In loving memory of Bob Proctor
There are a few people you meet in life who change your trajectory forever.
For me, one of those people was Bob Proctor.
If you’ve ever listened to The Secret or stumbled upon an old YouTube video of a white-haired gentleman talking about “paradigms” and the power of the subconscious mind, that’s Bob.
He was one of the world’s most beloved teachers on prosperity consciousness.
He spent over 60 years helping millions of people reprogram their thinking to unlock abundance, confidence, and self-worth.
But for me, Bob wasn’t just a teacher.
He was my first mentor.
The day Bob Proctor threw me to the wolves
Back in 2005, Bob came to Malaysia to give a seminar.
I was just a young entrepreneur—no fame, no followers, no stage experience.
Right before his talk, he turned to me and said,
“Vishen, I want you to introduce me.”
I froze.
I’d never spoken to an audience before.
But Bob just smiled that mischievous smile of his—the kind that said, “You’ll thank me later.”
So I walked on stage, palms sweating, voice shaking, heart trying to escape my chest…
And I absolutely butchered that introduction.
But that’s how Bob operated.
He had this uncanny way of pushing you into discomfort—not to watch you squirm, but because he knew that’s where your next level lived.
And I often wonder…
Where would I be today if Bob hadn’t given me that first uncomfortable push?
The day Bob walked into the Mindvalley office
Fast forward to 2014. Bob visited the Mindvalley office in Kuala Lumpur.
He gave an unforgettable talk, filled with that trademark blend of wisdom and fire.
And then, just before he left, he said something I’ll never forget:
“I’d like to record a meditation for you.”
So we found the quietest corner we could—a simple desk, my old iPhone 5—and hit record.
That’s how The Abundance Meditation was born.
The audio wasn’t perfect (thank you, 2014 microphone quality).
But what poured through Bob’s voice was pure magic.
We uploaded it to YouTube and later added it to the Mindvalley app.
Over the years, 4.2 million people listened to it.
It became one of the most loved meditations in our library.
So, what is abundance meditation about?
Let’s unpack the Abundance Meditation and how it will help you.
It’s not just about attracting a bigger bank balance.
It’s about rewiring your mind to recognize the abundance that’s already here.
Think of it as turning up the volume on the good stuff.
Bob Proctor’s work is all about mindset, and this meditation is a concentrated dose of that.
It’s designed to help you:
- Smash limiting beliefs: Those sneaky thoughts that tell you “not enough” or “not possible”? This meditation helps dismantle them.
- Visualize abundance: You’ll be guided to create a vivid picture of your abundant life. This isn’t just daydreaming; it’s programming your subconscious.
- Feel the feeling: The key isn’t just seeing it, but feeling the gratitude and joy of already having it. That’s what magnetizes it to you.
This meditation isn’t a magic wand, but it’s a powerful tool for shifting your perspective and opening yourself up to receive.
Just like you’re expanding your consciousness and building that solid foundation to manifest your intentions into reality.
The voice our community couldn’t let go of
Recently, our team decided to clean up the recording.
We used AI to remove the background fuzz and smooth the sound.
We thought we were doing a good thing.
But something surprising happened.
Our inbox filled up with messages from the community:
“Please bring back the original version.”
“We love hearing Bob’s real voice.”
And that’s when I realized something profound.
Perfection doesn’t always make things better.
Sometimes, it’s the imperfections that carry the soul.
A story that proves the power of practice
One of my favorite stories came from DJ Bliss, one of the Middle East’s top musicians.
During an interview, he told me he listened to Bob’s Abundance Meditation 100 days in a row.
What happened next was wild —
His career exploded.
He landed a spot on the world’s #1 reality show, Dubai Bling.
And he said, “That meditation changed my life.”
That’s the kind of magic Bob left behind.

Final thought
Every time I hear Bob’s voice say,
“You were born rich,”
I remember that day in 2005 when he shoved me onto that stage.
I had no idea then that he wasn’t just introducing me to an audience.
He was introducing me to my destiny.
Thank you, Bob.

Thank you for sharing Vishen- it is a beautiful and encouraging story. Covid brought family and friends together in a group and v continue transforming together with books read together and daily meditations and much more. We are reading Secret series right now and feel connected to Bob. I will do the shared meditation and also share. You are a great inspiration and I enjoy Mind valley and its content with all my heart.
Thanks Vishen for reminding us all about Bob’s wisdom and impact. I went through his 13-month coaching program ten years ago, and did a week long intensive and visited his home in Toronto efter that. An amazing man who left a deep mark on all the people he met.
Today I help people align with their true self and find flow, and I teach performance, resilience and human development in aviation. Many of Bob’s teachings have been woven into my courses and talks, so he still keeps making an impact even though he left this dimension almost four years ago. I’m happy so many of his talks and teachings are still available to the public.
Hi Vishen, I have been a Mindvalley member since 2021, but only recently discovered Bob Proctor’s meditation. I have been listening to it for the past month every evening, before I go to sleep. I even listened to it together with my 7 yr old daughter and she loves Bob too! I just want to thank you and the Mindvalley team for educating and inspiring me for the past years. My life is changing because I am changing after years of being trapped in the culturescape feeling like a scape goat. Thanks for setting my mind free! 🌻
I am deeply grateful every time I thing of the immeasurable gifts I have received from being part of the Mindvalley community over many years. The blessings this connection has brought into my life, the lives of my family, and my friends are countless and truly transformative.
Starting my career as a writer was a dream that spanned decades, and today, that dream has become my reality. I have found my calling, even been honored with a literary prize, and most importantly, I now walk with clarity—knowing exactly where I want to go and what meaningful messages I want to share.
Having something to give—and being able to give it freely—is one of the greatest joys and purposes in life. I wish to inspires others to embrace their own paths, knowing that the seeds we plant today can flourish into abundance tomorrow.
Vishen, thanks so much for sharing your story about Bob Proctor and his impact on you. I loved it. I’m from Toronto and had the pleasure of receiving a very personalized signed copy of Bob’s book “ABC’s of Success” in 2021. It was so special to me that I received this before Bob’s passing in February 2022. Later, I “attracted” Bob’s mediation and yourself on the Mind Valley App in the summer of 2023. You, Mind Valley, and Bob’s original Abundance Mediation changed the direction of my life as I listened it for over a month continuously. (yes, keep the original recording please!) I finally pursued my dream and became a large business entrepreneur in March 2024 at 56 years old after an extensive corporate career. Mind Valley has accelerated my spiritual journey and created a healthy mind through the daily guided mediations. Vishen, I am so grateful we got connected indirectly and I want to thank you for these professionally created mediations, podcasts & webinars to move aside our fears and have faith in the pursuit of our dreams. Thank you again and I hope to meet you and your team one day at a future Mind Valley event!
Listened to this yesterday while surrendering to period cramps, and the healing lavender energy definitely helped! 🩵 And just yesterday, I was telling my partner to watch out for a Mindvalley discount and here we are 💜🙏 ✨Synchronicity ✨
Vishen,
I just happened to open your email today with this story. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment of grace in your life. I can feel Bob’s heart and energy as he looked upon you in that moment as he said – I want you to introduce me. He saw YOU before you saw you. What a beautiful and brilliant moment.
Grateful Bob was faithful – and grateful you too have been faithful on the journey of saying Yes to your greatest self.
Appreciate you sharing the meditation, and your words. They have deeply impacted me today in ways words can not express.
Many blessings to you, your team, and the community of Mindvalley.

I so love Bob – the voice of an Angel from the other side. Also The Secret has been my coffee table Bible since it came out. The very best decision I made this summer 81 days ago was to become a Mindvalley member. Each day I start with your 6 Phase meditation Vishen-my perfect day keeps happening! Another favourite meditation of mine is Bliss by Paul Mckenna which I listen to daily. I attended one of his courses in London and was lucky enough to meet him. Every day the Mindvalley way I have more high energy, a passion for all I choose to do and so much motivation and extra courage too. I’ve just completed a 100 mile walk on the wild side and raised a few hundred pounds for charity, so onwards and upwards. Thank you Vishen for sharing your amazing story and everything that you do and give,I’m so happy for you. You are the best of the best.
I’ve listened to Bob Proctor a few times in the past twenty years, too, and he always inspires me. Thank you for these free gifts you share with us so generously. I truly hope you will fulfil your destiny and dreams for a new way of educating people in what really matters. I’ve followed you for many, many years and would just like to mention one thing you pointed out in one of your great webinars, which really rang true with me. You advised us to look at where people were going, generally, and the trends, and you said we should strike out in another direction, and basically not be a sheep. I really felt this resonate then, so I keep it in mind and would like to remind you of this because of the huge importance you are currently giving to AI. Please look at this with a much much wider vision, Vishen, You are a visionary and your name is so appropriate! See the cracks in the AI veneer and steer your course away from them – perhaps we can skip the AI lessons and jump straight to telepathy and spiritual wisdom? In gratitude.
Thank you for this Vishen! Great story and excellent meditation… I find my mind can wander off in most guided meditations, but Bob’s voice drew me in and I was hanging on each word. 100 Day Challenge sounds like a plan too 🙂
I am so grateful! My life would not have been the same without you, Vishen, and without Bob Proctor, and especially without that meditation. Thank you! God bless you.
I Love Bob Procter’s abundance meditation! If ever there was a masterclass in authentic delivery, this is it! It’s my go to at night & sometimes in the morning. Thank you Vishen & Mindvalley team. Love what you guys do. 🙏 Peter 😊
I never met Bob but I feel like he changed my life too, I had other mentors before him but hadn’t realized they were mentors to me! Bob made me realize that… I always said if I could meet anyone, he would be my first choice by a landslide!!! My wife and I listen to the Abundance Meditation regularly and we love it dearly! Thanks Vishen for sharing this incredible story!
Hello Vishen,
Thank you so much for shring this amazing or better yet a profound experince you had with Bob Proctor. Indeed he was phenomenal, I chanced on him 2012 and my life was never the same. I used most of his principles and also taught our children. When our son was diagnosed with autism in 2014 ,I refused to accept it as his destiny and today he is symptom free. I really needed to hear this today as I have started my wellness business helping other mums who are going, through what I experienced and have a mindset that nothing can be done to change it, which can be disheartening and sometimes feel like doing something else.
I can’t say thank you enough and for all the work that you do.
Stay blessed.
Your number 1 fun.

I listened to this meditation nearly every day in an unbelievable 3-month trip to Europe with my daughter. No real plan for how to pay for it after the first month but money miraculously appeared along our journey when needed. One day when we feared running out of money, we learned a powerful lesson about lack consciousness when we were trapped in a dark, cramped, filled-to-over-capacity elevator in St Marks Tower in Venice. Laughing later that our last meal could have been splitting a cheap pizza with no wine(!), we never scrimped again and never needed to. Instead I enjoyed and was so grateful for every meal, airbnb, and site we saw, and the fact that I got to experience it with my daughter. Every new destination proved the truth of Bob’s words that abundance is everywhere!
I still listen once a week or so to keep me tuned in and remembering that “abundance is my birthright.” Thank you Bob (and Vishen).
Dear Vishen, I appreciate you so much for your years of work and contributions to the planet to support me and everyone else in learning such valuable skills. I am learning to turn my back on negative thinking and look to my future with greater hope and clarity and intention. You ar eonmy heart.
Thank you for sharing the story of someone that brought light into your life and into the world.
I listen to Bon Proctor’s meditation every single evening… I love the kindness in his voice, the care, the reassurance… What a dear man…
Thank you dear Vishen for sharing this story… and for just like Bob, devoting your life to helping others… something I am trying to do too at a much smaller scale.
God bless 🙏🏻☀️❤️
