Rhonda Byrne, in her book (not the movie), The Secret, tells us that, to a person, every single guest speaker in the movie practiced meditation daily. That alone tells me there must be something important going on during meditation in terms of the manifesting process. Maybe we should consider doing it.

I’ve always rather enjoyed the paradox and mystery of attitudes surrounding meditation. On one hand when we do it, we fill ourselves with love, feel better all around, and our day seems glorious. Yet when we think about actually doing it, it is more like eating brussels sprouts – we know they are probably good for us, but we can eat them tomorrow or next week. The truth is, if we look at our morning meditation in perspective, it’s more like starting the day with dessert – and I mean the really good dessert like the chocolate truffles that you get across the street from the Louvre in Paris.

Hey, I do it too. I’m better at it now, but it took decades of whining about it.

I think part of our resistance is that we get frustrated because we think we are not doing it right. Let’s lay that one to rest right now. There is only one way to do it right, your way. That’s right, everyone’s experience of meditation is totally different. It is tempting to look at someone else’s description of their experience and think you are not doing it right because you can’t do what you think they can do.

A spiritual group that I have participated in places importance on contemplation, a focused form of meditation. When these people gather they may talk about their experiences. In my mind, I group these experiences by types.

• People who see light.
• People who hear sounds.
• People who leave their bodies.
• People who travel to other worlds.
• People who study at temples of wisdom.
• People who immerse themselves in love (of God)
• People who just know things – direct perception.

Someone tends to be good at one, maybe two of the above. The thing is, they might listen to what the others can do and discount their own experiences.

I’m in the last group. I know stuff. That means whenever I want to know the answer to anything about life, the universe, and everything, it just kinda pops into my head. Pretty wonderful. The thing is, it is very unglamourous. I don’t get the cool lights or travel to exotic places. I must be doing it wrong.

I know now that if I were to put my attention on any of those experiences, the Law of Attraction would bring them to me. But they don’t seem as important now.

Here’s the deal. You really can’t get it wrong. As along as it feels good to you, you are doing it right.

Here are some tapping exercises to get you started. No set-up phrases are needed.

• I give myself permission to make meditation easy.
• I give myself permission to enjoy meditation.
• I give myself permission to make meditation fun.
• I give myself permission to make meditation a priority.
• I give myself permission to allow my experience to be perfect for me.
• I give myself permission to love myself as the being of light and love I am.
• I give myself permission to make meditation part of my daily routine.

Next: Why is meditation important in the LOA process?

Sneak preview:

I am in the process of setting up a virtual reality Law of Attraction Meditation Center in the Second Life sim. Current plans are to hold a daily 20-30 minute meditation session followed by a discussion of the Law of Attraction. In other words, we will work as a group to shrink the gap between what you are wanting and what you are getting.

Second Life gives us the opportunity to interact more or less as if we are together in person. We can talk, break off into small groups, ask questions, etc. Plus we can look really, really good. LOL

It will be funded by donations. Second Life is free to participate in.

I cannot think of a better way to make use of virtual reality. Can you?

Contact me for more information, or if you would like to get involved.
