Emily Fletcher pictured above from Yogi Times University, created a unique meditation method called the "ZIVA-technique." Designed for busy, high-achieving individuals, this technique combines mindfulness, meditation, and manifesting. It's a simple, 5-minute practice that aims to provide deep rest and stress relief. Unlike some spiritual meditation practices, the Ziva meditation technique doesn't require clearing your mind of thoughts.

 

ZIVA MEDITATION
 

"Nishkam Karma meditation requires no effort, no focused concentration, and, thankfully, no struggling to 'clear the mind' ", explains Ziva founder Emily Fletcher in her book, "Stress Less Accomplish More." Instead of trying to force yourself into a cosmic abyss of black-hole nothingness, you allow the body to innocently and spontaneously access a deeply restful state."

Emily conveys that, ​

You need a daily practice of meditation to remove stress which impacts the body toward what is called a "deserving power" where you start to actually believe you deserve your dreams and desires. And then you can get specific about what it is that you want to create, and why you want to create it. From that place it's like the gap between your desires and your desires becoming manifest, gets shorter and shorter and it starts to feel kind of like magic, but it is not magic. It is removing the resistance obstacles (stressors) from your personal field to affect your desired change.

 

"The basis of Ziva [meditation] is built on an ancient "mantra" technique of subvocally reciting a single-syllable nonsense word, like the word, "one" over and over, while letting distracting thoughts bubble up in your mind and out of your space. The technique calls for a mental state [engaging your superconscious] that almost feels like drifting off into a nap. This mental state can also be referred to as a "wakeful hypnosis" state. Achieving this relaxed state is meant to make your Ziva meditation sessions as effortless as possible."
