Note: the answers to the introspection exercises are to be written in a notebook to be used throughout the course.
We are all intrinsically abundant. Nevertheless, this
escapes our awareness most of the time, and can manifest as wellness or
distress, depending on what we are creating.
Most humans which belong to modern societies spend a
great part of their lives navigating in a general state of hypnosis which
dictates what’s right or wrong, what should be feared, loved, done, owned, etc.
It is therefore hard to realize that we create our own “reality” – in other
words, our own world (each one has their own).
In the very same way, we constantly seek abundance of
what we think we need and we flee from or fight against the abundance of what
we think is not good – both of which are processes of lack. But in practice,
what we produce is more of what we say we don’t want… and in great quantity! …And
very little of what we truly want!
In any case, we are not flowing, nor are we present in
our lives.
In order for us to feel abundant and fluid we have to
be in our bodies, in the NOW moment, not wondering around through our past
experiences or our future expectations, or even alienated in other realms and
dimensions, which are supposedly better than this one.
Keeping what we think we need out of our reach is very
entertaining. That keeps us frantically striving for a faraway dream somewhere
out there. On the other hand, the addiction to adrenaline is so seductive that
it drags us by the collar, pushing us into constant drama, towards that which
is supposedly difficult, bad, uncomfortable, etc…
We use energy in many different forms in order to
materialize our lives. We are not energy – we use it. We are Consciousness,
living in a body made up of energy matter and using energy to create our
physical experiences. Energy is infinitely abundant, for it may always be
produced at zero cost (when done efficiently), and it is completely plastic –
it assumes the form we give it. But, when it is set in motion, energy always
seeks resolution – in other words – it assumes any form whatsoever, be it
deliberate or not. It cannot be contained indefinitely (for example anger,
hurt, well kept slights, tend to explode sooner or later) and when
Consciousness beings, which is what we are, use energy without being conscious
of it, we disperse and waste huge amounts of energy – its use is inefficient.
Our beliefs about life and about what is possible or
not, also limit the way we manage the use of energy – and thus the way we use
our Time, our Space, our Money and all of our other resources. This is all
about the energy we put into it – fluid and conscious or limited and
unconscious?
So this is how we put a stopper on the abundant flow
of what we really want to experience.
The good news is that there are solutions, many of
them, but they don’t all fit here so we shall just outline the first steps.
1.
Awareness – how
am I living my life and is this what I really want?
2.
Landing in my
Body and in my Life – Am I Present in the Now or absent, thinking about what I
did (or what others did, said…) or about what I have to do, or constantly
leaving my “centre” to go outside of me to receive approval, recognition,
acceptance, trying to be what I’m not, making an effort to be what others
expect from me? What do I want for me?
3.
Re-inventing
myself – does everything I was told or heard serve me, is it my “Law”? Or does
my inner truth tell me that there is more beyond what I have come to believe to
be “normal” about the way I live my life?
4.
Choosing – Do I
clearly choose what I really want or do
I let life happen to me at random? This choice is not only something mental, it
is a choice of feeling that this is really what I want to experience - a choice
from the heart.
5.
Trusting – do I
trust myself, do I trust my capabilities, or does doubt constantly waver my
choices?
6.
Receiving – Do
I feel I deserve to receive what I really want, or do I feel that I’m not
worthy of it?
7.
Rediscovering
the Passion – Is my Life tedious, or an insane rush, which I pay little real
attention to? Do I love to live? What makes me or would make me love to live?
8.
Loving oneself
– The Flow of Abundance starts within each one of us, that is where we either
flow or are blocked. How do I treat myself? Do I give myself time, tenderness?
Do I listen to what I feel? Those who do not love themselves don’t really know
what Love is and therefore do not know how to Love. “Love each other as you
love thyself” – I think I’ve heard or read this somewhere before.
9.
Simplify – no words needed J
Simple things that change our perspective. I invite
you to try… Now. You have an entire Manual right here which is dedicated to
this theme. Make the most of it.
Ah and don’t forget Gratitude. Waking up each morning,
taking a deep breath and thanking the magic in everything that involves
existence, smiling… simple things that warm the soul and remind us of the true
Flow of Abundance.
