You already have everything you need to attain a heightened state of self-actualization and Sacred Powers will show you the way.

A new year is often a catalyst for jumpstarting life-changing choices. Perhaps you’ve already begun your journey on a spiritual path, or perhaps you’re finding yourself at the crossroads of some potentially defining moment in your life.

Maybe you’re sensing a feeling of longing for something beyond what exists right now. Or you have confusion about the situation in which you currently find yourself. There may even be an indescribable sensation inside you — a sort of knowing that there’s something more, something deeper, something better… a place where you can finally experience true love, real abundance, greater fulfillment, or simply peace of mind in the midst of all the chaos that surrounds you. Oftentimes we simply feel trapped by our current circumstances or locked into a non-nourishing pattern.

But there is a doorway to the liberation you now seek. In fact, there are five doorways and five paths that you can walk as you gain your footing on your spiritual journey. These paths are available to all seekers whether you are just now dipping your toe into a spiritual journey or whether you have been practicing for many years.

What has happened in the past can’t be changed.

We can’t unring the bell, but we can move forward . . .

and how you choose to move forward from this moment,

is the choice that will determine the fabric of your life.

Stepping through this doorway of spirituality will take you on a lifelong journey that will give you the power to make the most brilliant choice at the exact perfect time — one that will align you completely with the Universe; take your life to the next level; and awaken the divine nature that rests at your very core.

Yes, you have Sacred Powers of Transformation resting deep within. Not simply the power to change but to truly transform your life to a place of deep fulfillment. Transformation is evolution. And it validates the eternal truth that you are never stuck. You always have the power to shift your life from where you are to where you’d like to be and where you truly need to be.

This free meditation is a sneak peak into my new book Sacred Powers: The Five Secrets to Transformation. The Sacred Power of Intention & The Sacred Power of Attention are a powerful tools for manifesting our dreams and making solution-oriented, conscious choices. Wherever you shine your light of attention, that thing will be become more prominent in your life. And that’s why intention is the partner of attention. If our intention are to raise our vibration while our attention is on a particular issue then we will be solution oriented!

Remember that we have a choice in every moment to bring our attention; and then we have another choice: what is the intention you want to bring to this moment?

I wasn’t always a meditation teacher. In fact, I spent more than 20 years in business and finance on Wall Street in New York City. But when my heart had become so thick and heavy — so black — and my life had taken a dark and painful plunge, I began to pull myself out of what had become a conditioned trap, and explore aspects of myself I didn’t know were there — and didn’t even know how to access.

I followed my heart, surrendered to a new path and jumped. I let my job evaporate into the ether. Within a week, I discovered a teacher who taught me my first meditation mantra, and one month later, I found myself in Oxford, England, learning about the concept of dharma — my purpose in life.

In many Eastern philosophies, there is a term for purpose in life: dharma (pronounced “dar-mah”). It comes from the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit and literally means “pillar” — that which upholds. There are hundreds of definitions for this word, but going back a few thousand years, dharma referred to the fundamental laws that govern and sustain the universe. In a sense, when we look for purpose and meaning, we are seeking the pillar that will uphold our life — the foundation from which all actions flow.

According to these ancient teachings, every being on the planet has a unique gift or a special talent that creates their path of purpose. This talent allows each of us to touch others or heal others or help others or serve others.

Maybe you thought you were living your purpose, but you lost your job, got sick, or got derailed. And now you feel clueless, anxious, or hopeless. That’s because . . . most likely . . . you are feeling like a victim, pointing at external forces when the solution rests within. So first you must heal your heart. Dharma can wait until you are feeling confident and more connected to your inner voice.

Whether or not you are employed, you still have the tools to center yourself and meet your core needs of safety. The answer rarely rests in the outside world. You know the saying, “Happiness is an inside job.” Once you feel safe emotionally, then your purpose in life will begin to unfold.

Throughout your life, what you think is your purpose or your dharma may change, shift, transform, and evolve. Or maybe the vision of what you’re trying to accomplish doesn’t change, but the methodology does. For example, maybe you were very athletic as a child and that was a way for you to express your unique, God-given talent. But it’s a few years later, and you’re not so limber anymore.

Maybe now you express that by writing about sports, broadcasting, or sharing your insights through coaching or teaching. Maybe you are helping others achieve that same level of fulfillment you once experienced. And so the same vision is there but manifested through a different methodology or channel.

When you’re doing that one thing that you love to do, that feels so right that you sense it’s what you are here to do, you’ll know it. Time stands still. You’re joyful and happy and deeply fulfilled. And when you’re expressing that talent, the expression takes you into the oneness, the collective.

Take, for example, basketball superstar Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers for 13 years. After winning championships in high school and college, Magic was selected first overall in the 1979 NBA draft by the Lakers, winning the championship and the most valuable player award in his very first season. We could have said, “Oh, Magic has found his purpose.” Over the next decade, he won four more championships with the Lakers — clearly “living his dharma,” as the saying goes.

Then in 1991, Magic retired abruptly after announcing that he had contracted HIV. He returned to play in the 1992 Olympics as a member of the “Dream Team,” where he won a gold medal, and then in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game he won the All-Star MVP Award for the second time (the first having been in 1990). After protests from his fellow players, he retired again for four years, but returned in 1996, at age 36, to play 32 games for the Lakers before retiring for the third and final time. We could have said, “Oh, Magic — his purpose has come and gone.”

Next, though, he became an activist for the issues surrounding HIV and AIDS, and we could have said, “Oh, Magic, now you have truly found your purpose.”

Then in the aftermath of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, where more than 3,700 buildings were destroyed and there was more than $1 billion in property damage, Magic led a redevelopment effort, investing his own money and marshaling the resources of his most influential friends and business partners to help rebuild. We could have said, “Oh, Magic, now you’ve found your dharma.”

In 2002, Magic was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame; and in 2007, ESPN rated him the greatest NBA point guard of all time.

And then in 2012, along with the Guggenheim Group, Stan Kasten, and entertainment mogul Peter Guber, Magic led a successful $2-billion bid to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For 80 games every season, Dodger Stadium’s 56,000 seats are filled with a rapt audience comprising at least 30,000 kids whom Magic gets to sponsor, mentor, teach, and inspire through school programs, team events, and special promotions.

We could say, “Oh, Magic, it looks like you have finally found your purpose.” When you look at where you are right now in your life, ask yourself, What is my purpose? Look at your unique abilities, your special talents, and see how you can help others using them.

Most likely that’s your purpose for the time being. Remember, your dharma will continue to evolve throughout your life. My evolution didn’t happen over night. It took me years and years of turning my life upside down, traveling, studying, learning, and lots of self-examination to get where I am.

I did it all so you don’t have to! Everything I’ve learned I’ve distilled into real-world, common sense tips, tools, techniques, and secrets to personal transformation. Check out my award-winning book Secrets of Meditation: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace and Personal Transformation, and my brand new upcoming book Sacred Powers: The Five Secrets to Awakening Transformation available December 12.

Life is not intended to remain static or for people to merely exist. It’s a journey. For many, going about a daily existence of work, commuting, texting, selfies, errands, grocery shopping, television, soccer practice, dance lessons … it all takes up our day. And before we know it — the day is over.

Then what? We are lying in bed thinking about what we need to do tomorrow. Chances are … it’s more of the same. When we get caught in this cycle, it can feel like we’re driving on autopilot. And when we’re cruising in autopilot mode, the journey whooshes by with no opportunity to savor life’s nectar.

Then sometimes … something unexpected happens … changing the way life looks … the way it feels … how we approach our world. Over the years, I’ve experienced inexplicable moments that have gifted me with profound insights, higher states of consciousness, and timeless wisdom to guide me into deeper levels of understanding about life, love, purpose, and decision-making.

In the deep recesses of my heart, I have referred to these experiences as butterfly moments because each has left me totally transformed from where I was only a few minutes before.

Butterfly moments can rock you for days, weeks, and months as we attempt to integrate their intensity, profundity, and meaning. Each defining moment has acted as a powerful path to deep, personal evolution. Sometimes, they occur while at a major fork in the road. And other times, they come out of the blue, revealing a magnificent crossroads to which we were oblivious up until that moment.

But, each time, they have acted as the stepping off point into timeless wisdom. The important thing is to recognize the signs and listen to what the Universe is saying.

Trust that your heart will open a door to a personal transformation. Ultimately, the transformation will ripple through every fiber of your BEing — nourishing you, fueling you, inspiring you, and guiding you past fear to your best version. You’ll be more prepared to take that step; make that move; own your decision; and, step into your power. You won’t have to “try” or “do” anything . . . the transformation will be effortless.

How you see the world will change and how the world sees you will shift. You will begin living a life of your own design, making bold, fearless choices and having them validated by the Universe. And with each day, as you become more familiar with the inner whispers of your soul, it will naturally become your outer voice.

When a butterfly moment presents itself, do you recognize it? Or are you so trapped in the past or the future that you loose sight of the present moment?

Stop right now. Close your eyes, take a long, slow deep breath in, and think about your most recent butterfly moment. Maybe you originally missed it, but now you realize what that moment really was. Let it transform who you are and watch as it will transform the physical, emotional, material, relationship, and spiritual realms of your life.

Our purpose in life is ever evolving as we move through the various phases. What mattered to us in our youth may be very different than what mattered to us even five years ago, and feel a lifetime away from what matters now.

Right now, close your eyes, take a long, slow, deep breath in, and ask yourself: “What is the meaning of my life?” It’s a profound question, and the answer probably won’t come easily. But when we connect to the stillness and silence that rests within, the answer begins to emerge, evolve, and then propel you toward a life that you truly want to live.

The ancient sages found the answers in the stars, and more specifically in a divine power, which they referred to in Sanskrit as dhri (pronounced “dree”). Literally translated as “to support, hold, or bear,” dhri was the heavenly force that held the stars apart and the Universe together. Dhri was the cosmic force that allowed everything to make sense — essentially the why and how of all existence.

We’ve all been driven off course during our lives. It can — and does — happen to just about anyone. Myself included! You may be very clear on what you think matters to you right now. But, how much of that is based on what’s already happened to you and how you’ve reacted to it?

On the other hand, how much of what matters to you in this moment is based on your divine purpose? How much of who you are has been decided by your environment, your circumstances, and the people in your life versus that cosmic radiant light that shines from within?

Our life is a series of choices. We’ve all had to make some challenging and amazing decisions to get us this far. We know that at our core, we are pure, perfect, whole and enlightened. But most likely, many of the decisions we’ve made came from scenarios in which we made a choice that ultimately was not in our best interest or not of our own design. The result pushed you off course — in a direction away from your heart — away from your passion — away from your purpose.

Finding the power of your purpose is the law of nature — that once internalized — holds your stars apart and your Universe together. When you ask yourself what matters in life, the answers are the building blocks of your own personal dhri. The ancient Buddhists developed the word dhamma from the word dhri in order to describe the pure truth taught by the Buddha.

To fully understand dhri, ask yourself, “What holds my stars apart and my Universe together?”

Passion and purpose are cosmically interwoven: Once you know what you most care about, you can start being more purposeful in the way that you think, speak and act. So what do you value? Only when purpose is activated, do you make more deliberate and conscious choices, and a daily meditation practice is the vehicle that gets us there. The better you understand what’s important to you, the clearer your boundaries become. In time, a laser focus delivers you exactly to where you need to be to live your life with greater purpose.

Our purpose in life is ever evolving as we move through the various phases. What mattered to us in our youth may be very different than what mattered to us even five years ago, and feel a lifetime away from what matters right now. That’s why this is an ongoing exploration, and as our life progresses, we will experience diverse expressions of our dhri. When this happens, the Universe opens to you.

If you’ve taken an asana yoga class, you may have noticed that many studios also offer meditation classes. On the outside, it may seem as though these are two very different practices — one involves movement, poses and exercises, and the other involves sitting still and trying not to think. Right? Not exactly — it goes deeper than that.

Yoga means union. Therefore, yoga is meditation. And meditation is yoga. Any practice that brings about a state of present-moment awareness or a stilling of the mind is a form of meditation: that moment during running, or cycling, or swimming, or dancing, or writing, or having an orgasm, making a big sale, or riding a roller coaster. It’s in these moments we are totally present — when we are totally in the zone. Those moments when you are in sync with your body, your mind, the moment, the universe. There is only a state of pure present-moment awareness. It is this one-ness that is the true definition of yoga.

Most people think of yoga in terms of a physical practice that occurs on a mat in which you move your body into postures or poses known in Sanskrit as “asana” (pronounced AH-sah-nah). Then, depending on your school of practice and your philosophical orientation, you “live” the pose and then flow to the next.

But then you get back into the physical world and change poses. And then you change poses again. Over time, virtually every student of yoga develops an evolved homeostasis in the body’s internal rhythms leading to better flexibility, focus, and balance; increased physical and mental confidence; often greater patience; increased strength.

But stillness and silence during the practice is intermittent. In fact, it is usually not where most teachers take you during yoga class. But there are great teachers who give you permission to explore your being. And there are talented and intuitive teachers who can guide you to powerful experiences that open you, center you, awaken you, soften you, and expand you; this is why yoga is referred to as a practice of body-centered restful awareness.

Any practice that nourishes you, evolves you, and adds value to your life is worth exploring. I have been a practitioner, student, and teacher of myriad yogic practices for years.

The daily practice transformed my body and mind over the years. It was usually at the end of the yoga class, during savasana (corpse pose), that I was able to disconnect from my body and mind, drift into stillness, and fully integrate the teachings as I experienced one-ness.

Many schools of yoga seem to emphasize getting a physical workout or achieving perfect poses, which build our strength, flexibility, and balance yet keep us more focused in the physical realm.

Many styles of yoga incorporate a series of flowing asanas known as sun salutations, or surya namaskar in Sanskrit. But even during sun salutations, our moments of restful awareness are consistently brought back into the physical realm; it’s distinctly the present moment, but alas, we are in the realm of activity . . . of unrest. Throughout any yoga practice, we return to the physical realm. And the fact that the practice is body centered keeps the practice in the physical realm. When we think of yoga we envision someone practicing an asana. But the practice of asana is only one aspect of yoga, which is a broad philosophy that encompasses all aspects of life. In the raja (royal) yoga tradition that developed in ancient India, the great yogic teacher, sage, and wisdom translator Patanjali defined yoga as the cessation of all mental fluctuations; all wandering thoughts cease and the mind is focused on a single thought.

When we add both yoga and meditation to routines, we are essentially working with two sides of one coin.

Though a Buddhist principle, the Five Remembrances remain among the most profound teachings in existence for anyone who chooses to study them. Contemplation of these five teachings allows us to better understand what’s permanent, what’s not; what’s real, what’s not; what’s within our control, what’s not; and what’s important, and what’s not.

These five powerful teachings are:

1. I am of the nature to grow old. I cannot avoid aging.

2. I am sure to become ill. I cannot avoid illness

3. I am sure to die; there is no way to escape death.

4. Everyone I love and all I hold dear are of the nature to change. I must be separated and parted from all that I love and hold dear. There is no way to escape being separated from them.

5. I am the owner of my actions — they are my only true belongings. They are the womb from which I have sprung. Whatever actions I do, good or bad, of these I shall become their heir. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

Reflecting on The Five Remembrances puts our physical existence in perspective. Accepting the fleeting nature of life helps us appreciate it more. Let’s look at each one more closely and how it can potentially influence our daily existence.

Remembrance #1 — We are all getting older in every moment — babies, teenagers, those at mid-life and those beyond. So when we find ourselves in pain at the reality that our skin is wrinkling, our hair is graying, or our eyesight is weakening, this is a moment to remember acceptance.

Remembrance #2 — We are frail beings, so delicately crafted and subject to the whims of our environment. Infections, colds, viruses, and disease co-exist with us in every moment. The stronger we are physically and emotionally, the more resilient we can be to the impact of these realities. Science has now proven that meditating on a daily basis boosts our immune system, lowers blood pressure, and helps relieve stress and anxiety.

Remembrance #3 — You and I are going to die. That is the stark reality of this existence. No one gets out of here alive. We are born, we live our lives, and then our bodies die. The first part has already happened — you came out of the womb a while ago. And we have little control over when we take our last breath. But that middle part — the living — that we can make magnificent in every moment. Here we are right now, filled with life and capable of living fully, loving fully, and sharing our divine gifts with the world. Right now, we can commit to being our best version, taking our lives from where they are to where we’d like them to be.

Remembrance #4 — The two-fold reality that everything changes and that we will be separated from all that we love takes some time to settle in. The challenge with change is not that it is the constant in every moment of our life, but that it speaks to the larger issue of impermanence. We live as if the things we surround ourselves with will be here forever. But only the universe is here forever. Just as we were separated from our mother at the moment of our birth, then on the very first day we went to school, and then when we finally moved out — those were profound moments of separation. Since then, it has become painfully apparent that our entire existence is one of separation..

Remembrance #5 — Our actions have consequences. They ripple on into infinity. Every action and utterance is indelible in the space-time continuum. People hold on to our words forever — long after we’ve forgotten we even spoke them. And, our first inclination might be fear, but the reality is that our words and actions have the ability to soothe, uplift, inspire, calm, awaken, re-assure, transform and manifest our reality as well as the reality of others. Since our actions are our only true belongings, we have been given the gift of being more aware, thoughtful, impeccable, and purposeful before we speak or take action. This also gives us the ability to manifest our true desires.

For many years I worked in the worlds of finance and business amid the wild corporate swirl of New York City. For a time I even worked on one of the higher floors of the World Trade Center in Tower 2, now referred to as Ground Zero. It was a career many would be proud of and to look at my life I should have had everything. But I was miserable.

One day I realized — as my life was spinning out of physical and emotional balance — I had stopped meditating, a practice that had once brought me joy and deep fulfillment. Instead, I often awoke at 2 a.m. with a painful knot in my stomach that stayed there through the day and into the evening. I ate my lunch at my desk while texting, chatting on my cell phone, typing e-mails, and wolfing down a sandwich . . . all in five minutes. And I realized I had been doing that for almost fifteen years.

I was sleepwalking through my life — waking up, burning through the day, performing my “job,” coming home, eating dinner, reading a book or watching TV, and passing out. I felt empty, adrift from any guiding principle, and was second-guessing my choices in life. I started to question the value I contributed to those in my life. My personal and work relationships were stressed and strained. Believing my options were limited and convinced there was no out, I was desperate to re-write the script of my life. If only I knew how.

And so one day in SoHo, as I walked past a row of cardboard boxes in which homeless people were living, a soot-covered hand reached out and grabbed my pant leg. Suddenly the moment began revealing itself in slow motion. A curious face peered up at me and asked, “What’s gonna be on your tombstone?” Face to face, soul to soul — connected in a transcendent, cosmic moment, it took my breath away.

All the street sounds and voices around us faded into the background as a high-pitched whoosh encased my head like the sound in your ears as you lay in bed after you’ve attended a really loud concert. He tightened his grip on my pant leg, pulling my attention down with his fingers as he hoisted his body up, and inching his face a bit closer. We leaned into each other and matched gazes. Time stood still as our eyes locked for what seemed an eternity.

Tears came to my eyes, and I mouthed the words to him, “I don’t know.” My mind was a tsunami of thoughts, memories, and desires. Yet, now, sensing his knuckles resting on my shoe with his open palm face up, I assumed he was asking for some charity and I reached into my pocket intending to give him a few dollars. Clairvoyantly, he reached up to stop me and pressed his hand against my pocket, pinning my hand inside it. “It’s not about the money. The answer is in the stars,” he counseled in a raspy whisper. “Just find your sacred powers.”

I wandered aimlessly for hours after that, his pointed words reverberating through every cell in my body. What was going to be on my tombstone? What was my purpose? I felt like a prisoner living eternally on death row, stuck in a painful purgatory with no reason for being.

My mind was overflowing with smoke-filled images of the collapse of Tower Two, just blocks south of the downtown office building, where my staff and I had stood on the roof and watched in horror on that fateful day. So many we knew and loved and so many more we’d never get to know. For me, the psychological fallout from 9/11 drifted somewhere between emptiness, a profound sense of emotional grief, and a primal wake-up call — the deep need to live a life of purpose.

That night, as I shared my day’s story with my wife over dinner, she handed me a piece of paper. She had sensed my daily pain and had explored a few deeper options for me to consider. One was a meditation retreat in England with Deepak Chopra. She encouraged me to follow my heart. A work colleague advised me, “Jump and the net will appear.” One of my yoga teachers suggested, “Quit your job today. The universe will provide.”

And so, my journey began…
