Welcome to day seven. Congratulations on completing the first week of the Chopra center 21 day meditation challenge, creating abundance. Over the past six days, we have discovered the reality and source of abundance, which is unlimited and eternal. We've learned that mind, matter and spirit, work in conjunction with one another, to manifest abundance. That in the silent field of all possibilities, dwell the seeds of success. And that when you live from within, your desires are fulfilled quickly, spontaneously, and with minimal effort. This week, we'll contemplate what we sometimes called a coincidence, a miracle, or just good luck. Ask yourself, how long does it take for a dream to come true?

In the minds of some, specific conditions must be met. Plans must be in place, a certain amount of time must pass an effort needs to be exerted. However, these conditions all spring from the physical three-dimensional world. In deeper levels of consciousness, what we call a dream, miracle, or lucky coincidence can happen in an instant. Is a lucky coincidence something that happens to some and not to others? Or is what we call luck actually the result of awareness and intention?

Having your dream spontaneously fulfilled is not a result of luck. In fact, luck is a concept invented and used by those who have not yet discovered the incredible power of living in alignment with the soul, spirit, and source.

Once you realign with your source, you will find that you can spontaneously fulfill your desires and enjoy everyday miracles. There will never be a need to worry about when or if your dreams will come true. If you hold the faith and trust that they will.

Take a moment to envision an everyday miracle you'd like to have happen in your life. Consider your circumstances as they are now and how you'd like them to be. For instance, perhaps you work as an accountant, but have always wanted to express your artistic side. Paying attention to your body, notice how you feel when you think about your current circumstances, and when you focus on your dreams. Pay attention to these feelings of comfort or discomfort, sadness, or joy. Your body's a wonderful tool to help align you with spirit. Noting how it feels helps you to make creative choices that will bring you closer to what you desire.

Now, as we prepare for meditation, consider today's centering thought:

I use my conscious intention to manifest my dreams.

Day 6: The Seeds of Success (Ram)

Welcome to day six. We are born with everything we need for a life of fulfillment and success. But often we measure our love, joy, health, vitality, and other positive qualities by comparing ourselves to someone, or something else, perhaps thinking thoughts like, “I have a loving relationship, but not as loving as my friends.” Or, “I live in a nice house, but not as big as my brother’s.” Or, “I have a good job. But I don't make as much money as my colleagues.”

Such comparisons, stem from object refer, looking outside oneself for validation. But in abundant life is not about external comparisons. Instead, a life of fulfillment comes from within—from the knowledge that you were created with everything you need to be happy and successful, and can access those seeds of abundance at any time.

Currently, all over the world, many people are experiencing difficult times. When we experience such setbacks, we sometimes feel like we'll never achieve success. Yet, in every perceived failure or setback is the seed of success. In every situation, we have new opportunities to find creative solutions for our problems, redefine our priorities, and explore other options.

We begin to view our challenges more positively once we realize that we possess the power to focus our attention on new possibilities, and possibilities for abundance are endless. There are no limits to what we can have.

Take the time to look at each situation that challenges you and find those seeds of success that will attract greater abundance into your life. As we prepare to go into silence, let's consider the abundant banquet of life that has been spread before us in all its splendor. And spend a moment focusing on this centering thought:

Everything I desire is within me.

Ram ♥

Day 5: The Field of All Possibilities (Sat Chit Ananda)

There is a saying: “You are known by the company you keep.” And through our environments, we tend to inherit the beliefs of those with whom we spend the most time. These philosophies then become part of our subconscious mind.

Research shows that we function largely with subconscious minds that have been programmed by others. As humans, we have the amazing ability to change past conditioning. We can achieve this by releasing negativity, interacting with like-minded conscious people, enjoying inspirational sights and sounds, and engaging in uplifting activities. In this way, we can develop new positive ways of living and begin to clear the subconscious of all that does not serve us.

True transformation is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention (or focus) and intention, a clear vision of a desired outcome. Attention energizes and intention transforms. What we place our attention on expands in our lives. And our intention for the object of our attention will orchestrate the forces of the universe to support our desired result. Harnessing this power of attention and intention, you can change your life to reflect exactly what you envision.

Entering into the field of all possibilities during meditation allows us to bear witness to our co-creative powers and change any situation in our lives. For instance, if you want to move from where you currently live, to be closer to the ocean, then you might envision a two bedroom home, one block from the water's edge with a vegetable garden and lawn for the dog. Being specific helps crystallize the vision. When you go into meditation, look at this intention and let it go, surrendering to the field of all possibilities, and allow the universe to correlate the details.

You are a radiant, cherished and deeply loved being imbued with the seeds of divinity and possess the power to live a life filled with love, joy, health, compassion, friends, material possessions, and whatever else you choose. Expect and accept this ultimate good and revel in the truth of your resplendent existence.

Right now, as we prepare for meditation, let's take a moment to contemplate today’s centering thought:

“Today, I embrace my potential to be do and have whatever I can dream.”

Sat Chit Ananda ♥

Existence. Consciousness. Bliss.
