Creating and Manifesting: A Guided Meditation

by Jeanie Marshall

"Creating and Manifesting: A Guided Meditation" supports you in focusing your attention on a specific area of manifestation. Included is a brief guided meditation that you can read for yourself for a brief sampling of one of Jeanie's approaches to guided meditations.

Here is a guided meditation written just for you. As you read in for yourself in the first person, you will understand why this is designated as a meditation (for me). You may want to make a recording of this, just for you.
Meditation Instructions and Comments

Relax

Find a comfortable place, sitting or lying down, where you can be fully relaxed and fully open to the ideas and the energy of this guided meditation. After settling down and before reading, take three long, deep breaths to calm and clear yourself.

Purpose of this Meditation

The purpose of this guided meditation is to help you to focus your attention on an area of manifestation. You will find it helpful to identify the area and to reduce it to a single word or very brief phrase in advance of reading the guided meditation.

Words and phrases like these work best: career or job, slim body, healthy lungs, clarity, communication with boss, satisfying relationship with spouse. Keep it simple and non-manipulative. After you have worked with the meditation several times, you may find a different approach works better for you.

Reading this Meditation

This guided meditation is designed for you to read aloud for yourself. I have used "......" to indicate a pause, during which time you may choose to be quiet or close your eyes and experience whatever comes to you. The ...... may look awkward as you glance at the page. However, when you are reading the meditation it serves as a reminder to slow down generally and pause at that place.

In parentheses are words in italics to alert you either to make a choice or to say the word or phrase or idea that you have selected as suggested.

Written Meditations

One of my hesitancies about presenting my meditations in writing is that I know they are not just words. I often say within the context of a meditation that the words are relatively unimportant. I work with energy as I speak the guidance in the meditations. I know that my ability to work with energy is far more of a gift than the words -- which can only slightly represent or re-present deeper meaning. So, with courage, I give you this.
The Meditation

I pay attention to my breathing...... My breath is always with me...... As I breathe in, I breathe in the light, I breathe in illumination...... As I breathe out, I breathe out anything that I do not desire or need...... I let each breath take me deeper and deeper within...... I let my breath take me to the silent place within, to the depth, to the core of my being......

As I move to the silent place within, I easily let go of distractions from the outer world, from today's experiences. As thoughts float through my head, I acknowledge and release them...... As noises in my environment remind me of the outside world, I acknowledge them with an instant's attention and then return to the inner, silent place...... As feelings come up, I notice and acknowledge them and turn again to that inner place......

Again, I let my breathing assist me. I breathe in light and breathe out heaviness...... I breathe in clarity and breathe out confusion...... I breathe in peace and breathe out disharmony...... I breathe in and I breathe out, becoming more at peace and more relaxed......

I open "at the top." I open at the crown center just above the top of my head. I see or imagine that I see a ball of energy sitting above my head. I welcome this vibrant, healing, beautiful energy as it flows in and flows downward...... It helps me to feel lighter and freer...... As this energy moves into all the layers and levels of my being, I find it easier to give up dark density, to give up anything that is unkind or heavy or uncomfortable...... I let go easily with each out-breath.

As I continue to bring this energy from the higher planes into my awareness, I bring it right down through my physical body......, down to my heart space......, down to my waist......, down to my ankles......, down to the bottoms of my feet......, and down to the center of the earth...... This establishes a flow of energy, a path, so that blockages are easily and effortlessly removed, dissolved, dissipated......

As energy from above is anchored down deep into the center of the earth, I open "at the bottom" -- at the bottoms of my feet and the base of my spine...... Earth energy flows upward...... This rich, dense earth energy replaces and even displaces dark density that is released because of the light from above...... I feel (sense, see, intuit, hear, imagine) this energy flowing through me.

Now, in the middle of this centered, clear place, I give my focused attention to the purpose of this guided meditation: (Say the word or phrase you have identified.) ...... I see (feel, sense, hear, intuit) this word (phrase) as I call it forth as the focus of my attention right now...... Nothing else matters. All that matters right now in this moment is (the idea) -- which is the focus of my attention. I feel it..... I look at it...... I turn it upside down and inside out. I dance with it and play with it. I let it move through my fingers and toes. I know it is a word that represents and re-presents a deeper idea......

I turn my attention again to my breath...... I breathe deeply. I breathe (the idea) into my cellular structure...... I allow (the idea) to transform itself into a seed which I can hold in my hand...... As I gently hold this precious seed in my hand, I till the soil, rake away debris, remove stones and rocks and blocks which might interfere with the growth of this seed...... Some of these fragments can be used to feed the soil or protect the seed. My consciousness creates life. This seed is ready for planting.

In my mind's eye, I see the perfect place to plant the seed (a garden, my heart, a forest, my mind, my hand, an apple orchard, my feet, my office, etc.)..... This seed germinates according to my consciousness. I let it grow instantly or over time, at exactly the perfect rate of speed and depth and height. My love fertilizes the seed. I am creating (the idea).

Again, I turn my attention to breathing deeply, moving myself to a deeper state of consciousness...... Deeper within..... Deeper into the silence..... Deep into the core of my being...... I see (feel, hear, sense, smell, intuit) the seed at a deeper level now, moving into its essence. I merge with its vibration, its radiance......

I present my seed to the universe so that it can become a seedling that grows into (the idea). I send my seed through the ethers so that it may be returned to me manifested as (the idea). I let it go...... I let go of control. I let go of trying to make this seed grow and, instead, allow it to grow by nourishing the soil, listening to my soul, and honoring the purity of my heart. It is planted.

As weeds sprout, I tend to them immediately. If I feel sorry for myself or get angry or compare myself to others or entertain doubt, I stop to pull these weeds joyously...... I am responsible for the growth of this seedling and for protecting it from strangulation. I snip the weeds, without resorting to poison so the seedling can grow without toxicity. I see (feel, imagine) the seed grow, right now in this moment...... I feel its growth either inside me or outside me. It is from me. It is my creation...... I am creating (the idea).

Each day I return to the seedling in a way that fits for me...... As I check on the seed, I am careful not to pull the seedling from the fertile soil. I bring it water by allowing my emotions to propel its growth...... I bring it sunshine and light through my intention, enthusiasm, fire and desire for (the idea). I strengthen the soil by remaining grounded and steadfast. I bring it air by breathing deeply, with the intention of growing the seed. And most of all, I bring it my love...... I feed it love...... I trust the seed that is planted in fertile soil to grow from a seedling into the only form it can become: (the idea), just as the only mature form of an acorn is a mighty oak. A carrot grows from a carrot seed......

I begin to turn my attention to my next activity. (Other reading, meditation, sleep, work, etc.) ...... I turn my attention there effortlessly, trusting my seed to the Universe. I take three deep breaths. Each in-breath breathes in the light and each out-breath breathes out anything I do not need ot want. On the third exhalation, I move into that next activity either by feeling alert and refreshed or by going into a deep meditation or sleep.
