Day 1 - Who Am I?
Question 1 of 4
What is your answer to todays soul question, Who am I? As you write allow
yourself the freedom to explore, knowing there is no wrong answer to this
question.
Question 2 of 4
What are your intentions for this 21-day experience? What do you want to
learn and create in your life during our time together? Being very specific
with your intention is a powerful way to start any journey. After writing, take
a moment to visualize each intention as a seed you are planting today within
your heart. The time you spend meditating and journaling each day is the
water and sunshine that allows your vision to sprout.

Welcome to Day 2
Empowered Me
Today we explore the concept of karma, the ebb and flow of energy in our lives. We will discover that with awareness,
we have the opportunity to mindfully harness this natural current to create a life where our dreams and desires open
with effortless ease.
So often we hear about good karma and bad karma, but in reality, karma is simply a reciprocal exchangewhat we
give, we receive in kind. Through meditation, we connect more deeply with the present, increase our awareness of
what is, and emerge from the silence with a sense of balance and a desire to make right, conscious choices in our
lives. In this way, we begin to recognize our own undeniable role in creating the story of our lives and begin to align
ourselves with those choices that are the most nurturing for ourselves and everyone around us.

Our centering thought for today is:

I am a powerful creator.
We look forward to spending time together in meditation.
Blessings,

MINDFUL MOMENT
Take a moment to observe one choice before you today. Prior to making a decision, check in with your inner voice
and ask yourself, Is this the most nourishing choice for me and everyone around me? If the answer does not feel
right to you, then consider making another decision. If when you check in with yourself, your choice feels right in your
heart, then proceed with abandon.

remain untried. Consider scheduling one of those activities each day this week.

Welcome to Day 3
Confident Me
The Spiritual Law of Least Effort tells us that we can do less and accomplish more, an idea that seems at odds with
what many of us have been taught throughout our lives. Weve been told that success is the result of hard work,
struggle, and sacrifice. Today we will tap into the ever present flow of natural ease that is available within, as we plant
the seeds to live our destiny each and every day.
The universe has infinite organizing power, and as conscious beings, we have ready access to this realm simply by
spending time in stillness and silence. The same consciousness that orchestrates the myriad rhythms of the whole

world dwells within each of us. As we cultivate present moment awareness and remain open to the many
opportunities life offers, we open to the power within us to realize all our dreams with effortless ease.
Our centering thought for today is:
Abundance flows easily and freely to me.
We look forward to our time together today.
Blessings,

MINDFUL MOMENT
Today, make the decision to practice defenselessness. Each time you find yourself involved in a discussion in which
you feel compelled to take one side over another or express your opinion in order to sway that of another person,
instead, gently let go of the need to defend your point of view. Make a commitment to follow the path of no resistance
in other ways throughout your day. Witness how effortlessly your day unfolds as you practice letting go and accept
things just as they are.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their

The Spiritual Law of Least Effort tells us that we can do less and accomplish
more, an idea that seems at odds with what many of us have been taught
throughout our lives. In general, we hold the belief that success is the result
of hard work, struggle, and sacrifice.
As were learning through our time together, the universe has infinite
organizing power and as conscious beings, we have ready access to this
realm simply by spending time in stillness and silence. The same
consciousness that orchestrates the myriad rhythms of the whole world
dwells within each of us. By aligning ourselves with consciousness,
connecting fully with the present, and staying open to the many
opportunities life offers, we have the power within us to realize all our
dreams with effortless ease.
Mindful Moment

Just for today, make the decision to practice defenselessness. When you find
yourself involved in a discussion in which you feel compelled to take one
side over another or express your opinion in order to sway that of another
person, instead, gently let go of the need to defend your point of view. Make
a commitment to follow the path of no resistance in other ways throughout
your day. Witness how effortlessly your day unfolds as you practice letting

JOURNAL
Question 1 of 4
Make a list of the areas in your life that feel like a struggle. Use this writing
time to let it all out; write until you feel complete. After journaling take a
moment to feel all of the sensations in your body, mind, and heart
associated with your writing. Take a deep breath in, using your breath to
send gentle love and light to any place within that feels tense, uneasy,
heavy, or conflicted. Visualize all feelings of struggle being released as you
exhale.
Question 2 of 4

Reflecting on the answers to question one, describe how some or all of your
perceived struggles might be blocking abundance in your life. Take this time
to write how you can reframe your reaction to perceived struggle. Is there an
action or actions that will provide a sense of relief? What are the ways that
you can create a sense of peace, openness, and awareness during times that
struggle shows up in your life?

Welcome to Day 4
Conscious Me
All around us are messages that lead us to believe our lives are ones of scarcity and lack and that competition with
one another is the only way we can truly succeed. However, when we begin to witness the worldwhether standing
in the middle of a majestic forest or scanning the shelves at the grocery storewe come to understand that the entire
universe presents itself to us and is ours to enjoy.
In order for us to truly experience everything the world has to offer, we must first come to appreciate all that we
already have. By being truly grateful, we open the door to all the power, wisdom, and creativity of the universe,
connecting ever more deeply with pure consciousness and its ability to usher anything we can envision into our lives.
Our centering thought for today is:
Abundance surrounds me.
We are grateful for our time with you today.
Blessings,

MINDFUL MOMENT
Today, no matter where you are or what you are doing, take notice of the abundance that surrounds you. Abundance
may appear as a loose penny in the parking lot, a warm hug from a friend, or a plentiful display of produce at the
supermarket. Consider how effortlessly and easily these gifts and signs of abundance showed up in your experience
and give yourself permission to feel authentic gratitude for these blessings. You will be surprised and delighted by the
multitude of gifts that continue to appear throughout your day and for days to come.

Question 1 of 4
Where in your life do you compare yourself to others or compete? How does
it feel? What is the inner dialogue or limiting belief that ignites competition
and comparison in your life? After writing, spend time with the feelings and
sensations connected to your written thoughts. Breathe in deeply and as you
exhale send yourself love and light. As you become aware you are presented
with the opportunity to practice a new way of being.

What lights you up more fervently than anything else in your life? Listen to whatever immediately comes to you
these are signs leading you to your true passion, your most heartfelt desire, and ultimately your destiny.
When we heed the call of our deepest desires, we fulfill our true destinies. Children do not shy away from their
passions, they effortlessly live from a place of wonder, play, and delight. For many of us, were taught that we must
abandon our natural passions as we cross the divide between childhood and adulthood. Yet, passion is what drives
us to be the very best individuals we can be.
Today, through meditation, we reconnect to our internal spark and begin to gently release those long-held stories
about who we should be as we become more intimately re-acquainted with who we really are. Together we will
practice shining brightly as the individuals we were born to be as we freely share our gifts with everyone we meet.
Our centering thought for today is:
I choose abundance.
We look forward to sharing much more with you.
Blessings,

MINDFUL MOMENT
Set aside one hour today to do something you thoroughly enjoy. It doesnt matter what it is . . . whether its a walk in
the woods, reading a good book, or creating a delicious meal . . . do it purely for the joy of the activity. As you settle in
for sleep tonight, revisit the experience in your mind, considering why this activity excited you or brought you joy. Set
the intention to awake the next day in this same state of mind and heart.

"Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance." Epicurus
What are the things that light you up and excite you more fervently than
anything else in your life? Whatever comes to you when you ask yourself
that question are signs leading you to your true passion, your most heartfelt
desire, and ultimately your destiny.
When we heed the call of our deepest desires, we fulfill our true destinies. In
our world, we often feel the pull of our passions when we are very young but
lose the connection to them through lifes conditioning. For many of us, were
taught that we must say good-bye to our passions as we cross the divide
between childhood and adulthood. Yet, passion is what drives us to be the
very best individuals we can be.
Through meditation, we begin to lose those long-held stories about who we
should be and become more intimately re-acquainted with who we really are.

Have you had a passion or dream that was minimized or squelched by yourself or
another? Write about what it felt like to share your dream and have it dismissed.
Did that experience impact how you respond to sparks of passion, dreams, and
desires in your life now?
Question 2 of 4
Reflect and spend time writing about what you can learn about yourself, others,
and life from that experience or other experiences like it. Our reaction to our selftalk and the input of others just might be blocking our dreams from coming to life.

Welcome to Day 6
Resilient Me
In life, it is fairly certain that we will each experience difficult and challenging passages. Within each of these
moments we are given a special seed of opportunity, a gift. Many times, this point of view can be difficult to embrace
in the midst of what appears to be a setback. Today, we spend our time together opening our minds and hearts to the
blessings that come to us in disguise.
In the stillness of meditation we begin to gently release ego thoughts connected with success and failure. We begin to
trust the movement of life knowing that the universe has much grander plans for us than we could ever fathom. Each
step along the path of life, regardless of the destination, is an exciting part of the adventure. The moments
themselves are the gift, the journey itself, the rich reward.
Our centering thought for today is:
A gift resides in every moment.
We look forward to connecting with you in silence.
Blessings,

MINDFUL MOMENT
Use today to experiment with perception by tapping into the power of your thoughts, intentions, and the resilient
strength that is always with you. As you travel through the day, any time you feel a sense of struggle, or you hear
your inner dialogue sending you messages that cause you to feel you have failed or that you are less than, take a
moment to pause. Stop what you are doing and allow yourself to take a deep breath. Then re-write the story of your
inner response. Take time to identify the opportunities before you as a result of this perceived adversity. Give yourself
permission to be in gratitude for the opportunity to learn and grow.

"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because
thorn bushes have roses." Abraham Lincoln
Within each perceived failure or difficult life passage lives the seed of
opportunity, but so often in life when we experience a setback, we have
difficulty seeing the true blessing enveloped in this disguise. Through the
sustained practice of meditation, we begin to clear away ego thoughts
connected with success and failure and begin to understand that the
universe must have much grander plans in store for us that we can only
begin to fathom.

Think of a time you felt a dream went up in flames or felt the sting of failure.

things you learned about yourself and life from that challenge. Was there a
treasure in disguise, a new opportunity, or new beginning within that
experience?
Question 2 of 4
During meditation today, we were encouraged to release thoughts and feelings
about our perceived challenges and adversities to fill that newly cleared space
with infinite love and light. Take some time to fill your cup with possibility-describe your new vision for this day. Open wide, tap into your resilience,
positivity, and pure potential.

Congratulations on completing the first week of our journey together! During this time, we have taken the important
first steps toward initiating transformation by going within to connect with who it is we really are. Our awareness has
expanded and we have opened to our authentic and divine nature. We have learned to honor our passions and longheld dreams while freeing ourselves from the limiting thoughts and beliefs that hold us back from the life we desire.
We are now more open to our infinite potential, our destiny.
Today, we embark on a powerful journey designed to help us gently release our fears, clearing the way to greet each

Welcome to Day 9
Focused Me
Its difficult to arrive at a destination if we dont know where we are
headed. This is equally true for our life journey. In order to realize our
deepest desires, it is essential to identify exactly what we want and
stay focused on that intention with dedication, focus, and awareness.
At the same time, this practice requires us to let go of attachment to
any single outcome, opening us up to abundant possibility.
Todays meditation centers on bringing our heartfelt desires into
crystallized focus and putting our heart-centered attention on what we
envision. In this way, we align ourselves with the universe to reach
our intended destination, clear on what we hope to achieve and open
to all opportunities that help us realize our dreams.
Our centering thought for today is:
I am focused on what I want.
We look forward to our time together.

Before we meditate together, take a minute to notice if you have any

anything that isnt serving you in this moment. Invite your inner

Welcome to Day 10
Passionate Me
It is not uncommon to set a goal and then push forward with our eyes so fixed on the destination that we become
unaware of the terrain on which we travel. Today we will practice navigating the path toward our destination with
fluidity and balance, remaining attentive to our goal with present moment awareness. As we do so, we take a
powerful step toward realizing our dreams and living our destinies.
In our passionate pursuit of our lifes purpose, our destination, we have the choice to stay present in the now, which
increases our awareness of the many supportive cues and opportunities that arise along the path. Staying connected
to the present enables us to enjoy every moment of the journeythe people we meet and the experiences we can
enjoy with themenriching us as we live out our deepest, most heartfelt desires.
Our centering thought for today is:
Now is my time.
We look forward to joining you in the stillness of meditation.

Sometime today, when you catch yourself projecting into the future, take the time to practice 10 rounds of conscious
breathing. Close your eyes and begin to witness the breath as it flows in and out of the nostrils. If it is helpful, count
as you practice this, inhaling for a count of five, holding the breath, and exhaling for five. After you repeat this

Over the past several days, we have defined what we want in life, responded to our hearts deepest dreams and
desires, and opened to the many opportunities that arise in the present moment. Today, we will learn more about
developing clear intentions for our lives.
We believe that attention energizes and intention transforms. We are the masters of our own lives, our realities, and
the universe offers us what we ask of it. Therefore, as we place our attention on what it is that we want, we set our
intentions to orchestrate everything in our lives to help us achieve our goals. As we become receptive in this way, the
universe conspires to support our every step.
Our centering thought for today is:
I create my reality.
We look forward to our time together today.

kindness during your travels, or maybe you would like to integrate peace or joy into your day. Take a moment to

your intentions in the womb of creation and allow the universe to orchestrate the details.

When we follow our hearts, we make life choices that seemingly open doors for us without force, we are then aligned
with our inner knowing. The path is revealed with ease. Other times, we may over-think our decisions, choosing the
guidance of the mind over the messages of the heart. We may find that in these moments, our paths become filled
with obstacles that hinder us at nearly every turn.
In todays meditation, we will connect deeply with our hearts, our most trustworthy inner guidance system. As we
relax into our heart-center, we access the wisdom of the whole universe and the blueprint for true happiness. The
invitation is to silence the chatterto gently release thoughts, judgments, distractions, and pressuresin order to
truly hear our hearts desires and messages. Only then can we source our inner inspiration and realize not only our
dreams, but our destinies.

When we hold tightly to a goal, we often find it to be elusive. We may say to ourselves, I want this so badly. I can see
my goal. Why cant I reach it? The answer lies within the fine art and practice of detachment.

As we detach from the outcome of whatever we desire, we let go and gently surrender to the wisdom of uncertainty,
which holds our freedom from the past, the known, and the limitations of any preconceived notions. In our willingness

dance of the universe, trusting that what we desire will come to us.

Congratulations on completing the first two weeks of our 21-Day Meditation Experience! Spending time in silence is
an act of powerful self-nurturance. Through meditation, you are connecting more deeply with your heart,
understanding its desires, and clearing a path to realize your dreams.
Todays meditation focuses on gratitude. When we appreciate all that we have in life, our egos step out of the way,
inviting even greater abundance into our lives.
Practicing gratitude for our lives as human beings for the air we breathe, for our magnificent bodies, and the beauty
of being alive is a wonderful place to start. From this point of view, we can expand our gratitude outward, like ripples
in a still pond, appreciating everything and everyone we encounter and those who touch our lives as well.

Welcome to Day 15
How Can I Serve?
Today we delve more deeply into what it means to be of service. When we serve others from a place of love, we are
also serving ourselves.
For many of us, when we think of service, we envision great feats, sacrifices, large philanthropic donations, and other
grand gestures. While service can be all those things, service can be much more accessible in our daily lives. Giving
to others through service is simply recognizing what you do best in any given moment and offering that as a gift to
someone else. For instance, in this moment, you may be sitting in a coffee shop across from someone who looks like
she could really use a warm smile and, in this moment, you offer a smile in service to brighten her day. Giving can be
that simple.
Think about how good you feel when you give someone a gift in this way and notice how serving someone else is a
gift to yourself as well.

"Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a

Jane Goodall
The expansion of happiness in this lifetime is our birthright. Finding what it is we are meant to
do and be and identifying that which brings us the greatest happiness is our highest purpose in
life. This is our dharma, our truth and, our destiny. Each moment presents us with a unique
opportunity to express ourselves in ways that only we can. When we answer the call of our heart
in each moment, we have the opportunity to experience pure joy.
Todays meditation explores what it means to live our lives blissfully in each moment,
understanding that the true reward is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but the journey
along the rainbow itself.
Allow the bliss of being who you are, living as the unique soul you were born to be, carry you
along the path of this lifetime and you will be living your life to the fullest.

Think about the people and experiences that truly inspire you. What is it about them that makes
you feel this way? For many of us, we are inspired when we feel something we have never felt
before. We feel uplifted when we gain a new insight that changes our perspective completely and
when we learn something new that forever transforms us.
Each of us has that power to inspire another. Within all of us lies a wonderful teacher, a soul that
greatly inspires others to seek the highest good and to engage fully in life, merely by expressing
your authentic self. Embrace that inner teacher and know that you have something very valuable
to offer everyone around you. Share your lessons freely and receive wisdom from others with
openness, joy, and love.
Mindful Moment

Today recall a teacher who really inspired you. Perhaps this individual was a person who taught
in a classroom, but perhaps it was someone elsea grandparent, a neighbor, or an athletic
coach. Take time today to reflect on the ways that this person transformed how you saw the
world, then without over-thinking it, consider how you can offer something of yourself to others

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice
will be silenced." Vincent Van Gogh
How often have you had the experience of struggling to remember a persons name only to have
the name effortlessly revealed to you when you were engaged in something entirely different?
The same thing happens when we wrestle with our minds for ideas or solutions. Once we let the
challenge go and engage in something that frees our minds, the lightning bolt strikes!
This is the value of play. Play opens the pathways for creativity to flow freely. When we are
engaged in play, we connect with the heart, rather than leading with our minds. As we access the
essence of pure potentiality, transformative ideas and solutions come to us spontaneously, and we
are boundlessly creative.
Mindful Moment

Take some time today to engage in a playful activity that you really enjoy. Challenge some

Today we will spend time reconnecting with our true bliss, that part of ourselves that many of us
will best remember from childhood. Think about what it was that brought you the greatest joy,
that made time fly, and that you could do forever without a care in the world. That is bliss.
While our childhoods may be behind us, our opportunity to reconnect with our bliss is right in
front of us, ours for the taking. When we find ourselves engaged in the activities and with the
people who make our hearts sing, we are grounded in the present and deeply connected to pure
Spirit.
Mindful Moment

Spend a moment today connecting with bliss in an everyday moment. When you are eating a
meal or taking a shower, practice acute mindfulness and allow yourself to experience this
activity with all of your senses. Do this as slowly as you can, delighting in the smells, tastes,
textures, colors, and sounds. What do you notice? Note how you feel after you spent time in this

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Helen Keller

When we think of networking, we likely see ourselves at a cocktail party, handing out business
cards, meeting new acquaintances, and sharing a little bit about ourselves. But networking from a
spiritual perspective is something quite different.
As we spend more time in stillness and align ourselves with intuition, we understand our roles as
visionaries and are eager to connect with everyone around us in an entirely new way. Instead of
getting out there in order to make something happen, we embrace opportunities to venture out

43

because we want to meet new people, experience things we have never done before, and share
what we have learned with everyone we meet.
All of us are visionaries with something to share. Connecting fulfills us and enables us to help
others find fulfillment as well.
Mindful Moment

Make a point today of reaching out to someone you have never had a conversation with before.
For instance, there may be someone in your office to whom youve offered a polite greeting every
day but never learned his name. Take a few minutes and talk to this person; get to know him or
her and share something about yourself. Notice how much richer your life feels after you have
enjoyed this persons company.

Describe how you have benefited when youve followed your intuition to open up to a new
person. How did that benefit outweigh any hesitation you might have experienced before

Day 22 Abundant World

"World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace
is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion." His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Welcome to the bonus day of our 21-Day Meditation Experience. Today we offer a special
guided meditation to ignite a ripple of peace and abundance out into the world.
We are all connected through pure consciousness, and the ebb and flow of pure potentiality
envelops all of us. In todays meditation, we will focus on that flow of giving and receiving,
sharing our gifts and offering gratitude in return to enable everyone in the world an opportunity
to benefit from this amazing journey.
Our centering thought for today is:
Love and abundance for all.
