Recommendations for LED for Kasina Practice

Posts: 66 Join Date: 8/30/16 Recent Posts
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good LED light to use for kasina practice?

I have been using a 10-inch beeswax candle placed on a 12-inch holder, placed about 3-4 feet in front of me. I've tried a few different LEDs (iPhone light, LED tea candle, etc), but I haven't found anything that I like as well as the candle. 

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I used these little keychain LED lights and was happy with them. I mostly just used them when reclining or walking--a quick flash on was all it took to get an afterimage because they're quite bright. Otherwise, a taper beeswax candle was my preference.

Thanks! I'll give them a try. I love the candle flame and the interesting things that show up with it, but I need something to use on a retreat that doesn't have the potential of burning the entire place to the ground!

Thanks again!

Yeah, burning down the building would definitely be a bummer. Have a great retreat!
