Many people repeat self-defeating patterns throughout their life over and over again, and the sad thing is, most of us don't even realize it. For some of us it's broken relationship after broken relationship and others its limiting thoughts that create obstacles whenever a life-changing opportunity arises. We then blame our circumstances or our upbringing, pretty much accepting that our lives are completely out of our control. However, I want to let you know that you can manifest desires if you take the right action. Desires? What desires, you say. The desires that you long ago let go of because you just couldn't see any possible way you could fulfill them.
We are all searching for happiness and something to bring meaning to our lives. The majority of people find short term happiness in material possessions which get replaced again and again such as cars, houses, stereos and the like. Whereas the rest of us look for peace and fulfillment in a more spiritual and natural way, admittedly some of us because we just can't afford doing it the other way!
Now comes the point of this article. If you want to manifest desires in a more spiritual and fun way through practices such as using The Law of Attraction, praying and visualization, then you must first build a strong foundation which won't crumble once the real building begins. When any new building is being built, the builders don't just find a nice piece of ground and then proceed to construct upon it because the building would be uneven and eventually collapse. In the same way, you can't just start using Law of attraction techniques and expect them to work when you are still stuck in self-defeating patterns and full of limiting thoughts. You might last a few weeks, but once you see no results the whole thing comes crashing down and you feel even worse than before. I know because I've been there and it wasn't pleasant.
You need to clear your mind of the limiting beliefs first and learn to quiet your mind so that you can get to know who you really are under all those insecurities and fears.
Meditation is the perfect place to start on your path to manifesting your desires and living a happier life. Yes, meditation does require dedication and determination but once you do it a few times it gets easier and you begin to see results. By results, I mean you will find that instead of your mind controlling you with a constant stream of chatter and habit patterns, you gain control and are able to quiet your mind and become more peaceful and calm. To manifest your desires, you first need to be calm and at peace in your mind, leaving room for you to begin asking yourself, what it is you REALLY want. Do you see what I mean? If you gain control of your mind and your emotions then you will be able to use the law of attraction. The law of attraction requires you to focus on and picture your desires within your minds eye. A clear calm mind means a crystal clear picture of what you want, allowing for your desires to be achieved so much more quickly.
There are many great meditation programs out there that could get you onto the right track and help you to get what you want out of life as well as find your true purpose. Or alternatively just play some calm music and meditate while playing it in the background. Focus on the melody and flow with it and this will help to stop your mind from wandering off. Meditate once a day every day for 5-10 minutes at first and then when you feel ready 15-20. You WILL see results and you WILL become a calmer person who is ready to focus on their desires.
