Opportunities to tap into more abundance surround you every day, no matter what “they” say. Whether its more joy, more ideas, more opportunities, or more money, when you access your Power of Abundance, you are able to see and welcome in the many riches that Life has to offer.

Why give into a sense of lack and limitation, when with a little shift in perspective, you can keep your Power of Abundance online and strong.

Here are a few scenarios of what it might look like when yours is offline in the money department, and in need of support:

• You’re worried and stressed about not having enough money to pay your bills, get food on the table, pay for your kids education, not to mention holiday shopping!
• No matter how much money you make, or how many material items you collect, you still feel broke, behind, or like there will just never be enough.
• The tension is so thick with your spouse around money that you’re walking on eggshells, hiding your purchase receipts, and just wishing Ed McMahon would show up at your door and solve all your problems.
• You wonder if you have some ‘worthiness issues’, maybe even deep in your unconscious, that create your money challenges.
• You feel overwhelmed at the thought of taking on anyone else’s financial needs but your own, which you already feel you can barely manage.
• You feel tight, fearful, and controlling, resisting change with all your might.
• You feel guilty about not giving any donations to your favorite charities lately, but you know you should hold on to what you have in these crazy financial times.

Prosperity is an internal state, not an external state of having a certain amount of money.

~Shakti Gawain, Creating True Prosperity

Chaya here…

Although prosperity is so much bigger than money, it’s money that’s been the big mirror for me of my consciousness and where I’m at.

On one hand, I’ve generally felt incredibly prosperous for years, but for a long time my credit card debt made it clear that some money issues were still playing out.

About 10 years ago some good friends of ours inspired us to start tithing on a regular basis. It was always something we had wanted to do, because it seemed like a good spiritual practice. But, we thought it would be best to pay off our debt first.

Then I read The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity. Law #1 is, of course, Tithing. Give and the Universe will give back. Well, now this just felt like I’d be trying to manipulate the Universe. But I decided to do it anyway. And I did feel manipulative, at first. Although I wasn’t proud of the thought, I was hoping that by tithing, we would increase our income.

Every week I put money into an account I created just for our tithing savings. I researched charities and found ones that really moved my heart.

One of my early favorites was Operation Smile, an organization that corrects children’s cleft palates around the world. These are kids that might be hidden away from society and even thought of as monsters in some cases.

It turns out, for $250, Op Smile can perform cleft lip surgery, give a child a  smile, and oftentimes, give them a life they’d never had. I’d squirrel away our tithe money until I had $250 and send it to them in one chunk.

Can I just tell you how amazing that felt?! We were able to pay for a child’s surgery and transform their life! I couldn’t believe how prosperous I felt inside, knowing that we were able to do that.

Then came the moment I felt the big shift.

I was laying in bed one night, saying my gratitude prayers. Up until then, I’d usually include a prayer for more money to come our way to help us pay down our debt.

That night, my prayer shifted. “Please God, send us more clients or find a way to increase our income so we can help more kids get their smiles fixed!” I had such a deep yearning, such deep gratitude for the opportunity.

All my cells were so filled with this magical potion called generosity, that I couldn’t hold back the tears.

Of course you know what happened next. Feeling so prosperous created a vibe. The Universe answered in kind.

Our debt began to shrink faster and faster. And while I felt happy about that, it paled in comparison to the feeling of abundance and generosity that was born.

See the abundance that is already flowing in your life, and let it grow!

Gold energy is so powerful! The benevolent Kings and Queens of old, who would look out for their kingdom and make sure everyone’s needs were met, had the Power of Abundance in spades. Here’s what can happen if you strengthen yours:

* Instead of stress, paying your bills will be accompanied by gratitude for all that you have….heat, water, electricity, cable, and those wonderful kids who desire to go to college!
* You’ll be filled with a trust and a knowing that there is enough for you, you’ll be safe and cared for, and all your needs will be fulfilled.
* Your conversations with your spouse about money will end in hugs, not hurt.
* You’ll step into your powerful, radiant self, confident in your own worthiness.
* Looking out for others and even taking on responsibility to help them meet their needs will not seem daunting, but rather like a worthy challenge.
* You’ll recognize when change needs to happen, and discover how to flow with it comfortably.
* You’ll feel rich and powerful on all levels, with time, energy, and money to donate….making you feel more rich and powerful yet!

2 ways to access the Power of Abundance

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I am generous and prosperous.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Abundance Vibrancy Essence daily. It will help you loosen your grip on your own time, energy and purse strings, and to discover that all you give will come back to you tenfold.

As you give, so shall you receive.

“Withhold no good impulse. You may fear that you will run to excess and squander too much, but those feelings are born of fear. In God’s reality, the more you give of yourself–in feeling, generosity, self-expression, goodness, creativity, and love–the more you will be given.”

~ Deepak Chopra

May your life be filled with abundance!
