energizes the space with your intentions even more powerfully. When you are in your space looking at your board, you are able to generate more focus and energy toward your dreams, so they become reality. When creating a vision board, choose imagery and words that elicit feelings of abundance and prosperity. Mantras & Affirmations An effective practice that can help you connect to your spiritual self and rewire your brain is saying and writing mantras or affirmations. A mantra can be a single word or sound repeated over and over to aid in concentration for meditation. Affirmations are motivational statements or slogans written or spoken in present tense using positive words. It is imperative to make it a daily practice to repeat the affirmation to yourself throughout the day. You might want to write it on a piece of paper that you put in a place that you see frequently such as in your car, on your bathroom mirror or at your office. You can also write the affirmation repeatedly each day to hard-wire it into your mind. The more you work with it, the more it becomes a part of your life. Meditation and Visualization There are many different ways to do meditation. For creating abundance, I recommend to focus on your specific dreams and goals. You can say mantras or affirmations while meditating to enhance your experience. Clearly visualize what it is you want to call forth, and feel it as if it already exists in your reality. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between your reality with your eyes open or closed, so the more time you can spend in this meditative state of manifestation, the more your mind will believe it is reality and co-create it with the Universe. With meditation, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Manifestation of abundance requires you to be congruent in all areas of your life, including your physical space, your emotional state, and your spiritual connection. Take time to consciously create these environments that you have control over, and witness the abundance and prosperity that will flow into your life.
