Have you ever felt it. A dimming. A quiet sense that something in you used to shine brighter and somewhere along the way, without quite noticing when, the light got covered over.

Do You Have to Build Your Inner Light From Nothing?

Is your inner light something you have to build from nothing, or is it something you already carry, waiting to be remembered.

I ask because most of the women I sit with in session are not actually missing their light. They are missing daily contact with it. Life gets loud. Old patterns get loud. The wounding we carried from childhood, from relationships, from every place we learned to shrink or perform or protect ourselves, gets loud. And underneath all of it, the light is still there. It always was.

Growing your inner light is not about becoming someone new. It is about clearing the noise enough that who you actually are, your authentic self, gets to lead again.

What Role Does Prayer Play in Growing Your Inner Light?

Prayer has been a lifelong practice for me. Long before I had language for any of this, I was already praying, already reaching for something greater than what I could see in front of me. Those who know me well will tell you there is something different in the way I pray, especially when I am praying for another person or for a circumstance someone is moving through. It has never felt like a skill I picked up so much as a gift I was given, and one of my greatest joys is helping people attune to deeper and deeper levels of prayer themselves.

What Is Calling in the Light?

One of the deepest tools I was given for this work came out of my training in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica. It is a practice called calling in the light, and it has become part of my own daily life and part of what I teach every client I work with.

Calling in the light is not complicated and it is not about doing more. It is a specific way of praying, a way of consciously welcoming light into your day before the patterns get a chance to run the show. You pause. You call the light in, on purpose, and you ask it to take the lead in your consciousness. Not your fear. Not your old programming. Not the parts of you still operating from a wound that formed decades ago. The light.

What Happens When You Call in the Light Daily?

Done daily, this practice starts to shift something real. It activates deeper levels of healing and consciousness than we can access through willpower alone. It softens the grip of old trauma. It gives the parts of you that have been exiled, the parts you learned to hide or silence, a way back into wholeness. And slowly, it lets go of what is no longer serving you, not because you forced it out, but because you made room for something greater to lead instead.

How Is Calling in the Light Used in Coaching?

This is the heart of what I teach in session. Not a technique to perform once and forget, but a daily returning. A daily welcoming. Your light was never something you had to grow from nothing. It was only ever waiting for you to call it back in.

What Else Do People Ask About Your Inner Light?

Where does the calling in the light practice come from?

Calling in the light is a practice from Dawn Light Amora's Spiritual Psychology training at the University of Santa Monica, and it is part of her own daily life and her work with every client.

Does calling in the light take a lot of time?

No. It is not complicated and it is not about doing more. You pause, call the light in on purpose, and ask it to take the lead in your consciousness.

Why does my inner light feel dim?

Most people are not missing their light. They are missing daily contact with it, because old patterns and wounds from childhood and relationships get loud enough to cover it over.
