Living an Abundant Life

Dearest hearts, may we remind you that abundance is not confined to your bank balance. Although we recognize that money is the energy of exchange used most often in today’s world, we must stress that a person rich in coin who is poor in love for self and others is poorer than the one who is without home and sustenance. Abundance is not a matter of money.
When you take your focus away from the numbers in your bank account and place it solely on your state of well-being, you will be pleased to discover an upwelling of abundance in every area of your life
Money, your current measure of success, is like the waves in an ocean. It ebbs and flows as need or desire arises but abundance, which is energy, doesn’t need to become a trickle or a flood, it can be kept in a steady flow that will ensure all of your needs are met. It is to this state of fulfillment that we wish to direct your attention at this time. When you take your focus away from the numbers in your bank account and place it solely on your state of well-being, you will be pleased to discover an upwelling of abundance in every area of your life. As you focus on what’s right, what feels good, what brings you joy, and how you can contribute to the world around you, the entirety of your being begins to rise. First, you’ll experience an improved mood and better sleep, then you’ll begin enjoying a greater sense of physical vitality and increased clarity of mind and, finally, you’ll see that your material well-being increases.
Since you, just like money, are a vibrational product, you can offer complimentary or contradictory energy to the vibration of money and in turn to the vibration of abundance
Understand that money is not the master. Money by itself is without power and has no ability to effect change. It’s the energy behind the currency that determines whether it will be used for good or ill. Since you, just like money, are a vibrational product, you can offer complimentary or contradictory energy to the vibration of money and in turn to the vibration of abundance. This vibrational offering goes beyond money and indicates an overall sense of well-being. We mentioned before that a poverty of love for self and others is the poorest spirit but now let us explain why. When you hold love in your heart, you’re in a state of expansion. This expanded state draws to you everything that is like itself. This includes everything that either holds or can be used to create expansion. Expansion is the greatest state because it most imitates the Divine beingness of completion. Money, may or may not signify expansion. Money that’s used to uplift, inspire, encourage and motivate others is money used in the most magnetic way possible. This money energy will attract more goodness and fulfillment as it creates a life of joyful ease for the user. Money that’s used to show off, gain power and subjugate others generates negative energy, and those who use money in this way, as a club to beat others down, will find they’re unable to enjoy what they’ve collected. There will be no life of ease and joy to be found, instead there will be disharmony in relationships, illness in the body and/or mind, and upheaval in many directions.
Within every situation, no matter how bleak, there’s an element of right. Your job is to find it
The secret to abundance is not to be found in your ability to collect and hoard large sums of money but instead to align with the highest good in every situation. When you allow yourself to serve with the gifts you have been granted, you’ll experience abundant well-being throughout your body and your life. You may not be the wealthiest person in the room but you’ll be the most abundant. Serving by offering your gifts doesn’t mean working for no pay. Serving by giving, means giving your best to every situation and person you encounter, and in turn expecting to receive the best for your efforts. It means that you look for and find all that’s right in the world and then share that with others. Instead of negative or condemning self-talk and conversations you look for, honor and respect all that is going right and help others to do the same. This is not you expressing the Pollyanna viewpoint of naivete but a realistic look at everything that represents good, worth, and blessings for all. This doesn’t mean you look at what’s wrong and pretend it’s good. No, this practice suggests that you look at what is and find every good thing contained within it. Within every situation, no matter how bleak, there’s an element of right. Your job is to find it.
When you’re surrounded by everything that feels good and is right you’ll be overflowing with abundance
Living an abundant life doesn’t mean pretending to be grateful when your belly is empty or your soul is weary. Being abundant is a state of being that includes both blessing and receiving. As you look for and focus upon what’s right in every situation, you’ll call to yourself more that’s right. When you’re surrounded by everything that feels good and is right you’ll be overflowing with abundance. A steady stream of blessings will find you as you continue to bless others with your gifts and the light of love that is your authentic being.
True abundance is a life lived from the heart in which blessings stream from you and to you in a never-ending river of prosperity
Abundance is your birthright, it’s available to all and it’s unlimited. However, it’s not confined to the numbers in your bank balance. True abundance is a life lived from the heart in which blessings stream from you and to you in a never-ending river of prosperity.
