Holding The Vision
by Cheryl Vallejos, CPBA, CPVA
There are various steps to creating, attracting and manifesting your desires. Initially, you need to be crystal clear about what you want. Then you can use various methods and disciplines to bring your desires into your life. Affirmations, visualization, journaling, positive self-talk and raising your vibrational energy are all tools you can use to draw to you your highest goals and visions.
While knowing what you want and asking for it are essential to manifesting, so is holding the vision. You may say affirmations every morning then go about the rest of the day doubting your words. Or you might focus on too many goals at once and lose your focus and clarity on the most important ones.
How can you more effectively hold the vision?
- By cleaning house! That is, cleaning the house of your mind. Just as you delete old files from your computer to make more space and clear the clutter, so do you need to clean the thoughts and beliefs from your mind that do not support your vision.
- One of the most effective ways to do that is through meditation. You don't need to have a mantra, although it does increase effectiveness, you don't need to sit cross-legged and you don't need to climb into a cave! Meditation can be done any time, anywhere-it's a totally portable tool that calms, quiets and focuses your mind so you can be more creative in attracting your goals and dreams.
- If you're totally new to this practice, start by meditating each morning for five minutes and increase the time or frequency as you get more comfortable with it. The easiest way to begin is to find a comfortable, quiet location where you won't be disturbed. Then close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply focusing only on your breath. Let any thoughts that arise-and there will be many-float away on a cloud or a river. It's okay to notice the thoughts, just don't spend any time with them.
- After five minutes, read your major goals or just your goals for that day. When you focus on what you want to create with a clear, quiet mind, you have all the power of your mind working for rather than against you. What you will find is that your days begin more peacefully and you will carry that calm throughout the day. And you will see your desires coming to you effortlessly!
