Let's begin our day with a little bit of happy talk and meditation in this short yet impactful podcast designed to infuse a little bit of positivity into each moment of every day.
Let's get in the flow.
Okay so here's the question for today.
Have you ever tried visualization?
Do you know what that is?
Visualization is when you take the time to visualize something that you want to bring into your existence.
This is regarding like manifesting.
So it sounds simple in premise,
Right?
What have you ever actually sat down for 15 minutes and tried to visualize something that you want in your life?
I'm sorry to say but it's not as easy as you may think and maybe not for the reason you're thinking,
Right?
I say this because do we dare to allow ourselves to really think about what it is that we really,
Really want in our lives?
Our lives are so filled with gotta do's,
You know,
I gotta do this,
Gotta do that,
You know?
We wake up and create this list of everything that we need to do for the day and as the day goes on that list gets longer and longer and longer.
But what about the things that we want for our lives?
What about our dreams?
The dreams that you don't tell anybody about.
Those dreams.
Do you ever allow yourself to sit and dream about something that you want in your life?
So for me,
Every time I sit down and try to visualize about something I want in my life,
I think about what my life would be like with this thing in the present tense.
And what happens for me is I find myself getting overly excited,
Okay?
To the point where I have to stop.
I can literally feel my vibration getting higher.
And sadly,
I usually do have to stop myself because I will,
And this happened yesterday,
I will start to shake with anticipation.
Absolutely shake.
I mean it's like,
Come on already,
Right?
So that's what I invite you guys to try today.
At some point today,
Maybe you'll be in the car driving and then obviously you don't close your eyes when you do this.
Just a visualization,
Right?
Or you could be doing the dishes.
Sit and start to consider something that you want for yourself in your life.
Right?
Doesn't that sound like exhilarating?
One thing that you really,
Really want.
If it's a new car,
You would imagine going to the dealership and picking out the color and test driving it.
Or if it's like a new job,
Imagine yourself in the office or doing whatever it is that you wanted to do.
So here's the thing though.
If you find this thought of visualization daunting,
Start out by considering a few things that you're grateful for,
Right?
It starts out the process of raising your vibration,
Right?
Getting into the present moment is what allows you to start feeling that you may actually deserve what it is you're thinking about for your life,
For your own life.
Just try sitting for 10 minutes.
Yesterday my husband was still sleeping and I got up and I was going to do some visualization work,
Right?
So I get up and I am like,
Like I said,
I was like shaking.
I was so excited because it was so real in my mind.
So I go walking into the room.
I'm like,
Honey,
Blah,
Blah,
Blah,
Blah.
And meanwhile he's sleeping.
That's what happens.
You get so excited you want to share it.
This is manifesting.
This is one of the exercises of manifesting.
Try it.
You might like it.
It's fun.
And that's the thing.
It's fun.
Why not try it?
You know,
What else do we have to do with those 60 to 80,
000 thoughts that we have a day?
Let's try to manifest something and visualize,
Right?
I mean,
You know,
So,
But first before we do any of that work,
Let's meditate.
Yay.
Okay.
So let's get ourselves comfortable because we're going to meditate just for,
You know,
A short period of time,
Not very long as usual,
But that's okay.
Right?
So get yourself comfortable,
Cross-legged,
Feet flat on the floor,
Whatever works for you.
Told you,
Very sing songy today.
All right.
So whenever it feels comfortable,
Close your eyes and let's take a nice,
Really beautiful deep breath in and release.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Awesome.
So let's start out with our gratitudes,
Our gratefuls.
I know gratefuls is not really a word.
It's my word.
What are you grateful for today in your mind?
Just start rattling off.
What are you grateful for today?
If you're in a good place,
You might have 10.
If you're struggling a little bit,
Come up with three.
Three is always an okay place to start.
Very good.
Very good.
So for today's meditation,
We're going to focus,
No mantra,
We're going to focus on our breath.
And if you feel as though you're starting to have those thoughts,
Those got to do lists are coming to you,
Just gently move the thoughts away and come back and consider your breath.
Place your attention on your breath.
Breathing in and out.
Breathing in and out.
I will keep the time and let's begin.
Breathing in and out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Let's take a final deep breath in very slow.
Perfect.
You can open your eyes whenever you feel comfortable.
Perfect.
Namaste.
