Meditation For Prosperity

It's been a while, but I'm posting a meditation technique that I just learned. By the way, I also just discovered this website and you can check more helpful articles like this there too. Good luck with this and I'll let you know how it works for me--only tried it once briefly.

Til next time, be prepared for the best.

Background of Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Recently I have received many requests to provide a meditation technique for prosperity and wealth. The guided meditation technique in this article not only meets that requirement, but in fact does a great deal more for you as well. My views on money on the path to enlightenment and views on how to choose and manifest your desires, can be read in the following 2 articles: Money Money Money Mantra and the Path to Enlightenment and The 4 Keys Laws to Manifest Desire if You Absolutely Must. If you feel money and wealth are indeed needed by you at this time of your life, then by all means use this potent meditation technique to manifest them.
This powerful meditation technique utilizes many different components of Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Philosophy to work its magic. It uses the power of mantra (sound/thought vibration), yoga mudras (hand positions to facilitate certain states of consciousness), pranayama (breath control techniques), in conjunction with yogic body techniques to fulfill its purpose. Thus, this unique meditation can also be categorized as a Kundalini Yoga Kriya (set) or a Yoga Breathing Exercise (pranayama).
Tools required for Prosperity Meditation Technique:
An alarm clock, stop watch or other time device.
Benefits of Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Primary Benefits:
Attracts and brings to you prosperity, wealth and money.
Makes available to you the Energy of the Infinite. Please use wisely.
Attracts and brings to you gifts and blessings.
Expands and strengthens your Pranic (energetic) body.
Expands and strengthens your nervous system.
Helps you overcome deep seated fears (including fear of death) and makes you courageous.
Builds the Naval Center and abdominal muscles.
Secondary Benefits:
Opens, heals and rejuvenates the Manipura (Nabhi - Naval) Chakra.
Improves your digestive system.
Builds your willpower and strength of character.
Cautions for Practicing Prosperity Meditation Technique:
As mentioned above, this meditation technique utilizes breath control (pranayama) as part of its process. It requires breath suspension after exhalation, which is one of the more difficult aspects of breath control. Anytime you are going to practice breath suspension, especially after exhalation, you need to move forward gently and intelligently. So Do Not Strain and build up the time for this meditation systematically. In doing so you will avoid creating unnecessary problems for yourself and will gracefully gain mastery over this profound meditation technique.
Guided Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Follow the step by step meditation instructions below to practice this technique.
Sit in a comfortable cross legged position. You may also sit on a chair for this meditation.
Set your alarm or other time device for the appropriate time (start with 1 minute and build up to 11 minutes or more).
Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in, like a soldier at attention. This will align the spine with the back of your head.
Take 5 deep, slow breaths though the nose. This will oxygenate your blood and relax you.
Place your LEFT hand in Yoga Gyan Mudra (your INDEX finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 fingers are pointing straight)
Extend your left arm up at 60 degrees. Your palm is facing in towards you and the arm should be straight.
Place your RIGHT hand in Yoga Surya Mudra (your RING finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 finger are pointing straight)
Bend your right arm such that your right elbow is near your lower ribs, on the right side of your body, with your forearm making a small angle at your right elbow joint. The right palm is also facing in (and will be about face level).
Close your eyes.
Inhale deeply, then EXHALE completely and hold your breath out.
With your breath held out pump your stomach at a moderate pace about 1 pump / second. Pump your stomach means to pull in your abdominal muscles powerfully towards your spine.
With each pump silently THINK the sound HAR.
Once your have done as many pumps as you are comfortable doing, inhale deeply, then EXHALE and repeat the cycle again. Continue for the duration of the meditation.
Hints & Tips for Prosperity Meditation Technique:
I repeat, start this meditation slowly and build up your time systematically.
When you start to feel stronger and more capable of holding your breath out for extended periods of time, challenge the sense of panic that comes upon you as a result of breath deprivation. Staying calm through this period of panic will make you fearless. DO NOT TRY THIS UNTIL YOU THINK YOU ARE READY FOR IT.
Try to keep the arms as indicated and don’t give up at the first sign of discomfort. Again, don’t overdo it early in your practice, but as you progress let the mind and body know that you have the willpower and spirit to overcome their complaints.
This meditation is designed to give you a great deal of power, energy and wealth. It is provided here with the understanding that you agree not to misuse any of these blessings and agree to use them to make progress on your spiritual journey and/or use them to help others in theirs.
This concludes the Prosperity & Energy Guided Meditation Technique.

Taking The First Step

Here is the latest newsletter from Croz from Oz that I want to share. This title really says it all. Especially for me. Whenever I want to reach a new goal for myself, I have a tendency to research the idea to death. Sometimes to the point of giving up before I even start. Don't get me wrong, research is good. But at some point, you have to actually do the work involved. So these words really resonated with me. Every work of art (or brilliant invention/novel, etc.) starts in the same way: with the first step. Enjoy.

Hi All

My sincere apologies for not having contacted recently, but those of you who have been following www.thehappysecret.com will know I am helping Josh put the finishing touches to his business.

I have also had some great fun running some regular talks with a group of youngsters. The main thing that has come out of this, is how restrictive our previous programming is.

I will be uploading another series of videos onto you tube this week, that show another one of the talks www.youtube.com/user/croztalks This is a very interactive session and goes into detail, as to how we seem to accept and store advice from people who have no qualifications at all to give it.

Something that seems to stop most people starting or attempting to do anything is the thought that it cannot be done. This is self defeating and eventually this attitude starts to manifest in your everyday decisions. Most people think that achievement is just one step and that step is from the bottom to the top of a tall ladder. No one can take that step in one bound therefore why do you look at the task and reject it based on something that no one could do.

If someone has achieved what you want, just say to yourself he just started climbing the ladder ahead of me. One thing is for sure at some point he took the first step. If the ladder is really high just set your sights on a point that you feel you can reach, at least that way you will have started.

Every step you take towards your goal, will lift you to a new reality, one that will prepare you for the next step, and so it goes on.

Something else to remember is that once you are focused and heading in a specific direction, it is amazing how things keep popping up to assist you on your journey.

Do not look into the future for problems just tell yourself that you will deal with any situation as it presents

That my friends is how easy it is to dramatically change your life, JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

I am off to Koh Samui on Friday, and I will definitely write something to you all from my WORRY FREE ISLAND.

Get stepping and let me know what difference it makes knowing that you only have to do what every successful person before you has done. croz1@westnet.com.au

Abundance to All

Saint Anthony

Here is something I learned from the book, "Quantum Success" that I have to share because it really works. Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost objects and will help you find what you're looking for when you call on him. Whenever you've misplaced something just say out loud, "St. Anthony, St. Anthony, come around. Something is lost and can't be found." Do that while picturing the missing object in your mind and soon you'll know where to look. This has worked for me every time I've tried it. It took me a while to remember to use this great resource, but now that I know that I can always count on St. Anthony's help, I use it whenever I need it.

This book has several methods of using divine intervention, but so far this is the one that has worked every time for me. It's not like I hear a voice or get a psychic vision or anything. I just know where to look and I'm always right. Even for things my husband has lost. He's pretty amazed that it works so well too. Just be sure to thank St. Anthony and I'm sure he'll keep helping us find those lost keys, glasses, or anything else we need. I am so grateful for this book.

Until next time, be prepared for the best!

TAT Is Terrific!

I've got another tool in my healing kit and it's amazing. Easy too. I used it to heal one of my headaches that I sometimes wake up with--and not the hangover kind. I couldn't believe how fast it worked. I also have used it on my son a few times for his allergies and a couple of bumps and bruises. He wouldn't tolerate the tapping of EFT--he's too sensitive and it tickles him. Anyway, I also have used it successfully a few times on my husband and dog.

It's another alternative. And like I already said, it's easy and can be done by anybody. Just go to the website and try it. Click the banner here on my blog. You won't be sorry. Try it on anything.

Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Who's Complaining?

There was another segment on the evening news last week about the minister who started the complaint free movement in his town. The idea seems to be catching on and lots of people are wearing the bracelets to remind them not to complain. I'm still working on it, but I've yet to go a whole 21 days without a single complaint. It was exactly 21 days ago that I started the experiment myself. But it took the minister over 3 months to be able to do it himself, so I don't feel so bad that I can't seem to go a day without a complaint. Actually, I've probably made it at least a couple of days at a time. It's just that those old habits tend to creep in again and I find myself saying something I shouldn't.

One reason I had trouble this week is because my sister came for an overnight visit to my family--she lives a few states away--and she saw all my other sisters and our mother but not me. One of my sisters had a dinner gathering at her house on Saturday night and did not extend the invitation to me and my husband and kids. We live 6 miles from her house. My out of state sister called me last night after she got back home to apologize for not seeing me, but Eileen (who organized the get together) refused to have us over because there weren't enough chairs. I started to think, "what a bitch." But I didn't say it. It's not the first time she's done something like that. And certainly not the first time someone has used those words to describe her. It's her problem not mine. Though I certainly would have liked to have been included, I refuse to be filled with bitterness and resentment. My husband said we should not invite her to our daughter's birthday party this summer and at first I agreed, but I decided to rise above it. I don't appreciate being excluded and wouldn't do that to someone else even after they did it to me. There is no need for revenge. I forgive my sister even though she hasn't apologized (and probably won't.) She is who she is and I can't change her. I actually feel sorry for her because she puts things such as having enough chairs ahead of family. And I'm not going to second guess her reasons for doing what she does. I don't know what it's like to be her. Another thing for me to be grateful for. So I with-hold judgment--which is a major step for me. Like anything though, once you do it a few times, it gets easier. Eventually, it becomes second nature.

In that news segment they also interviewed a psychotherapist who disagreed with the whole idea of not complaining because some people need to vent. I used to think I did too but I recently read that "venting" only reinforces those negative feelings. And I agree. Otherwise, why wouldn't people get better after a few talk therapy sessions instead of going for years with little or no results in many cases. Imagine if you brought your car in for an engine problem and the mechanic told you that it would take years to fix it. Now I'm not comparing the human brain to a car engine, but it shouldn't take so long to fix problems of any kind. That's why I'm such a big fan of EFT and TAT because they're brief and effective and can be learned by anyone as self-help tools. And I can credit them both for helping me deal with past family resentments and to successfully move on from pain to gain--so to speak.

So, I will try again to go a whole 3 weeks without complaining. It's becoming a habit to stop myself in mid-complaint, so I know I'm well on my way.

Until next time, be prepared for success.
