Greetings beautiful souls and welcome back! ⭐
Today’s post is about how to recognize and receive abundance. I feel this is an important topic, because most of us focus on money first when we think of abundance. And while yes money is a form of abundance, it is not the only form. There are many different forms of abundance.
I’ve been doing this Full Abundance Change Me Prayer every day by Tosha Silver for the last 4 or so weeks. You can click on the link to read it yourself! And I encourage you to read it every day too for at least 8 weeks, if you want 🙂
We’re gonna talk about what has happened since I started reading that prayer every day. We’re gonna talk about how to recognize all kinds of abundance, not just money. And we’re gonna talk about how to receive it all :)
Why is this important? Because many of us don’t know how much abundance is in front of us, right here, right now! And many of us don’t feel worthy of receiving it!
Let’s Talk About Money & Abundance, First
Money is one form of abundance, but it’s not the whole thing.
Most of us from a young age were taught consciously or unconsciously to “chase money”. We built our whole careers around choosing a stable path with income and benefits. Some of us did this at the cost of our true soul worth and value.
I was one of those people. On paper, pharmacy was such a good career! Great pay and benefits, and I was mentally stimulated by it for sure. But in my heart, after a point, I knew it wasn’t fulfilling enough. Working for money without a true purpose, it’s soul sucking :(
You are not your money and your money isn’t you.
In and of itself, money is actually pretty useless 😀 Like, if it couldn’t buy anything, and it was just there by itself in your bank account, it would be meaningless. Money only has value because humans assigned value to it. Money isn’t good or bad, it’s neutral. It’s a tool used for the exchange of goods and services.
How you use your money matters! Are you using it for healthy and nourishing things that enhance the overall abundance of your life? Or are you using it for things that bring you down and don’t serve you? Like addictions, porn, or anything “obligatory” that is not in your highest good?
Recognizing Money Abundance in Different Ways
A lot of us were trained to think that money comes from one place - your employer. That can be true if that’s what you believe, lol. If you believe it can come from many sources, that’s what you’ll see too. But if you only see money coming from your employer, you’re always going to thirst for more of it… from your employer.
(We get thirsty for money when we view other people as our source, instead of Divine Source as our source for abundance.)
Here are some “less obvious” ways for money abundance to show up in you life:
Discounts
Coupons
Gifted money
Surprise money
Free stuff
Donations
Tips
Gifts
There are many, many ways, for money abundance to reach us, if we are open to it. You might already be receiving things like this!
There Are Other Parts to Abundance & Wealth Too
Having good health. Connecting to your spiritual power. Living in a desirable place. Having healthy food on the table. Being friends with or in relationships with people who are nourishing to you. Being in nature. Spending time with loved ones or pets. Doing meaningful work!
Living a well-rounded life, and feeling good on the inside - that’s true abundance!
What Reading This Prayer Every Day Has Done for Me These Last 4+ Weeks:
It has taught me to give more selflessly. It has taught me to trust in the universe providing for me. It has allowed me to relax back into my energy a bit more.
Here are a few cool things that have happened since reading the prayer:
I set up quite a few free energy healings and coaching sessions for people, and that was really fun! One person even tipped me $50 afterwards 🙂
A couple of energy healing clients have proposed I do group healings for their staff appreciation or group gatherings! 💗 something I would have never thought of myself!
There have been three select times when I thought of a long-time friend or cousin who I hadn’t talked to in a while, and within seconds or minutes they reached out to me over text 😀 One dear friend said she feels “inspired and delighted” by my blog!
Another friend thought of me as a good candidate to host a group workshop for her other friend’s group!
A dog sitting client told me that I had “amazing energy” and she didn’t worry at all when she left her dog with us :)
A chef from a blog that I follow personally wrote me a thank you email for leaving comments on her recipes! She said she can feel my “light and abundant beautiful energy” through my words! 💗
I got a new Manduka yoga mat, retail price $84, for $24!!! With free shipping 🙂 I’m not even sure how - it wasn’t on sale. It was also delivered in one day. I had been holding off on buying a new yoga mat for a while… and what might be more abundant than the savings and speedy delivery is the actual experience of yoga on a new, grippy mat!
I received an extra $60 (~30% tip!) through my dog sitting business!
How to Actually Recognize Abundance?
Be present and pay attention. And if that’s hard, imagine the good that is in front of you wasn’t there, or is the opposite of what’s there. Then you’ll really feel grateful for what you have!
How to Receive Abundance
On one hand, feeling worthy is helpful. But if you recognize that all abundance comes from the Source, you can recognize Source in all of the things you are receiving. These things aren’t really you, they are Source in disguise, which takes your ego out of the picture - so there’s a level of detachment that’s created, which releases the need to grip, grasp, worry, or chase for more. Or to feel guilty. Then you can see you are already enough, and you always have and can receive the perfect amount.
It also helps if you say thank you :)
Applying It All
Recognizing Abundance
Let’s try some examples: how many leaves have fallen to the ground (in the Northern hemisphere). How many houses are in your neighborhood? How many Christmas lights have been put up. How many paved roads are there? How beautiful and safe and warm is your house this time of year? How much food is in the fridge or pantry? How many molecules of air are you breathing each day? How many breaths are simply given to you? Without you even having to ask?
What if you lived somewhere with no access to food, roads, music, art, nature, bathrooms, comfy beds, parks, people, clean water, WiFi, or anything else? That would suck! It’d be so boring and weird, dirty and uncomfortable.
Life is always giving to you. This whole life was made for you. What could be more abundant than that? And to recognize this, past money, makes life a little richer.
Receiving It, Then Releasing It
Recognizing that the Divine is the Source for all prosperity allows you to release any need to chase or grasp for more, receive what is coming to you, and then let it go when it needs to go.
Abundance is simply a flow of energy. Money is a flow of energy. It comes and goes, it flows. We don’t own anything. We are simply stewards of God’s stuff. When we remember this, we can let go, and allow things to come and go as they please.
So let’s enjoy what’s flowing to us now, and how we choose to spend that time, energy, love, or money, and all of the other abundant sources of wealth that are part of our lives too.
I hope this post helps you see you are truly abundant! If you don’t feel this way, all it takes is a shift in perspective. You are divinely abundant and it’s time you see it too!
Where in your life do you recognize abundance? Write in the comments! It may help other people too :)
Lots of love and take good care!!
