This is a short guided meditation to manifest abundance in your life. Last week I focused on manifesting abundance through the imagery of a Chalice. This week we will manifest abundance with the now well-known idea of the Law of Attraction - “The Secret.” In this meditation discover manifesting is a full-sensory experience - not just your thoughts!
I’m not one of those people who has New Year’s Resolutions, but I do have intentions for a better year. I feel the New Year offers a chance of rebirth, a fresh start, a cleaning away of the old to make way for the new. Over the years, I’ve developed an exercise for myself and my clients to enhance the process of cleansing from the last year and welcoming a fresh, abundant new year into your life.
I do this exercise once a year, sometimes in January or around my birthday in the springtime. I don’t think the calendar date matters as much as your own personal desire for a clean slate and a new beginning.
First, write down everything you did not like about last year. No censoring. Include all your disappointments. Difficulties in love. Financial struggles, fights with family or coworkers. Concerns with health. The loss of someone you love. Ended relationships. Possibly the loss of a beloved pet. Moments you let others down, even yourself. Get everything out.
This may bring you to tears: that’s ok. Let it out. By writing these experiences you can release the negative energies that tie you to the past.
Once you have finished, read through the pages. Upon finishing say out loud, “I am grateful for the lessons I have learned from these experiences. I now release myself of the past and the pain.” Then destroy the pages through burning, or the like. Once the pages are completely gone, say out loud, “I welcome love, joy and abundance into my life today and every day.”
Now write out all the things you did like about this past year. Things you’ve learned. New relationships. Advances in your career. Family. Vacations. Spirituality. Great books or movies that have stayed with you. Any experience that brings you profound love for others or yourself. Acknowledge all the gifts this year has brought into your life.
Again by writing it all out you experience the joy of those moments all over again. It becomes tangible and more real. Once you’ve completed the pages, read through them and then say out loud, “I am grateful for the love I have received and freely given. I am blessed. Thank you.” Set the pages aside for later.
The next part is truly my favorite part of this exercise; writing a letter to your self. The letter is everything you would like to see happen or accomplish this next year. I divide the letter into seven parts; self, career, financial, relationship with significant other, health, motherhood and spirit.
You can modify the parts to fit your life. Everything you write down is for your best life. Think big and stay positive. Dream the very best year and write it down. Be specific. Your thoughts become words, your words become deeds and your deeds build your life. Let go of the “what ifs” and any fears that come up.
Personally, I have struggled with fear my entire life. I read somewhere once that, “fears are dragons that keep us from our most precious treasures.” For me those treasures are love and freedom. What are your most precious treasures? What blocks you from those treasures?
Once you have completed the letter and are satisfied with it, take this letter and the pages you set aside previously and put them in an envelope. Address the letter to yourself, place a stamp on it and put it in the mail. This is very important: DO NOT SKIP THE POSTAL SYSTEM. The message must go out into the universe, freeing you to receive your most abundant year ever. When I get the letter back in the mail, I don’t open it. I put it in a drawer, knowing my message has been received and the universe is conspiring to make it so.
I have been doing this exercise for several years with great success. Not everything works out the way I envision. Sometimes it is even better and sometimes not, but I am always surprised. This exercise helps you release the negativity and pain of the past year thus not bringing it into the new year. It also allows you the opportunity to bring the good things of the past into the next year. Most of all it opens the door to a more abundant life in the New Year. May it be so.
Meditation sounds so evolved, so Eastern philosophy, “way out there.” But I’ll tell you a secret; it works. Through meditation, I am able to bring into my life today that which I seek, be it peace or abundance.
This isn’t a new concept. Oprah has been talking about “The Secret” all year. By focusing your thoughts on a specific issue or desire, you bring it into your life. For me, it is during meditation I am able to manifest my best self and bring that force into my life today.
Years ago, when someone first suggested meditation to me, it seemed too hard. How could I possibly focus on one thing and be quiet? I imagined myself sitting in a room with a flickering candle, soft new age music in the background and smiling like a lunatic. Are you kidding me? Not likely. However, the concept achieving a quiet mind through meditation was still very attractive to me as I struggled constantly with a busy, worrying mind. Then I found guided meditation.
Guided meditation differs from other meditation practices, because you are verbally led throughout the experience. The “experience” being at the core for me as I can finally be free of my incessantly thinking mind by concentrating on the unfolding meditation. I become part of the true present and this is where I find my quiet mind. It is within this quiet place I find healing and am able to create a beautiful life.
That’s why I began using meditation with my clients. Early on in my private practice I discovered at the end of the sessions, my clients were in a balanced and receptive state for positive change in their lives. I began using short guided meditations at the end of sessions to ground positive change into their bodies and open their lives to the abundance that always surrounds us.
Quickly, my clients and I noticed how effective this process had become. It is through meditation that each of us can connect with our deepest desires and needs. The more you stay in touch with these needs or desires, the quicker they can manifest in your life. You become your highest self and begin living your best life every day.
What’s all this talk about “manifesting abundance and prosperity” and why, you may ask, is it not in your life today? The answer is simple. You haven’t found the path to allow abundance into your life. Maybe you have certain negative beliefs about money, maybe you don’t think you deserve it, or maybe you just haven’t thought you could manifest abundance into your life today. Well, you do deserve an abundant, beautiful life and you can manifest that life into reality with meditation.
As you grow up, you acquire belief systems through your experiences and the modeled behavior of the adults around you. Since many of us come from dysfunctional homes, it is quite possible that you have created certain belief systems or habits of thinking that bind you in unhealthy life patterns. You are always broke. Nothing ever works out. As a child, you needed these beliefs systems to explain and survive the world you were in, but now, you are no longer a child.
Now these “survival beliefs” are in fact sabotaging your life. You are not a very good partner in life if you have an underlining belief that, “Nothing ever works out.” Guess what? You will prove your self right time and again as nothing works out.
Try this exercise; think about all the things you want, that you don’t have right now. Love? Prosperity? New house? New car? Money? Anything…now, notice how you feel inside. You are feeling the lack, the cold empty spaces that begin to make you feel smaller and smaller. Isolated and trapped in your own unhappy experience of “Not enough,” as the list of all your unsatisfied wants increases.
Now imagine that you have in your life today, that which you seek. Say to yourself, “Abundance flows into my life easily and effortlessly. All my needs and wants are met today.” Take a breath and feel quiet peace relax your body. Balance returns. Notice where you feel this in your body. Warmth expands from the inside making you feel larger, more connected to today.
As you work with guided meditation, new beliefs begin taking the place of self-defeating thought patterns and you become more connected to your own thoughts. Instead of sabotaging your experiences with old beliefs, you actually become more present in your life. You are in charge of your thoughts, instead of your thoughts being in charge of you.
Finally, you will be empowered to make the best choices in your life for you, instead of reacting to the choices made by others. Through meditation you can become your highest self and manifest your best life into reality. As the saying goes, where your mind goes – your thoughts expand. Expand into your most abundant life
