Helpful Suggestions to Feel Wealthy in Times that Appear Bereft
|
|
Abundance means living in plenty,
regardless of what your checkbook tells you, because money is not your
Source. When we honor our Source, we find channels in unexpected places.
Discover prosperity through giving. Your head may tell you not to share because there's only so much to go around, or to guard ideas lest someone else steal them. The journey from head to heart, however, fills you with an overwhelming sense of appreciation and love and the understanding that abundance is available for everyone. Some of the ways you can create abundance is by consciously keeping your thoughts high-minded and embracing all whom you love. Repeat the following words in that semi-conscious dream state just before falling asleep: |
(1) I close my eyes and let my belief in miracles emerge and fill me with a beautiful light. In my mind's eye I hold an image of the people for whom I desire to pray. I send out the beautiful light of the miraculous to these people and imagine it completely surrounding them. I affirm that this light is healing, repairing, and bringing wholeness to all of these people. As I see and feel the power of the miraculous touch my friends and loved ones, my faith in miracles grows. I give thanks for all the miracles that happen everyday all over the world. I affirm these thoughts and images with a feeling of great joy and let them go.
(2) I close my eyes and imagine myself filled with limitless good. I affirm that my beliefs are creating a wonderful life for me now. With each new breath my thoughts become more and more positive. I imagine my thoughts filling my words with the power of transformation. I know that my beliefs, thoughts, and words are the source of my deeds. In my mind's eye I see and hear myself thinking and using positive words as I communicate with others today. I imagine that I easily match my positive words with positive deeds. At the end of my day I give thanks for the knowledge and opportunity to create the reality of my choice. I combine these thoughts and images with a feeling of joy and let them go.
Create your own verbal mantra by putting positive thoughts that create an atmosphere of “plenty” for yourself and everyone around you.

Life seems to be filling up with more to do and cope with each passing day. In our modern life, leisure time now seems but a distant dream; something unattainable. The Ancients called this “Kali-Yuga”, which loosely translates into “Too many things for the time allowed.” We simply load ourselves up with more than we can handle. The brain produces stress hormones in response to a steady dose of anxiety, which added to the accumulation of physical and emotional toxins , impacts not only our enjoyment of life, but also the proper functioning of all body systems. We get sick in our souls, minds and hearts, as well as depleting our immune system, which reflects in stress overload in the entire organism and leads to disease. Essential oils can be invaluable before physical illness manifests itself. Some simple ideas for rejuvenation, protection and prevention are: Relaxing florals: These sweet aromas act directly on the central nervous system as we inhale them and they are a quick remedy to take the edge off the day. Clinical tests have shown that inhalation of genuine lavender oil triggers the brain to release serotonin, which promotes relaxation during the day and restful sleep at night. Ylang Ylang has been used clinically to lower high blood pressure, and Neroli is an excellent calming oil. Rose is superb for difficult emotions such as anger, resentment and jealousy, and combined with Jasmine can produce a gentle tonic effect for both sexes. Also included in the relaxing oils are: Chamomile (both German and Roman), Clary Sage, Rosalina and Geranium. Oils that have a direct beneficial effect on immunity and support adrenal function are the leaf and needle oils. These oils also help circulation and digestion, and the movement of ‘Chi’. Morphologically, the tree oils represent strength and are figuratively used in mythology depicting inner strength and resolve. The Tree Oils are: Pine, Spruce, Cypress, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Peppermint, Bay Laurel and Eucalyptus. The root, heartwood and resin oils can revive you; choose them when you are really feeling tapped. The restorative oils are: Angelica, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Patchouli, Vetiver, Lovage, Cedarwood, and Spikenard. |
Bright Citrus
oils: they bring sunshine and light! Stress can be more debilitating in the
Winter, especially here in the Pacific Northwest where gloomy days can go on
forever. Dr. Berkowsky includes some of the Citrus oils in the “gold”
remedies and they are impeccable for elevating mood and outlook. They
literally bring light to the darkness. Especially good for those suffering
from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
The Bright Citrus Oils are: Grapefruit, Orange (both Sweet and Bitter), Lemon, Lime, Tangerine, Mandarin, Clementine, and Bergamot. Barbara Lucks calls the Spice Oils the Warrior Oils, and this is so true. If your immune system is depleted to the point of frequent colds, flu and infection, then this heavy artillery is exactly what you need. Hot spice oils are ready to take on germs at the same time they boost your immune system. The warrior oils: Oregano, Thyme, Cinnamon, Clove Remember that a drop or two is all you need. Resist the urge to use too much. More is NOT better and may cause skin irritation, headache, nausea and dizziness. Never take essential oils internally unless prescribed by a medical professional proficient in the use of essential oils. For inhalation, you can sniff from the bottle, drop a few drops on the shower floor, or in the bath with a dispersant (milk works very nicely and adding bath salts will put you in heaven). Add a few drops to massage oil or lotion. Tuck a tissue with a drop in your shirt pocket. There are good books to consult to learn more about essential oils. One of our favorites for beginners at Samara Botane is Valerie Cooksley’s, “Aromatherapy: A Lifetime Guide to Healing with Essential Oils”. When you realize that holism is paramount for any improved functioning, mental or physical, you will concentrate on improving diet, relaxation, getting complete rest and having productive relationships, personal and professional. The investment you make can improve the quality of your life for the rest of your life. |
