What do spiritual practices have to do with being wealthy?

The Truth is that if we are filling our days with the effort it takes to "make a living," "bring home the bacon," or "protect the nest egg," we have put more trust in the external world than in the rich realm of all possibilities that is always available to us. What if it were really true that ALL THAT WE NEED IS WITHIN US? What if our job is not to "get" but to reveal?

Spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, expressing gratitude, forgiving, listening for the desires of our heart, sharing and trust are vehicles that allow us to release the Abundant Splendor of God that is awaiting expression through us. When developed, these instruments empower us to know that the world of effects is powered by our internal work. Our spiritual practices open the way for all of the riches of Spirit to come into manifestation.

Blessings abundantly,

It is wonderful to witness the interest in the metaphysical teachings of the Law of Attraction that is sweeping the country. It is a joy to witness people realizing that they have a way to move out of victim hood and into directing their life experiences.

What inspires me to write here is that the emphasis in "The Secret" message is on a mental Law that can bring one material demonstrations. "The Secret" focuses on technique and results. It fails to address the spiritual aspect of the way the Universe works, for the most part. What is omitted is that we all have a Power that is within us, that when we align with It will bring into our experience all that we could possibly imagine, without us using any effort at all. Our only job is to prepare our consciousness to receive that which is already ours because we are the "inheritors of the Kingdom" and it is the Father/Mother God's good pleasure to give it to us.

The spiritual work to prepare our consciousness to experience the abundance of God is touched on and focus on in the 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life work. That is, rather than working on defining our desires, we want to work on being Grateful for what we already have; set Intentions that arise from the desire of our Hearts; practice Forgiveness to clear ourselves of any attachment to the past; Trust that what we desire is already ours and Share from the bounty of supply that pours forth from us.

I'd love to hear from you.

Have a blessed and abundant week.
