“The fundamental process of creative visualization is simply this – to imagine as clearly and realistically as possible what you want to happen, as if it has already happened or is already happening, creating an inner experience of what it would be like to have your desire come true. This process is really so simple that you can do it at any moment, just by closing your eyes and imagining your desired goal as if it were already true.” (Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain)
In Balanced Moments we have watched miracles happen to people when they have used the power of their mind to create a reality in their lives.

Sit in a quiet place, get comfortable and listen to “Finding the Perfect Job” Meditation. When done, write down your vision, as detailed as you can. Repeat this process once every day and keep writing your vision.

Chakras are energy centers or spiritual power centers located along the human body and associated with the physical/emotional/mental power of a person. There are seven primary chakras that begin at the base of the spinal column and move upward to the top of the skull. According to Eastern philosophy, the chakra system is the key to life and source of energy in the universe. Specific issues – whether physical, emotional or mental – cause imbalance in the flow of energy. This Chakra Balancing meditation can serve as a simple tool to create a daily ritual of balancing your chakras, balancing your energy.

There are 3 aspects of forgiveness: Forgiving ourselves, being forgiven and forgiving others. The focus of this meditation is forgiving others. The point of forgiving others is not to change or fix the behavior of this person but to heal your heart, to release the resentment you feel towards this person so you can move on with your life feeling peace and serenity. Before you begin, choose a person toward whom you feel resentment, find a quiet place, take your journal or a piece of paper and write down all the negative thoughts you have regarding this person. Don’t make it “nice”. Accept whatever comes up and write it down. When you are done, take a few deep breathes, sit in a comfortable position and play the Forgiveness Meditation CD. If you feel that your forgiveness is not complete yet, simply continue to practice the same routine (writing and listening to the CD) once a day, every day until you feel that you have forgiven. Then, start the process again focusing on another person you need to forgive. Make this meditation a regular part of your life to help you let go of the past and move forward into a better future.
