One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of a transition- whether it’s a week, a month, a year, or just a new phase in life - is to meditate on my goals, dreams, and desires. This is a process that requires me to get out of my head and into my heart, where my soul’s knowing and true guidance lies. On a mind level, it’s easy to map out certain things that I want to create, do, have, or be. Sometimes these things stem from my ego and may not necessarily be what’s best for me even though I may think they are. In these instances, I acknowledge these desires, but in the end, always surrender my plan to the Divine plan, trusting that what’s for my highest and best good will come about.

We are powerful co-creators of our life experience. Everything is made up of energy, vibrating at different frequencies, including our spiritual selves, while in this human experience. Our thoughts and behaviors hold an energetic vibration - be it positive, negative, or anywhere in between - and according to the Law of Attraction, the Universe responds to the energy we put out there, directly reflecting the quality of our life experience. So whether you’re putting positive thoughts and feelings out there, focusing on what you want, or if you’re focusing on all those unwanted things, whatever you’re giving your attention to, the Universe is recording and responding to.

It’s always good to check-in and do an inventory of where we are in our life and how we feel about it. Whether we’re feeling good about our present reality or experiencing ongoing lack and frustration, our current experience indicates the quality of thoughts, feelings, and actions we’ve been creating on a daily basis. The good news is that by simply becoming aware of our energetic vibration and consciously making choices from a place of love, we can raise our energetic vibration and shift the direction of our lives toward our best good and highest potential. This shift in intention and energy can propel our goals, dreams, and desires into Universal manifestation. It all comes down to our intention and positive expectation to make it so. This doesn’t mean we can simply intend it and then sit back and do nothing. It is up to us to meet the Universe halfway, doing our part in the deal to actualize our goals and then handing it over to God and our Guides, surrendering the outcome and trusting that whatever is meant to be will come about in Divine timing and order. This is not always an easy task given our ego’s need to control or know all the details involved, but it is a humbling experience that further assists our soul's spiritual growth.

You may be wondering what my process is in doing my part to co-create my future destiny. The following is my step-by-step guide that I use on a daily basis, and one that I have found works well for me. The evidence lies in the speedy and consistent results I’ve gotten over the years by putting this practice to the test. I encourage you to try it for yourself, taking what works for you and leaving the rest. Over time, you’ll customize a process that best supports and fulfills your needs and desires to experience and live your best life.
