MANIFESTATION LIFE MEDITATION.

Here is a technique that came to me in meditation this morning:

First of all, pick something you wish to manifest. In this example I use "perfect health". (You may replace it with whatever you wish—financial abundance, perfect soulmate, etc. etc.)

Close your eyes and focus on your breath.

Silently repeat each of the following sentences over and over until you feel ready to move to the next:
(meditation examples in italics)

I witness the conception of my perfect health
conceiving is fun—use your imagination here

I witness the gestation of my perfect health
picture nine months passing

I witness the labor of my perfect health
picture (don't actually do) that "heee heee heee" breathing technique

I witness the crowning of my perfect health
picture little rays of light seeping out, just waiting to be born

I witness the birth of my perfect health
light fills the room

I witness the infancy of my perfect health
how cute

I witness the childhood of my perfect health
learning how to walk. Free and full of wonder

I witness the adolescence of my perfect health
a little awkward; growing pains

I witness the adulthood of my perfect health
all grown up, ready to take on the world

I witness the maturiy of my perfect health
grown up in all ways and relaxed into beingness

Now sit for a moment and contemplate this, then say:

I now invoke my perfect health

Breathe. Enjoy the bliss flooding your consciousness.

. . .

There are three main reasons for doing it this way:

• By witnessing the desire's growth all the way from conception to maturity, you gradually open yourself up to it (much like you would want to gradually open your eyes when coming from total darkness to total daylight). Invoking it at its full maturity may just be too much all at once, thus ineffective.
• Do you really want baby good health or rebellious teenage prosperity?
• You grew it and nourished it for its entire life—it is family now.

Look for an MP3 guided version of this meditation soon.

DE-MANIFESTATION LIFE MEDITATION.

To "de-manifest" something, simply use the manifestation meditation and once you get to "I witness the maturity of [my perfect health—poor example here—changing to "smoking habit"]" skip the invocation and keep moving on to:

I witness the old-age of my smoking habit
picture the pale skin, leathery, wrinkled, dying, brittle frame

I witness the death of my smoking habit
on its death bed, saying goodbye

I witness the funeral of my smoking habit
picture someone saying some nice words "Ah, smokey... got me through some hard times"

I witness the cremation of my smoking habit
you could say "burial" here. Though cremation doesn't give it a body to come back and haunt.

. . .

This process allows you to accept what is, and even appreciate it for what it has done, then observe it dying.

It would be a good idea to have a desire that you do want to manifest ready to go when you de-manifest something. That way you there's not a big gaping hole.

LAVA.

I was never inclined to purchase a Lava Lamp, but my friend was going to trash his and I thought I'd give it a try.

So I put it next to my desk in my studio and whenever I get stuck on something, I just look at the Lava Lamp. I watch as it never struggles, and never stops, it just flows on and on. It just keeps moving. If another blob blocks its path it doesn't stop and say "Stupid blob, get out of my way!" and honk its horn. It just flows gracefully around the blob.

This struck me as a great metaphor for how we live our lives. The less we let things block us and the more we just allow everything and everyone else to be exactly as they are and flow gracefully around them, the more beautiful our lives will become.

After all, for all we know, this entire universe could be contained in a Lava Lamp on someone's desk somewhere. Might as well give them a good show.

PERCEPTION.

Each inhale is a rebirth—everything is new. Each exhale is a funeral for the last breath. This breath has never been before and will never be again. That which takes place during this breath has never been before and will never be again. The sky might be cloudy and one might say "the sky is cloudy, just like yesterday". Yet it is completely different. Not one cloud is in the exact same place bearing the exact same shape—not even from one breath to the next. You are a powerful creator. What you perceive to be true becomes truth. Perceive well.
