Open Your Life to the Abundant Flow

If aren’t receiving the abundance and prosperity you want, you may be unknowingly blocking the flow. Many people, through self-sabotage, actually push abundance and prosperity away. The question is, how do you open the flood gates to the abundance life that you deserve and know is possible for you?

Abundance is the experience of plenty. Plenty of what you truly need and want in your life; material and otherwise. Catherine Ponder, in her book, “Open Your Mind to Prosperity,” says “You are prosperous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health and plenty in your world.

When you are experiencing true abundance, you have passion in your life, positive relationships, life experiences that you cherish and desire, personal and professional growth and development, and individual moments that you savor.

People often come to me saying, “I’m not sure what I need, but I know I need something. I’m just not happy with my life the way that it is.” When I ask them what they want, virtually all of them say they want more peace, more meaning and more fulfillment in their lives.

So, what’s the missing link? In our culture, abundance is often equated with getting more money. Yet, the pursuit of money often draws our body, mind and spirit out of balance. Having money isn’t a bad thing and you should feel free to pursue any amount of money that feels good to you. However, many people have made the pursuit of money the main source of abundance which in turn can leave them feeling drained, searching for more meaning, fulfillment and peace in their lives.

What does abundance mean for you in your life?

1) What kind of life would be ideal for you?

2) What positive priorities would support that vision?

3) Who and/or what are your most precious possessions, relationships and experiences?

4) Are you allowing yourself the time and energy to do the things that spark your most creative power?

5) How do you currently use your gift of time?

Write a summary statement of your answers. Are you currently living your life according to what is most valuable to you? Are there some things that you would like to change?

So many people postpone pursuing their dreams because we think we’ll get to them later, when we have more time, or when something happens first. As a result, too many people go through life feeling weighed down by daily responsibilities, “shoulds,” “have-to’s,” and “musts.” We become prisoners of our own self-doubts and being disconnected from our values, our purpose, and what brings us abundance in every moment.

Abundance and prosperity is about doing what matters to you in every moment, and feeling fulfilled and alive now. If you’re like most people, getting clarity on your purpose, values and your right path that brings you the true and meaningful abundance you want may seem like a nearly impossible task. For many years, I have been helping people transform their lives by unearthing their gifts, their true potential, and creating their plan to let their most rewarding path unfold and lead a life of fulfillment, success and meaning.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away.”

The Power Of Archetypes

  I promised you more about Archetypes.  Some of you told me that, before you received my newsletter, you really didn’t know what archetypes were, or what it means to you.  So, here is what I know….

  Archetypes is a tool we can use to draw us closer to personal awareness and discern where our unique personal power comes from at any given time in our own life’s journey.  When we identify with a certain archetype, we are effectively peering into our own set of unconscious traits. 

  While some may not have heard the term “archetypes” before, or may not completely understand what the potentiality in understanding them is, I assure you that you do know what the idea of archetypes is.  Remember Walt Disney’s Beauty and the Beast?  Belle was the Hero (Heroine), while Beast is the Outcast.  Cogsworth is the Responsible.  Mrs. Potts, the Nurturer, and so on. 

  The different archetypes (I gave you 12 primary archetypal characters in my 9/13/10 newsletter) are really labels for a particular set of traits, characteristics and expected behaviors.  So, when you think of the archetype (or label) “Teacher,” you get an image of what characteristics and traits that person might embody.  When you think of the archetype (or label) “Hero,” your mind automatically conjures up a set of ideas of what you could expect from that person.  In fact, think of all of the Disney movies you’ve seen, and you’ll understand how each story is written to include certain archetypal personalities and how they interact together.

  These inner guides – archetypes – have been with us since the dawn of time.  We see them reflected throughout the ages in art, literature, mythical stories and even religions.  Look around and see that archetypes are found everywhere, in everything.

  Why is this important to you?  Well, archetypes can serve as our inner guides to help us on our journey through life.  When you understand more about yourself, and how others perceive you, you become more self-empowered, and true to your soul.  You can make a conscious choice to find and express your unique gifts more fully in the world.  Each has its own gifts, strengths and ways of being.  Each presents its own set of lessons and challenges  

  Archetypes are also described as an energetic pattern that resides within our unconscious at different stages of our lives.  Each archetype that comes into our lives brings with it a task, a lesson, and ultimately a gift.  And the best part is that all of the archetypes reside within each of us.  Which means that we all have this full human potential within ourselves, and it is up to us to draw upon each one as is appropriate.

  When you identify your particular set of archetypes you can really begin to understand the patterns you experience in your life, both positive and challenging.  You can see how certain situations, people and experiences continue to show up in your life that either benefit you or tend to throw you off balance.  When you recognize these as energetic patterns in your life, you can understand how you really are drawing these experiences into your life!  You can also better understand how to work with each as it comes.

  Here are just a few of the benefits of identifying which set of archetypes are prevalent at various times in your life:  You can more clearly see

  In my work with clients, I give them a brief assessment that helps them identify which archetype is the primary and which is the supporting influence in their life.  We use this, along with other highly effective tools, to get a deeply insightful perspective on what the client needs in her life to bring her the greatest amount of joy, purpose, meaning and satisfaction in her life.  When clients get this kind of insight, they always tell me that I have given them a perspective on life that they’ve never had before, and have “finally given them permission to be themselves.” 

What’s my primary archetype?  The Alchemist – A visionary, making dreams come true, transforming what is into its highest potential.

You say you want it, and yet, your actions (or lack thereof) take you in a completely different direction.  Then you say the Universe doesn’t work for you; that you never get what you want.  And you let yourself believe that is the truth.

I believe you know the real truth.  And, I believe you are ready to let yourself  know that truth.  I believe that the pain of hiding your soul in the shadows is no longer tolerable.  I believe YOU are ready to live your authentic life and be YOU!

Now you are ready to discover your authenticity, act in your power, and everything begins to open up and flow abundantly.  You are now free and joyful.  You easily attract the right people, events and things into your life.
