Open each morning like a lotus plant to rise closer to God and continue on your destiny path.


Destiny Moves is the title of my materials; book and upcoming 2 Day events which will be held around the country (perhaps the world) at the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels; with a Platinum Level later. This is an excerpt from the text, Destiny Moves. 

Destiny Moves Move #9

Live lotus plants can be very expensive. For Destiny Move number nine, you can use a real plant or pictures of plants. You can visually see a plant in your mind’s eye at different levels for this exercise but I think that if you physically have in your room actual lotus plants on shelves at the different levels which I describe or beautifully framed pictures of lotus plants hung at different levels on your wall that you will find this helpful.

You do not have to be of the Buddhism or Hinduism religions to gain from this move which I’ll soon explain. It might be possible to visualize just about any other flower which opens in the morning and closes at night but the 36 varieties of the lotus have special significance because they grow in muddy water and symbolizes hope, rebirth and renewal; all of which we can emulate. It is a flower of beauty, spiritual perfection and the soul of God. Even though the beautiful flower lives in muddy waters, it rises to meet the light regardless. It “sleeps” at night and rises to open every morning. You may want to research online to watch a time lapse of a lotus flower opening to get an idea of what you should visualize in your mind during mediation.

Your lotus plant, or picture, should be at the three foot level on a stand or hung on your wall. You could also have it at a three foot level above your desk so you’ll see it while seated. This is for “everyday” inspiration. When you are visualizing the plant in your mediation, you may see it at ground level and count 1, 2, and 3 as you raise it to the three foot level.

While meditating, see the plant at the level desired (I’ll share other levels and what that level means in a moment) and then start to see it slowly and gradually open as give attention to your slow and relaxed breathing and quietly giving thanks for inspiration for your day. As you see the lotus plant opening, see your day progressing successfully as you desire. All is well and is perfect. Never mind that in the past things have not gone as you desired or that you “know” that people, places and things haven’t worked right in the past and that they may not be different; that’s fine. You can “know” in your mind, right now that all is perfect and that you are the director of your day’s play and you may just be surprised that the characters will do their part! If not all things go as “planned”, that’s fine too, they have gone exactly as planned, right now in your mind and that is good for now.

Do you have an upcoming event which requires you to have a higher level of inspiration? Raise your lotus plant higher; to the five foot level. You can physically raise the plant to a higher shelf and move your picture to a higher, five foot hook on your wall. This level offers inspiration of creative powers in writing, composing; music and literature, and even inventing and solution (not “problem”) solving. As you physically raise your plant or picture, state out loud, “I am raising my creative consciousness to receive higher inspiration in…” and state the area you are working or you can simply leave your desires open and be blessed with the wonderful creative surprises.

You can continue the process starting from the floor to the three foot, then the five foot levels and then to the six and ten foot levels when you desire greater and higher results for “extreme” inspiration; that of love, magnetism and spiritual power. The tenth level or “tenth power” is for meditating on God’s mysteries for all mankind. The tenth level is for “blending” with the light, nirvana (by some) and the “absolute”.

So we raise the plant to these levels and at these levels the plant opens to rise and meet the sun. As a Christian, for me this is a visual to rise and open to meet God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Sometimes when I mediate I rise and visualize being above my room and looking down and blessing myself. I further rise to see and bless my family, home and continue until I see the block on which I live at peace with my neighbors, and then my community, the region, the state and country and finally I’m so high that I am looking down praying for and blessing the entire world.
