Introduction

If you are inclined to engage in spiritual development, then perhaps the most difficult and interesting task for you is to bridge the gap between what you do during the day in your professional activity and the events of your spiritual life. Turning to these two worlds will help you realize how successful you really are and how successful and satisfied life you feel.

This book is a collection of lessons on how to use the magic of the spiritual world in the business world. Taken together, these lessons represent the warrior's path of success. A warrior of success is one who can harmoniously use the knowledge gained through spiritual practice in everyday life. And also one who can take with him to the secret worlds the affairs and discoveries of working days. This is a two-way street.

Meditation for money? Strange meeting

You can successfully engage in worldly affairs and at the same time spiritual growth. But on this path we need mentors and role models, those who have walked this path to us.

Many of us think that entrepreneurs start a business out of a desire to become rich. But the startup path itself is always rewarded: it is full of lessons about ourselves. Some consider meditation a way to achieve enlightenment. But meditation is a way where the process is no less important than the destination. Whether you do everything right or make mistakes - you get lessons about yourself.

All the religious traditions of the world tell us: what we see around us is not all that “is here”. Meditation is a practical way to cleanse our mind, open it to the perception of what is happening in other, usually hidden worlds.

Our actions and the way we think and interact with other people are constantly changing our future. By changing this interaction, we can change the future.

Light deja vu

In the business world, the ability to see the future is paramount. Of course, the future is not set in stone. It is always in motion. We all start a business because we have a certain idea of ​​how things will go. But not all of us are successful, because the future is not always what we expect.

Ramaswami, the author’s spiritual guide, says: “The most important part of my teaching is that actually starting a business is not just starting your own business, it is about finding your own unique path in this life and following it. I train to use the world of business as a way to get to know myself better and teach how to apply the knowledge gained about myself to achieve greater success in the business world. Only when we truly know ourselves and our destiny can we feel truly successful in the business world. Otherwise, we either will not succeed, or, even worse, remain unsatisfied. "

The warrior's path of success is the path of the seeker. If you follow the instructions of a mentor, he will show how to transfer an exciting sense of adventure into everyday life. Creating a business will look more like a treasure hunt than a risky venture. On this path, you can find many things: success in business and meditation, personal growth, your true self. It is important to learn how to pay attention to yourself and your inner feelings.

To become a warrior of success, turn your career into a treasure hunt. And to find the treasure, follow the prompts! As a rule, they are premonitions, intuition, deja vu. Usually a hint is given by something from the outside that your subconscious mind considers important.

The business world, the world of science, art and literature is full of examples of people who have experienced an “unusual feeling” that they were “called upon” to start a business, write a book or make a specific film. Finding your future is not a matter of logic, it is a matter of intuition. What is your future calling you to do? Use your intuition, follow the prompts and you will find out!

Keep a log of important tips. During the day, pay attention to cases when objects, events or people around you cause you to have strange, inexplicable, in terms of logic, feelings: premonitions, deja vu, unusual sensations, etc.

At certain points (lunch, sunset, before bedtime), think about the past day and what you managed to notice. Describe the strange feelings you experienced during the day and what caused them. These are your tips. To understand what exactly is worth recording, you can use two important signs.

If something seems unusual, then it is very likely that this is a clue. If something repeats, then it is very likely that this is a clue. Hint series should be given more attention than a single hint.

Engine stop

Many people think that entrepreneurs start a business as soon as they have a good idea. But not so simple. It is necessary to fulfill some conditions related to market testing and product ideas. But more importantly, an internal feeling of confidence that you are ready to begin a meaningful and difficult path.

Most entrepreneurs overcome a lot of barriers before leaving the workplace and starting a business. They try to convince others that investing in their startup is a great idea, but often no one believes them, and no one is ready to sign it until they make a serious breakthrough in business.

In the end, when the clues about the existence of real reasons for starting a startup become widespread, the entrepreneur has no choice but to open a business. Often this serves as a point of no return. The lack of an alternative and the right timing are two clues about when to start a business.

Most startup books focus on external factors: how to open a business, write a business plan, analyze the market, find approaches to investors, manage employees, distribute shares in the authorized capital, etc. All this, of course, is important, but no less important internal factors of entrepreneurship.

Starting a business is a part of your life path, it is a creative act - no less than writing a picture or book. There are no two artists who paint the same pictures, two writers who write the same books, and no two entrepreneurs who start a business exactly the same. Opening a company is a complex and multi-step process of starts and stops: you come up with an idea, try to test it, then convince other people to enter your company, find employees and as many customers as possible before the business starts working.

Most often, the interlocutors tell you that you are crazy and your idea will not become a viable business. The main thing is that all these starts and stops do not dampen you. It is necessary to use every step forward to put all the elements in their places and, when the right moment comes, start your own business.

Understanding the motives of every person you offer to become a partner in the early days of business is crucial. Perhaps your future partner is going to get married, he just bought a house or plans to do something else in the next few years. Knowing the motives will lead to a much more effective partnership.

A new kind of meditation

The success warrior skillfully uses for the spiritual development the two largest parts of our lives - work and sleep. Basically, life consists of sleep, work, and only a small part - of everything else. We examined the idea of ​​using work as part of meditation practice.

There are many forms of meditation. Most of them begin with concentration, but the ultimate goal of meditation is awareness. If you have never meditated, it is better to first learn one form or another of meditation, and only then learn to use work as a meditation. The warrior of success is daily engaged in a form of sedentary meditation.

It is important to start training the mental muscles of attention - this will lead to greater clarity of mind and streamline thoughts. The disorder and congestion of consciousness during the working day is the cause of incoherent and poor sleep. Thus, a vicious circle arises. In the end, a calmer and more focused state of mind will lead to deeper awareness. Awareness of what? And here you have to find out.

Exercise. Start with a simple sitting meditation, concentrating either on breathing or on some part of the body for 10 minutes a day. Sit on a chair, put your hands on your hips or knees, close your eyes. Find the area of ​​the body on which you will concentrate, for example, the navel, focus on it and the physical sensations associated with it. After taking a few minutes, you will soon find that your thoughts began to wander. Return your mind to the point of focus, in this case, your navel.

Use your work as a form of meditation. To do this, make it a rule to do only one thing at a time. To be able to meditate eight hours a day, turn the work into a chain of periods of concentration and train to say no to interruptions and distractions.

It is not as simple as it seems. When you concentrate on performing a task, set the status to “unavailable” in all messaging systems, close the e-mail and browser windows, put the mobile phone in silent mode. The main thing is to consciously control your attention during the day, and not to let it “wander” under the influence of circumstances. How to find out that you are doing everything right? You should not feel exhausted at the end of the day.

Exercise. Turn your work tasks into warrior tasks. Suppose, for example, that you need to enter numbers in a spreadsheet. Try to concentrate on this task, use it as an exercise, the true purpose of which is to train your consciousness.

One of the author’s students used this exercise when entering data. The boss noticed an increased quality of work and improved it. Every day, choose a task at work that you need to do, but usually you do not find pleasure in its implementation. Turn this task into an attention exercise and try to keep your mind engaged as long as you complete it. Try not to let your mind wander. So, you have turned an annoying duty into a warrior task.

Introduction to Energy

The author thought about the email he received today from Ramaswami: “The main question for the success warrior is the study of energy. If you understand energy, you begin to understand hidden worlds. If you can know the hidden worlds, you can also know the visible world. And vice versa".

Energy research is a key issue for a warrior to succeed. If we learn to feel different types of energy and how we get it, lose it and exchange it, then we will begin to understand our energy model, which at the same time helps and hinders us in attempts to achieve success.

The energy model is how we hold energy in our field and handle the mind and body. Energy models are “filters” through which we see life and react to the world around us. They play a significant role in the way we make decisions.
