“What you seek is seeking you.” -Rumi

This past weekend, some of our Red Lotus ohana gathered for the first mind-body workshop of 2016.  We harnessed the power of visualization, meditated, clarified personal goals, and made vision boards!

Creating a vision board can be a powerful tool in manifesting the life you want.  The process will help you put dreams into a tangible form using words and pictures.  It allows you to play in possibilities and open yourself up to receiving your heart’s desire.  A dream board  is a visual representation of what you want and how you want to feel— And if you dream it, you can manifest it.  Think of it as an inspiration board that will empower you.

Here are the steps we took…

A. Meditate  

First release any resistance in your body.  Focus on your breath and feeling open and relaxed.  Meditate on what you want to FEEL to be whole and happy.  What does your highest self desire?  Joy?  Feeling loved?  Triumph over obstacles? Peace?  Imagine yourself feeling this emotion.  Let it engulf you.

B.  Journal

Imagine the emotion that we just meditated on. What makes you feel that way?  If you had no responsibilities, what would you be doing?  Who would you be with?  Where would you be?  Start with this writing prompt:  I would like to feel ___________________.

Now, write down your thoughts with abandon.  No editing.

C.  Vision Board  

Use a cork board or poster board as your base. Write out your emotion on a card and pin it to your board. Cut out quotes, photos, magazine pictures, and colors to create a collage that evokes your inspirational feeling.  Maybe there are specific categories that you would like to include, such as “relationships” or “career possibilities.”

 D.  Action Plan

Do one small thing everyday that makes you FEEL that incredible emotion.  Perhaps,you just look at your vision board and meditate on it for a moment.  Ask the universe for what you want.  You will be surprised at what happens when you live with positive intention.

Happy dreaming!
