Show Notes

Here is a brief outline of what you can expect from this podcast episode. Listen to the podcast because the bullet points are explained.

Meditation

This is my first episode addressing meditation
My story:
- In December 2015 I was introduced to two books, “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” and “Creating Affluence”, both by Deepak Chopra
- Deepak mentions meditation several times and why it’s so important
- I was against meditation, and said “no way” (really)
- Over the next four months or so, listening to Deepak as well as many other authors and experts, meditation started to seep into my brain (at least the idea of trying meditation)
- I started looking for books and articles and how to meditate
- Nothing was complete enough for me to get it, but I was beginning to understand I needed to do this
- My point is, if you are not ready to meditate, don’t worry
- I am now an advocate of meditation, now that I understand it and I am experiencing the results
- I meditate every day (you don’t have to)
It took time and effort for me to understand meditation to the point where it made sense, both to understand it and to actually meditate
So let’s get into it Let’s talk about what meditation is and what it is not

Let’s talk about what meditation is and what it is not

It’s a method you can use to quiet your mind
It’s not some weird esoteric practice by outcasts of society
It’s natural, especially when you become keenly aware of your spiritual nature
It’s not forced

Why meditate?

Meditation is a powerful tool to help manifest your desires
That is because when you quiet your mind, you are NOT vibrating on the frequency of your problems (the lack of your desires)
Instead, you are raising your vibration to that of your inner being, whereby you are allowing your desires to flow (instead of resisting them)
Raising your vibration in the morning helps calibrate your frequency for the entire day

Meditation tips…

Don’t try to meditate (I get that’s easier said than done)
Trying puts your attention on something that you are not doing (the lack of your desire to meditate), and thereby puts you in a vibration of lack
That’s actually good news!
That’s because it is much easier to relax and just enjoy instead of trying to do anything
The more you meditate, the better you will get
Don’t try to write the story, even if it feels good
Meditation is the time to “allow” what you have already created through desire (it is waiting for you)
When meditating, put your attention on something meaningless (not an issue in your life)
Such as your breath or a sound (there are apps for that)
When you find yourself thinking, just realize it “listen” to the sound or be aware of your breath. Just shift your attention.

There are different types of meditation, but they all should lead to the same outcome of quieting your mind

Some use mantras
That’s fine, think of a mantra as something to put your attention on that has no emotional meaning
There are guided meditations, some are good, others not so much
Do whatever works for your
Some meditations are designed to free a particular blockage
Personally, I prefer to avoid focusing on any particular issue as it is common to fall back towards the issue you hoping to release

For me, meditation is awesome when I quiet my mind and let it flow

If a thought enters your mind that does not feel good (which you can tell with your emotions), move your attention back to your breath or the sound
If a thought enters your mind that feels good, as trivial and unrelated as it may seem, enjoy it. That thought came from your inner being, from source. That thought will lead you towards desired manifestation or even a direct action you need to take.
Again, let it flow naturally
