Meditation.

Today I'm changing it up a bit and I'm teaching you how to make your very own meditation.

So you won't even need me anymore. It will be great. You can even teach your friends.

I'm especially excited about today's video because I have three very fun things that

I get to share with you.

First, I am bringing you out to my meditation oasis on the back acres of Bex Life Farm.

This is my meditation platform where I go to get away from it all.

Two, I have a mantra challenge for you that I really want you to join and share with your

friends. It's 21 days long. You can join at any time. You just have to click on the top

link in the video description or at the link at the back of this video.

Number three, I'm teaching you how to meditate on your own. Now I still want you to come

back and visit me but I want you to also be able to create beautiful things for yourself

and also to teach your friends how easy it is to meditate, to find peace and to find

happiness and get blissed in every single day.

We're going to start with the very basics of meditation. Meditation simply means to

contemplate, to focus your attention on one thing and hopefully when you're focusing your

attention on one thing, you start to focus on no things and you drift away into a state

of bliss.

You don't have to be in a bubble for meditation. I know that things are going on all around

you and your lives are very busy. So wherever you can get quiet, just for a few minutes,

is the perfect spot.

I have a meditation platform but most of the time I'm just hiding out in my laundry room,

in my car in the driveway or a quiet spot in my bedroom during the day. So wherever

you can be quiet even if it's at your desk at work and you can close your eyes and just

tune out for a few minutes, that's the place for you.

I also want you to be alert during meditation. So if you could just sit up nice and tall

with your shoulders right up over your hips and a straight line from the crown of your

head all the way down to your seat, that would be ideal.

You can do this by inhaling your shoulders up to your ears and exhaling your shoulder

blades down your spine.

You can have your hands downturned on your knees or upturned to receive the energy around

you. This is the perfect meditation posture. You may also have your legs crossed like me,

one foot in front of the other in half lotus or full lotus, whatever works for you.

Now let's get to the nitty-gritty of making your own meditation. I have two parts to this

and one was gifted to me from a good friend Erin Stutland who has a program called Shrink

Session which is an amazing exercise program that incorporates mantra and dance. It's so

much fun and the second part is an offering just from me to you.

I want you to make a list of all the things that you desire most. It could be the most

ridiculous list of the most ridiculous things that you're afraid to even say out loud. Just

10 things, 10 things that your heart desires that you really, really want.

It could be financial. It could be about love. It could be relationships. It could be about

your job. It could be about the way you look. Anything your heart desires is going on this

list right now and don't be shy.

Even if you're afraid to share these, I would love for you to share just one with me in

the comments below. We're going to call this the "gold digger list" because that's what

Erin calls it and I think that's just a great list because it's just like these outrageous

things that you want.

You could say, "I want a tighter butt," "I want to make a million dollars this year,"

"I want to meet the man of my dreams and have him take me on a vacation to Bali."

Any of these things, it starts with "I want". You're going to write this list and you're

going to keep it and put it aside.

Now manifesting is about bringing things into your life that you want. But there's also

a key component that a lot of people forget and that's about what we have to give.

When we give, we get back so much. What do you have to offer the world? What makes you

special? What do people thank you for? I want you to think about all the things that you

can share with the world that when it comes back around, it's going to help you to get

that stuff on your gold digger list even faster.

Think about your best qualities and this is going to be the next part of the list, 10

things that start with, "I have to offer". I have to offer my sense of humor. I have

to offer my love. I have to offer kindness. It could even be very specific things like

I have money to give. I can give a little bit to charity, $5, $10, $1000. I can give

my time. I could volunteer at the local school.

So put 10 things on this list and there are your mantra meditations. I want you to focus

on one thing from your gold digger list and then a corresponding item that maybe would

complement that item on your give list and I want you to repeat these things over and

over and over again during your next four-minute meditation.

I want to make a million dollars this year. I have to offer my time to my local charity.

Now it might not make sense at first. But believe me, when you're giving constantly,

the universe recognizes that and it wants to give back. There is a force behind all

of us that's cheering us on that wants to propel us forward and wants us to have all

that we desire. So I want you to try this out. I want you to do it even if it feels

silly and I want you to share those mantras in the comments below.

Then I also want you to sign up for my 21-day challenge and tell me how that goes and share

it with all of your friends. I know you're going to love it. It's 21 mantras delivered

to your inbox every single day. You could start at anytime. There is no deadline. There

is no start date and I make everything very easy for you because meditation is meant to

be easy.

I love you guys and I will see you soon in another Bex Life video.

[I hope you're all inspired to make your own mantra meditations. But I would still love

you to sign up for my 21-day Mantra Challenge by clicking on the screen or on the first

link in the video description. I love you guys. I will see you soon and keep those requests

coming.]
