Meditation for manifestation

Meditation is a practice that is shared by many faiths and disciplines throughout the world, though not all.  It's purpose, most of the time, has been to clear the mind and connect oneself to a higher power.  But what does this mean for manifestation?

The power of all things begins in the mind.  I have spoken with countless people who buy into the philosophy that we make our own reality, yet these same people cannot, and will not meditate.  The problem is always that they cannot bear to sit in one spot for that long.

Doesn't anyone see the problem with not being able to be alone with your thoughts?  What the heck is in there that terrifies everyone so much?  And how can someone begin to think that they are manifesting their reality through their thoughts if they don't quite know what makes up most of these thoughts?  Many have told me that they fear losing control by letting things leave their mind, yet the nature of manifesting your reality requires that you make a request to the universe and then let it go.  Most people can't let anything go from their minds, let alone that which they want the  most.

So how do we begin to let things go so that they can take shape without our own self sabotage?  With the knowledge that even if the mind isn't currently running at full speed, it will when your meditation is over.  So relax and let everything go for a few moments, and leave your mind in the hands of G-d.  That's all your soul asks!  And after that, feel free to worry and fret about anything and everything, but at least give yourself an hour out of the day and know that your world isn't going anywhere.  It'll be right there when your meditation is over.  If you can live this way for more than an hour, I would recommend it.
