The power of a prosperity consciousness:
When we have a poverty consciousness, we want to hold on tight to what we have. But from a metaphysical point of view, it stops the flow. You want prosperity to flow in and in order for it to flow in, you need energy to flow out. So shift that consciousness from holding on to just letting things flow.
Reasons to give:
- When you give, it creates this positive feedback loop and makes you happier – the happier you are, the more likely you are to give, and the happier you are! And the happier you are, the easier it is to create abundance.
- Part of the reason you want to give is that it puts you into a positive mind state and when you’re in a positive mind state, it’s so much easier for those seeming miracles to flow to you because the things you desire can come in ways that you least expect when you’re open to it. So giving is one way to open your heart so you’re more open to it. There are different ways to give (not just financial).
- Giving activates the strength in you. It also releases serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin (chemicals in the brain that make you feel good). Giving also strengthens the immune system – there is a decrease both in the intensity and the awareness of physical pain. There’s a reduction in negativity, chronic hostility and even things that damage the body (eg. walking into the wall). There are all kinds of benefits to every system in the body – all the glands and organs are provided by the stress relief that giving gives.
- There is the Helper’s High – a rush of euphoria. They’ve found that not only is there an instant rush, but it lasts over time and gives you emotional and physical well-being.
What to remember when giving:
· Give in the area you want to receive – it gets the flow going, eg. if you want a home, give to the homeless. The giving doesn’t have to be financial – you can give of yourself/your time/your energy. If you want a new car, volunteer to drive for people who are not able to drive.
· DO NOT GIVE AS A SACRIFICE! If you do, it will not work to get the flow going because you feel like you’re giving up something and you may resent it. Also, don’t give what you can’t afford to give (for the same reason). Monitor your giving – give in an area that gives you joy and feed your soul. The more your soul is fed, the easier it is for the Universe to just shower you with abundance.
· If you feel that you don’t have time to give, give with the attitude of: the more I give, the more time I have. Whatever attitude you give with, it will come back to you 10-fold in that area. Do not give out of fear or out of sacrifice.
To practise unconditional giving:
· If you’re struggling with attaching conditions to your giving, do not give to someone who does not appreciate what you give – if you feel you’re better than that person, you’re diminishing them. And if you feel resentful because they don’t appreciate your gift, that diminishes you. Don’t see people as needy – see them as having all the resources they need within them.
· Give something to somebody who doesn’t know it’s from you (give anonymously) – that way you won’t be upset if they don’t thank you because they didn’t know it was from you. eg. put a note/card in a shopping cart: “Whoever gets this cart next, I’m sending you blessings for a wonderful day”. This doesn’t cost you much money. The person who gets it finds it’s usually exactly what they need.
Ways to give that aren’t financial:
· Share your expertise with the local school, eg. go in and read to the kids
· Clutter clearing – clear out your closet and bless someone with your excesses. And when you give these things, put blessings in them, eg. fold the clothes neatly, put your hand on them and say: “whoever will wear this, I gift you with my love/my blessings. May your day be brighter.” Put that energy into the clothes. It will empower the person.
· Contact your local hospice to be of support to the people somehow – be with them in their time of transition into spirit.
· If you’re creative, give your art/creative gifts to others.
· Be a volunteer at your local zoo, park, etc. Do whatever feeds your soul.
· Be part of a literacy program – help children and adults to read.
· Volunteer at an animal shelter and give energy, give love.
· Food bank – buy an extra item of food and donate it to your local food bank.
· Local children’s hospitals and community centers
· Some financial ways to give: Kiva (microloans), Heiffer International, PAWS (Performing Amimals Welfare Society)
NB: Keep the flow going – give of your time/energy/finances and do it with the intention that “I’m allowing the Universe to flow into me as the energy flows out.
The Power of Receiving:
· There’s a direct correlation between your ability to receive and your ability to give without limits.
· True giving is where you give without any conditions. If you can’t receive, chances are that you have some subconscious conditions on your giving. So if you really want that flow to go, you need to be willing to receive. So when the Universe is gifting you with something, don’t feel unworthy or that you don’t deserve it, just say: “Thank you!”
· The way to start is if someone compliments you, say: “Thank you so much”, take it in and embrace it. The gift of a compliment is no less a gift than a physical gift. If you don’t accept it, you diminish the giver’s energy.
· When you can receive as a spiritual discipline, so you can give and more will flow into your life. There is no limitation to the gifts of the Universe. There is no scarcity – there is enough abundance in the world to feed everyone.
Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:
“Abundance can come in many ways. Do not limit the way the Universe can give to you.”
“When you can give with a full heart without expecting anything back, it builds up your spiritual bank account – it actually fills you spiritually. The giving isn’t so much for the other person, it’s for you.”
“Be the kind of friend to others that you want others to be to you. You train people how to treat you by the way you treat yourself.”
Affirmations:
The more I give of my time, the more time I have. The more I give of my energy, the more energy I have. The more I give of my finances, the more finances I have.
