If you've meditated before, you will know the power of concentration upon a simple object or symbol. The difference with the Star is that it is a dynamic symbol. In a word, it shines.

As you steady your breathing, simply allow your imagination to create for you the simple, shining, Star shape. At first it may seem a difficult shape to focus on. Actually that is part of the advantage of it. In one sense, you really need to concentrate to see it. On the other hand, if you concentrate too hard with your mind, you'll soon lose it. Relax the mind a little. Feel that the concentration is coming, effortlessly and lightly, from your heart. You may be able to see all six points, but don't worry if you can't. Just develop the feeling that it is a six-pointed Star that you are seeing, and that it is shining.

Your meditation may take you into a feeling of total oneness, but really all you need do is hold this simple focus as you breathe. It really does have an effect. First of all, it helps to open not only your heart but every cell of your body to the light. The light shines outwards from you too, and so it reaches other people.
