The Abundance Consciousness

When we think of abundance, we usually focus on money, but abundance encapsulates much more than this one form. Like everything else, abundance is energy. Since each of us creates our reality, when we focus on its opposite, or lack
consciousness, we will receive from the Universe exactly what we are creating—more lack. When we focus on the abundance that surrounds us at every turn, we can then begin to see our world through the eyes of our innate Abundance Consciousness.



At this point, you may be thinking, "Yea, yea...easier said than done!" I know. I have been there myself. I tried thinking positively about money. I repeated every affirmation under the sun in order to increase my finances—all to no avail. When it came to money, I didn't truly believe that my thoughts would actually create more money, so they didn't. In other words, it is the feeling behind the words that actually creates your reality. I clung so tightly to my lack consciousness that my belief in this reality continued creating more poverty. Who wants that?

Thankfully, that all changed when I decided to look up. While walking through a park, I noticed the abundance that was absolutely everywhere I looked. I could barely contain my enthusiasm! There wasn't just one tree, there were hundreds of trees. There wasn't just one leaf. There were millions of leaves. There wasn't just one blade of grass. There were billions of blades of grass. After noticing the abundance around me, my mind wandered to the beach, where I saw trillions of grains of sand. Even in my own cupboard, I have thousands of grains of salt in its container. Abundance is absolutely everywhere—even in my own kitchen!

Most people think that millions, billions and trillions of anything is far more than we can comprehend, but in reality we see this much stuff every day. By connecting to nature, we have a direct link to the Abundance Consciousness. And that's a great place to live. One can't help but feel the rapture of the Divine's Infinite Source. When we connect to this energy, other forms of abundance will come knocking on our door too—and that includes money.

The most important ingredient in this Abundance recipe is being thankful for what is already here. Expressing our gratitude to the Universe for everything we have and everything we see shifts our energy to the positive. It tells the Universe that we are happy to be here and that we appreciate all that is. In doing so, we create the manifestation of more things in our existence and therefore more to be grateful for.

The thing to remember is that we are all meant to live wildly abundant lives. Wealth is not simply meant for the 1% of our population who try to control it. It is meant for everyone. Simply release the fear and allow the Universe to do its thing—and it will.

Think Abundantly. Express Gratitude. And Create. Abundance is only a thought and a feeling away.
