September 9, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:00:39 +0000

“I receive goodness from the Universe.
Abundance is everywhere.“

Greetings! Our theme is Abundance at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This second week of the month we work with receiving and accepting abundance. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information.

DailyAffirm is celebrating its fifteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
It is interesting to me how often people forget how good the goodness is, whether the goodness is visible or invisible. Goodness is everywhere; abundance is everywhere. Sometimes you have to lift up the dark stuff to notice the goodness and abundance. You might think of the dark stuff as a tarp (tarpaulin) or a blanket. With your mind’s eye, lift up the tarp or blanket to reveal the wonder and beauty and abundance. The dark consciousness that has existed on the planet for a long time is just a tarp. Many have believed that the tarp is the truth or the totality because the tarp has done its job well by covering up the goodness. It is time to realize and accept abundance. Lift up the tarp. Lift up.

About Your Process
Today, whenever you perceive something that appears to you as pain or confusion or discomfort of any kind, just think of it as a tarp. And more specifically, think of it as a tarp that has done its job well and is no longer needed. Consider if you lay a tarp over your furniture while you paint the ceiling. Do you continue to live with the tarp on your furniture after the painting is complete? Of course not. You lift it up, fold it, and store it for the next job. It is not helpful for you to get angry at the tarp because that just makes you feel heavier or more hopeless. Instead, just lift up the tarp. If you need help, ask those who know how to lift up this stuff. Better yet, give your attention to positive aspects that you wish to experience. Abundance is everywhere. Spirit is everywhere. The divine is omnipresent. Joy is ubiquitous.

Make this a magnificent day!

September 8, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:00:12 +0000

“I open to allow abundance to operate in my life.
All my needs are met, in time and on time.”

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
Your thoughts activate the creative force in the physical plane. You need energy, though, and the energy of abundance is available to operate these fleshy vehicles on this earth. You manifest from Spirit. You manifest from Spirit by aligning yourself with the divine and opening to allow the Universe to respond. I do not advocate manipulation or bargaining with God or taking from others. I advocate lifting your consciousness so that you are aware that you are manifesting from Spirit into the physical plane. These manifestations are fast, easy, joyous, and realized with integrity. You, who are here to bring the light into dark places, find that this is very hard to do if you feel hopelessly needy. When you feel needy, you absorb the light; when you feel your needs are met, you radiate the light. When you have unmet needs (and you always will), you can radiate the light by trusting yourself to receive the flow of the Universe in the only time that is: now.

About Your Process
At first, you may have difficulty accepting the truth of this affirmation. If so, here are two optional approaches (1) Affirm it anyway (let it be an affirmation of trust). Or (2) Affirm it and observe the thoughts or other reactions you experience to the affirmation. Then create an appropriate process or affirmation to deal with the reactions. For example, if you have a disgruntled reaction such as, “Yeah, sure, all my needs are met, I just can’t have any wants,” you might return to the September 1 affirmation and affirm something like: “I give myself permission to release disgust (or anger or victim consciousness or resentment or hopelessness) from every level of my energy field, easily and effortlessly.” Or you might simply give up to the angels any negative reactions to today’s affirmation, knowing they will carry off the reactions joyously.

Make this a fulfilling day!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of September 8-14, Abundance

Jeanie — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:00:53 +0000

Greetings! In this message, I will give you an overview of the next seven days at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day or, simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive daily alerts by email, please subscribe to our email list (check the top tab or the navigation bar). Make your process work for you.

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for Abundance.

About Receiving/Accepting Affirmations and Abundance
To be able to receive abundance is perhaps the most important concept related to our theme of abundance. While I generally prefer to state what is and often hesitate to give too much attention to what is not, this seems to be a time to explain the not-it. Receiving abundance is not grabbing something, not deflecting compliments, not feeling guilty about having something that someone else does not have, not saying “oh, you shouldn’t have,” not a lucky guess / opportunity / break, not available only to those who are smart / rich / of a particular race or color / lucky / hard working, not having lots of money, not manipulating to get something. Phew! Lots of nots; lots of knots.

Receiving abundance runs parallel to the ability to trust unconditionally that the Universe responds to all your needs and wants. You must receive the response. In other words, the sentiment “I’ll trust the Universe as long as that check shows up by September 15, otherwise, forget it!” does not qualify as unconditional trust. You must accept that you are in a process of receiving abundance and that it comes in many ways: through your own ingenuity, opening your eyes to the majesty of the earth, appreciation from friends and families, gifts, food that grows from the soil, creativity, synergy of ideas.

About your Process in the Second Week
If you feel “hooked” on the belief that money and abundance are synonymous, I suggest that you work with a process of uplifting your gratitude to the true Source. Whenever something you desire comes into your life, thank both the physical source and the Divine Source. One example: you receive your paycheck on Friday afternoon: Thank your job (or your boss or your skills) and then thank the Divine (or God or The One or the angels or Spirit). Another example: you see (your eyes receive) a beautiful oil painting: thank the artist (or the art gallery or the artist’s inspiration) and then thank the Divine. Even though the Divine is First Cause (and is truly the One to be thanked first), this process trains you to shift from the physical form or appearance to the true Source. Also, the Divine does not need your appreciation: you are the one most fed when you feel or express appreciation.

And if you do not feel hooked on the belief that money and abundance are synonymous, bravo. You still have an assignment (if you choose to accept it): Be a witness of any example that indicates a call for abundance. Notice I say “witness,” not “judge” and not “reporter” and not “teacher.” When you witness the call for abundance, send your thanks to the Source. Your gratitude need not have any content, just loving energy. Sprinkle thanksgiving and love wherever you place your attention, then see miracles manifest.

About the Affirmations in the Second Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent receiving and accepting for Abundance, I would combine two affirmations: the one for September 13, “I accept abundance in all aspects of my life. I shift my attention from visible means of support to invisible means of support” and for September 10, “I allow the energy of abundance to flow through me. I recognize that giving and receiving are the same.” The merged affirmation would be: “I recognize that giving and receiving are the same, as I shift my attention from visible means of support to invisible means of support.” These concepts are very important as you continue to lift your consciousness about abundance.

Make this a positive week!

September 7, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:00:12 +0000

“I let Spirit
(My Higher Self, God, My Spirit Guides, The One,
The Force, Infinite Source)
purify any remaining thoughts and feelings of limitation and poverty.“

Greetings! Our theme is Abundance at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-abundance. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
On this last day of the Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations, trust Spirit to handle anything that you might have missed. Since you may have become so familiar with your limitations that you accept them as truth, surrender now to Spirit to handle the remains. Call higher power by whatever name you choose, by all names that come to your awareness, or by no name. Release. Release the need to release. Align with Spirit to raise your vibration. Put more trust in Spirit than in thoughts and feelings of limitation.

About Your Process
I often conduct guided meditations about the energy of abundance. Here is a small sample, which is designed to be read aloud. A pause is indicated as “……” so that you slow down generally and in particular at that place. This pause is a perfect time to close your eyes. Another option is to make a tape recording so that you can do this brief guided meditation with your eyes closed.

Go deep within …… deep within. …… If you notice any distractions in your environment, remind yourself that there is an inner world and an outer world. …… Now is a time to be focused on your inner world. ….. In this inner place, ask for an image that represents abundance. …… Allow yourself to breathe deeply, …… breathing in the light and breathing out anything unlike the light. Breathe in your image of abundance. …… Breathe out darkness and release limitation. …… Breathe in universal energy and breathe out belief in lack. …… Rest your attention on your image of abundance. …… Return your attention to your breath and linger as long as you choose in feelings of replenishment.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow the very important Receiving/Accepting affirmations for abundance begin. Today is a good day to cleanse your home or office, to empty physical trash as well as emotional or mental trash. After emptying out, you may find yourself more receptive to accepting the abundance of the Universe. You may also want to re-visit your over-arching intention for abundance.

Make this a pure day!

September 6, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:00:26 +0000

“I dissolve thoughts that suggest there is not enough.
I end preoccupation with money as the definition of
abundance and self-worth.“

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
The belief in lack or “not enough” is so prevalent that even persons who are otherwise spiritually awakened often step into this belief by focusing on appearances and calling them truth. Here are two truths to ponder: the Universe provides more than enough and you must align with Spirit (Universal energy, God source, infinite intelligence) to manifest what you desire. A good way to align with Spirit is to close your eyes. With your outer eyes closed to duality, you can more easily see with the single (also called “third”) eye of Spirit.

With your physical eyes open, you tend to see the already-manifested matter and believe (erroneously) that this is all that exists and therefore must be divided. With your spiritual eye open (and your physical eyes closed until you have trained yourself to see spiritually), you are more able to perceive the infinite substance from which all physical things are manifested. The concept of division is limiting; the concept of multiplication resonates more closely with the unlimited and creative qualities of abundance. Manifestation is a constant expansion of Spirit.

About Your Process
So, how is your arithmetic? Do you live to add, subtract, multiply, or divide? To be an effective mathematician, you need to know how to do each procedure and to know when each one is appropriate. Using only these four possibilities (add or subtract or multiply or divide) as answers, how do you respond to the following questions: What do you do when you see a friend? What do you do when you open your check book? What do you do when you pick up the telephone to answer it? What do you do when you meditate? What do you do when you think about work? What do you do when you work? What do you do when you play? This month, if you are successful at subtracting only two negative misconceptions (or negating only two equations), let them be these: Money equals abundance; money equals your worth. Close your eyes and see more clearly.

As you become aware of specific beliefs that are limiting thoughts, you may wish to return to working with the affirmations of September 1 and September 2. You can adjust either or both affirmations to incorporate the limiting beliefs that you discover, if you choose. You will find that writing these affirmations according to the process described will be particularly effective.

Make this a plentiful day!

September 5, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 12:00:46 +0000

“I cut negative bonds of attachment to lack and limitation.
I cancel the belief that struggle is noble.“

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
Today, cut, unhook, snip, unfasten, sever, unyoke, purge, chop, unplug, end, split, unbind, eliminate, liberate, burn, unknot, disentangle, nullify, remove, withdraw, eradicate, erase, obliterate, dig out, flush, explode, detach, cancel, disengage, or otherwise disconnect from beliefs in lack and limitation. In the affirmation, “cut” and “bonds” are used in very general ways; many other words can work as well. As to the idea that struggle is noble: I encourage you to honor that you can be noble and graceful at all times and that struggle itself is not noble. Struggle is also not necessary.

About Your Process
Your work today is to disconnect from anyone or any thing that fosters your belief in lack and/or limitation. Here is an energetic exercise:

Allow your imagination to tell you what the “bond” to lack and/or limitation looks or feels or sounds like. (Hint: if your thoughts take you to remembering how the bond was created or who did what to whom, you have strayed off the exercise. Return to the sensate qualities of the bond itself.)
Identify the instrument or substance that disconnects or neutralizes the bond most effectively. (Examples: a metal pipe might require a blow torch and a crew of workers to remove all traces of the metal; a nylon string with a fish hook on the end may require scissors plus pliers to straighten the hook and gentle hands to remove it so there is no damage.)
Repeat (1) and (2) for any additional bonds.
Play, play, play. Let your imagination work for you. Your imagination worked when you created the illusion of lack and limitation, now you can use illusion to erase the false belief. Step into your truth.

Make this a free day!

September 4, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:00:52 +0000

“I release memories that allowed belief in poverty and limitation.
The Angel of Abundance assists me in letting go of false beliefs.”

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation

Memories of past experiences can be relived again and again and again in your thoughts. Historic memories that you do not recall personally can be viewed on television or the movies in full color, including music to further embed the memory! The Angel of Abundance does not collude with the beliefs in limitations that human beings defend as truth. Angels only work with love and highest good, so you cannot manipulate them to do something that is not aligned with integrity. Angels live in the present and in the Presence; they willingly lift off the toxicity of limited beliefs, if you ask them. You can request angelic help for yourself and others. I ask that angels come closer to you and to all those who read this message.

About Your Process
If you are willing to invest ten minutes to release limitations, you can do the following exercise. Identify a past experience (a memory) that suggests poverty or limitation. It may be dramatic or mild, long ago or recent. Trust whatever comes to your awareness. Then write down or type out a few words that describe the memory, e.g., “Mother said, ‘We don’t have enough money for that.’” Or, “I saw people begging for food.” Keep it simple. When you have your few words, take three deep, smooth breaths. Begin to see or imagine that you see light or angels or spiritual helpers come right into the description you have written. This spiritual energy then moves into the memory itself to dissipate the limiting belief associated with the memory. Continue for several minutes; remember this energy is unlimited. Feel goodness and lightness. Now, (and this is the most important) do something else that makes you feel good.

Make this a true day!

September 3, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:00:08 +0000

“I let go of all blockages to abundance.
Resistance dissolves. Jealousy transmutes. Inadequacy dissipates.”

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
Humans have a lot in common with houses. One commonality is that both have to be cleaned regularly. The affirmations this week are intended to assist in this cleaning and clearing. Resistance, jealousy, and inadequacy collected from past experiences are just some of the dynamics that clutter up the energy field. As you let them go by taking them to the energetic trash bin, space is created for the abundance of spirit. Keep in mind that these dynamics to be released are those that have collected in the energy field, not thoughts and emotions that are honest expressions of today’s experiences. When you no longer have clutter from the past and stay alert to clearing in the present, you are practically self-cleaning.

About Your Process
When you come across a file from 1989 that has no interest or relevance to you today, what do you do with it? I expect the answer is that you take it to the recycling bin or the paper shredder, where angels are waiting for this raw material to transform its energy for more useful purposes than creating confusion with the present files. As you work with today’s affirmation (and, as always, feel free to change the words if others resonate more closely for you), you may also want to clean out a closet or a drawer or cabinet. What you do on one level impacts other levels. So, clean, wash, scrub. Remember to do it joyously.

Make this a clean day!

September 2, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

Jeanie — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:00:02 +0000

“I rescind obsolete vows of
struggle, poverty, sacrifice, and unworthiness.”

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
This “rescinding vows of limitation” affirmation applies only to outdated vows, not to current, desired vows. A vow is an oath, promise, pledge, commitment, declaration, etc. When initially promised, vows may have been conscious or unconscious, formal or informal, intentional or unintentional, religious or secular.

Words such as “never” and “always” and “forever” punctuate vows with longevity (eternity is a long time). Intensity adds further impact. “I’ll never be good enough” is a powerful vow of limitation. “I will struggle to my death” is a vow of limitation which can be active according to your beliefs about death. “I give all my money and property to God” is a rather interesting vow of poverty, since the universal source of energy does not have much use for money or property.

Many such vows have been reinforced in the energy field generation after generation, transferred through culture, custom, and heredity. As you release these outdated vows, you also release yourself, which many refer to as “forgiveness.”

About Your Process
In addition to working with today’s affirmation by writing or saying it, you may find it helpful to identify the exact vow or statement that you most desire to rescind. What past vows of limitation are relevant to your situation? “You’ll never have everything you want” may be the statement of a loving parent cushioning a child against disappointment, but it has the impact of a vow of limitation for the child who grows to an adult with the same limitation. Someone growing up with the adage “The love of money is the root of all evil” is unlikely to have a positive relationship with money, or love for that matter. “If you work hard, you will make money” has a panorama of paths to conditions of happiness or unhappiness, easy or hard work, money or lack of it.

About Rescinding Limiting Beliefs
I have posted an article at my Web Site explaining the process of rescinding limiting beliefs. This extensive article is available in several sections. Read Rescinding Obsolete Thoughts and Limiting Beliefs.

Make this a promising day!

September 1, Positive Affirmation for Abundance

“I give myself permission to release lack
easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field.“

DailyAffirm is celebrating its sixteenth Anniversary this month! Celebrate with us. Tell your friends. End your limiting beliefs about money!

About Today’s Affirmation
This very powerful affirmation opens up the release of much that has built up and believed in the human consciousness. Ideas about anti-abundance are everywhere: thoughts about not enough, feelings of low self esteem, fears about money, limitations in accomplishments, thoughts about limited resources, feelings of insecurity, beliefs of unworthiness. These have been created by the part of the human will that has chosen to focus on lack and limitation. It is truly time to give your attention to those thoughts that help you to create experiences of abundance and joy. You can let anti-abundance go easily and effortlessly or you can resist and argue for your limitations. You must make your own choice.

It is important not to take the discussion of “lack consciousness” personally. Each person is responsible for some part of the lack consciousness, but much of it has been around for a long time. Unfortunately, lack consciousness is alive and well in all parts of the planet. You can change this dynamic in your part of the planet simply by giving your attention to what you want to create or feel.

About Your Process
Do you argue for your limitations? Hint: you argue for your limitations when you insist that you have it rough or when you try to convince someone how sick / poor / unable you are.

Do you believe there is not enough? Hint: you believe there is not enough when you hoard resources (time, money, other resources) or are afraid there will not be adequate resources in the future.

Do you feel insecure? Hint: you feel insecure when you consider yourself a victim or when you have a generalized fear that you are unsafe.

All these dynamics, and many other examples, are part of the “lack consciousness.” Many folks have colluded to create a strong belief in lack. And here’s the Truth: these are false beliefs unless you believe they are true!!!!! They are not absolute, although they may seem or feel absolute, and you can certainly make them real when you give your attention to them. However, they are manifestations and creations of the human consciousness. Please know, this is the good news. Why? Because you can start right now to create a new reality for yourself.

Make this a creative day!
