If someone had told me forty years ago that a simple meditation practice would change the course of my life, I’m not sure I would have believed them.
I didn’t begin meditating because I wanted to manifest more money or attract my dream career. In fact, manifestation wasn’t even on my radar.
I started meditating because I was searching.
After what I often refer to as my crisis of faith, I found myself longing to reconnect with the comfort of the Divine that I had experienced as a child. I wasn’t looking for a new religion or a different belief system. I was looking for that quiet sense of peace that told me I wasn’t alone.
That search eventually led me to Wayne Dyer.
After reading The Power of Intention, I couldn’t get enough of his work. I picked up another of his books, Manifest Your Destiny, and inside its pages I discovered something that immediately resonated with me: the Ahhh Meditation.
It felt right from the very beginning.
And after all these years, I still come back to it.
Why Meditation?
People meditate for many different reasons.
Some meditate to reduce stress, or to improve focus, or to become more mindful.
For me, meditation serves a different purpose.
I believe it is one of the most effective ways to quiet the conditioned mind – the endless stream of thoughts, fears, doubts, and old programming that constantly competes for our attention.
It’s difficult to hear your inner knowing when the monkey mind never stops talking.
Meditation creates the silence where something deeper can finally be heard.
The Evolution of My Practice
Wayne Dyer explained the Ahhh Meditation in a way that deeply touched me.
As I remember it, he believed that many names for God contain the sound “Ahhh” – God, Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh – and that producing this sound was a beautiful way of connecting with Source.
For years, I practiced the meditation in much the same way he described it. But like many things in life, my understanding evolved.
As I began studying the work of the HeartMath Institute and Dr. Joe Dispenza, I started integrating heart awareness, elevated emotions, and pineal focus into my practice.
Eventually, something clicked.
I began thinking of the Ahhh not simply as the sound of God, but as a vibrational signal.
Science tells us that all matter is energy and that everything carries a vibrational frequency. It simply made sense to me that my own energy could be expressed in this way.
Today, I think of the Ahhh as my own unique vibrational signature – a signal intentionally sent into the fabric of the Universe while holding a clear intention in consciousness.
That understanding is what eventually led me to call this practice Vibrational Meditation.
The Practice
Although Vibrational Meditation includes several elements, I don’t try to do everything at once.
For me, it unfolds as a progression.
I usually begin with gentle moving meditation music and spend the first few minutes simply allowing my conditioned mind to quiet down.
Once I feel more settled, I move my awareness into my heart.
This is where I draw upon the teachings of HeartMath and Dr. Joe Dispenza, intentionally cultivating elevated emotions such as gratitude, Love, and awe.
I don’t rush this part. I allow myself to genuinely experience those feelings.
At some point – and it is different every time – the Ahhh sound begins to emerge naturally.
I don’t force it.
I let it flow.
As the vibration continues, I gently shift my awareness toward my pineal gland, often called the third eye, while holding a clear intention in my mind.
Finally, I release that intention completely.
This may be the most important part of the practice.
I trust.
Not because I know exactly how or when something will happen. But because I’ve come to believe that the Universe cannot return to me what I’m still holding onto.
Release creates space.
Trust creates openness.
And from that place, possibility begins to emerge.
Why I Keep Coming Back
People often ask why I continue practicing the Ahhh Meditation after all these years.
My answer is simple… Because it works.
Time and time again, I’ve watched this practice accompany some of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
I used it while focusing on LeiLani’s recovery.
I practiced it while envisioning the apartment that eventually became my home in San Francisco.
I returned to it while seeking the position at ARAMARK.
It was there as I started my virtual administrative business – Tiermark.
It supported me through opportunities with the Virtual Assist agency, TNCC, working with and the acquisition of our Flooring Success Systems clients.
Do I believe the meditation alone created those outcomes? I don’t. I believe it was the beginning of a partnership.
But I also believe it changed me.
It quieted my fears.
It strengthened my trust.
And I believe that as I aligned my thoughts, emotions, and intentions with a clear vision, the Divine began placing opportunities in my path that reflected that intention. It was still up to me to recognize them, say yes to them, and take action, but time and time again I found myself meeting the right people, stepping through the right doors, and moving toward outcomes that once seemed impossible.
My Invitation to You
You don’t have to believe everything I believe. You don’t have to use the same words I use for the Divine. You don’t even have to make the Ahhh sound if it doesn’t resonate with you.
My invitation is much simpler.
Give yourself permission to become still.
Quiet the conditioned mind.
Open your heart.
Allow gratitude, Love, and awe to arise.
Listen for the quiet knowing that has always been there.
And if, at some point, an Ahhh naturally wants to emerge…
Perhaps let it.
You might be surprised by what begins to unfold.
Because in my experience,
Knowing is the signal.
Feeling into it is the practice.
Trust is the foundation.
And from that trust, manifestation becomes possible.
