What
should you do if no clear image is obtained?
First of
all, you should not feel disappointed, whatever the clarity of
the image which appears at the centre of the body. The mere presence
of an image indicates that you have already attained a promising
state of awareness. The brightness and clarity of the image can
be increased by changing the mantra from 'Samma-Arahamâ to
Îbrighter and brighter, clearer and clearerâ, and repeating
these words instead. There is no harm in doing this. It will make
your awareness more alert, clear and peaceful. Pay attention to
the centre of the image, and you will perceive it much more clearly.
