Abundance!

By Blythe Ayne, Ph.D.

In just this little sliver of the visible universe which we inhabit there is inexhaustible abundance - abundant life-forms, abundant stars, abundant air, abundant beauty, abundant water, abundant love, abundant experiences to fill us with awe, abundant blessings to fill us with gratitude, abundant opportunities to make life better for ourselves and others, abundant ways in which to be creative and self-fulfilled.

Consider putting into practice these four approaches to initiate your abundance:

1.) Acknowledge the many small miracles in your life

2.) Be filled with gratitude

3.) Begin a list of actions you can take that support your belief in abundance

4.) Shift your inner picture from one of doubt and a feeling of lack to one of comfort, joy, peace and abundance.

IT’S ALL ABOUT CAUSE & EFFECT

When you turn your focus upon the source, that is to say, cause,in each thing in your life, you will then begin to enjoy the effects. It is important to understand that the cause-effect mechanism is the operation of the Universe.

This source, or creative force is Abundance, individualized as you. The energy that keeps planets in orbit around a sun is the same energy - the same source - that beats your heart.

If the creative force is in you, and if the creative force is lavishly abundant (as clearly evidenced by the abundance in the universe) then you possess lavish abundance. You can choose to be lavishly generous as there is plenty, and more than plenty, to go around.
