How to Take Meditation to the Next Level for Success
/We live in stressful times and to combat stress it is a wise idea to have a regular meditation practice in order to calm your mind and your body. After all, meditation has been proven to relieve anxiety, lower blood pressure, relax the mind and increase mental focus.
Meditation is also a great tool for envisioning the life that you desire to manifest. If you are not envisioning the life that you want to create, chances are that you are living in survival mode, working paycheck to paycheck for others and struggling to keep up with your bills. With meditation you will be able to guide yourself to a life of contentment and abundance. It’s all up to you.

Envisioning Your Life Through Meditation
At the beginning of this summer I joined Danny Morel’s mastermind group called, “The Tribe.” My coaches in this inspiring group constantly emphasize the importance of starting each day with meditation and so I have made this a mandatory part of my daily routine. This practice not only helps me to focus my mind and envision winning my day, it is also helping me to envision the dream life that I am currently working toward and manifesting.
Olympic runners who win gold medals often envision crossing the finish line first. They rehearse the race in their minds and feel the incredible rush and elation that they will feel when they win the race. The unconscious mind does not know the difference between what’s real and what is created in the imagination. By tapping into our subconscious minds, we teach our bodies and our minds how to manifest the win.
I’ve been practicing this method of meditation first thing when I wake up in the morning and a second time just before I fall asleep. Not only does it help me to create my future, it also relaxes me for a good night of sleep.
Meditation is a practice that takes time to master. Many people struggle to calm their minds when they start out and they get discouraged. Stick with it, however, and over time it will work powerfully for you.
The Silva Mind Method - Meditation
I’m currently having great success both meditating and envisioning while listening to the following guided meditation on YouTube titled, “MANIFEST NOW! The Silva Mind Method: Guided MEDITATION [Laura Silva].” You can listen to it by clicking on this link:

What I love about this meditation is that it quickly guides my mind to relax into alpha waves. This is the phase of brain wave activity which is close to sleep, but still awake. In alpha the mind is relaxed and very creative. It is also conducive for tapping into the quantum field of infinite intelligence where you can download new ideas. For me, I feel like it is a form of hypnosis where I can freely envision without mental resistance whatever intention I desire to manifest such as my future custom home.

Recently I was brainstorming design concepts for t-shirts for the documentary film that I am currently producing about the healing power of yoga, breathwork and meditation. On my own my ideas felt cliché, but in meditation I received several brilliant concepts that were next level. In life we can try to force our creativity on our own, or we can co-create with the help of divine intelligence to conceive more powerful results.

Now it is your turn to try the Silva Mind Meditation Technique while listing to the video that I provided above and bring your meditation practice to the next level.
Lie down on your bed and wear headphones or ear buds to listen to the video. Don’t use any pillows under your head for better breathing, and if there is light in the room, wear a sleeping blindfold over your eyes. Get comfortable and take in a couple deep breaths to start the relaxation process before starting the video. Also think about the intention that you want to visualize for the day or for your life. The key is to allow yourself to relax through your breathwork and also by following the calming instructions in the video. I’m discovering that the more that I do this meditation, the quicker that I go into the alpha brain wave states and the more powerful my visualizations of my intentions become.
There are few winners in this world, because very few people put in the work or have the mental and emotional tools to become high achievers. Meditation is one of those special tools that will help you to tap into your genius, become a high achiever and also manifest your dreams.
Thank you for taking time to read this blog. Let me know if you meditate and if this guided meditation works well for you.
Happy meditating,
Paul Garrett
