Meditations for Mindfulness and Manifestation

How to use this meditation: 

• Sit in a comfortable position, with your legs crossed or feet flat on the floor. You might want to set a timer for 10 minutes so that you can focus without worrying about the time. 
• Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Repeat this 4 times.
• Continue to breath. Pay attention to just your breath, breathing in and out normally. Feel your breath coming in through your nose and out through your nose or mouth. Focus only on the breath. Do this for another 5-10 breaths.
• Now, focus your attention on your body. Notice how it connects to where you are sitting. Feel the floor beneath your feet, or the cushion or chair beneath your bottom. Notice if you feel comfortable or if your body is feeling any pain. Focus on only your body for a few moments. 
• Once you have noticed all parts of your body, focus your attention to the room you are in. Notice what the air feels like, warm or cold. Notice any smells around you. Hear any noises that are close by, such as the heating or cooling system. Focus on on the room. 
• Finally, once you have noticed everything in the room, bring your attention to anything outside the room, happening near you. You may hear other people moving around. Perhaps you notice traffic that is passing by. Music may be playing somewhere, or talking going on outside of where you sit. Notice everything that you hear (and see, if your eyes are open). Pay attention to everything that is surrounding you.
• Finally, bring your attention back to the breath. Take 5 long, deep breaths in and out, focusing only on the breath. When you are finished,  open your eyes, stretch your arms, and say a silent thank you to yourself for focusing for this short time. 

Namaste

How to use this meditation: 

• Sit in a comfortable position, with your legs crossed or feet flat on the floor. Set a timer for 15 minutes (or the length you'd like to meditate) so that you can focus without worrying about the time. 
• Keep the meditation in front of you, just below eye level so that you are looking slightly downward to read it. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth a few times. 
• When you feel relaxed, begin to read the words out loud or in your head. Repeat each sentence a few times, with a deep breath in and out between each statement. 
• Continue to repeat the sentences until the timer goes off.
• When you are finished, thank yourself for sitting in meditation, showing gratitude to yourself with a Namaste.

Manifestation Meditation

I recognize the source creator in me and ask it to bring me all of my dreams. 

I am the creator of my dreams and they are all coming true right now. 

I am healthy. I am wealthy. I have everything I need to create my best life. 

I am in alignment with the source of all good in the universe and I use it to create a life I love. 

I am the most powerful creator of my life and I use that power to create my best life. 

I am powerful, I am loving, I am creating a life I love. 

All things that I want to live my best life are coming toward me now. 

How to use this meditation:

I suggest doing this one while sitting in bed, just before you are ready to go to sleep. This meditation will help to calm your mind and prepare you for a deep sleep. 

Sit comfortably, your back propped against the wall or headboard, legs crossed and hands in your lap. Breath deeply to relax the shoulders, then read the meditation aloud or to yourself.  Note the text in italics where there is an action rather than words. 

Sleep Meditation

As the night closes in around me, I look back on my day with gratefulness. I am grateful for all that I have accomplished. I am grateful for all that the universe has offered me today, and the steps that I have taken to live a full life. 

Now, as I prepare to sleep, I slow my breath (take a deep inhale in and out) and relax my body (take a moment to physically soften your muscles).  I ask my mind to slow down the thoughts of the day and accept that today is over and I cannot change anything about it. 

I ask my mind to stop running over any thoughts of the past and focus only on the good that is coming to me in tomorrow. I prepare my mind for sleep as I acknowledge that today is over. Tomorrow will bring more opportunity and more learning. 

(Inhale deeply, exhale fully. Wait for a few moments and ensure your mind it clear, then read the entire meditation one more time)

Finally, I know that I am ready for sleep. My mind is clear, my body is relaxed, and I am grateful for having this day to learn and grow. I look forward to another day tomorrow. 

Namaste.
