This next lecture is borrowed from one of my earlier courses, guided meditation, the ultimate guide for beginners part two. So please enjoy different kind of creating art expression of creativity that can come from meditation. And that is it's called creating your own life or in spiritual circles. It's called manifesting. And so this is when the creative process can be applied to anything, anything in your life like health, relationships, finances, or even, you know, mundane physical needs like buying a car or a home. And it can be also applied to performance results not only in the creative arts, but to things like sports, and this is where it's called creative visualization.
Now there are some very specific techniques to learn and to know about visualizing your life as you want it, the first thing to do is to go into a deeply relaxed, meditative state. So that's something we're becoming very good at in the course of this class. Second thing to do when you're in that deeply relaxed state, is to visualize the object of your desire, and to keep it realistic. So you want more abundance in your life. You know, don't say like, I want to be a billionaire, because, you know, chances are that's outside the realm of realistic pneus. So, visualize more abundance, Amy want to make 30,000 more dollars a year in your career, whatever.
And then imagine yourself in that meditative state while you're meditating, that you're in the future, and they already have it. So, you know, be there as if it's already happened in your mind and to feel it deeply. And then create with that vision or that you have that creative vision That you have a feeling this is where it's important of knowing it will happen. So it's like this unshakable sense of confidence that this thing is coming to you no matter what. And then after you leave your meditative state, you can visit that in meditation anytime you want. But when you're done, just forget about it and then go act about it.
Go act in your life as if it's already happened. So if you want a new car, go start looking for a new car, just start test driving new cars that are ones that you like. And it's important to notice that as you engage in this process of creativity, of manifesting, that there is a chance that you have any resistance or any suppressed emotion from the past that is in between you and your objects desire that, that that those may come up. So you may have a suppressed emotion that comes up fear, anger or whatever, and you may have to heal that in order to manifest To a desire. And it's always important to remember in the back of your mind that you cannot override the free will of the person. So you can't make somebody fall in love with you or something like that.
And another thing that may present your manifestation from happening is that if your desire isn't in alignment with with who you are as a person, it can either slow the process down or stop it completely. So an example of that would be like a few years ago, I thought I'd go back and do some work as a geologist. However, that line of work, no longer was in alignment with who I was as a person. So leaving home for long periods of time and being in mineral resource extraction thing on the planet just didn't fit who I was. So I ended up not getting a job. And so if I was honest with myself, I could I could obviously recognize that as I was going through the process, I didn't feel good about it.
So didn't come to fruition. And then in the in the manifesting portion of things, you know, how long does it take for your desire to come to you? And the answer to this is it can vary greatly. So for instance, when I was trying to manifest a new truck and new truck, I sat and meditated for a few days, and I had a new truck in about about two days or so it didn't take very long. And I've had for 16 years, it's been one of the greatest purchases I've ever made. But when I was single, and I wanted to be in a relationship, and I was trying to manifest a new mate, because my life had all these circumstances attached to it, and because hers had all these circumstances attached to it, it took a while for all those conditions to be met for the stars to align up in the you know, in the right places, and that that that took about four years, but it did happen.
So So when we think of creativity, it's important to recognize That we are opening the doors to the higher aspects of living. And this is where meditation gets extremely exciting, extremely magical things get synchronistic sync synchronistic. And then we can take that creativity and we can release it and be involved with it deeply in the creative realms, like the traditional creative realms like art and music. Or we can apply it to the very specifics of our life to benefit our life greatly to enter to be influential in creating our own lives. So So take a look at the summaries frequently asked questions, do your homework, because now it's getting really fun. And then we'll move right on to the exercise and the meditation of manifesting.
So thank you
