Breath and visualization meditation

Incense burns; a timer is set.  I settle into my seated position and concentrate on the form of my body.  Satisfied there, I move to my meditation: I place over my eyes a blindfold and call to my mind a white light.  The light starts dim and reddish in my vision, but as I concentrate on it more I can see it brighten and whiten.  I start to have the light follow my breath: starting at the base of my breath and at my root Chakra, it climbs slowly with my inhale up to my throat and mouth.  There it pauses with a stillness in my breath, then returns slowly on my exhale back to my root.  I continue this meditation, just trying to find steadiness and focus on the light and breath.  I add in a root lock at the bottom and a throat lock at the top.  The ball of light cannot be contained.  Its energies want to connect outward.  I see tendrils of light connect the ball to the surface of my skin--a turmoil of lightning trying to equilibrate energies.  I can hear the crackling of the energy.

I let the energy ball sit in my throat a little longer.  I open my mouth to give it more space.  Out of my mouth comes a series of three Oms, slow, steady, firm.  I inhale again and the energy courses up to my crown feeling powerful, but light.  Ding goes my timer.
