PRACTICAL SECRETS OF ABUNDANCE: A GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL WEALTH
FROM SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE: A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION
My journey from scarcity to abundance has been a transformative one. As an entrepreneur, I was trapped in a mindset of scarcity, always strategizing to take more from others and hesitating to share what I believed I had earned. This fear of scarcity led me to a decadent and wasteful life, always wanting more of what others did not have. Despite earning a high income for 15 years, I had nothing to show for it. I had spent it all.
In my heart, I always knew that the universe would provide for me, which may have fueled my reckless behavior. But upon quitting my job and losing my income, I came to a profound realization: I am infinitely abundant, not just in money but in what I can offer to the world. All I need to do is progress in my own journey and help those suffering from what I have overcome or transcended. Since this understanding, my life has changed. Knowing that we are abundant in nature, I now live a life of conservation, grateful for everything that the creator provides for us.
Drawing from the teachings of Yogananda, I learned the importance of meditation as a tool to attract wealth. By cultivating inner peace, I aligned myself with the divine source of all abundance. Yogananda's four-part morning routine, consisting of meditation, gratitude, prayer, and affirmations, laid the foundation for a day filled with abundance and opportunity.
Abundance is not about accumulating more but recognizing that everything we need is already within and around us. The universe is a manifestation of abundance, with every object being a representation of infinity. To tap into this abundance, I started by acknowledging that the belief in lack is a fallacy. There are no 'non-things' in a universe filled with 'things.'
Practical Steps to Practice Abundance
Cultivate Inner Peace through Meditation: I begin my day with meditation to connect with the peace within, which is the source of all abundance.
Express Gratitude: After meditating, I express gratitude for whatever I have, be it wealth or challenges.
Pray for Awareness: I pray to my higher self or divine source to help me recognize the abundance that surrounds me.
Use Affirmations: Affirmations like "Everything that the divine has is mine" have reprogrammed my subconscious to align with abundance.
Engage in Loving Relationships: I practice giving and receiving love, kindness, and support in my interactions.
Take Care of My Physical Body: I give health to my body by eating nutritious food, exercising, and getting enough rest.
Nurture My Mind: I fill my mind with positive thoughts, read uplifting material, and meditate to maintain a healthy mental state.
Heal My Spiritual Body: I engage in activities that serve others and contribute to the greater good.
Practice Giving: In moments when I feel a sense of lack, I immediately give what I feel I'm missing.
Trust in the Abundance of the Universe: I trust that the universe is abundant and that by practicing these steps, I naturally attract abundance into my life.
By incorporating these practical steps into my daily routine, I have shifted my perspective from scarcity to abundance. Abundance is not just about material wealth; it's about experiencing the fullness of life in every moment. By practicing gratitude, nurturing my mind and body, engaging in loving relationships, and trusting in the abundance of the universe, I have opened myself to a life of spiritual wealth and fulfillment. It is strange, that I find myself with “enough” for my family.
My journey from scarcity to abundance has been a transformative one, leading to spiritual wealth and self-discovery. By following the teachings of Yogananda and practicing the steps outlined, I have unlocked the infinite potential within me and experienced the true abundance of life. Remember, abundance is not something you acquire; it's something you tune into. Open your heart to the abundance of the universe, and let it guide you to a life of fulfillment and joy.
