control our emotions and keep our minds clear and focused on our mission. Easier said than done, but we have to keep our emotions in check.
Anger, and other negative emotions, are human nature. But, once again, whether you have chosen the path of the Jedi or Sith, YOU ARE A WARRIOR and you can do it.
May the Force be with you.

You have to remember anger to a Sith is used and excepted. It is not in it self seen as bad or useless. Sustained anger is not good but a burst when needed can be useful. Your chores are done faster when mad. If you do not wish to be angry a brisk walk helps. This method is because once angered your adrenaline is pumping through out your blood stream and you must do something with this chemical reaction in the body that is why i advocate a brisk walk if you do not wish to use this anger to engage the target. The walk does two things. It never hurts to get into shape or stay in shape. It also disperses the built up adrenaline.

I see your point. You make a lot of sense. I don't see anything wrong with using anger and passion to your advantage, so long as you don't harm others (at least the ones that did not do you wrong). Like I said before, I chose the path of the Sith once before.

Nice stuff, I'll deffo try this one out. What experiences do you have with the Sith, master Verlust?

I usually never start it. I do not go around looking for fights and you have to do something real bad for me to actually take a swing at you. Mostly I choose the brisk walk. Depending on what was done does determine action taken. At my age I ignore many things figuring it not worth it. I act if damage is done because I pick my battles. One only has so much energy so when fighting physically or mentally as in courts and so on you must asses the cost to you before going to battle. If too expensive than drop it is the best advice. If cost is less than the return for winning than go for it.

I'm the same way. I agree 100%
