Most people feel in their personal, familial, social, professional and love lives, a sense of lack, deprivation, duty, fear, sacrifice, suffocation and even imprisonment. We often hear phrases like “this is life, I have to, life is hard, I don’t have a choice, it won’t work out, life is serious, why would it happen to me, stop dreaming, what if I can’t do it”? So, how can we attract abundance? Firstly, it is important to understand that abundance is not only financial as some may think. It can take the shape of any profitable event, favourable situation, the right person, but also the perfect health and of course, the flow of money. Living a life of abundance means that the tap is open in all areas of our lives and that the financial aspect is only one of them.

Why abundance doesn't flow and how to attract it.

Most human beings can feel in their personal,

Familial,

Social,

Professional and love lives a sense of lack,

Deprivation,

Duty,

Fear,

Sacrifice,

Suffocation and even imprisonment.

We often hear phrases like,

This is life,

I have to,

Life is hard,

I don't have a choice,

It won't work out,

Life is serious,

Why would it happen to me,

Stop dreaming,

What if I can't do it?

It is no surprise,

Fear and fear of the unknown,

Pessimism,

Mistrust,

Lack of self-confidence and in others,

Is inherent to humanity,

Especially fear.

Fear is the greatest program that is running and extends to all alive beings to help preserve the species.

When there is a danger,

Our brain is triggered by a series of stimuli and because of the uncomfortable feeling of stress,

It releases chemistry whose aim is to feed some parts of our body with what they need in order to facilitate a flight or fight response.

But this archaic program is supposed to occur in case of an actual threat or physical danger like an accident or death.

Unfortunately,

In our modern times,

This is our emotional and psychological baggage that prevails as a danger.

What triggers our stress is now mainly linked to our insecurities,

Lack of confidence,

Uncertainty and all kinds of fears,

But not our survival anymore.

It became our new threats and it increases as our societies develop to become more and more modern.

This feels cripple us and push us to procrastinate.

We can't seem to be able to move on very effectively and we fail to create the life that we would like.

Instead,

We create a by-default life.

Moreover,

Stress also decreases our lifespan because the stress hormones are released in much higher quantities than normal,

So it becomes dangerous for our well-being and our health.

These stress hormones are meant to stimulate our body for a short amount of time,

But very intensely.

In the long term,

It can generate fatigue and immune system deficiency,

But also conditions and diseases,

And it can push us to take desperate actions or wrong decisions.

So in one hand,

We have our limiting beliefs that decrease the confidence we have in ourselves and in life,

And on the other hand we have the conditioning we are born in and that formatted and conceptualized our minds.

We are taught concepts such as what should be love relationships,

Personal and family life,

Education,

Religion,

Work,

Money,

Our nation,

But also labels like our gender,

Skin color,

Our looks,

Age and so on.

We also have our traumas,

Especially childhood traumas,

And even beyond,

Like I don't deserve happiness,

I am unlovable.

Our lives are a big messy conflict and even if we would like to attract abundance,

We must first allow for it to come.

We are not necessarily aware we don't allow it.

However,

Our limiting beliefs are doing just that for us.

Our lives are run by the actions we take in response or reaction to our circumstances.

The more we act from our traumas and fears,

The more we contract and the less we control the direction that our lives take.

In other words,

Our emotional and psychological fears as well as our conditioning,

So the contractions,

Shut down our right to abundance in all the areas of our lives.

How can we attract abundance?

First of all,

It is important to understand that abundance is not only financial as some may think.

It can take the shape of any profitable event,

Favorable situation,

The right person,

But also the perfect health and of course the flow of money.

Living a life of abundance means that the tap is open in all areas of our lives and that the financial aspect is only one of them and is often linked to our job or activities.

Abundance should flow in the five pillars of life,

Personal,

Social,

Family life,

Relationships,

Work and finances.

What is abundance in our personal lives and how to attract it?

To receive abundance in our personal lives,

We must allow ourselves to be who we truly are and to do what we truly want without any judgment,

Without caring about what others say and without letting our limiting beliefs such as,

It is not good for me,

You don't do that,

You are going to get fat,

I am not good enough.

Decide for us.

It means to live without internal conflict between who we think we are and who we actually are by cultivating equanimity.

It means to be authentic and to do that you must leave the group to become your own self without comparing with others and even with your own family or seeking validation anywhere.

You are going to have to learn about yourself to recognize your true desires and not the ones imposed by your formatted society.

You will have to learn the difference between the actions you took because of your conditioning through education or because of the way you think about yourself due to your traumas and let life flow the way it was intended by following your bliss without the need for validation,

Result or even success.

In other words you can attract abundance by living a fulfilled life and for that you will need to work on yourself.

It is also called introspection.

What is abundance in our social lives and how to attract it?

Social life is our relation to others except family.

If we are not socially happy there must be a blockade here too.

We have never been more connected to people than in these last decades with online media.

We gather so many friends and followers.

We are part of tribes and communities all over the internet.

Nevertheless we don't feel abundant or fulfilled.

Studies showed a rise in loneliness and even suicide among youth and it had been linked to the rise of online media.

So what does it mean?

It means that what we lack is the quality and authenticity of our relationships,

Not the number of people we know.

These online communities push us to choose numbers to quality because our social validation depends on it.

The number of followers,

Listeners,

Friends but also likes and shares.

So much that when the numbers are low people don't even want to pay attention to somebody who could really need it.

When did we start to think that if we virtually know more people we are better human beings?

Sometimes the fear of rejection pushes us to even buy fake friends or followers or likes.

There are many offers in this area.

So what we are seeing here is another case of authenticity but also self-respect by sticking to our values in life.

And only then we will attract the same authentic people with the same values and that's what true abundance is.

Attracting the right people with the right qualities is what will make us feel abundant in a social environment.

Only two or three people can make this difference.

What is abundance in our family lives and how to attract it?

Abundance in our family lives can be achieved by recognizing our singularity and respecting the singularity of the other members.

Often because we are a family we think we all should act and think the same way.

For example to feel forced to continue the family business is a big issue when it comes to feeling abundant.

Each time there is a sense of duty or destiny abundance cannot flow because there is a resistance.

To open the gate of abundance once again you must be authentic and true to yourself and your family by initiating a dialogue on the importance of keeping your own individuality while respecting everyone else's individuality as well.

It does not mean you cannot love each other on the contrary.

It will bring flow,

Ease and remove any pressure and will facilitate abundance.

We must be able to love each other and yet be ourselves.

Here too the work of introspection is important because it will help to dissociate your I AM consciousness from the family consciousness,

Removing the pressure to all the members.

If it is not something that's possible now it will be when and if you choose to start your own family.

In the meantime resistance and conflict won't bring abundance on the contrary so it could be the right moment to cultivate compassion and understanding toward maybe a family that is less conscious than you are.

So cultivating compassion will be very useful as it will teach you about unconditional love which opens all the gates of abundance.

What is abundance in our love lives and how to attract it?

Attracting abundance in our love lives is similar than for the family.

Indeed when we are a couple we tend to want to become one.

This is a mistake.

Authenticity and singularity are the keys to attract abundance because the opposite of resistance is flow and flowing is being capable of loving someone without asking anything in return,

Without trying to change them because this is not love rather selfishness.

When someone wants to be in a relationship for selfish reasons for example because he or she feels lonely or because she or he doesn't want to go through the uncertainty of life alone or because of social conventions it is a resistance and resistance closes the gates of abundance.

Wanting to change people or not accepting them for who they are is not an act of love.

Of course I'm not talking about abuse or violence that anybody should run away from.

Safety is the most important.

What opens the gates is unconditional love,

Self-respect,

Recognizing others individuality,

Compassion and understanding because we all are at different levels of consciousness.

But most of all we must live a fulfilled life where the partner is not the object of our attention and certainly not the one with the hard task to make us feel happy.

Only us can.

Resisting life brings suffering and unhappiness.

Flowing with life brings optimum joy and abundance.

What is abundance in our career or finances and how to attract it?

The lack of money is the most difficult like to overcome for most people because it has to do with how we have been raised about money and all the limiting beliefs we have been accumulating since we are born.

Less than 5% of the population is what we can call quote-unquote rich.

If so few people reach this goal it means that there's a lot of emotional and psychological blockages around money.

Everyone dreams to be rich but barely anybody believes it's possible.

It is because of our education.

If you can close your eyes and remember the relationship between your parents and money.

Was it restricted?

Was it enough?

Did you have to save it because life is unpredictable?

What do you think about rich people?

What do you think about money now?

Do you think it is easy to get?

What is your relationship to money now?

People rarely grow up with unhealthy relationship with money.

Few think they deserve money and yet money is just a piece of paper.

This unhealthy situation comes from our parents,

Their parents and many more generations down the line as well as the society that created the hierarchy system based on money.

If you have money your life worth more than if you are poor.

A successful life is defined by the amount of money in your bank account.

However money has such high value only because human beings gave this value to a piece of paper and this story everyone believes.

It is now so powerful that a human life is less important than a note.

Some kills for 10 dollars.

Does a life worth less than 10 dollars?

No wonder we have negative beliefs about it.

Nevertheless what we want is not money but the happiness that go with and that we think we will get if we buy the things we think we want.

It is not about money but about feeling happy.

To live in abundance means enjoying all the little things that we receive in our lives and if we open our eyes and ears and other senses we will recognize them.

We don't need to possess things like fast cars and big houses,

Designer clothes to know we are worthy because we all are.

We are all equally worthy and even though we are all different.

Worthiness is not based on physical qualities but moral qualities and showing and proving to the world we are worthy is not necessary.

Only if we are not confident and we look for validation.

To be financially bound is possible by instilling an healthy relationship with money,

Removing limiting beliefs and most of all recognizing that money is not the bringer of happiness.

If you learn about beliefs during introspection you will be able to decrease the resistance to money and will restore the flow of abundance in your life.

After all that which you want is to be able to get what you need when you need it and it does not involve being rich.

We have learned that abundance is in our minds,

Emotional and psychological and that it is a shift in consciousness that will allow it to flow in our lives.

Negativity,

Fear,

Resistance close the gates of abundance while compassion for ourselves and others,

Authenticity and equanimity open the gates.

You probably think it is easier said than done and it is the case.

That is why I encourage you to start your self-inquiry or introspection work today.

To learn,

To know yourselves will help you to overcome the blockages that prevent abundance to flow in your life.

Spend time in nature will also help you to feel abundant.

Nature is everywhere and nurturing,

A good way to feel abundant and grateful.

An interesting and very well structured talk, which I'll be listening to again, partly because there's so much wisdom and encouragement and partly because I missed sections, when the concentration I needed in understanding that lovely French accent wavered! Personally I would have found a slower delivery helpful, especially as it is so insightful. Merci mille fois.
