Day 5 – The Fulfillment of Desire
“Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.” — Erich Fromm
Message of the Day
Today’s meditation addresses our sense of self-worth and its impact on fulfilling our desires. Your true self – your core consciousness, is divine. You are pure light, love, joy, and fulfillment. You deserve happiness and the fulfillment of your desires, because happiness and fulfillment are your essential nature. In today’s meditation, we will experience our inner selves and know our true worth. As our experience of our real self becomes stronger, so does our awareness that we are deserving of all that is good. You don’t have to do anything to be deserving – you already are deserving.
CENTERING THOUGHT
I deserve complete fulfillment.
SANSKRIT MANTRA
Shreem Kleem Namah
I attract abundance from my true self.
Journal Questions
Make a list of the ways you might feel unworthy or undeserving of having your desires fulfilled. It’s not important to know the source of these feelings – just identify the feelings of unworthiness. Now write about how these feelings constrict your spirit and define your worth by your past actions instead of being based on your true nature.
Write about a time when you felt completely in the moment and you knew anything was possible. It could be an experience in meditation, or out of meditation during daily activity. Those feelings you had were from your true self – the self that is not defined by your past, but by your own truth.
In your journal, write the line, “My true self is…” and then add on all the descriptive phrases of what your peak experiences feel like. It could be, “liberating, effervescent, invincible, brilliant, wise, fun…” Then add, “Therefore I deserve complete fulfillment.”
