How To Meditate Your Way To Your Desires

Meditation is a tool that far too few people use to achieve their desires. It is often viewed as simply something to help you create calmness in your life.

And while there is nothing wrong with that, hey, we could all use more calmness in our lives, meditation can be used in a much more powerful way than that.

We all have dreams, wishes and desires. We all have something that we are striving for. That is simply the human condition. We’re built that way.

Yes, we can be content and satisfied where we are, and that’s a good thing, but we are here to create more and more. Striving is a result of that innate desire in all of us to reach for more.

We create new desires every single day. Some of them bigger than others, some of them seemingly extremely minute. But some of our desires are huge, and can seem unachievable, and unrealistic.

That’s where meditation can help you. Meditation can clear that which is blocking you from getting the results you want.

Let’s say you want a better career. Let’s even say you feel like you have a calling; a special talent that you know you’d be good at. But success has been out of reach.

Here’s how you can meditate on this.

Define what it is that you want: a new career, better health, a loving relationship, more travel, more freedom, any of the above and more.

Pick one thing.

Now when you think of that one thing, imagine how it would feel to have it. Don’t think about how it feels not having it, you already know that and it’s not serving you. Focus on the feeling of having it.

Connect with your spirit guides by inviting them to join you in your meditation. I always do this before starting meditation and I’ll write another post on how it not only inpsires me but also physically affects me to do this.

Inviting your spirit guides introduces a loving, supportive and powerful presence into your meditation practice. The point of meditation is to connect to the power of the Universe, so what better way of doing that, then by inviting it in?

To invite my spirit guides in, I use this sentence, which I got from Esther Hicks when she described how she first connected to her spirit guides. I tweaked it a bit to make it more personal, so here it is.

“I, Anne, see and draw to me, within divine love, those beings seeking enlightenment through my process. The sharing will elevate us all now.”

Then I say “Hi guys, let’s do this.”

I get goosebumps every time I do this. In fact, just writing about it gives me goosebumps.

It’s when I do this that I feel connected and ready to quiet my mind. With my eyes closed I try and focus on something innocuous, like the ticking of a clock, or traffic outside, or birds chirping. This clears my mind of intrusive, unhelpful thoughts.

Once I’m able to spend a few minutes this way, I start to introduce feeling. I think of how my desire, if attained, would make me feel. And that is what I focus on. The feeling.

Once I spend a few minutes enjoying the feeling of it, I start to visualize myself doing or attaining that which I desire. I visualize myself happy, joyful, loved and relaxed.

Spend a few minutes in this space. Give it as much detail as you can, but mostly, enjoy the process.

Then, when you’re ready, ask your Spirit Guides to give you the right people, inspiration, and opportunites to attain your goal.

It’s step a lot of people don’t take: asking for help. It’s a powerful tool, but make sure you say “Thank you” afterwards. Giving thanks implies gratitude in faith in the outcome you’re asking for.

Then, you can end of your meditation practice. But what comes next is the hard part:

Waiting, but wait you must. It will unfold in its own time and the Universe always knows the best way. If you lack the patience, then ask for it. See the above paragraph asking for help.

A good tool to help you with your patience is to look for a sign. I wrote an earlier article on how to do this which you can find here.

Picking a sign to show you that you’re on the right path is the Universe’s way of saying “you got this, and so do We. It’s coming, just have faith.”

When you have this faith, then it becomes easier to take action when the spirit moves you. When you feel inspired to do something, then know that you are inspired by the Universe. Take that action and see where it leads you. It’ll be the first step on your way to your dreams.

And remember always, you are loved, you are supported, and you are blessed. This is always the case — always. You got this.
