A daily meditation practice that connects gratitude, vision and purpose
Tony transformed his meditation practice by following The 6 Phase Meditation for a month until he could guide himself through it. The structured approach helped him connect gratitude, future vision, and daily action into a powerful 18-minute routine.
I practice The 6 Phase Meditation, created by Vishen Lakhiani. It’s a guided meditation that I did for about a month straight, and then I started doing it on my own.
It’s a great practice — you spend three minutes in each phase. You do three minutes on forgiveness and then three minutes on awareness or the light inside you that’s connected to the world. Then you do three minutes on what you’re grateful for from the day before. It can be anything — something good that happened to you or your family or seeing a beautiful sunset or tree. The fourth stage is looking to the future: Here, you think about where you will be in three years. Go wild with that!
During the fifth stage, you focus on what you need to do today in order to make those things come into your life in three years. You see yourself going about your day accomplishing those things.
The sixth phase is saying thank you to a higher power like God or whatever you believe in.
