Breathe Appreciation

Breathe Appreciation - Abundantly!
Abundance- it is everywhere-notice what happens when you read these words- do they pass you by? What do you think? What does your body feel? Do you resist the idea, embrace it or simply deeply agree? Whatever your reaction is don't judge it simply see it.
It is easier today to think thoughts about the lack of abundance- Every time I switch on the news there it is-the stark reality- GM going bankrupt- British Airways to lay off 1500, on and on...
When we are being saturated with all this so called reality how can we think any different....isn't it madness to suggest that there is abundance in this world at this point? I like so many others am being called into a new and more truthful relationship with understanding the enrgy of money.
How we think about money affects everything. How we think about what we have or dont have affects how we see our world. - Remember here- our beliefs are simply thoughts that we keep thinking over and over again until they become reality for us. They are like a recording- we are recording all day long every since we have been born here. Do you realize though that you are the master recorder and that you can choose what to record, edit, delete, or even re-record. This a simple outline for changing how you think and when you change this you can see the results in how your life changes.
You are what you think you are....
So if we continue to think and record thoughts like: i dont have enough, there is not enough, i am not going to make it, where will the money come from, i have not money i dont have enough--
these thoughts enjoy company and so other thoughts that match these come up and pretty soon we are in a downward spiral all the way to a place where we feel like there is no hope...This place simply attracts more of the same- misery loves the company. Then we see the world as a bleak place full of lack, empty of prosperity. Its compelling- Especially when every one else is doing it- How can we refute the figures?
Good so we can agree-
that thinking and recording these thoughts leads us to feel bad- lacking in energy and hope- so at some point we have to arrive at a place where we can see that there is a turn around- Follow the downward spiral of despration and at some point you will run into a thought that feels slightly better, that can bring a smile to our lips:
"I dont have enough, i never have enough, especially now how can i, its not going to work, i am scared , this is making me anxious, i dont knwo what to do, i fell afraid, and stuck, everyone is stuck what can i do....all i can do is laugh.....ok good....now feel the laugh that comes.....its absurd, this is not the way i want to be, laughing feels better, i cant control or change anyone else, i can only do something about the way i think, i feel a bit better,, there is some hope, i can do something, ok now this is better, lets see what do i have...ok yes thats it.....now lets see what can i appreciate in this moment...what can i find that makes me feel even better what ever it is...."
Ok so we see that we can follow the feelings and thoughts until we hit on one that can make us feel slightly better and then we build on this- we nurture that genuine feeling of being slightly better. Finding ways to deepen it increase it....feel it...thats the commitment - the willingness to stay with what feels better.
We have to be willing to move towards that which feels better...
Breathing Appreciation: Yesterday I wrote about a gratitude practice- this next practice builds upon the feeling good factor. Appreciation is the deep alignment of you with you- When you are in appreciation there is an absence of struggle, resistance, fear, doubt, hatred, self denial- all those things that make you feel bad. There is the presence of all the things that make you feel good. We become what we practice- lets go back to the idea that we are constantly recording...so how does it feel to record appreciation:
Breathe.......
think about someone who you love- deeply- a child is helpful here or even an animal. Allow yourself to see them in your minds eye. Imagine them here with you. Start to notice what happens inside when you do this. When you call them into your vision. Notice your breathing (i just took a deep breath) notice how you feel, what comes to you- are you feeling more relaxed, more warmth- do you feel a certain softening- ok
good
you are moving into the state of love and appreciation- this state is magnetic, and infectious....living within this state is simply going to create more of it- this is the most basic law of our universe - the law of attraction.
Now
back to Abundance-
this starts with deeply appreciating what we already are- and by virtue of that what we have....
intention of the day- to Breathe Appreciation .....
I am deeply appreciating the opportunity to write this and be another resonant voice of prosperity and healing on the planet...Planet Breathe here at your service....
