Day 4 – Effortless Creation
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” — Maya Angelou
Message of the Day
Usually, when we want to manifest a cherished wish or desire in our lives, our first instinct is to act on that impulse. Action of course is necessary, but today we will learn to start with a different approach. To harness Nature’s infinite creative power, we need to release desire into the stillness of our Being. In today’s meditation we will learn to let go of our intention, where it then settles into the field of pure potentiality where all the laws of creation are ready to help manifest it. This is the most effective way to manifest desires, and the simplest and easiest way to bring your hopes and dreams to life. That doesn’t mean action and persistence aren’t also essential. They are, but they too come in after letting the seed of intention rest into the silence of your true self. This ensures that your actions and focus will be supported and aligned with Nature’s intelligence, not separate from it.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Journal Questions
Remember back to a time when you wanted something desperately, and you asked and you asked, but it didn’t come to you. Then at some point you let go or forgot about it and soon after that, it came to you. Even though you let go of the desire, it was still in the back of your mind. As you write about this experience, consider how releasing your desire was instrumental to it manifesting.
We learned today that letting go of desire is the key to effortless manifestation. This is sometimes called detachment from desire. Think of a time when you “tried” to be detached about something you wanted and were unsuccessful.
Now, identify another situation where you wanted something that was not happening and you began feeling frustrated, yet you were somehow able to release the attachment and frustration with ease. As you write in your journal, compare this kind of frustrated detachment with the natural and easy state of detachment you experienced in the above examples. What was different when you stopped holding on to your desire?
Have you had a meditation experience of inner quietness? Write down what it felt like. During these moments, when your awareness stops thinking thoughts and moves into silence and stillness, you automatically release whatever desire you have – this is true detachment. Write about the same experience in terms of letting go of what you were thinking. This is how you release a desire.
