5-Minute MPOWERing Meditation for Health and Happiness Numerous studies have shown that people who meditate regularly find it easier to give up life-damaging habits like smoking, drinking and drugs, and begin to focus more and more on good nutrition and healthy balanced living. Each day we all can afford to dedicate 5 minutes of our busy day to spend time to be with ourselves and meditate. Actually, we can t afford NOT to dedicate 5 minutes daily for this MPOWERing creative procedure! Please follow the below instruction as closely as possible knowing that the more you apply yourself to this procedure, the more benefit you will receive. The benefits are exponential based on your personal application. This truth applies to all we do in life. Therefore, let begin right now: Find a quite, peaceful place where you can go any time to be alone and silent. Find a comfortable chair to sit in and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and allow your body to take in all the air that it needs and wants. Imagine your entire body softening and all the tension flowing out of it like sand through an hourglass. Start by thanking the Universe for all the gifts and talents you have received and are enjoying in your life right now. Appreciate what you HAVE now. Appreciating where we have been is a powerful key to moving you forward along your path on your journey to self-discovery, personal freedom, health and happiness. Every situation and relationship from your past has taught you something useful, and has made you who you are today. Contemplate all those things in your life now that have outlived their usefulness. What keeps you stuck in a rut doing the same
things over and over again and getting the same results? Recognize the obstacles to achieving the changes that you choose for your life. Begin to make mental notes of all of those things that you are ready to release. And, please know that when you change your thinking, you change your life for the better, IF your thinking changes from negative to positive, that is. Let all your fears, worries, doubts, disappointments, and anger surface in your mind... envision them as a muddy, polluted stream (because that is what it TRULY is) which flows out of you as you breathe out. See yourself releasing old hurts, sadness, imbalance, and injustice in your life from the past and present. Feel them dissolving, pouring out of your body. Feel how good your feel now with all the mud and pollution dissipating. Let them all go! Release all the "should haves," "could haves," would haves, "if onlys, etc. There are many layers to let go of, so for now, let go of those things that you are able to let go of and do it gently. Just let them go and think no further about them. They do not exist any more. You have power over them and not the opposite. You are MPOWERing yourself with each layer you remove or release. The more you release and remove the more MPOWERed you become. As you free yourself from the past you open up space for fresh, honest relationships and exciting new opportunities to come into your life. It s a way of living that is based on the principle of affirmative, constructive thinking. It is what YOU make it because EVERYTHING begins in Mind first. Yes! Change your thinking and you WILL change your life! This principle is very useful and applies to every aspect of your life health, happiness, family, education, business, social situations, love relationships, etc. It brings peace, love, compassion and harmony to all with whom you come in contact with now and in your future. It will literally make your dreams come true, IF you believe in it.
So, as the old energy flows out, FEEL a new lightness, FEEL a new power and vitality entering into your mind and body opening up space for compassion, for forgiveness, for love, for prosperity, for health, for happiness and success. FEEL MPOWERed! Invite into your mind and consciousness those people who are able to respect and honor your new growth and positive change. Be the change you want to see! Feel the change you want to see! Live it! Live it now! Now is all you have. Stay in the now the present moment. Mentally stay in this new space for a short time, opening your heart and mind expressing gratitude for the opportunity to grow and move forward in health and happiness. Honor and acknowledge yourself for the courage to clear out the clutter and debris from your mind and let go. Honor and acknowledge others also as being in the same light as you now. See them differently now. See them now for who they are just as you, each and every one a child of the Universe. Now imagine that you can breathe in the qualities that you need for this new part of your life. Breathe in courage to be true to yourself. Just breathe it in. Breathe in patience, discipline, spontaneity; anything that you feel would assist you in this new beginning. See yourself as strong, healthy, happy and positive because you truly are! This state of mind is natural for you. It s your birthright as a child of the Universe. Remember this always, Believing is seeing, and NOT the other way around! Therefore, mentally picture what you would like to receive in your life and imagine yourself easily receiving these gifts. Feel yourself now radiating with positive energy, health and happiness as you attract new people, ideas and positive situations into your life. See yourself joyful, happy and content with this new reality. BE and FEEL happy and healthy NOW! This is the secret to The Secret! It is the shortcut to getting what you truly want! Embrace this truth.
Now, slowly begin to deepen your breaths. Gently move your fingers and toes. Gently begin to turn your head from side to side. Keeping your eyes closed; take three final deep MPOWERing breaths. When you are ready, you may open yours eyes. Feel refreshed and rejuvenated in every way. Now you are ready to do what needs to be done and that only YOU can do! Again, thank the Universe for how you are feeling now. Go forward now with the knowledge and truth that you are a bit farther along your path to self-discovery, health, happiness and personal freedom. Enjoy it! You so deserve it! Believe it because it is the truth. Remember you are a child of the Universe and deserving of all good things. Lastly, we wish you many, many more blessings in good health and vitality for a Happy New Year, a Happy, Healthy New You and an MPOWERing new life filled with the expectancy of more good and more progress on your path!
