hen most people think of abundance, they
think of money. Money is one aspect, but many elements come together to create
it - health, love, peace, compassion, spiritual awareness and connection with
the Source. When a spirit is connected to the Source of all, abundance flows
from a spiritual level and is manifested through the body. For example, "I'd
like pizza for dinner" starts as an energetic thought and the reality becomes
the physical
pizza.
We have all had the experience of ordering dinner and then relaxing and chatting with friends only to have dinner arrive, just the way we ordered it! Manifesting is the same way. You create the thought and then let go of it, only to wake up the next day to it arriving. The spirit part of you does the actual creating and the body part of you receives it.
What happens when the thought you created doesn't manifest? Energies that stop the natural flow of manifesting include fear, doubt, guilt, control, not letting go of it, pain, disbelief, negative thoughts and not being able to receive. Sometimes we have more energy in not believing we can have something than in knowing that we can. Have you ever had a day when a friend wanted to buy you lunch and you couldnąt accept it? You just couldn't allow yourself to accept a gift, so you went Dutch instead. This is not a problem, but a great observation.
What concepts wouldn't let you accept this friend's gift? How many other things do you push aside? Compliments, help, money, dinners, invitations? The list may go on and on! Now get curious. What are the payoffs for staying stuck? "I canąt make more money than my parents; I don't want to be viewed as competitive; if I have more than everyone around me, who will be my friend?"
Who would you upset? Who are you healing by staying stuck? Can you be mildly amused and let it go? Money is innocent - it is just paper. Your own energy determines whether it flows to you or not. The higher the spiritual energy, the more you attract. This can be love, money, health or whatever you want.
What would happen if you truly lived an abundant life?
You loved your job, your friends, your mate, and your children. You woke up
happy to greet the day and appreciated those around you. What if you
savored life and really lived it? What if daily you praised yourself and had
confidence in your abilities? What if you had permission to learn from your
mistakes, allowed yourself pleasure without feeling guilty, intuitively
made your own decisions, and did the things that brought you great joy
in life? Then we could say you were living abundantly. When you do it for
yourself you also create room for everyone else in the world to have it
all as well. Isn't it time we all lived abundantly and in peace? Let's do it!
Namaste.
