Candle Flame and Closed Eyes During Meditation
Hi everyone,
I have what is probably a silly question about the meditation exercises.
Why do we light a candle before meditating if we're doing the meditation with our eyes closed and can't actually see the flame? I've also seen people mention that they struggle to focus on the flame while meditating, but if our eyes are closed, that doesn't seem like it would be an issue.
Is focusing on the candle something that comes later in the course, or is there another purpose for lighting it that I'm missing?
Thanks for your help!
