Meditation. Today we're meditating about money.

[Music]

I put the word out on my Facebook page for things that you may be struggling with in

the moment and more than a few of you brought up finances.

So whether you are looking for a job or you've lost your job or you have a job and you feel

like you just can't make ends meet, this is a meditation that will hopefully turn your

thinking around and bring more positive events into your life.

But remember as my personal guru Gabrielle Bernstein says, "Manifestation is not magic."

So we have to put the thoughts out there first and then we definitely have to do the work.

So let's get started on this four-minute meditation by starting our Gymboss timer and sitting

down with our legs crossed or maybe one leg in front of the other, however is comfortable

for you. You can have your hands placed gently on your thighs or on your knees or upturned

to receive the energy around you.

I like to sit up nice and tall to make sure that the energy flows through me freely. So

I bring my shoulders up over my hips, opening up my chest, allowing my chin to be parallel

with the floor and then pretending maybe that a string is pulling up my head toward the

ceiling, causing me to sit up taller.

Now there have been many times in my life even recently that I have been struggling

financially and had worries that I wouldn't be able to pay my bills or put food on the

table. So worry about finances is something that I'm very familiar with.

Just three years ago when I put my first YouTube video up about fitness, I was actually working

part-time at Home Depot as well, trying to make ends meet for the holidays.

As we move into the second minute, I want you to appreciate the fact that right now,

we are all in safe places, having this experience with each other. While we may not have a lot

of money in our wallets, in this moment, we absolutely have all that we need.

As you start to pay more attention to your breath, your inhales and your exhales, start

to repeat that in your head even if you don't believe that it's true. It's not important

that these things that we say are true. It's just important that we think them and that

we say them and we put out that energy into the universe.

So inhale. I have all that I need in this moment. I have all that I need in this moment.

I have all that I need in this moment. I have all that I need in this moment.

If you allow me to be a little hippy-dippy for a moment, think of the universe or God

or whatever spiritual guide or system you follow. Think of it as perfection, as needing

nothing. It needs nothing from us and think of it speaking that language, of all the time

knowing that it needs nothing.

Accept this offering that maybe when we come to it with a language of need or want or lacking,

that maybe it doesn't understand what we're saying. So maybe speaking words of abundance,

of believing that we have all that we need, attracts this gentle and benevolent force.

Take one last inhale and exhale. Allow your last inhale to open your eyes and hopefully,

that message of having everything that we need sticks with you throughout the day; that

even if you don't have enough money for something that you may really want or even a bill that

you really have to pay, that you know that in this moment, that you have all that you

need to be here.

Let me know how it went. Let me know what you think. Offer me more ideas for meditation

and I will see

you in a couple of days with another one. Love you guys.
