Featured Article Creating and Living Abundance around us

 Are you living the headlines of the past few months?
There are many pessimistic attitudes surrounding the economic crises that are spread throughout the newspapers and media in general. The predictions and the frequent discussions regarding our difficult times may leave us in fear and in a scarcity consciousness. While the issues may be real, focusing on problems usually creates more problems. How does our worrying, complaining and pessimistic outlook impact the situation? Some would say that there is no impact. However there are a growing number of experts in the fields of science, philosophy and economics that would agree that our thoughts and feelings are an important part of the process. As observers, in a universal Field of Intelligence, we have the power through the thoughts and beliefs of mass consciousness to change the outcome of events. When many 'institutions' of industry are on the verge of chaos or dissolving around us, and our Earth is in an ecological downward spiral, what can we think, feel or say to hold on to a higher energy, to our optimism? Ways to be part of the solution or what You can do in difficult times:
-
Each morning and evening before bed, focus from your heart on gratitude
-
Make intentions to increase experiences that create laughter and joy.
-
Meditate and calm yourself through deep abdominal breathing.
-
Ask for the Highest Good of All in your prayers.
-
Do not take part in conversations that pull down your positive energy.
-
When people are involved in fear-based discussion, walk away.
-
Wake up and realize that we are all living in denial about the planet's ecology.
-
Accept that change is essential if our species is to survive and that the current chaos may be an attempt for rebalance. This may mean giving up some of our 'comfort' choices and take us back to more 'green', more human connection and a more natural existence.
-
Create more vitality in your life through diet, exercise and honest, authentic social connection.
-
Focus on intensifying your faith that we are members of an abundant universe and that we are being helped all along the way. We may be involved in a lesson that as a world we have gone astray and need to realign with the natural universal laws.
So instead of "living the headlines", live from a deeper, empowering place. Be part of the solution, not the complaint! Know that whatever you can do to keep your self-esteem and your sense of empowerment high, and make the choices that create positive and loving energy, that's enough. You are living your part of the solution.
