Tip of the Day

Michael Neill's Tip of the Day

I'll be honest with you - I'm a lousy meditator. For me, meditation falls into the category of one of those things I know is supposed to be so good for me that my "inner teenager" rebels against the whole idea of it. One meditation powerful enough to mature my inner teenager ("maturity" being defined as being willing to do what you want even if your parents want you to do it as well :-) comes from India via Wayne Dyer - you can read more about it in the book Manifest your Destiny (there's an excellent Nightingale-Conant tape set as well!) He recommends doing it every day for twenty minutes at sunrise and twenty minutes at sundown. While I'm sure this is an excellent discipline, I've gotten some pretty phenomenal results (money, new clients, acting work, etc.) doing it erratically for as long as I feel like it whenever I happen to remember. Here's how it works....

Morning Meditation
1. Breathe in with your attention on your perineum (between the front of your bottom and the back of your bottom is about as nice as I can say it!)

2. Exhale on the sound "Aaaaaah" with your attention on your "third eye", the point between your eyebrows. (That's "aaaaaaah" as in God, Father, Ja, Adonai, and just about any other culture's name for God you can think of!)

3. As you do this, think about all the things you want in your life as if you've already received them. (The better this feels, the better it works!)

4. Continue for as long as you like. Gradually get softer and softer until the "aaaaah" is silent. Keep shifting your attention between the perineum and third eye as you breathe, and maintain the feeling of already having what it is that you want.

5. When you are ready, allow the "aaaaah"s to get louder and louder until you are back to full volume.

6. Finish with the word "Sha-Lom", which is both the hebrew word for peace and a combination of the sound of God ("aaaaah") and the sound of the universe ("aum").

Evening Meditation
1. Breathe in with your attention on your perineum (between the front of your bottom and the back of your bottom is still about as nice as I can say it!)

2. Exhale on the sound "Aum" with your attention on your "third eye", the point between your eyebrows. (The sound "aum" is believed in many cultures to be the noise you will hear the universe making if you ever get really, really quiet!)

3. As you do this, think with gratitude and appreciation about all the things you want in your life that you already have. (The better this feels, the better it works!)

4. Continue for as long as you like. Gradually get softer and softer until the "aum" is silent. Keep shifting your attention between the perineum and third eye as you breathe, and maintain the feeling of gratitude and appreciation for already having what it is that you want.

5. When you are ready, allow the "aum"s to get louder and louder until you are back to full volume. 6. Finish with the word "Shah-Lom", which is both the hebrew word for peace and a combination of the sound of God ("aaaaah") and the sound of the universe ("om").

Have fun (and let me know what you're manifesting!)
