Allowing The Law of Abundance

The Law of Abundance is the lesser known sibling of the Law of Attraction, which by now, millions of people know about.  Okay, I haven't actually taken a survey, I'm just guessing.

The Law of Abundance is equally important.  It states that there is an infinite supply of abundance, from Source, available to each and every one of us.  Without fully accepting this concept, we can use the Law of Attraction to our heart's content, but if we don't believe in infinite abundance, than it makes attracting it to ourselves impossible.

The reason most people don't believe in an infinite supply or that they deserve access to it, is because of our screwed-up idea of money.  In this case, I'm equating abundance with money, since most of the material possessions and experiences that we want is traded with money.

People think that there is a limited supply of money, and that we must fight over what supply there is. We must compete for the better job, that promotion, better sales, etc...

People also believe that "money is the root of all evil."  The fact that money provides us with a heck of a lot of happiness seems to get forgotten.  Money IS NOT the root of all evil.  I don't know what the root of all evil is, or if there even is a root, but it's the idea that money is scarce that is what is truly causing the problems.  Not money itself.

If you're not at that place of understanding this, than you've got some work to do.  You've got to learn how to allow abundance to flow to you.  Think of it this way: You're not trying to get to money, but money is trying to get to you.  Now look at all the ways you are blocking money from getting to you.  I'd like to suggest looking at the statement mentioned earlier: "Money is the root of all evil."  What a wall to put up!  You're making it very difficult for money to get to you.

You've not only built a wall, but you've got sentries patrolling it, on the look out for money, ready to shoot it down at any moment.

Another way in which we block money from getting to us is to worry about it.  I know, I know, I'm guilty of this too from time to time.  But the more I've worked at it, the less and less this happens.  And you know what?  The less I worry about money, the more it seems to come to me!

So How Do I Stop Worrying About Money?

I'm not gonna lie to you here.  You've got to put in some effort.  You've got to stop focusing on your lack of money and start to focus on what you do have, and what is coming your way.  Plan what to do with that money when it reaches you.  Make lists of things you want it to buy.  Imagine and feel the enjoyment of buying that new car and driving it.  Put yourself right there behind the steering wheel.  Feel the sun on your skin as you lie on that tropical beach.

Do I  Deserve To Be Abundant?

That's a question you need to ask yourself.  If you think you don't deserve it, or you're not good enough than that too will block money from reaching you.  Do you have a limiting belief about yourself that prevents abundance?  Mine used to be that I wasn't capable enough.  Where did it come from?  Well, I'm the youngest of 3 children and I am the only girl. Growing up, a lot of things were done for me, by my well-intentioned older brothers (who I love to death, by the way).  But it very likely gave me the idea that things were done for me because I couldn't do them for myself.  How did you grow up?  Take a look at your family environment and you will probably also find the root of your limiting belief.  If I asked my brothers today if they thought I was capable, they'd look at me like I had 2 heads and say "Of course you are!" Once I realized that I was the only one who believed I wasn't capable, I started to work at destroying that limiting belief.

Figuring out your limiting belief and facing it head on is an important step in allowing abundance to flow to you.  Beliefs are just a thought we keep thinking.  Once you've determined your limiting belief, keep a watch out for it, and when it rears it's ugly head, change your thought.  Not easy, I know, but necessary.

Our Universe is expanding and evolving (thanks to the Law of Abundance), and you are a part of that Universe.  You can expand and evolve right along with it.  In fact, that what's you're supposed to be doing.
