Create your own Luck

Many see "luck" as something that you either do or don't have. Funny enough, those that "have" it- usually don't even see themselves as being lucky. The truth is "luck" is something we can all have. It is all about changing your perspective.

Try these meditations to help increase your luck:

1- Be present- Lucky people live in the moment. They appreciate what they are doing and don't look too far ahead or too far behind thinking about what has been or what could be. To do this, take this very moment and sit in your surroundings. Notice your breath, see everything around you- especially the small things you look over on a day to day basis, noises in the background, the temperature... notice it all and be present.

2 - Express gratitude- Lucky people are grateful for what they have whether it be  big or small. This sets the Law of Attraction in motion allowing more positive energy (luck) to come into your life.  To increase your positive energy, practice a gratitude meditation. Sit, eyes closed, and think of everything good in your life. If you have a hard time finding positive things in  your life, begin with the fact that you are alive, that the sky is blue and the grass is green.

3- Do things for others - Once again working with the Law of Attraction, doing good for others brings good fortune into your life.  Think about the last time you did something for someone- even something small- didn't it feel wonderful to give? Doesn't it automatically lift your spirits knowing you made a difference- even a small one- in someone's life? Doing for others doesn't have to be a physical act, meditating on one's happiness is just as effective. To do this, think of those suffering in this world and visualize beams of light covering them, washing over them like a  bath, ridding them of all the pain they have.

Try each meditation for 10 minutes and see if your "luck" changes.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
