About Receiving/Accepting Affirmations and Abundance
To be able to receive abundance is perhaps the most important concept related to our theme of abundance. While I generally prefer to state what is and often hesitate to give too much attention to what is not, this seems to be a time to explain the not-it. Receiving abundance is not grabbing something, not deflecting compliments, not feeling guilty about having something that someone else does not have, not saying "oh, you shouldn’t have," not a lucky guess / opportunity / break, not available only to those who are smart / rich / of a particular race or color / lucky / hard working, not having lots of money, not manipulating to get something. Phew! Lots of nots; lots of knots.
Receiving abundance runs parallel to the ability to trust unconditionally that the Universe responds to all your needs and wants. You must receive the response. In other words, the sentiment "I’ll trust the Universe as long as that check shows up by September 15, otherwise, forget it!" does not qualify as unconditional trust. You must accept that you are in a process of receiving abundance and that it comes in many ways: through your own ingenuity, opening your eyes to the majesty of the earth, appreciation from friends and families, gifts, food that grows from the soil, creativity, synergy of ideas.
About your Process in the Second Week
If you feel "hooked" on the belief that money and abundance are synonymous, I suggest that you work with a process of uplifting your gratitude to the true Source. Whenever something you desire comes into your life, thank both the physical source and the Divine Source. One example: you receive your paycheck on Friday afternoon: Thank your job (or your boss or your skills) and then thank the Divine (or God or The One or the angels or Spirit). Another example: you see (your eyes receive) a beautiful oil painting: thank the artist (or the art gallery or the artist’s inspiration) and then thank the Divine. Even though the Divine is First Cause (and is truly the One to be thanked first), this process trains you to shift from the physical form or appearance to the true Source. Also, the Divine does not need your appreciation: you are the one most fed when you feel or express appreciation.
And if you do not feel hooked on the belief that money and abundance are synonymous, bravo. You still have an assignment (if you choose to accept it): Be a witness of any example that indicates a call for abundance. Notice I say "witness," not "judge" and not "reporter" and not "teacher." When you witness the call for abundance, send your thanks to the Source. Your gratitude need not have any content, just loving energy. Sprinkle thanksgiving and love wherever you place your attention, then see miracles manifest.
About the Affirmations in the Second Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent receiving and accepting for Abundance, I would combine two affirmations: the one for September 13, "I accept abundance in all aspects of my life. I shift my attention from visible means of support to invisible means of support" and for September 10, "I allow the energy of abundance to flow through me. I recognize that giving and receiving are the same." The merged affirmation would be: "I recognize that giving and receiving are the same, as I shift my attention from visible means of support to invisible means of support." These concepts are very important as you continue to lift your consciousness about abundance.
Make this a positive week!
