The guru is in front of you and om, ah, hung, and hung is the mind, blue light. So you got white light at the forehead, om. You got red light at the throat, ah. You got blue light at the heart center, hung. Find that heart center of the mind essence. Check it out. Inhale. Let it go. Exhale. Pause. Empty. Relax. Hang. You're not spaced out.
