Does Meditation Make Your Wishes Come True?

# Does Meditation Make Your Wishes Come True?

Hello, I’m Iruru.

Do you meditate?

When you look up “manifestation” and the subconscious mind, you’ll find “meditation” recommended everywhere.

I meditate sometimes too, especially when my mind feels like it’s spinning out of control.

But when I first discovered the subconscious mind, I dove headfirst into meditation thinking it was some kind of magic formula for getting what I wanted.

What is meditation actually for?

Some people do use meditation to manifest their desires, and I’m sure they get amazing results from it.
But when I meditate, I’m really just trying to pause and clear all the thoughts (ego) spinning around in my head.

Some people use meditation for manifestation, and I believe they experience real benefits. But when I personally meditate, it’s to temporarily quiet that constant mental chatter (the ego) and create some space in my mind.

When I meditate, I close my eyes, breathe slowly, and focus completely on my breath. I concentrate only on inhaling and exhaling. Gradually, all those swirling thoughts start to fade away, and my mind feels clear and refreshed. It’s such a peaceful feeling.

Especially when I can’t stop negative thoughts, even a short meditation helps me step back from them a little.

I used to think meditation was the secret to getting everything I wanted.

The goal is living in the state of already having it.

 

I believe meditation’s real purpose is making it easier to live in that state of already having what we want – by quieting our thoughts (the ego) during meditation.

Our thoughts (the ego) don’t disappear completely as long as we’re alive – they keep coming up. Personally, I don’t get dominated by my ego like I used to, but I still notice ego-driven thoughts in daily life.

What’s changed is that now I can often think, “I might feel a little anxious, but this is just my ego talking, so I’ll let it pass.” During meditation, that runaway ego tends to calm down, or rather, I can step back from it and observe it objectively instead of getting completely caught up in it.

This ability to step back is incredibly helpful for staying in the state of already having what I want.

You don’t need meditation for your desires to manifest.

By the way, your dreams won’t fail to come true just because you don’t meditate.

If you don’t feel like doing it, you don’t have to. And if you’re just looking for ways to “quiet your ego,” there are plenty of other methods you can try.

For example, Ho’oponopono is wonderful.

Ho’oponopono is simply repeating the words “Thank you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, and I love you.” You can just repeat these four phrases in your mind without any particular emotion or target.

The purpose of Ho’oponopono is to cleanse your wounds, thoughts, and emotions, but when you’re repeating the words, no other thoughts can get in – so it feels like your thoughts (ego) are completely shut out. I do this often when my ego is going crazy.

If your thoughts are racing, why not try a sport you enjoy, like running or tennis? I can’t think about anything else while I’m exercising, so it naturally quiets my ego.

Personally, I love more intense activities, so I often do things like diving, kayaking, and waterfall climbing. Other things that work for me include playing and practicing musical instruments, cooking, and getting absorbed in work.

When you’re doing something like that, you’re so focused on the activity itself that you can’t think about anything else – your ego just disappears. In that sense, I think it’s very similar to meditation.

I also recommend relaxing activities like going to a sauna or getting a massage.
Sometimes I just think, “I’ve been overthinking everything, but I don’t care anymore – I just want to feel good.”

I’ve shared a lot of ideas, but these are just examples. Your desires won’t come true simply because you do them, and they won’t fail to manifest just because you don’t.

The only thing that matters is “you attract what you believe.”
It’s okay if your ego shows up – just ignore it and be yourself. That’s really all there is to it.

Once you develop the skill of ignoring your ego, it becomes much easier to dismiss those chaotic thoughts, so try meditation or whatever method feels right for you.
