The Article - Living in Abundance

This is such a huge area in spiritual and personal development and quite often it can be the reason why people start to look at their own spirituality and life. There seems to be a combination of people either feeling like they are not abundant enough or that there is so much more waiting for them but it is how to either change or access the relationship with abundance that becomes the holy grail.






Abundance can obviously mean a lot of things, the first thing that tends to spring to mind is around money, but in the same way, love, health, opportunities, people, etc can all be used in relation to abundance. In this article I want to take abundance in the more general sense and you can then use what you connect to and apply it in any of your life circumstances.I believe there is no reason why any all of us cannot experience the joy of knowing that our lives are abundant. Life is abundant! However, more often than not we all struggle to experience this constantly. Clearly this happens to a lesser or more degree depending on your individuality. What makes you feel abundant is going to be different to someone else. Let's take the money example. Two unrelated people find that they are given the same amount of money, through something that they are doing. One will feel abundant and the other will not. The other may feel they should have had more, or that they have not been honoured through the amount of money they received. The question in my view is, where is this programming coming from and what are the components that come together to make us feel abundant or not. Of course, the bottom line is learning, growing and attracting abundance as well as discovering, connecting and celebrating the existing abundance in our lives.






I have broken the answer down into the following sections:






1. Personal Choice: Like all areas of our life each of us has the ability to chose. Using the example above, one person chose to feel abundant and the other chose not to. This does not make one right and the other wrong, all it does is decide how the relationship with feeling abundant will manifest. Add to this component the universal law, that like attracts like, which easily translated is the reality you chose to plug into will be the reality that plays out for you, as you will get more of the same. If you want to experience an abundant life then you can consciously chose to feel abundant. It really is as simple as that. Of course, I know in reality and through experience becoming conscious can sometimes feel turbulent, it's the process of change and awakening to the fact that you can consciously choose that creates some discombobulation for a while, but what follows is bliss!







2. Letting go: Abundance is not a tangible thing, there is no measure that is universally accepted or given, there is no formula that says 'X amount of something=abundance.' Therefore we are all going to have different notions of what the quantity of love, money, health etc makes us feel abundant. Even this thinking is misleading in my view, abundance is not quantifiable, it cannot be pinned down. Abundance is a feeling, an emotion, a state of mind. Working on letting go of fixed amounts, or deals with the mysterious abundance gods, fairies, angels, universe etc means that you can focus on and nurture the emotion of abundance. This comes from within. It is about whether you chose to feel abundant or not.







3. Surrender and Trust: The recent increase in books, talks and workshops in this area, have in some way fed the illusion that exists. It is not possible to attract specific detailed things always, if it was then I would have attracted Johnny Depp to me a long time ago! There is a fine line between being over specific because you do not trust anything is possible as well as, being disconnected from your own truth, your own journey, your vision and simply trusting and surrendering to both yourself and the giving universe. Indeed limitless possibilities exist, but they will be unique to you and link to your soul essence and your divine purpose. Sadly, for me that means that attracting Johnny Depp was not part of my divine purpose...;-) I use that example, but think of it on a more day to day level, if I am trying to attract abundance in areas which are not yet activated for me and in doing so am I ignoring where I do have abundance? I am not saying, don't think big, but this is a journey without an end, it is a process which build on steps that you have taken and from growth that you have experienced. I might be someone who has a loving and supporting family through which I could chose to feel abundant and instead all I think of is that I do not have enough money. The energy is going to flow to the 'not having enough part' and my connection to abundance will feel incomplete, it will feel like something(s) are missing from my life. Part of feeling abundant, therefore is about surrendering and trusting the process, the process of life and the divine knowledge that everything is as it should be...that is unless you take no....







4...Action: I have written about this before and those of you who are new can find my article on Taking Action, by clicking here....In order to support and increase your levels of abundance, you have to take action. I had a vision at the start of this year that I would be serving through this eZine a community of over 1000 people. Back at the start of the year this seemed far fetched, but I took action through all the work I have done and this now doesn't seem like such an impossible task. I have in this eZine, asked for your help in making this happen. In taking action there is so much you can do, change your mindset, actually start physically working towards the abundance, acting 'as if', asking for help. As I have said before, it is rare to an almost impossibility to find that the universe comes knocking on your door, when you are sitting around doing nothing. However as much as you know you deserve to live abundantly, the energy now requires you to take action towards experiencing it. It is about each of you, taking personal responsibility.







5. Peace: This is something that is really important when it comes to attracting abundance and feeling abundant. Be at peace with yourself, experience that peace in your heart. This is something you need to activate in your heart, through conscious choice and I find that heart centre meditations are really powerful to support you in this. Working towards this type of inner peace also helps align all aspects of your self, so that you can start to discover your true divine purpose much more clearly, and get more detail about it as well as working in alignment with the universe and other elements that form part of your journey. Remember panic, fear, lack of trust etc grow rapidly and create more of the same. Working towards inner peace means you are already well on route to discovering that you can and do live abundant ally and this as you well know will attract more abundance into your life...one thing feeds the other! Remember living abundant ally is your divine inheritance!



Do you consciously chose abundance?...
