JAPA MEDITTAION WITH MANTRA

FIRST, SET THE INTENTION

INTENTION = ACTIVE ATTENTION ON A DESIRED STATE OR OUTCOME

1. Find a quiet space, where you can take a few minutes to set your intention. Take a few
deep breaths to relax into your body.
     Always take at least 20 seconds to ground yourself into present moment.

2. Ask yourself -  what do I want right now?

     What change or state are you feeling at this moment? Keep it simple and keep it
positive.

3. Visualize what it feels like when this intention manifests.

     Focus on how it feels in your heart, not how it looks in your mind. The more clarity and
emotion you put into your intention-setting, the more you will charge your intention with
power of materialization.

4. Hold a physical object - a mala, a crystal, or any other piece you will be using/wearing
daily - to anchor your feeling.
     This can be any object that you can hold or carry with you.

5. Speak your intention aloud and then write it down.

     State it as if it already happened (ie. "Selling my first piece of art feels so good!")

6. Detach from the outcome. Let it go. Make the UNIVERSE your personal manager.
