Wealth is not what you think

Every moment, you are invited to be mindful of the way you view yourself. Notice how the mind invites you to define and accumulate wealth.  Be wary.  Material wealth and physical attributes do not bring lasting pleasure.  The quality of the relationship you have with yourself is key to accessing the flow of wealth as joy. 

So, the nature of joy you experience and how secure you feel in the process is a measure of success.  Being heart-centred enables you to feel your way into states of abundance. Being mindful of this practice invites other kinds of abundance into your life.   Begin with an abundance mindset.  Be open to feeling fulfilled. Here is a guide to allow more abundance into your life.  Notice your inclinations and freedom to shift focus:

1) Respond rather than react

(Allows you to assume role of objective observer.  This aligns you with personal power, expands your awareness.  You choose to see from a higher vantage point, get in touch with Higher Self and develop your capacity for compassion.)

2) Interact using kindness & honesty rather than attack, defend or criticize

(Whenever thoughts focus on criticism, you put yourself through unnecessary stress and anxiety which stem from the control of negative ego. Be aware of where thoughts are heading.  This helps you see expectations as they arise and what silently drives your choices.)

3)  Accept innate worth, goodness & beauty rather than deny or overcompensate

(To connect with your authentic self is to be in touch with feelings, and to focus the quality of your conscious thoughts on love, joy individuality and freedom)

4) Recognize your unique being rather than compare yourself to others

(This is an invitation to be aware of the dominant voice that guides you at any given moment.  Notice if this is the judgmental oppressor or the part of you who already sees the best results.) 

5) Focus on who you are becoming rather than the past

(If you feel plagued by self-doubt, this leads you astray, distracts you from true reality and what is possible.  Remain sensitive to your feelings and know when you diverge or go off track.  Hold a clear vision of your optimum future self.  As this is reinforced, your subconscious moves from your existing self-image to align with this and manifest a new reality.)

6) Be generous with Self rather than stingey or scarcity- minded

(Unless you are compassionate and generous with yourself, and willing to take positive action to support your best interests [and those of others], your life will remain unchanged. To experience an abundant life, simply open your heart and let love in.)

7) Be open & receptive rather than bossy, manipulative or controlling

(Notice breakthroughs you make as you see yourself from a more expanded point of view.  The challenge is honouring your feelings and allowing yourself to trust them.  Monitor the intensity of your will. Be flexible rather than resistant.  Notice how smoothly life flows as you allow it.)

8) Be conscious of how you think and feel rather than unconscious

(Sensing your deepest feelings is a gauge for how you are progressing through life.  Your soul always calls you to adventure.  Intuition allows you to know instinctively and directly.  This gives you access to deeper wisdom through inner senses,  a more expansive view of what is available to you.)

9) Be responsible & open to all possibilities rather than blame & deny

(Turn your back on your inner critic.  Give up arrogance. What parts of Self do you pledge to accept?Declare a clear positive intention to attract what you desire.)

10) Focus on humility rather than judge and be righteous

Whenever you are about to make a life choice, ask yourself this - where am I coming from?  Does the ego- mind drive or the heart centre inspire my action? The heart is key to your authentic being and opens the door to something far deeper.

Allow authenticity to speak

Every moment, the mind thinks and speaks using words.  What you choose to utter reveals your sense of self-worth and much more about you than you realize.  What do you hear yourself say? What are your word choices telling you about authenticity?

Authenticity is unconditional love.  Being this is doing nothing but implicitly accepting who you are without fear. It is seeing life energy, the shared force, in everything. It is all seen through the lens of love. You are aware the conditioned mind blocks you from seeing universal oneness. When you say "I think," this echoes a sense of doubt or dissatisfaction already. Notice what you imagine into being for whatever purpose you also imagine.  Allow or resist presence that is, the unwavering love that embraces all.

Choose to truly listen. What do you notice? Write down some of the words you use. Notice the feelings that aise.  Be aware of emotions. Words are defined concepts that are, by nature, limiting. Even now, you are invited to learn and unlearn self-perception. Notice thoughts and feelings may draw attention to reasons for feeling less than perfect, less than unconditional love, peace, balance and well-being, that are all inside.

"All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind."
- Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

Make every moment count

Through humble surrender, each person is invited to open the heart to the deeper truth. As our self-worth increases, we let more love in and let go of suffering.  Notice what is happening as you let go of beliefs about what is right and wrong, let go of desires, ambitions and be an empty cup. We step in and out of dimensions based on where our energy vibration aligns. To grow more conscious is to open the mind to possibilities and clear cellular memories.  The universe reflects whatever you believe. 

Making every moment count means knowing everything that unfolds invites you to learn something.  Allowing yourself to feel negative feelings is a step in letting them go. As a momentary reaction, you can see everything through the lens of love and embrace all parts of yourself.  Comparisons, judgments, and memories prevent you from releasing your personal stories. Feel what you feel without focusing on it or allowing it to control you. The feeling leaves your energy field and reveals the timeless being that is you.

"Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count: everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted." - Albert Einstein

Why surrender to broader knowing?

Every moment of physical existence, you are conditioned to resist what the heart tells you.  This happens as you are invited to adopt language and symbols, as you are taught to make choices that please others, as you are inclined to favor doubt over intuition.  That which you hold as your object of attention is part of your way of filtering and exploring what matters. You engage in life with selective awareness by choice.

Now, in this moment, new perspectives are always arising. Beyond the body you see, the essence of being is actually a force of energy. It sends you messages from a state of complete allowing, a state of no resistance.  That is, your personal perspective shifts into an observer. This witness is a perspective of broader, cosmic knowing.  It does not judge, doubt or fear.  As a pure consciousness, you are non-physically focused. This energy vibration is the most dominant vibrational part of you that shapes your perceived experience. So, why surrender to this broader knowing? Why Be your Dream now?

Notice what happens as you observe the ego mind rather than believe all it says and allow yourself to be contolled by it.  Focus shifts to unconditional love and appreciation of everything. Difference no longer exists. You see everything as a divine reflection. There is no separation. If you encounter conflict or judgment and take it personally, notice your energy vibration. How you feel about others mirrors how you are treating yourself. The state of your external world mirrors the vibration of your inner world.

"All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling." -Blaise Pascal

The things we love most

You might wonder if you can truly love anything more than anything else.  Everything being equal, the essence of being loves all the same. Yet, during your process of remembering in physical worlds, notice inner evolution.  As you identify and focus on positive aspects of all situations, you invite clarity, allow well-being, feel a greater sense of relief and draw toward you more experience that is meaningful. 

Notice how often your habits of thought resist or deny that everything serves you.  This includes all those encounters with friends and relatives that evoke discomfort, fear and negativity inside you.  The more you choose to feel good about where you are, the more reasons you attract to feel good.  As you reflect, you realize what you love most about existence is messages of unconditional love are everywhere.  You are reminded of contrast to encourage you to 'snap out of' temporary amnesia.  Know you are worthy.  Trust all is well. Sense you are in a perfect place to laugh, love and appreciate every moment you are given.
