O - Open your Mind to receive Prosperity !

A useful article I came across from Internet. 
(source: http://silverandgrace.com/seven-spiritual-laws-of-prosperity-and-the-power-of-the-imaging-law) summarised as follows:

Open your mind to prosperity !
There are seven (7) spiritual laws you must live by to manifest true prosperity in your life. The discovery and implementation of these laws allowed the author to turn her  life around from abject poverty to abundant riches. These seven laws are guidelines for living an abundant life — a life of harmony, joy, and prosperity:

Law 1: The Vacuum Law – One of the fastest ways to manifest prosperity in your life is to create a vacuum. You are surrounded by good everywhere. The only lack is the lack in your mind. Open your mind to receive prosperity and you will attract it to fill that space.

Law 2: The Circulation Law – Miserly hoarding leads to recession. When you circulate substance, you keep the river of prosperity flowing freely. When you give away money, shoes, clothes or other items you are no longer using, get ready to receive your good.

Law 3: The Imaging Law – Prosperity, like all forms of success, is created in the mind first. When you image things in your conscious mind, you are actually programming your subconscious mind to manifest them.

Law 4: The Law of Ideas – We manifest prosperity by the power of ideas. If you can think of an idea, you can manifest it.

Law 5: The Law of Reciprocity – What you give comes back to you multiplied. You can never out-give the Universe. The more you give, the more you get back.

Law 6: The Law of Tithing – You never know how your tithe will come back to you. Money is a common way, but it could also come back in the form of reconciliation with someone you’re estranged from, a gift, a new relationship, a healing or a promotion.

Law 7: The Law of Forgiveness – If you hold onto thoughts of revenge, love can’t walk in. If you hold on to resentment, you are hanging on to being a victim. And if you are holding on to being a victim, there’s no space in your mind to be a victor. Release negative feelings, as they only eat you up inside and prevent you from manifesting good.

So these 7 laws are manifestation from the mind or consciousness. Spend more time to reflect and act on this and see the results !

Z- Zambala ( Tibetan God for Wealth and Prosperity)

Yellow Zambhala

All religion sciptures do mention about "wealth" or prosperity, although the meaning and interpretation may be different. Personally I think there is nothing wrong in wishing to be wealthy. Moreover, I believe poverty is an obstacle to understanding and learning the Dharma (Buddhist teachings) or other spiritual pursuits. Imagine this - How can one have the time and strength to practice the Dharma (or spiritual pursuit) if one needs to worry about your rice bowl (especially if economy is not good and companies are laying off staff), if you need to worry about money, if you need to worry about paying your bills on time, if you need to think about your children education etc. ?

Personally I think one can be both wealth and yet spiritual. Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism all have Wealth Gods, and this shows that the religions are confident with wealth and that wealth do help in one's spiritual pursuit.

In Tibetan Buddism, one of the most revered Wealth deity is known as "Zambhala" or Dzambhala. The most famous one is the Yellow Zambhala. (recalled in previously article that "yellow" symbolise "prosperity").

Some background about Yellow Zambhala : Yellow Zambhala appeared and protected Shakyamuni Buddha from harm at Rajagriha when the Maras caused a mountain slide in order to create disturbance when Buddha was teaching the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. Later on, the Buddha ask Zambhala to help to benefit all sentient beings suffering in poverty in the future and become a protector of Dharma. A person who does the practice of Yellow Zambhala regularly shall be free from poverty and hardships, their wisdom , store of merit and life span shall also increase.

Yellow Zambhala is usually represented as a round or stout male Bodhisattva. I suppose round means "prosperity" in Asian culture. He usually has ornaments typical to that of the Bodhisattvas. His left hand hold a wealth-sprouting mongoose while His right hand hold a wish-fulling jewel. His Buddhist practice, rituals, and mantras are said and done specifically for the purpose of gaining wealth. All Zambhalas are said to be the wealth giving form of Avalokitesvara, this means they are manifestation of Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin) or the Compassionate Buddha.

It is considered very auspicious to invite the image of the Yellow Zambhala in your home or office. Every morning, you can also pour some fresh water on top of the head of Zambhala with your right hand, while you chant his mantra 7 or 21 times. You can also chant the mantra of Yellow Zambhla 108 times a day; this is to tap into His blessing. The mantra of Yellow Zambhala is OM ZAMBHALA DZALIN DRAYE SOHA.

You can also wear the Yellow Zambhala’s image as a pendant or Zambhala mantra ring. By wearing their image or mantra, your energy level would be align with the energy of prosperity and wealth and in no time these would be manifested to you ! The practice of Yellow Zambhala is a very magnetising practice.

Remember that once you acquire wealth, do contribute or share your wealth to the needy people, charity or good deeds (eg. temple restoration, food for the monks etc). All these acts of giving will sow the seeds for more prosperity to come.

Most of the Tibetan temples do have Zambhala practices or rituals. Do check out in your city or neighbourhood if you are interested.


Y - Yellow for Prosperity !


Yellow = Prosperity
Yellow rays of the sun provide the light and warmth we need to sustain our life. Yellow lights our existence. It illuminates, clearing the shadows of uncertainty. It breathes a warm promise of new beginnings and hope.

A sun color, exuberantly cheerful, yellow lifts our spirits, it makes us feel happy, optimistic, expressive, friendly, creative and experimental.

Yellow helps overcome obstacles, gather self-confidence, and stimulates our mind to focus and think more clearly; awareness of self and the power to be an individual.

In the business world, yellow influences success, progress, change, business communication, to persuade with confidence and knowledge. The yellow energy connects us to our mental self. Personal power, strength, sense of self worth, transformation, courage and laughter.

According to the Chinese customs, yellow also represents "prosperity", wealth or abundance.
So if we wish to gain wealth, typically most will wear a yellow shirt, have a floral bath with yellow flowers (eg. yellow chrysanthemum) or wear a yellow pendant or ring (eg.citrine) etc. All these enhance your wealth luck and help attract the wealth energies from the Universe.

For those whom have a yellow crystal or jewel, you can do a simple exercise:

1) Hold it in your palms and shut your eyes.

2) Relax. Run through your mind your wishes and clearly envision yourself achieving them, as though it is happening right now, at this very moment.

3) Be aware and feel the happy thoughts of your wishes being granted.

4) When you are finished, place the jewel on your nightstand (beside your bed) or on your office table, or any location that is visible to you and let the magic happens.

The concept: Yellow have energy level related to Prosperity. By associating with yellow colour, you are attuning your energy level with prosperity and also requesting the Universe to grant you prosperity and abundance.

X - X-factor for Prosperity


The X-Factor for Prosperity - 5 KEY WAYS TO ATTRACT ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY

Source: Julie Plenty

When you hear the words "abundance" and "prosperity", what immediately comes to mind ? Is it money, fulfilling relationships, a lovely house to live in, peace of mind, a career/ vocation that expresses your gifts? It may be all or none of those things. It may mean something else to you. But if you want to attract more prosperity and abundance into your life, no matter how you define them, then this article outlines 5 key ways to do so.

1. Understand Attraction Law
This is better known as the Law of Attraction, as defined by Abraham Hicks, states that "you attract whatever you give your attention and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted". So, if you're curious about what you're putting out there, look at what you are attracting, the visible results in your life.

Knowing about and working with the the Law of Attraction will help you in manifesting, creating and attracting more abundance and prosperity in your life. Once you understand it, there's no turning back.

2. You get what you focus on
One of the key concepts in the Law of Attraction is that you get what you focus on, whether that be money, relationships, employment etc). So when you focus on having less, that is the experience you create for yourself. Saying that "I hate my job" will just draw even more attention to the aspects of the job that you don't like. Even if you look for another job, it'll be with that negative energy.

Just wanting something isn't enough, because you will still continue to think about what you don't have. Always focusing on what you lack means that you don't see the present and future opportunities, or begin to realise your true desires. You're getting in your own way!

3. Clear your head
..........to allow you to focus more effectively. Our minds are full of "stuff"; old, tired and limiting beliefs, which don't reflect who we are now, or who we want to become. Set aside quiet time for yourself on a regular basis to get real clear about what you really want to attract in your life. Use this opportunity to ask yourself questions.
Ask yourself: "how can I create more prosperity and abundance in my life?". Once your head is clear, you will allow the answers to come to you. Meditation is a great way to start clearing the mind.

4. Appreciate life's abundance
Appreciating life's abundance is another way to opening yourself up to accept more abundance and prosperity in your life. When you fully appreciate what you have in your life, the Universe has a way of giving you more. Keep a gratitude journal and at the end of each day, write down everything that you appreciate in your life. You'll begin to change your energy and vibration and become more internally aligned with what you want to create in your life.

5. Use prosperity affirmations
As you write your gratitude journal, it is an opportunity to write down prosperity affirmations as well. Affirmations are statements of acceptance that you use to manifest your destiny or what you want to create in your life. They are powerful, positive thoughts and words sent out to the Universe.

If you want to use affirmations to create positive changes in your life, then you must first BELIEVE that this is possible. It shouldn't be a half hearted "well, I'll give this a go and see what happens".

To make affirmations more effective, put as much positive energy in writing and saying them as possible. Visualise what you want to create and let this inform your prosperity affirmations.
When you cease operating from a position of lack, you start to create the fertile conditions to make more informed decisions, identify greater opportunities and attract more abundance and prosperity into your life.
Gratitude: X-factor for Prosperity

Editor Note: Personally, I think the X-factor here in prosperity is "Gratitude". When you're grateful for the things you have, no matter how small they may be, you will receive more of those things. If you're grateful for the money you have, however little, you will receive more money. If you're grateful for a relationship, even if it's not perfect, the relationship will get better. If you're grateful  for the job that you have, even if it's not your dream job, you will receive better opportunities in your work. Because gratitude is the great multiplier of life!

If
you use gratitude a little, your life will change a little. If you use gratitude a lot every day, your life will change in ways you can hardly imagine now. Not only does gratitude multiply everything in your life, it also eliminates the negative things.


So...Be grateful !!  Gratitude cost you nothing, but it is worth more than all the riches in the world. Gratitude enriches you with all the riches in life, because whatever you're grateful
for multiplies.

W - Wealth Vase ( Tibetan Buddhist Perspective)

TibetanWealth Vase

According to the Tibetans, wealth vases are very powerful for bringing the energies of prosperity, positive energy, abundance, hope, wealth and whatever you wish for that increases spiritual practice and virtue. The most popular wealth vase is the Zambhala wealth vase which are magnetised with the wealth, abundance and prosperity mantras afiiliated to the compassion of all of the Buddhas.

Zambhala wealth vases confer on us the blessings to achieve the inner balance between a period of lack or financial challenges. They are helpful in removing the causes of poverty, lack of wealth and abundance by restoring balance in within ourselves. Usually the wealth vase are not produced commercially, but are they are hand-made in groups by monks especially for higher purposes of increasing prosperity of good people wishing to increase wealth so that there is no hindrance in the pursuit of Dharma activity (or spiritual practice).

Usually the monks will make hundreds of vases during days long ceremonies performing spiritual practice, chanting and filling the vases. They have days of prayer and spiritual practice ( typically related to "wealth" or "prosperity") performed over them, creating a magnetic energy field. This magnetic energy field is the source of the power of these sacred objects. While the wealth vases are being fillled, monks recite prayers over the vases. Once completed, a large prayer session is conducted to invoke the energies of the wealth and blessings of the Buddhas. Zambhala is considered a manifestation of the love and compassion of Buddha. After the consecration ceremony the vases are sealed.

Note that you do not have to be a Buddhist to enjoy the benefit from the Zambhala Wealth Vases. However, it is important to engage the power of "Faith" and "Belief" that the wealth vase will support you in everything you do for the highest good.
Usually the wealth vase is a vessel containing various precious substances, such as, gold, silver, semi-precious stones, shells, and turquoise. Wealth Vases also contain grains, such as, peas, lentils, rice and all kinds of good things that beings like. It has pictures and mantras of wealth deities. The five elements, five colors and five Enlightened Buddha energies are represented inside the consecrated vase.These vases are made following very specific ritual instructions and with precious items. In simple terms, we can say that the wealth vase is a very strong magnet and help you to attract all good based on Law of Attraction.


Zambhala Wealth Vases can be kept in your sacred space in your house, or in shrine room.
When such a precious vase is placed in a home it grants protection and gives blessings of the deity to the people. In fact you can consider that now your house is the "celestial mansion" of the deity and under His protection day and night.

However, do not store them in the bathroom. You can also place the consecrated wealth vase at your place of business, in a office or anywhere that is clean and special to you. However, they should not be touched with bare hands and it would be best to put them in a casing, in a safe place (hidden away).
You can check out Tibetan Temples in your city or neighbourhood if you wish to invite a wealth vase. It is best to get the wealth vase from the temples as you are also creating a good karma for yourself by contributing to the welfare for the monks or nuns to aid them in their spiritual practices.

As mentioned, once you have acquire your new gain wealth, do contribute some to the temples or good deeds to lay the foundation for more blessings to come !

V - Vibrating your mind to Prosperity

Vibrating mind to prosperity
If you are not achieving your goals and attracting what you desire – chances are your mind is not vibrating at the same frequency as your goals and desires.

Ask yourself some simple questions:

• Do you achieve your goals and dreams ?
• Is your career everything you want it to be ?
• Is your energy & health at optimum levels ?
• Are your relationships happy and healthy ?
• Is your life easy and fun ?
• Do you wake up grateful everyday ? etc.

If NOT, it is likely that your vital force is not flowing freely and is blocked.This is likely what is preventing you from vibrating at the same frequency as your goals and desires.

According to Einstein everything is energy; it makes up all things, it holds all intelligence. Energy is not fixed; it is constantly moving and fluctuating. Your body is an energy system. Because your body is an energy system onto itself, it too is not fixed, it is constantly in flux.


Why is it then, we feel we cannot move an illness or disease, or change our state of well-being or even our financial condition when we know energy is always moving? Is it because we cannot see energy with our eyes? Because it is invisible, we discount its action and importance? However, we certainly can feel the results of our energy in motion by the effects that it creates.

What you are manifesting in your life is directly related to your energy field and it’s freedom to vibrate with optimum life force or not.  When you do not have free access to life force because of old patterns, memories and grievances, your energy field is vibrating at a substandard low frequency and therefore only resonates with other things that vibrate at the same frequency or even lower.

The ability to manifest what you desire depends on the energy matrix that you are running while you are attempting to achieve your goals and what you desire in life. If your energy field is vibrating at a low frequency because of “fear” you will only resonate with the lousy result and outcomes that vibrate at that low frequency.


Let's look at success! What frequency do you think success vibrates at, do you think it vibrates with  fear,  anger, depression or anxiety? Of course not ! It vibrates with gratitude, happiness, joy, reward, encouragement, prosperity etc.

Similarly, success, reward, and prosperity also only resonate with an energy field that is vibrating at that same frequency. Everything in life vibrates at a particular frequency and is in relationship with other people and things that also vibrate at the same frequency.

Disease vibrates in a particular frequency range; Health vibrates in a particular frequency range; Poverty vibrates in a particular frequency range; Wealth vibrates in a particular frequency range; Happiness vibrates in a particular frequency range; Depression vibrates in a particular frequency range. To experience any of these things on a consistent basis your energy field has to vibrate in the same frequency so as to resonate with it.

How do you know at what level you are vibrating at and at what frequency in life you are resonating with? You will know by what is happening in your life right now. Your present circumstances and physical condition will let you know at what level you are vibrating at and what you are resonating with.

In short, the good things in life are vibrating at a different level than the bad things in life are vibrating at. All that you need to do, is increase your level of vibration so that you can consistently vibrate with happiness, health and prosperity.

The formula is simple:

There is a Universal energy, a Divine force that creates us, sustain us, connects us to one another; and works in cooperation with our thoughts, words and actions to generate our life experiences. When we recognise and work in partnership with this benevolent power, we become masters of our own destiny !

Think Thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good, and take actions that make you feel good. Then surender the outcome, trusting that Universe will bring you the good things that you desire.

When you use this and learn to Believe it, life unfolds in miraculous ways. You will sure be presented with extraordinary opportunities to make your life wholesome and make a different to the world !




U - Universal Bank of Prosperity !

Secret Cheque

This is a very interesting prosperity exercise that all should do regularly. This can also be customised as long as it helps you in the process of visualisation and wealth manifestation.

For those whom have read the book "The Secret" ( Byrne Rhonda) you will have read about the "Secret Cheque". It is about the Universal Bank of Prosperity that is always open and with the secret cheque, you can visualise the unlimited abundance that is yours for the asking.

1) Print the cheque, then fill in the date, your name and the amount you wish to receive in your currency of your choice (eg. US/ Aussie/NZ/ Singapore Dollar, Chinese Renminbi etc).

A few key points:

- Good to include some auspicious numbers that represent prosperity in your culture.eg. For Chinese, we will include the number 8.
- Good to aim for high but reasonable amount. An unreasonable big amount may create sceptism and hinder your efforts in visualisation. Good to start small, get used to the trick in manifesting and progressively go for bigger amount
- As Chinese, we usually choose a auspicious date where the Universe's energy support such wealth-increasing activities. Check the Chinese almanac.

Keep your cheque in a prominent place where you can see everyday or attached is as part of the "Prosperity Map".

When you see the cheque, you need to generate strong Faith and visualise that the money is yours and feel as if you have already receive the money! Be grateful that now you can have and do what you want ! Imagine what you would do with this money eg. paying bills, donating to charity, pampered yourself with some shoppings, investment etc.

Now when that money really manifested (as mentioned previously the duration will depend on how strong your FAITH is and how consistent you do this exercise and generating that "positive" energy), do donate part of the money to charity or good causes as these will sow the good seeds of more prosperity to you !

Btw, you can customise this to represent different interpretation for yourself :

- Multiple cheques in different currency means multiple sources of income (especially if you in FOREX trading or doing businesses in different countries).

- Burn the cheque and visualise that it get dissolved into the Universe, which can be interpreted that you have "given" this amount to the Universe and the Universe will give back an optimum amount to you.

T - "Thank You" Box bring Success

Repost this story in one of Catherine Ponder books.
Thank You Box !

"THANK YOU" BOX BRINGS SUCCESS

1) The mother of a large family did not have ample supply with which to meet their needs. She took an old shoe box and converted it to a "thank you box."  She asked her children to write out the blessings they sought, and place them in the "thank you box." Once a week they would open the "thank you box" and go through their requests to see how many had been fulfilled. These were farm people who needed rain for their crops. One week they were in the midst of a dry period. The mother wrote down these words which she put in the "thank you box": "Thank you God for rain - a regular downpour."
This happened on Tuesday. The next Sunday as they were going through their notes in the box, they realized that on Friday there had been "a regular downpour" of rain - the first in weeks!

2) On another occasion, her husband was having trouble with his car. He needed it in his work and also to make a special trip that had been planned. He had worked and worked on his car, trying to locate the mechanical trouble. Finally his wife remembered the "thank you box" so she wrote a note: "Thank you, dear God, for helping us to locate the trouble." Within 24 hours the trouble had been remedied.

3) A relative had looked for months for a job to no avail. The wife suddenly remembered to write a thank you note and put it in the box: "Thank you God for a good position with steady income for this relative," Within two weeks the relative had the best job of her life, after having looked for work for months.

4) The children in this family often wrote out notes about the more mundane things of life: Their desire for school clothes, ice cream for dinner, or going swimming. Each week, when they reviewed their notes, they were amazed to find how many of these things had been supplied. About this "thank you box" method the mother said later, "In our family we have learned to use this 'thank you box' in solving all problems. It has become a necessity in our household. By giving thanks before we receive, our problems have often been solved."

My thoughts:

I think this is a truely beautiful story. Personally I think there are a few factors at work here:

1) When you penning down your desire in the notes, you can actually tell the Universe - - your desire.

2) By T->F->A=R (Thoughts give Feelings, Feelings create Actions and Actions give your Results !  Subsconsiously, your mind is interacting with the Universe what is your feelings and with some actions, the Universe will work its way out to give you the results.

3) "Gratitude" is an element in "Thank You Box". By giving thanks, you are emitting love and good energy to the Universe. Every single savior of the world used gratitude, because they all knew that gratitude was one of the highest expressions of love. They knew that when they were grateful, they were living in exact accordance with the law. Why do you think Jesus said THANK YOU before he performed every miracle?

Every time you feel grateful you are giving love, and whatever you give, you receive. Whether you're giving thanks to a person or feeling grateful for a car, a vacation, a sun rise, a gift, a new house, or an exciting event, you are giving love for those things, and you will receive back more joy, more health, more money, more amazing experiences, more incredible relationships, more opportunities etc. 

I think it is good to try it out and see for yourself if it works for you !

S - Secret to Law of Attraction


Faith

To recap, the Law of Attraction is basically a Universal law that states "like attracts like." In essence, you are made up of energy and the energy that you put out attracts more of the same type of energy to you. So, the whole concept of the Law of Attraction is to "focus on the things you desire in your life", and not the things that you do not desire, and the Universe will bring to you the things you desire.

The key towards how fast the things you desire and get manifested is to have that element of "FAITH". FAITH is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. FAITH is the key in transforming the invisible to the visble plane. One need to focus focus on the things you desire in your life, and with 100% FAITH that Universe will surely bring you the things you desire. The only issue here is the perfect timing, and this is dependent on your FAITH not blame the Universe that your request is unanswered.


I've noticed that when I'm in doubt the good things come to me slower. Generate strong faith and you will see that things get manifested much faster ! Have FAITH that what you desire is already yours. For those Christian, God already stated in the Bible, "I have given you the land." Now go and claim it !

I must agree that taking action in FAITH and maintaining the positive emotional level to see results on a continuing basis is very difficult, espeically in this negative and fast-paced world.If you study the LOA, the theories are simple and easy; but the on-going practice is difficult to maintain.

Next time, remember that if you experience a time delay in receiving what you want, it's only because of the time it takes you to get onto the same feeling frequency that your desire is on, and this really depend on how much FAITH you have !



P - Prosperity Map


One way to manifest prosperity is to create a "Prosperity Map".  Prosperity maps are powerful wealth creation tools which are based on the law of attraction.
Prosperity Map !

A prosperity map is a large poster board from the art-or office-supply store that you fill in with images of things you want to do, desire or become. As mentioned in previous articles, prosperity is first created in the mind.

When you imagine things in your mind, you are actually programming your subconscious to manifest the "invisible" into the physical plane.

As you create your map, put images of prosperity that speak to you emotionally. Then every time you see it, it helps anchor those images in your subconscious mind.

Most people suggest that you don't show this map to anyone. Personally I feel that it is OK and it should be displayed prominently so that you can see this every day. By seeing everyday, the prosperity map should remind you on the different things you desire to manifest and thus creating positive vibration energy.

There are no rules for how you put things on the board, except that the image has to mean something to you. It doesn't matter if anyone else understands it. They don't need to. But you have to know what it means every time you see it. It can include photos, picture or affirmations.

Some tips on Prosperity maps:

1) Use Big, Colorful Poster Boards
The map symbolizes your goals. If you want spectacular results use vivid, striking colors. Space them out generously. The idea is to create abundance.

2) Use Specific Colors For Specific Results
Depending on what you most desire use the following colors:

Green or gold poster boards for financial or job success.

White for increased spiritual knowledge.

Yellow for abundance or wealth.

Blue for intellectual accomplishments.

Pink or red for love and harmony in human relationships.

Most importantly use a color which appeals to you emotionally. Use the law of attraction effectively by utilizing bright colors.

3) Always Use Colored Pictures
Colored pictures bring better results. Aim for colors which stimulate the emotions. Use brilliant shades for quicker results.

4) Use Money On Financial Poster Boards
Unless money is posted you would have difficulty visualising and manifesting money. This is where the "Universal Bank of Prosperity" or "Secret Cheque" come in handy.

5) Place A Spiritual Symbol On The Board
This could be Buddha or any source of spiritual inspiration. A spiritual symbol protects the board and ensures that wonderful things are on the way !!

R - Receive your Blessings

Receive yoru Blessings

I personally believe that receiving blessings from the Universe is  not a complicated process but something that is pretty simple and elegant. Unfortunately for many of us we feel very skeptical and  this becomes the most difficult task to achieve.

Based on the various books on Law of Attraction, we must first believe that the blessings from the Universe are already out there and it is for us to receive. We just need to  claim it !  In our daily running about to make ends meet, we neglect to stop and think of what we already have. Just want to stress again and again that the Universe is an "Abundance Universe" and has unlimited blessings for everyone. It is only when we begin to stop thinking negatively and cease to complain about our problems that we can begin to recognise and appreciate our blessings.

We need to spend quality time to align ourselves with the Universe. For example, if  you want to be friend with someone, you need to spend time and build up relationship with him/ her.

Similarly, do you spend time and appreciate the the beauty and abundance of the Universe ?
Are you so caught up with your job, career, family, health etc. that you do not have time to appreciate the abundance Universe ?

If you do not give time to be in oneness with the Universe, it would be very diffcult to connect to the Universe's frequencies andthe abundance. Therefore make yourself available, spend some time to connect to the Universe, start with a few minutes everyday and then slowly increase the time.

It will be difficult at first because your natural self or habits tells you to forget about this and concentrate on your other activities instead. Or perhaps you are too sleepy in the morning to wake up 30 minutes earlier. But if you persevere and say NO to all these bad habits, you will soon start to experience the abundance blessings in your life.
