I love my morning meditation. It helps me to create serenity and tackle daily challenges without getting frantic or terribly upset. The visualizations assist me in creating joy and abundance in my life.
Most mornings I sit in bed for 15 – 20 minutes and clear my mind. I focus on my breath then ground and center myself. After that I stay (or try to stay) in the present moment for several minutes. Then I visualize what I want in my life. It may be something to do with my business, a relationship, my health, money, anything I want to shift in my life.
When I meditate I seem to be able to handle the curve balls life throws at me more easily. I feel grounded, centered and able to determine what is necessary to resolve the issues. Some days it is easy to clear my mind, other days it is very difficult. Some days thought after thought just keeps coming in such as my to-do list, what happened yesterday, determining how to finish the project on time, etc. Does that ever happen to you – you can’t quiet your mind? I picture these thoughts as clouds drifting by on a windy day. Finally I get myself to a more peaceful place with no clouds in the sky. Whether it is only for a few seconds or several minutes I feel calmer and happier.
Once my mind is quiet I begin to visualize what I want in life or my business. For instance if I want better communication with a family member I see the two of us talking to each other and responding respectfully. I visualize where we are, the tone of our voices, the time of day, so I am engaging all of my senses. I imagine feeling compassion and empathy for the person. I see us talking and ending the conversation with smiles and hugs. I also use this technique for physical issues such as painful muscles/joints. The imagery is very different but the premise is the same, imagine what you want and the brain starts to make changes toward manifesting it. Sometimes I feel a positive change after one meditation other times it may take days or months but a change for the better usually occurs.
Starting your day off calm and centered helps you manage life challenges easier and calmer. Visualizing what you desire can help you make progress towards your goals faster and easier. I would be honored to be your guide on such a journey, click here to contact me or call 510 381-3191.
