6 Spiritual Practices For Manifesting Mind-Blowing Success

As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve always loved having the freedom to dictate and design my own life. And at the same time, I’ve often wished I had a boss to make some of those tough decisions and tell me what to do when I was feeling overwhelmed and clueless.

It was only in the past year or so that I hit on something that changed how I operated in business and took away some of those deep-seated fears.

I discovered a number of spiritual practices that have allowed me to tap into my higher self, and have brought me enlightenment in my business.

Trusting my intuition at first seemed completely ridiculous. Writing lists of pros and cons and spending hours upon hours on research and risk assessments was obviously the far more sensible choice. Until I ran out of time and patience.

I didn’t just learn to trust my intuition, I learned to trust myself—all of my selves, past, present, future, and parallel. Accessing my alternatives became easier as I became more practiced and committed to my meditation rituals.

My discoveries came quite unexpectedly through Kundalini yoga. A quick Google search will show you the popularity of this practice amongst the very wealthy, successful, and famous. It has absolutely nothing to do with getting your ankles behind your ears (although I’m told this is very spiritually powerful), and everything to do with connecting to your higher power.

I can’t stand on my elbows, but I can sit on a pillow for 15 minutes and listen to my breath. I openly and expectantly ask for signs from my guides and, and draw comfort and inspiration from the manifestation of 11:11, multiple 2s, and horses (my spirit energy). Synchronicity has replaced coincidence; silver linings have replaced setbacks; curiosity emerges in place of frustration; humor in place of despair; self-reflection disturbs anxiety and love out shines fear.

Through meditation came conversation with my alternative selves. Almost like picking up the phone to my past, future, and parallel selves, to ask what they would do, and how they would deal with whichever scenario I was faced with at the time. It’s interesting to hear so many different perspectives come from me. I’m not as narrow-minded as I once thought—it certainly beats the bias of searching for answers from family, friends, coaches, peers, and the world wide web.

We already have all the answers we need inside of us. We just have to tune in to listen. The answers don’t come in a string of words in the way we are used to receiving instructions. It’s more a feeling of just knowing, and having a really calming sense of security around your decision.

Over time, I’ve learned to act with love and positive intention, to hold an awareness of self in the face of potentially damaging situations, and to choose to not react. Rising above any undesirable scenario is a fast track to connecting to your higher power. They don’t call it "rising above" for nothing. You suddenly become the yogi master of your own spiritual empire. ]

If I’ve created an environment in which negativity can’t grow, then I feel I’ve also done my bit to contribute, even in a small way, to a better world. I’m holding a positive space for everyone I connect with to become the best versions of themselves, and perhaps even connect with their own power. Holding a positive space means I have a highly driven and happy staff team, clients who just keep coming back for more, suppliers who can’t do enough to help me, and an income which supports me.
