Yesterday, I introduced the idea that meditation is great for your dream … and I talked about how to best achieve it. Here are some more ideas.
Guided meditation recordings can be a terrific solution, especially if you're new to meditation. You can just sit back, turn on the CD or the iPod, relax and let someone else take care of you for a while.
Recorded visualizations can be wonderfully targeted, too, guiding you to work on specific issues. For many years, I happily climbed into Shakti Gawain's pink bubble on her "Creative Visualizations" tape whenever I wanted to help prod my goals along.
Over the years, I've put together my own CD's for going into your creative space, and asking for help on your dream. (The key one for creativity issues is part of my How Much Joy Facilitator's Training. I also have a guided visualization that helps you tap into your Soul Purpose in life.)
The important thing, of course, is not how you meditate but that you do meditate. This is your pipeline to your dream, the work that will bring you further along your path. And the more often you do it, the more clear and fertile that channel will become.
Just pick a regular time of day to meditate and stick to it -- first thing in the morning, right before you go to sleep, just after you get home from work, even behind closed doors on your lunch hour at the office.
Once you discover the lovely, honey-light of God's essence warming your soul, it will become too hard to resist, and you will find yourself waiting for the moment each day when you can connect.
Sit back, relax, close your eyes, and enjoy!
Thanks for these last couple of posts. I have tried meditation in the past, but always felt like I was doing it wrong. After reading your blog though, I realize I'm on the right track!
BTW, I thoroughly enjoy your blog and visit regularly!

I totally agree, after years of using energy work to help other people, I am finally getting into trusting that it can help me too. My other problem was trusting, especially, trusting that something so lovely and so simple could make a difference. I try to meditate every day now, which means I do it 4 or 5 days a week.
Since doing this (less than a month), including some positive intentions and asking for help and guidance on my dream, my higher purpose; things have radically started to change for me. I cannot recommend it more highly.
The only problem now, is, I look forward to it so much, I'm starting to see it as a treat, which is something I tend to deny myself until after I've done some "work", when actually, it's best to do it before. And there, I suppose, is the next thing for me to work on.
