good evening have you ever wanted to change something in your life yet every
time you go to make that change you find
yourself right back where you started
right back to square one and this
happened so many times that you begin to
wonder if maybe you're missing something
maybe a missing link tonight ladies and
gentlemen I want to talk to you about
how I have been able to completely
transform every single aspect of my life
through meditation it's what I believe
is the missing link so I want to take
you back ten years ago I was bartending
and a busy night club living this very
fast very messy life I drank excessively
when I was working and when I wasn't
working I was usually still drinking I
was a heavy smoker sometimes I would
smoke one to two packs of cigarettes a
day I was taking a lot of different
medications for my sleeping disorder
narcolepsy and going back even a few
more years before this time period I had
let go of an addiction to
methamphetamines I started using when I
was 14 years old and when I was finally
able to let go of this addiction what I
didn't realize was that there was still
so many pieces of me that needed to be
healed and so while I let go of the
addiction it really just transferred
into other areas of my life unhealthy
relationships unhealthy friendships
compulsive shopping torture to just my
body through eating my mental mindset
and so here I am working these late
hours living this crazy life and while
this was an all time low for me I'm
really grateful for it because it
brought me to have this inner dialogue
this inner questioning with with what
life is supposed to look like for me and
I started asking myself is this really
all that there is is this it this can be
it there has to be something more there
has to be something that I'm missing
here I just I don't know what it is I
couldn't put my finger on it so in
response to that inner questioning not
dialogue that I was having with myself
the universe responded with two things
one is this book the law of attraction
this book was really a godsend for me I
became madly in love with the material I
still love it to this day I probably
listened to the audiobook around 50 to
60 different times in a given year and I
think what I took away most from this
book was that life was not happening to
me it was happening because of me and to
really understand that on a deep level
was such a gift because here i was in my
life blaming everybody else for all the
things that were happening to me but it
wasn't happening to me it was happening
because of me the second thing that i
was gifted by the universe was this
burning desire
to really know what meditation was you
see the author's esther and jerry hicks
were big meditators and so it just
sparked this curiosity i mean i wanted
to know how it could help me it helped
them they attributed so much of their
success to meditation and so that's
where my quest started and then I
decided to really give it an honest shot
and start meditating so I started
meditating two three weeks into it I'm
wondering okay what's going on here
nothing's really happening and I got the
idea to combine meditation with the
visualization techniques I had learned
in the law of attraction in the book
surprisingly it worked it worked really
well so well that it completely
transformed my entire life into this day
I still use the same technique this is
over 10 years later guys one thing that
happened right away was that i left the
nightlife and got a corporate job a job
working for an amazing company i was
being paid well I had great benefits my
boss was awesome all of these these
wonderful things that you'd want in a
job when my husband and I were ready to
start a family I got pregnant right away
I had been taking so many medications
for so long we were positive that it was
going to take us a while but it didn't
when I became intentional and clear
about what I wanted and then meditated
on that I couldn't believe how fast it
all started to happen I was finally able
to quit smoking something I had tried
time and time and time again so many
times
and finally I was able to quit and I
picked up running I started eating
healthier my diet changed my whole life
began to transform now story that I want
to share with everyone tonight is one of
my favorite manifesting stories and
that's how I ended up in the home that
I'm in today so this is the home that my
husband and I first thought together we
embarrassingly paid way too much for
this property had a leaky roof bad
homeowners association and we bought it
right at that financial bubble and then
when that bubble burst in 2008 we found
ourselves weighing over our heads so it
got me thinking I want to use this
process my meditation in my
visualization process on a new home a
home that we can raise a family in and
so that's what I did now right around
that time we had really good friends
that purchased a home Jerry and
Elizabeth and I remember them walking us
through our new home giving us this
grand tour showing us the newly
remodeled kitchen with stainless steel
appliances and granite countertops new
bathrooms spa bath tub this beautiful
walk-in closet this awesome mango tree
in the backyard with a hammock and it
was just beautiful and I thought wow I
would love to have a house like this in
fact i'm going to use all of these
things in my meditation and my
visualization for the home that I want
so I did and I did that for quite some
time now a couple years later when my
husband and I were finally ready to buy
a home it was a Monday night and we
decided we're going to start looking
that week two days later my husband's
having dinner with his good friend Jerry
and Jerry says you're never going to
guess what I just got this amazing job
opportunity
have to move to Tennessee in like three
weeks I don't know what I'm going to do
with the house and my husband responds
well I don't know if this was a
coincidence or what but row and I just
decided that we were ready to buy a home
two days ago and we're looking and so
long story short I actually own the home
that I visualized for that whole time I
now own that home in it when I was
meditating on it it wasn't because I
wanted their home I just thought that I
would enjoy having a home like that and
look how it ended up working out I now
own that home pretty amazing now the
next story I want to share with everyone
is really it's not something that I was
intentionally meditating on it was more
or less a side effect of meditation you
see I was taking so many medications for
my sleeping disorder for years years
they controlled my life my doctor's
appointments getting refills making sure
my insurance is updated I mean just
constant constant my medications were
costing my insurance company around
eighty thousand dollars a year now when
my husband and I decided to start a
family I couldn't be taking any of those
medications and so we made arrangements
and we changed our lives around a little
bit to accommodate this and I stopped
taking all medications and then I stayed
home for a couple of years and when I
returned to work I thought okay now's
the time I'm going to have to go back on
my medication and when I tried I
couldn't believe it because I felt
horrible I felt sick the side effects
from the medication were so strong I
mean nausea headaches loss of appetite I
couldn't believe that I had gone so long
in my life with those side effects on a
regular basis
and the last couple of years have been
fine they really hadn't been that bad at
all and so I made the conscious decision
to stop taking medication I figured my
life was better with it than it was our
without it than it was with it so I want
for you guys to understand that
meditation it's not this this big thing
it's it's very simple and I think a lot
of people get overwhelmed by it but all
that it is is your attention in your
focus on something that's it it's your
focus on something you can be focusing
on your breath you can be focusing on a
mantra you can be focusing on a prayer
it could be an activity it could be an
exercise like distance running yoga
moving meditation okay so that's all
that it is it's very simple it's been
said we have anywhere from 70 thousand
to 160,000 thoughts in our minds on a
single given day that's insane to think
of how many thoughts your brain is
processing so I want for you to think of
your mind like this I want you to think
of it as the sky and I want for you to
think of your thoughts as the clouds the
blue and the sky is your your awareness
it is the bigger part of who you really
are and when you have so many thoughts
in your mind constantly racing through
your mind every single day from the
moment you wake up to the moment you go
to bed it's really hard for that bigger
picture that bigger part of you to shine
through now what meditation does is it
creates space between the thoughts
it creates space between the clouds so
that higher awareness can come in and
sleep into your life that's what
meditation does and transform so I want
to walk you guys through a meditation
today it's the exact meditation that I
did through all of this and it's very
simple it's called the counting
meditation so go ahead and set up
straight you have anything and your
hands are in your lap to set it on the
floor go ahead and have your feet flat
on the floor and place your palms face
up on your lap now what we're going to
do is we're going to breathe in through
our nose and out through our mouth but
when we breathe in through our nose I
want you to draw in your mind a big
giant white number one and on the exhale
you're going to draw in your mind a big
white number two okay so let's just go
ahead and take one zebra to kind of get
into it go ahead and breathe in through
your nose and out through your mouth
we're just going to count to ten so go
ahead and close your eyes now let's
breathe in and draw the number one in
your mind exhale draw the number 23 then
drawing the number three exhale for
breathe in five exhale six and seven out
eight drawing the number nine and exhale
10 now I want for you to keep your eyes
closed and i want for you to pay
attention to this space right here that
you've just created with those Tim
breasts you've immediately dropped your
blood pressure you've totally calmed
your energy down you created this
peaceful space right in this space right
here that's where you insert your
visualizations the things that you're
clear about that you want to creating
your life right here that's where you
insert the men go ahead and open your
eyes and come back
I want for you guys to know that it
doesn't matter what you're going through
right now it doesn't matter where you've
been or what your story is we all have a
story right if you meditate you will
change I guarantee it you will change
and as you change your life changes and
if enough of us continuously change for
the better we will change the world
thank you
