Glossary

Wouldnt it be nice if you could just sit down, think about what you want, and then have your desire miraculously occur? Could it be really as simple as all that?

Meditation says the magick is in the moment.

Quantum physics says thisand moreis quite possible!

If you agree, then it will be. Welcome to the world of your manifestation!

How many times have you opened your eyes first thing in the morning and slowly begun knitting together all the things you simply must do that day? By the time your feet hit the floor, you feel burdened, irritated, sluggish, and downright miserableespecially on workdays. No wonder they call it daybreakyou feel shattered even before you begin.

Where are those moments like on the television commercials where a fresh-looking person with a joyful smile laced with morning sunshine lifts themselves luxuriously from the bed with an expression of bliss?

That moment isnt in a product.

It cant be bottled, jarred, or shrink-wrapped.

It isnt stuffed in your mattress or pillow, or woven in your sheets.

That moment is actually in you.

If your mind is clouded upon waking with all the tasks you must complete this day, then the reality youve set before yourself will be tiresome, long, and filled with stress. If, however, you turn that first moment of magick into a thought of positive powerwhat then? How do you think your day will unfold?

Meditation, generally thought of as an esoteric, New Age practice for the elite few who can sit with their backs straight and legs in a perfect lotus position for hours on end, is simply an elongated thought turned into an enchantment. It is more than a tool for self-knowledge and self-improvement, though it is those things too; what we are going to focus on here is how it is a tool for daily living that can change your life and assist you in manifesting whatever you want and living the life you really want. And anyone can master the techniques to make dreams into reality.

MindLight Meditation

Right nowthis minuteI want you to put this book down and prop it so that your hands are free, but you can read along with me. Are you situated? Good!

1. Position your hands as if you are holding a small ball of glowing, white light. Take your time. Just relax and build the light between your hands. This light is a part of you and a part of the Great Work: what you will accomplish for the good of others throughout your lifetime. The light is a tool that you can use to build a healthy, positive futureand the most remarkable aspect is that this tremendous power lies in you!
2. Next, move your hands apart and together as if they are held by a giant rubber band. Open, close, open, close. Keep playing with the light and, as you do so, remember what it is like to move your hands through waternice and slow, with a gentle, flowing resistance, except here we translate that feeling through watery resistance as elasticity.
3. Add this remembered feeling of what it is like to move your hands through water to the present movement of your hands working with the MindLightin, out, in, out. Try not to go past your shoulders when you move out, because we are working on building (we dont want to scatter).
4. Keep the rubber-band motion of your hands moving in and out shoulder-width apart, then move in for the compact ball of light, and out again. Repeat. Think of nothing but the light in your hands. If you begin to worry about other things, just gently push the thoughts away. Concentrate only on the ball of light. Stay in the moment.
5. Now we add the sacred breath. As you inhale with nice, deep breaths, draw your hands together to make the small ball. As you move your hands out and away from each other, exhale with one smooth, even breath. Inhale (hands in)exhale (hands out). The slower the better. Techniques learned at a nice, slow pace stay with you longer and will be more precise when you need the power.
