Prosperity is a complex and evolving topic. Each person has a unique path to follow to achieve abundance this lifetime. What worked another lifetime may not work this lifetime. The formula for one person may not be the winning formula for another. Please keep in mind that the path of your own success is revealed by following your intuition, heart and Divine guidance.
The energy of Capricorn reminds us that we must master the physical dimension of reality by taking one step at a time up the mountain of life. There are no free lunches in Capricorn territory. Everything is earned by hard work and merit. Mastery is the prize offered by Saturn --the ruler of Capricorn. With self-mastery comes the deep satisfaction of personal growth and achievement. Nothing can replace the feeling we get from the accomplishment of our goals through our own discipline and effort.
Aquarius teaches us that we are here to make our contribution to humanity. Satisfaction in Aquarian territory comes from innovative and selfless service to higher goals. Aquarius dictates that we must be our own unique self and enjoy the freedom of “being me”. It is through connection with our own soul that our contribution is revealed to us.
During this time of the year when the Sun is in Capricorn (Dec. 21- Jan. 18th) and in Aquarius (Jan 19th- Feb. 17th), it is appropriate to ask ourselves if our hard work is appropriately aligned around making our unique contribution. If not, what can we do to shift at least some of our energy towards satisfying service?
Prosperity Meditation for Alignment with the Universe
Alignment with universal energies is critical in achieving prosperity. We receive blessings from the Universe when we are clean, clear, straight and kind. We often block universal energy flow through our beliefs and belief system. “Spiritual” people often have erroneous beliefs that prevent them from excelling. This can include lack of self-esteem, problems with self-worth, guilt about receiving, thoughts of bargaining about exchange and reluctance in giving, i.e. false beliefs about the abundant nature of the universe.
Prosperity mantras and meditations facilitate our alignment with universal energies. Consider the following mantra and meditation. This mantras is chanted pumping the navel center (below the navel) with each Har, using the tip of the tongue. The “H” sound of Har opens the heart - it is felt at the heart center. Pumping the navel with each Har pulls energy into the physical reality. If we meditate on the meaning of each of the other parts of this mantra, we realize that it contains all the aspects of God. Chanting this mantra imprints our aura and being with these qualities and aligns us with universal energies.
This mantra has 40 sounds. It effects the 5 tattvas (air, water, fire, earth, and ether), the 7 chakras and the arch line. This mantra can penetrate into anything and help avoid misfortune. It has the power to break through any resistance or obstacles. It is sacred but it is not secret. This meditation has been given by Yogi Bhajan to be successful during these challenging times.
Yogi Bhajan has taught many meditations and mudras (hand positions) using this mantra. On January 15, 1989 Yogi Bhajan taught the following meditation.

Comments:
Har means God, the Krishna aspect. Without the “Har,” this is called the Guru Gaitri Mantra. It eliminates blocks or curses from the past and cleanses the aura so that it is easier to meditate and relate to the Infinite. It is an ashtang mantra, which means it contains the 8 vibrations that balance the brain. This mantra was given by Guru Gobind Singh who was the 10th and last Sikh Guru. (1666-1707). The tongue hitting the palate ridge activates neurons in the brain, which brings prosperity if done correctly. The closed eyes, fixed on the tip of the nose, focuses our attention, centers us and stimulates the pituitary gland. You can make a recording of your own voice singing this mantra in any melody or in monotone. Listening to your own voice is a very effective way of imprinting the vibration in your subconscious.
