My best response can be found in the Deepak and Oprah 21 Day Meditation Challenge November 2014 - day 14:
Oprah:
Hello everyone, here we are.
The end of week 2, already and may I say again, how honored Deepak and I
are to have you all share in this meditation experience with us. And I hope you feel it too, as we gather this
tribe of seekers and meditators from around the world. We continue our journey with day 14- Spiritual
Manifestation. .
So how do you know when you’re in the flow of spiritual
manifestation? Your desires arise from
your core self, from a place of pure awakened consciousness, that’s how. When you’re manifesting from your true self
you’re deeply connected to what your soul came here to do. Rather than your desires creating an outcome
of constantly doing and getting more and more and more; your desires are in
search of being and becoming more. And there’s a sense of contentment, of joy,
of harmony and love that abides in everything that you do. These
outcomes are exactly what the universe is waiting to have us all manifest. What an extraordinary gift you give yourself
and to the world when you allow your deepest, truest most cherished desires to
come alive and flow from you and to you and be realized. This is what spiritual manifestation is all
about.
So today we are going to open our heart to everything that’s possible. Wow, that’s a big opening. As Deepak guides us into our meditation.

Deepak:
Congratulations on completing week 2 of our meditation experience. This marks an important milestone. Everyone wants to attract better things into
their lives but now you’ve gone deeply into the art of desire and you know what
the mechanics of manifestation truly are.
This knowledge can benefit you for the rest of your life. The culmination of week 2 is to manifest your
spiritual desires. These include the
desire for inner peace. Direct
experience of the soul and connecting with God or however you conceive of the
divine. There’s a false belief that the
soul is separate from the body and that desire is there for low while spirit is
high. This separation is manmade. As far as your true self is concerned,
fulfilling your most cherished desires is totally spiritual. In fact, this is what the spiritual path is
all about. As you reflect on what you
want to manifest in your life, think of what you hope to feel when you achieve
it. If you know you’ll feel loving, kind
contented peaceful nourished and safe.
Your desire has its roots in spirit because these are qualities of your
true self silently awaiting to manifest.
As your consciousness awakens, the qualities of your true self awaken
too. Waking up simply means becoming
more self-aware. It is finding out who
you really are. The process is natural
rather than mystical. Open to everyone,
not just saints and sages. When you awaken
by practicing meditation you’re on the path for fulfilling spiritual longing,
love bliss and freedom. Learning to live
from this level of pure awareness, is known is Sanskrit as Sithi. The word may be ancient but the goal is
timeless. It exists for you, here and
now. Encountering your soul happens
without effort because your soul is just as eager to connect with you. As we prepare to meditate together let’s take
a moment to consider our centering thought:
Fulfilling My Dreams/Fulfills My Spirit
Now let’s prepare for our meditation. Make yourself comfortable and close your
eyes. Begin to be aware of your breath
and just breathe slowly and deeply. With
each breath, allow yourself to become more deeply relaxed. Now gently introduce the mantra;
Shreem Namah
This mantra helps to manifest abundance, that brings us
closer to spiritual fulfilment. As you
repeat the mantra, feel the integration of material and spiritual abundance in
your consciousness. Repeat it silently
to yourself, Shreem Namah. With each
repetition feel your body mind and spirit open and receive just a little
more. Whenever you find yourself
distracted by thoughts noises of physical sensations, simply return your
attention to silently repeating the mantra; Shreem Namah, Shreem Namah. Please continue with your meditation, I’ll
mind the time and when it’s time to end you’ll hear me ring a soft bell. Shreem Namah, Shreem Namah, Shreem
Namah. Just mentally….Shreem Namah,
Shreem Namah, Shreem Namah.
“All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the
manifestation of love.” ― Morihei Ueshiba
