Try this..

Recently, during meditation I've been sitting in front of the warm, firey glow of this portable room heater, and rather like the way a photograph or piece of writng can provide a psychic link to another person, this heater gives a really nice link to the pure love of God. It acts as a kind of 'tangable reminder' of what meditation, for me, is all about.

I suppose its quite similar to how a shrine works, but tis really the light and the warmth that does it.

just a little idea.. if you've got a heater, dig it out and give it a try!

But don't sit too close to it. We don't want you nodding off in front and have you catch on fire. That can definitely ruin the moment.

I have never tried a heater, but I have tried a candle and really like meditating in a dark, quiet room lit by a candle.

My space heater is a little bit loud, so I probably won't meditate with it. But I do like your idea.
