I've been fascinated with abundance thinking for years and truly thought I had it worked out, but scarcity thinking has reared it's head in my life at the moment (I'm almost eight months pregnant- what could be more abundant! LOL). I've been a bit slack with practicing abundancy principles, and needed to be reminded of how powerful they have been for me. Does anyone else constantly battle with abundance vs scarcity? I've got a heap of resources and exercises that I dabble in when i need to - what does everyone else do?

Have you read the Tao of Abundance? It is an awesome book. Here's a link where you can read a few pages. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0140196064/reader/4/ref=lib_rd_TT01/102-5489580-9388969#reader-link My baby is due September 29th I've got a heap of resources and exercises that I dabble in when i need to - what does everyone else do? The only thing I really do actively is: Every once in awhile I go through my house and get rid of things I don't use anymore, and I drop it off to the best Charity I can find, I don't have yard sales or put things like this out on the side of the road for the garbage people to pick up, I think that is karmically lazy, or the "junkers" that come around at night and go through and pick out the good junk (my mother is one of these- and I think it is depraved. She has some serious scarcity issues). Anyway, I rambled past my point. I'm amazed that everytime I do this material clearing out, within a month someone approaches me with bags full of baby clothes right when I need them, sometimes clothes for me, etc. I don't really do anything else except just try to keep my thinking right! Try not to get to negative, and know that I have everything I need, and if I don't it will come. What do you do? Dee

affirmations work really well to remove the scarcity feelings. i also stop, breathe, (okay come on, another deeper breath this time!) and tell myself that i am exactly where i need to be right now and that the goddess always provides for me. i've never been homeless or starving..........so just breathe. then i reiki myself and try to relax. i had a little panic attack last night about money and then i did this and voila, i'm feeling better today! love and light, jade

Butterfly, Deepak Chopra has a book out called Creating Affluence and the one thing out of that that works for me is that everytime I have a negative thought....I just think NEXT, and move right on. Simple, but good.

This site is fantastic for abundance principles. http://www.accessabundance.com One thing that totally changes my life when I use it is a gratitude journal. Each day I write 5-10 things I am grateful for, and 5-10 I acknowledge myself for. It gets you in a completely different mindset for the day, constantly looking for things you can ad to the journal.
