I have been practicing a very simple formula for abundance for some time now. Friday, March 20, 2010 marked the two-year anniversary of my very first gift.
This simple formula I mention is:
God Consciousness + Gratitude + Giving = Abundance
When I say God Consciousness, I mean actively engaging in some form of spiritual practice each day -- prayer, meditation, spiritual study, yoga, writing, making art, singing, dancing, hiking in nature... or anything else that feels spiritual to you.
Gratitude is taking time each day to acknowledge the things you feel blessed with. I find that when I focus on my blessings, they expand.
Then there is the third "G" -- Giving. For me this means making a mindful effort to be of service to another person each day. Sometimes it means listening to someone who needs a witness, or offering a "thing" to someone or money to a cause that matters to me. Other times my gifts are kind words or a simple smile.
===================================
I want to remind you all to STAY OPEN TO RECEIVE as you continue your personal Giving Challenge. Part of the larger intention of this experiment is to help increase the field of abundance on the entire planet – and that means for you as well!
So today, give some great things from your heart... without expecting anything specific in return, and keep your heart open to receive something amazing back from the universe.
I'd love to hear any insights you've all gained about how the giving challenge has changed your ability to receive abundance. I would also love to hear about any unexpected gifts you've been given.
Peace and light to you all!
