To truly achieve any level of proficiency in meditation one must alter the way they live their life to live more mindfully moment to moment. Contrary to popular belief, you can be effective in the busy world without spinning out of control. If you hit Starbucks on your way to work for the double mochachino , spend the whole day stressing over every detail of your work, grab a quick, high fat lunch to eat in the car, grumble all day over the fact that your life sucks, fixate on how bad your day was when you get home at night, etc. then 30 minutes a day spent trying to force yourself to stop thinking isn't going to do you too much good. If you really want to learn how to stop thinking, start thinking - when we become conscious of how our choices and actions affect us on a subtle, energetic level, a quiet mind becomes easier to achieve.

Part of the process of manifesting abundance and making it your own involves acts of faith. This is not just having faith that something good will happen; I'm not talking about wishing on a lucky star or betting your favorite number and having faith that you'll win. I'm talking about a faith that involves your doing those positive things that produce successful results.

At this very moment the universe is trying to manifest miracles through your
visions, intuitions, and longings. Imagine that your inklings are God's
whispers to your heart. The same God that gave you the idea, will give you
the means and support to see it through.
