Whatever it is, You know you want to be purposeful in moving to or through it. To that end, This meditation asks you four basic questions and presents an eternal truth. Begin by settling into a comfortable position where you can be relaxed and the chest can rise and fall freely with each breath. You may be lying down, Sitting up or standing. If you find you're slumping or tensing your shoulders to keep your spine erect, Consider using a prop, Such as a cushion under your seat or behind your back. Breathe up the length of your spine. Then take a long, Slow exhale. Emptying the lungs completely. Feel the pause between the exhale and the inhale. Then take another long inhale. Feel the pause, Then exhale. Releasing tension from your body and mind. Inhale, Breathing down into the belly, Feeling the chest lift. And on the exhale, Feel yourself settling into a neutral, Calm state. Ask yourself, What is my heart's desire? What is my soul's goal? What is calling me now? Imagine it in your mind. Imagine yourself doing it fully engaged. Hold the knowledge and the feeling of it in your heart. As you do, Imagine a light at your heart center. Like a glowing pearl pulsating softly with your heartbeat. Say to yourself, May I attain my heart's desire. Feel a light emanate from your heart center. Empowering you to attain the goal your heart and soul desire. As you inhale, Repeat, May I attain my heart's desire. As you exhale, Feel the light filling you with energy. May I attain my heart's desire. Feel energy pulsate gently throughout your body.

Next, Think about what material things you will need to attain your heart's desire. What money, Equipment, Technologies, Or facilities will you need? See them in your mind's eye. What relationships will you need? What mentors, Advisors, Colleagues, Volunteers or employees? Envision them as well. Say to yourself, May I receive all I need to attain my heart's desire. Imagine the light at your heart center gratefully accepting all you need as it comes to you. May I receive all I need. See everything you need coming to you in its own way and time. May I receive all I need. See yourself gratefully receiving all you need. Repeat that inwardly, Staying in your heart space. May I receive all I need. Next, Think about all the ways you will need to transform yourself. How will you need to change to attain your heart's desire? What knowledge must you acquire? What habits must you develop or release? How must you grow? Say to yourself, May I transform in every way necessary in order to attain my heart's desire. And now see the light emanating from your heart and flowing into an expanded, Evolved version of you. May I transform in every way necessary. See the light filling your transformed self. May I transform in every way necessary. Feel your expanded self filled with light. See inwardly. May I transform. And breathe into your transformed self. And now, Consider how attaining your soul's goal will benefit the world. How will it improve the lives of those around you? How will it uplift others? What do you think the ripple effect might be? Envision it. As you inhale, Say, May the attainment of my heart's desire contribute to the happiness of the world. Imagine the light that's pulsating at your heart and filling your expanded being flowing past your fingertips and out into the world. Say, May the attainment of my heart's desire contribute to the happiness of the world. With each breath, See your light illuminate more and more of the world. May my soul's goal contribute to the well-being of the world. Watch your light flow farther and farther. Continue to breathe slowly and steadily, Feeling how your heart's desire will benefit the world. Now, Finally, Recognize that your life and all things material are fleeting and will pass away. Recognize the truth that all you have is this moment, This instant. As you inhale, Feel the fullness of this moment. As you exhale, Feel your connection to everything that is in the world right now. Feel your energy and your ability to act in this moment. And feel how your actions touch the world. Feel your energy alive and pulsating. And feel a determination that your actions in this moment have a positive effect. Say to yourself, My actions. This moment. My actions. In this moment. My actions. This moment. This moment.
