Abundance is such a beautiful word. It conjures up images of a cornucopia, the stereotypical symbol of the American Thanksgiving holiday. My inner child likes to type it up as “a-bun-dance,” to suggest the fun of shaking your booty on the dance floor.
I’ve benefited from many teachings about the law of attraction in books, lectures, podcasts, and in other forms of media. I’ve become more positive, including more expectant of good stuff flowing into my life.
After years of doing affirmations, visualizing, and working to manifest my desires, I’ve learned some important things that I’ll share below:
1) If you desire something, help others to get it too.
Let’s say you need to find a job. You hit the pavement going to job interviews and sending out resumes, but nothing seems to work. Keep on working at it, but in your spare time, you can help someone else you know with their own job search. If you desire better health, contribute to the good health of others by sharing recipes, web links, or books. If you want to be in a romantic relationship, help others to get one. By helping others, you plant positive seeds. Of course, you don’t do things for others with the thoughts that it’s to help you. You just do it because you care and desire to be of service. I find that this practice is simple and fun, a bit like being Santa Claus to others, but year round.
2) Detachment works well.
I have found that if I effort or try to create something, especially according to my timing, it takes so much longer. Abundance is about being in the flow. It is everywhere if you pay attention and it’s always coming to you. You just have to receive. If you try to control how, where and when things will show up, it tends to block the flow. Sometimes, too, the Universe has a much better plan for you. So, yes, do your thing and work towards your goals and dreams. Don’t push so much. See where things take you. Be open that it might turn out differently. Plant more loving seeds for the future by being of service to others, especially if you get anxious, bored, stressed, depressed, or worried when things take longer.
3) Be happy and have fun.
The goal of my own spiritual practice is to be happy. When you’re happy and having fun, everything seems to flow better, including career, relationships, finances, life purpose, and health. The vibration of love is the strongest in the universe. You attract who you are, besides what you desire. If you show up loving in life, you naturally attract the good stuff that you desire. This feels good to me personally and it’s a huge relief. I don’t have to make my umpteenth vision board, or visualize until my brain hurts. I can just trust that what I desire will show up.
