Day 5 of 7 - Manifestation Meditations - Tiger's Eye
All art & photography © 2012 Leah Cooper
Chakra: Naval/Sacral Plexus (Swadhisthana)
Stones: Tiger's Eye - to bring a joyful outlook on wealth & prosperity.
Intention: I have more than enough.
** At the end of each session I will observe the corresponding chakra in my mind's eye and describe its form. **
Observations & Results: What an amazing change since the last session! I sat down, repeating the same Intention as last time, with Tiger's Eye at Swadhisthana in order to ground me and allow openness to wealth with the support of serenity and integrity. My back was almost completely pain free!! There were a few twinges, but nothing to distract me. The bath meditation really did the trick. I visualised myself growing large, activating "my people" and then worked on seeing the flow of golden abundance energy integrating with my energy field. That was still a little challenging, and I felt it slip away at times. I will just have to work on making that visualisation a habit at the beginning of the meditation, just as I do with energizing the connection with "my people". It was a calm, relaxing experience, which was welcome after the struggle I went through previously.
Observing my Swadhisthana chakra at the end of the 21 minutes, I saw myself, again tiny, the base of an enormous, elongated translucent orange funnel of energy. The outside of the long, thin oval was steady and solid, while inside a distinct spiral that looked as viscous as water spun endlessly.

These past few days have yield one realisation after the other. My focus and next step are being fed to me by my intuition, and my individual goals are starting to yield results that illuminate the overall picture. I can see clearly that I am expanding into new territory around wealth, just as I requested. The form this has taken is a shift my attitudes toward success, moneymaking, and specifically: selling.
Recently, I was offered the opportunity to step in and pick up some part-time retail work at a friend's store. At first I recognised this as being a source of income, but now I realise it is so much more! When I worked in retail, for the first three or so years of the 2000s, it was a desperate time for those on the sales floor. Somehow that climate stayed with my view of selling and helped shape it into a harshly dismissive, anti-consumerist point of view. Since childhood I had been inundated with the false myth that creativity doesn't make money, and (knowing deep down that I was an artist) my reaction was to create a moral high ground for myself where ethics and morality were on the opposite end of the scale from moneymaking. Throughout college this idea strengthened, and by the time I got my first retail job the burst of the Dotcom bubble and sudden downturn in spending reiterated to me that selling was never about benefiting the buyer. Then, 9/11 and Enron happened, Ponzi schemes were exposed and we found ourselves sunk into the psychological and actual fiscal depression that still plagues the United States today. It all seemed to back up my theory of "money bad!" and reinforce my superiority complex.
Do you believe that we live in a world where only those that exploit others triumph? Is there enough for everyone, or a limited supply of abundance? Does having the lifestyle of your dreams feel unrealistic?
Through my current meditations and practices I have come to find today's "realism" is way over the line, on the side of negativity. I have decided to stand up for positivity, ethical selling, and the joyous exchanged of the energy we call money. Join me next time when I take 21 Stones: Manifestation Meditations to the next level.
