definition

image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Allow yourself to imagine that you are a star in the night sky. Feel the intense heat radiating from your skin. Let yourself be aware of the bright, clear, beautiful light, rushing away from every square inch of your surface and out into the infinite vastness of interstellar space. Realize within yourself just how good it feels to shine. Take all the time you need to experience the whole of the wonder and fall in love with it.
Heat and light are both integral and important parts of the beautiful act of shining that you have come to love so much. Suddenly, a new understanding arises within your mind. You can see it as a picture, as if you are looking at your own new and wonderful star-shine body, from a point outside. There are crusts floating upon your beautiful, molten, radiant surface. Crusts of dead matter that you yourself brought into being before you knew the beauty of your radiance. These crusts reflect the heat of your glow back upon you, making areas of your surface feel hot, uncomfortable, and self-disgusted. Let the whole of your shining intensify. Feel the heat of your glow rise unimaginably high and rejoice as the crusts upon your surface burn away, letting you radiate at last, with the full spectrum of light and love and warmth, upon the whole of the universe. Take a moment to appreciate the wonder of what you have done, then allow your eyes to open once again. (Chavez)
