To create abundance you need to develop\u00a0abundance consciousness<\/em>. Quantum physics has proved that consciousness affects matter, in other words it is your thoughts (energy)and feelings (energy) that determine what you create in the physical world.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it is your beliefs on which your thoughts are based that create the circumstances in your life.\u00a0Change your beliefs and you change your life from scarcity to abundance.<\/p>\n

From a spiritual perspective\u2026<\/p>\n

Jesus said \u201d\u00a0Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.\u201d Mark 11:24<\/p>\n

Eckhart Tolle in \u2018A New Earth\u2019 (p305) states \u201cYou cannot manifest what you want; you can only manifest what you already have\u201d.<\/p>\n

So if I want to create abundance in my life I have to have abundance already?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This creates a seemingly insoluble paradox. How can I create something if I have to have it in order to create it, and if I had it already I wouldn\u2019t need to create it, would I???? Aaargh!<\/p>\n

So what does this mean in practice?<\/p>\n

It means that you can only create what is already\u00a0in your consciousness<\/em>, so to create abundance you need to develop\u00a0abundance consciousness<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The problem is, how do you develop abundance consciousness when your bank account is empty or you feel like there just isn\u2019t enough money to pay your bills?<\/p>\n

The Catch-22 of Abundance Consciousness<\/h2>\n

Needing abundance doesn\u2019t just apply to money, it tends to affect other aspects of your life \u2013 time, energy, food, in fact all kinds of resources\u2026 everything!<\/p>\n

Feeling stressed and worried about whether you can pay your bills and keep food on the table drains you of energy and you feel like there are just not enough hours in the day to create what you need.<\/p>\n

You work harder and harder but feel like you\u2019re getting nowhere, or you live on the roller coaster of feast and famine. All the time you are feeling that there\u2019s just \u2018not enough\u2019 \u2013 you\u2019re suffering from scarcity consciousness.<\/p>\n

(Having suffered years of scarcity consciousness, hitting rock bottom in 2012 with no money, no food, no car, and on the verge of eviction from the motel we were living in, believe me, I understand your frustration!)<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re aware of the law of \u2018conscious creation\u2019 (often referred to as the Law of Attraction) and you tell yourself to focus on abundance, deep down you still don\u2019t believe you have abundance and you think creating abundance is hard.<\/p>\n

7 Steps to Abundance Consciousness<\/h2>\n

To move from scarcity (or lack) into abundance you have to start\u00a0feeling\u00a0<\/em>abundant in order to create abundance in your life.<\/p>\n

That might seem impossible to you right now when your consciousness is filled with the belief that you are lacking, but it\u2019s not. It just requires a changing your thoughts about your present circumstances.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to focus on financial abundance here, because lack of money is usually the prime cause of scarcity consciousness.<\/p>\n

Practice these 7 steps and you will change your consciousness from scarcity to abundance.<\/p>\n

You need to do this repeatedly to make a permanent change (so that this way of thinking becomes second nature to you), but you will start to see results almost immediately. You will be aligning with the Laws of the Universe, and specifically with the Law of Creation.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Be grateful for everything you have now<\/h3>\n

Make a list of everything you have to be grateful for; tangible and intangible, material and spiritual.<\/p>\n

Be grateful for the money you have, no matter how small the amount. Even finding 1 cent\/1 penny is adding to your abundance and you should receive it with gratitude.<\/p>\n

Express love to God\/Source\/The Universe for providing this resource to you. Bless the money that you have. Open your arms to receive more. This brings an energy of expansion to your money.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Feel grateful when you pay your bills<\/h3>\n

Paying bills is often done grudgingly and all you see is your bank account shrinking. Instead, when you pay your bills, focus with gratitude on what you are exchanging the money for; electricity to enable you to have light, power etc, water which is vital for life, groceries to provide an abundance of food to nourish you and your family.<\/p>\n

So often we grumble about \u2018bills\u2019 and take for granted the fact that we have running water when we turn on the tap\/faucet. We would soon complain if we flicked the light switch and remained in the dark.<\/p>\n

Utility bills, especially electricity bills, are a perfect representation of the function of money. It is an energy exchange, so when we pay our utility bills we are exchanging one form of energy for another, one form of \u2018currency\u2019 for another.<\/p>\n

Be grateful for the ability to pay and go through the process of paying your bills with the attitude of empowered choice. Even if you aren\u2019t able to pay all your bills at once, pay the most important one(s) and remember that you are paying them by choice; when you choose and in the order you choose.<\/p>\n

Feel the power of managing your money to extract the maximum benefit from your resources.<\/p>\n

Step 3. Stop seeing money as the only means of acquiring things<\/h3>\n

When you want to manifest something material in your life, focus on the outcome and don\u2019t assume that money is an inevitable part of the process.<\/p>\n

As soon as you focus on the cost of something you risk moving into scarcity consciousness and your logical mind will start to think of objections and obstacles to achieving that outcome.<\/p>\n

So, for example, if you have a bill to pay, focus on paying the bill (the outcome), not on the amount of money you need (the means)\u00a0to pay the bill.<\/p>\n

By focusing on the money, you also limit the infinite ways this desire of yours could be delivered. Keep the outcome uppermost in your mind and be open to any means of achieving it.<\/p>\n

When you focus on outcome, you allow the Universe to work out the means of delivering it. If money is required, then the money will manifest, but it\u2019s not up to you to decide.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Remove the terms \u201cdebt\u201d and \u201cI can\u2019t afford\u201d from your vocabulary<\/h3>\n

Words are the physical manifestation of thoughts, thoughts are energy, and energy creates, which means it is very important to choose the words you use very carefully to ensure that they represent the outcome you want.<\/p>\n

The word \u2018debt\u2019 is associated with lack of abundance and is a very heavy, low frequency word which drags down your energy to a low vibrational frequency.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing on debt, think of the amount you owe as an account you are in the process of settling. This introduces flow back into the process, rather than the \u2018stuck\u2019 feeling associated with the word debt, and imbues the situation with positive energy.<\/p>\n

Similarly, \u201cI can\u2019t afford\u201d is another way of saying \u201cnot enough\u201d i.e. lack.<\/p>\n

Replace this phrase by saying to yourself \u201cI choose not to have (fill in the blanks) at this time because I have more important uses for my resources\u201d.<\/p>\n

This changes your energy from lack to empowered choice, and it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have the thing you desire, you\u2019re just waiting for the appropriate time to acquire it.<\/p>\n

This allows space for the universe to deliver it in the appropriate way, at the appropriate time, with or without money being involved.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Accept that money is a currency and is meant to flow<\/h3>\n

Money comes in, money goes out. Money comes in, money goes out.<\/p>\n

This is how currency is meant to work. Money has no inherent value. It is only when it is exchanged that it turns into something usable and practical.<\/p>\n

When you resist the idea of money going out and see your resources (bank account) shrinking, you\u2019re denying its true purpose.<\/p>\n

Money is a means, not an end. Currency implies movement rather than something that is static.<\/p>\n

When you turn on the tap\/faucet and allow the water to flow you\u2019re not afraid because you know\/trust\/believe that more water will be there when you need to turn on the tap again. Approach money in the same way. Believe that more money will be available when you need it.<\/p>\n

Step 6: Shift thoughts of fear and scarcity about money<\/h3>\n

This process replaces your negative (scarcity) thoughts and beliefs about money with a positive belief in abundance. You are retraining your brain to eradicate negative and fearful thoughts and replace them with\u00a0empowering thoughts that create the outcome you want.<\/p>\n

When negative thoughts arise they are always accompanied by negative feelings and when you tune in to your feelings you can detect a negative thought is on its way just by the way you feel even before the thought fully materializes.<\/p>\n

When you feel a negative thought is on its way, bringing with it a fear, scarcity or \u201cnot enough\u201d mentality, shift the thoughts with a mantra of your choice. I use LJPA (Love, Joy, Peace, Abundance) because I\u2019m then focused on what I intend to experience instead of fear, pain, conflict and scarcity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although the speed of thought creation makes it seem like we have lots of thoughts at once, the brain can only create one thought at a time so by repeating the mantra over and over to yourself you\u2019re stopping other thoughts from being created. Continue until the negative\u00a0feeling<\/em>\u00a0has subsided.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Step 7: Stay in the present moment<\/h3>\n

This is a universal principle that you should apply at all times.<\/p>\n

When you are in the present moment you are dealing with what is, not what was or what is yet to be. Regret is living in past negativity and fear is living in future negativity.<\/p>\n

Regretting the actions and decisions that have led you to this point is only a benefit if you learn the lessons from them. You can\u2019t change the past but you can change how you think and feel about it.<\/p>\n

Fearing what might happen in the future is a \u2018false expectation appearing real\u2019 and, as I explained at the start, the laws of quantum physics will cause you to create the thing you\u2019re afraid of because that\u2019s where you\u2019re focusing your attention and energy.<\/p>\n

When you are fully present in the NOW, you\u2019re alive and conscious! Say to yourself, \u201cIn this present moment I\u2019m perfectly OK\u201d and then \u201cWhat is the smallest step I can take to improve my situation?\u201d. By focusing on the solution not the problem, you\u2019ll have inspired ideas and the right opportunities and people will present themselves.<\/p>\n

Remember the story of the drowning man\u2026<\/p>\n

A man\u2019s boat had capsized in the ocean and he was in the water praying for help. \u201cDear God, please don\u2019t let me drown.\u201d
\nAnother boat pulled up and offered to pick him up but he declined saying, \u201cThat\u2019s okay, I know that God will save me.\u201d
\nA second boat came by and again offered to pick him but once again he declined saying, \u201cThanks, but I prayed to God and I know that he won\u2019t let me drown.\u201d
\nLeft alone in the ocean, the man finally succumbed and drowned. He died and went to Heaven. Upon his arrival, he asked God, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you answer my prayer to help me from drowning?\u201d
\nGod replied, \u201cI sent two boats to save you. What more do you want?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Be on the alert at all times for help from the universe \u2013 it is always there but you have to believe it to see it!<\/p>\n

Expansion is the Natural Law of the Universe<\/h2>\n

If you are \u2018flat broke\u2019 now it is because you have focused on scarcity and lack of resources and when you believe you have nothing, that\u2019s the condition that will persist.<\/p>\n

When you focus on gratitude and appreciation for the abundance you have now, no matter how small it seems, you generate an energy of expansion.<\/p>\n

This energy of expansion opens you up to receiving and keeps you in alignment with our ever-expanding universe.<\/p>\n

These 7 steps outlined above are proven practical ways of changing lack into abundance and you\u2019ll be amazed at how quickly the universe will respond to your change in consciousness.<\/p>\n

The more you feel genuine loving gratitude for everything in your life, the more the Divine Universe showers you with blessings and abundance.<\/p>\n
