The Energetics Of Success & Manifestation

Welcome to the first day of our series. We start this journey a few thousand years in the past, with the story of Alexander the Great, who meets a yogi in India, and we contemplate what their discussion must have been like. It’s important to acknowledge that success has both an inner and outer element; there is a material and subtle aspect to it. Whether you’re here to find inner peace, financial abundance, manifest a partner, or create a new career path, I welcome you onto the path of developing into your highest potential!

For the next seven days of this course, we will be focusing on becoming aware of what success means to us in each aspect of our lives, and how much we are living up to our potential in each area. Today we start our second lesson working on the energy of purpose. If we don’t have a purpose or meaning in our lives, our motivation can feel rudderless. We will begin by looking at how deeply we are living our purpose.

To manifest success, we need to define what success means to us. In each aspect of our lives, success will look different. Financial success is different than spiritual success, and creative success may take a different form than relationship success. Today we explore what having a balanced mental and emotional life looks like to us, and how being balanced and sharp naturally manifests success.

Without a healthy body, we have no foundation from which to manifest. For years as a meditator I ignored my body, and when it began to breakdown I had to start paying attention. After billions of years of evolution you have been given this amazing gift that your consciousness gets to call home. In this meditation, we will ask what success and health in the body look like for us, and how we can achieve it in a grounded way.

As we step into lesson five we confront one of the more complicated energies in life - family. But it’s also one of the most important. Whether it’s healing childhood trauma, connecting more with our current family, or manifesting the family we want to form, we all have a sense of what we have, and what we are missing. In this meditation, we go deep into what a successful family space looks like for us.

How much we value and take responsibility for our careers and money space can be a reflection of our power, or lack of power. Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker, says that it’s not about resources, but resourcefulness. Now we are all born with different lots in life; access to education, financial status, and family and social programming on what is or isn’t possible - but at the end of the day, when we begin to awaken to who we truly are, to our authentic nature, we take control of our destinies and can begin to be resourceful, shift our energy, and take our career and money space to the next level.

Creativity is taking invisible possibilities and manifesting them into form. In fact, the entire process of creating success is one of creativity. In today’s meditation, we will explore how much we value our own creativity, release any energy that is stuck around it, and make space for more of our creative spirit to awaken. Come sit, and begin to move that creative energy.

To finish these seven days of exploring our potential in each aspect of our lives, we come to relationships. There is no topic I get asked more questions about than relationships. In today’s meditation, we will meditate on the state of our relationships, and shift the energy around them so we can recognize what it is we really need and want to manifest in this space.

For the next seven days, we’ll be exploring tools and techniques for letting go of energy. We begin by working with the energy of control. Sometimes when we try to control something we are creating we can accidentally sabotage it by putting too much pressure on it. Can you come and sit, release control, and be present in the moment?

Expectations can be subtle but powerful. Sometimes we have to sit and ask ourselves, are we choosing our path from freedom and authenticity, or from expectations? In this meditation, we will begin to release the first cousin of control, expectation, both external and internal, and step into our true energy.

There’s a saying, “Perfection is the enemy of the good.” In our last meditation we worked on letting go of other people’s expectations, and today we’re going to focus on the energy of perfection. The need to be the best, to do things right, to be seen as flawless - those expectations on steroids that can be truly paralyzing - and ones that we often put on ourselves.

Many of us have a Ph.D. in invalidation. In today’s lesson, we will be confronting those energies in us that makes us feel like we aren’t good enough in some way - or in every way. Invalidation is often the stone sitting on our hearts that convinces us not to take a step. If we listen to it, we become it. In this meditation, we sit with it, release it, and transcend its limitations. Lets step into our power and out of our invalidation.

The author Elizabeth Gilbert says, “The only people who don’t have fear are psychopaths and babies, and I don’t want to be either of those.” The fear of failure is one of the most debilitating and paralyzing energies on the planet. But what if we turned it upside down and recognized that the resistance is actually a doorway to our deepest truth?

There’s something we are often more afraid of than failure - success. Success can easily highlight our imposter syndrome, bring up a sense of inadequacy, or make us feel guilty. In today’s meditation, we will begin to release the energy of fear around having success, so that the fear around actually getting what we want doesn’t stop us from manifesting our goals.

Are you afraid of receiving all the love that you need to feel fulfilled? Many of us feel like we are undeserving of love, or if we get it we will lose it; so we’re better off not trying. At the same time, desire and need for excessive external love can be a reflection of not having enough internal love and self-value. In this meditation, we will begin to release that fear so we can be full of the most important energy in the universe.

Beginning today, for the next seven days, we’ll be focusing on harnessing certain qualities of energy that shift our consciousness to align with vibrations that attract success. We start with a story from Albert Einstein, and explore our own world-view filters, and how they affect our limitations. We’ll be releasing out-dated filters of perception, bringing in a clear vision to reshape how we see success.

In this meditation, I share a story about a professional hockey player friend of mine, and how he harnessed the energy of confidence and focus to accel in his craft. In order to execute and live a life of success, we must believe in ourselves in an authentic way, and have the focus to move towards our goals. Today we focus on filling our energetic body up with the vibration of confidence and step out of meditation with a sense of purpose and focus.

Winston Churchill said, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” In this meditation, we begin to deepen into our own decisiveness, and recognize failure as an unavoidable and necessary step towards success. We also explore the energy of what keeps us in a loop of indecision, of where we reference other people who we think they know more than us, and release the stuck invalidation around being able to make grounded, decisive decisions.

Humility is being in love with yourself in a healthy way, and recognizing we are all equal in this infinite existence. It’s very easy to inflate or deflate our sense of self-worth based on other people’s perceptions and judgments. In this meditation, we explore how we react to the world, release energy that pushes us towards inflation or deflation of the ego, and recognize true humility.

Today we explore the energies of patience and persistence through stories of past successful spiritual teachers, inventors and creatives - and experience a deep meditation in a sacred forest. Modern society is programmed with a sense of urgency and instant gratification energy that robs us of real growth and experience. It’s important to step into the energy of our true patience and grow like nature - at a calm, yet persistent pace.

To be successful in life we need to have both passion and purpose. It’s not enough to create something only for the sake of money or reputation. We need a clear purpose, with a fire full of genuine motivation. With the combination of passion and purpose, the path becomes more clear, and we attract our goals as much as we move towards them. In this meditation, we will explore those energies inside ourselves and awaken our true path.

Happiness and joy arise from the inside out. They are qualities that we must cultivate in ourselves, that are then reflected back to us through life. We manifest on the outside how we vibrate on the inside. In this meditation, we step into our own joy of being and recognize that we don’t have to be happy for a specific reason, but simply for existing. That energy begins to shift the quality of our consciousness, and success easily follows.

For the next seven days, we are going to be transitioning from harnessing the energies and qualities of success, to learning tools in order to begin manifesting our creations into form. Learning to see images clearly in our mind's eye of what exactly we want to create is the first tool in our toolbelt that we are going to explore. If we want something, we have to be able to see it clearly in our consciousness.

If we have a block around having and receiving - even if we manifest something - we won’t be able to enjoy it. So many of us are great givers, but to be open, to be present, and to know you have the self-worth and value to have what you want can be exceedingly difficult. In this meditation, we go back to what we are working on manifesting and check to see how much we can actually have it.

Sitting on the banks of a river in the country of Laos, I had an intuition that changed the course of my life. In this meditation, I share that experience, and we go deep into silence to find our own inner-voice and wisdom in relationship to what we are working on manifesting into the world. As a teacher of mine used to say, “The power of silence is very underrated.”

Today I share the difference in experience I had with a billionaire and a poor family in the Himalayas. If we approach creating only through the lens of what we will receive, we miss out on the deeper meaning of life. If we can expand into the vibration of gratitude and giving, our creations expand with us exponentially. In this meditation, we will be focusing on what it is our creation has to offer the world.

When we pay attention to life, it pays attention back - it reflects the energy we put out into the world. The more we vibrate in the energy of connection and openness with life, the more serendipitous or synchronistic moments appear. As we deepen into meditation, it’s important to recognize that life truly is paying attention, and with our consciousness, we can receive miracles. In this meditation, we allow the energy of miracles to touch our creations.

When I ran a meditation school in Hawaii, the spiritual and the practical collided. I realized I needed to find more structure and practicality, and things wouldn’t just manifest without real work. Today, in this meditation, we will explore the next practical step on the path to manifesting whatever it is that we’re working on, and make a commitment to take that step.

After all the hard work we’ve put in over these last 28 lessons, we come back to recognize that at a certain point, to manifest, you just have to let go. Part of that letting go is calling your energy back from your creation, and being at peace at this moment. Today, in meditation, we focus on making this shift and release our expectations.

Henry David Thoreau said, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” As we reach the final lesson of our course, we recognize that it’s not about the thing that we are creating, it’s about the energy that we cultivate inside ourselves as we create it. All creations come and go, they live and die. But we, as beings, are on this planet to evolve and grow, and the lessons we learn, and the energy we vibrate in makes all the difference. In this final meditation, we bring gratitude for all the amazing work we’ve done, and open to our true next step in life.
