How to Experience Abundance
What would it feel like to have an abundance of health, wealth, friends, opportunities, peace and joy ? Can you imagine it and feel it?
I am not someone who believes in the law of attraction or other new age nonsense because I have never seen that work except for the people who make money promoting it. While I understand that the monetary system we must work with is based on usury, and is at its core evil, I chose to focus on the positive impact I can make on the lives of my clients.
I offer the following guide to help you imagine and create abundance in your life. To experience abundance in all areas of your life you must: 1) make friends with your real self; 2) set positive intentions; 3) stay focused only on the positive; 4) take right action in alignment with your goals; and 5) practice loving self-care of your body, mind and spirit.
What is Abundance Really?
Abundance means that you have more than you need and good things are flowing towards you. Notice I didn’t say that you have more than you want. You can choose to live your life as a rabid consumer. God gave you free choice. And remember, you cannot serve two masters.
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” — Matthew 6:24
The abundance that I choose revolves around good works, service to others, and the understanding that all negative thoughts are not my own. For 2024, I set the intention of making the largest possible impact I could.
I undertake my work with humility, love and the understanding that none of my clients are broken or need fixing. They need firm and gentle guidance to eliminate the negative energetic patterns they accidentally created to reveal the perfect spiritual being that they were created to be.
Understand Who You Really Are
You are a spiritual being who is in this physical realm for a short time. It helps to keep your death in mind as you decide how you want to invest your precious God-given life energy, talents, and gifts. This is only depressing if you believe that this life is all that you get. That is indeed a depressing view of things that helps companies sell you stuff to try and fill that empty hole in your soul. If you view life as a race to accumulate the most stuff, you will never feel a sense of completion or satisfaction.
I am happiest when I struggle against the sins of pride and self-love and focus on giving to others. I think that is how we are designed by our Creator to operate. Don’t take my word for it. Let me know if you are happier when you are seeking love or when you are being love. I wrote a blog post on my Valentines birthday 3 years ago about this:
If you view your life as an opportunity to draw closer to God and to do good works in His service, then your work and life take on a whole new meaning.
We live in a society that has inverted the sins of pride and self-love and trained us to believe that these are worthy endeavors. If you are pursuing self-promotion and self-gratification, it won’t take long to realize that this is an empty path.
In my life, I have been humbled and broken many times.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise. [Psalm 50/51 NKV]
I now view tough challenges as my invitation to turn towards God and seek guidance and help through continual prayer. It is a reminder that I can do nothing on my own.
Set Positive Intentions
The only two things you control are your intention and your attention. If you fail to set positive intentions for you life, chances are you will continue to drift and be distracted by negativity and the programming you are constantly bombarded with by the media, political, and entertainment industries.
To experience abundance in all areas of your life, spend some moments getting clear on what you really want for your life. What are your dreams? What is meaningful to you? Who do you want to serve?
Remember, you can do positive things with a negative intention, and this doesn’t work out so well. For example, if your only intention is to make more money or climb the corporate ladder, you might get this — and you will still not be fulfilled. I know this from coaching many successful executives who had fallen into this trap and wondered why they felt so empty inside.
“In all our deeds God looks at the intention, whether we do it for His sake, or for the sake of some other intention.” — Saint Maximos the Confessor, from The Ancient Path (p. 87) by Fr Spyridon Bailey
Some of us get tripped up in the imagination phase because we cannot imagine our life being any better or different. Many of us are so weighed down by the past and old traumas that our life vitality is continually being drained. A MEM Foundation session frees you from the past and gets back the energy and potential that was trapped in unconscious energetic patterns.
Declare your intentions for the following areas of your life: Personal Life, Family Life. Social Life, Career/Work/Business, and any other area or activity in your life that is important to you.
Stay Focused on the Positive
Once you have a written down your positive intentions, stay focused only on the positive. We are constantly being assailed with fear porn and crisis after crisis. If indeed the end of the world is at hand, you need to turn away from the world and realize that the only thing you control is your Self.
It helps to realize that we all create unique identities to do every activity in our life. For example, I created a mother role/identity to raise my two daughters and a business consultant identity to help companies grow and solve people problems.
When you can separate your true Self from the identities you created (both positive and negative), then you can flow with life and not get hooked by negativity.
Stay positive in your self-talk and emotions. Realize that any negative thoughts and emotions are all lies. They are either lies that you mistakenly believed when you were very young. Or lies being fed to you by bad actors. Orthodox Christianity teaches that thoughts come from either Heaven or Hell. None of them are yours. The moment you can separate yourself from negative thoughts, you will find more peace and joy. You control your attention.
To stay positive, create a nourishing morning routine. Mine consists of some breathing exercises, followed by a warm coffee alternative (intention for 2025 is to give up caffeine), and then a 30 minute prayer rule. I then ask guidance from our Father as I begin my work for Him. Let Thy Will be My Will is a powerful intention and prayer.
Your beliefs and words may be quite different from mine. Adapt it to what works for you and realize how uplifting it feels to do work for a higher purpose than your egoic self.
How would you like your daily rhythm to go? Do you have a morning routine that connects you with God and gets you focused on positive service to others?
Take Right Action in Alignment with Your Goals
Take one action every day that will bring you closer to your goal. Don’t get overwhelmed by the end goals. It will be daily baby steps that get you there.
Get a paper planner and write down the 3 big things you want to accomplish this month and this week. Then write down 3 mini goals for each day. Three is enough. And remember, make them manageable and doable.
If you find yourself procrastinating or stuck in analysis paralysis, know that this is just a negative energetic pattern that is blocking you. It can be dis-created and then your enthusiasm, energy and productivity will naturally flow.
Practice Loving Self-Care of Your Body and Spirit
We live in a toxic culture that sells us unhealthy “health food” and false spiritual paths. You need to be highly discerning.
Choose a spiritual path that brings you closer to Truth. It took me many decades to find Orthodox Christianity. My way was blocked by pride and mis-education. When you study the history of early Christendom (which has been actively suppressed), so much of this world and its history makes more sense. If you want some resources, reach out to me.
Avoid processed foods. Grow as much of your own food as you can. Grow micro greens inside. Get a good water filter — I use an Alexapure water filter. Be careful with supplements, many are toxic.
Get 30 minutes of sunshine a day — we photosynthesize too! Exercise and move your body. By strengthening and moving your arms and legs, you recharge the voltage of every cell in your body.
If you feel stress, anxiety, depression or are struggling with past trauma or PTSD, consider an Emotional Clarity session with me. Unlike talk therapy, it requires no narrative self-disclosure, results are felt immediately, and many clients are complete with just one Foundation session. Remember, stress (after poisoning and medical mistakes) is the #1 cause of dis-ease.
The Prosperity Procedure handles obstacles to wanting, having and receiving in all areas of life. This goes way beyond having an abundance of money because most of us want money so that we have the opportunity to enjoy life more fully.
