Love, Abundance and The Gathering of the Peacemakers Part 2

September 9, 2008 Wealth No Comments


I have a special Gathering of The Peacemakers video presentation featuring pictures, commentary and live music from the event. 

 

But, before I share that let’s first explore Love and Abundance, topics of this weeks’ Blog of Love.

 

Lately I’ve been thinking about how to keep my awareness focused on intentions of love, abundance, and compassion for myself and my world.   

 

Here’s what I found: It all begins with your mind by committing to only producing thoughts of love, gratitude and forgiveness in your life right now.  This might sound obvious but think about it…We are exposed to thousands of ads, images and other external stimulus daily.  Things we read yesterday are easily pushed out by this daily psychic invasion. No wonder we often feel confused and unbalanced. 

 

That’s why we must CONSTANTLY REMIND ourselves of this awareness.  And trust me, no one needs this reminder more than me.  (A Gemini who’s mind thinks of new ideas at 420,000 miles an hour)  But back to the love…

 

I recently reread a fantastic article by Harold Becker—president and founder of The Love Foundation—which really resonated with me today.  His thoughts go along with exactly what I’ve been thinking and feeling:

 

“In many ways we have applied our outer pursuits of materialism to our expectation and experience of love and limited it as a simple commodity: either as an emotional sentiment, physiological expression or brokering tool for affection and acceptance. 

 

Yet real love encompasses every facet of our life and is an ever present potential in every moment of our existence.

 

Will we go beyond this duality and embrace the potential of unconditional love where wealth and poverty merge into abundance for all? 

 

Can we allow the wisdom of our heart to decide the course of our collective humanity?”

 

I say YES!  Yes, yes, yes. 

 

Here are simple steps to merge wealth and poverty into abundance for all:

 


The Abundance Morning Blast: 3 Steps to Infusing Your Day with Endless Abundance

 

Our goal at the Year of Love has always been to share practical applications of Love.  Let me share a concrete example of how I use love and abundance every morning—borrowed from Success Ultra Now’s I AM Wealth Program

 

1.   Speak Abundance

 

My day begins with spoken abundance affirmations: “My natural state is of infinite abundance, I have attained everything right now and forever more, I am an embodiment of endless love, peace, purity, power and bliss.”  These are just a few affirmations from a page-long list I have.  (Stay tuned I will be sharing more about this Abundance Affirmation List in my next message.)

 

2.   Breathe in Abundance

 

After reciting the affirmation I take a moment comfortably meditating in silence, imagining myself breathing in endless abundance, contentment and fullness.  With each additional breath I feel the abundance, contentment and fullness deeper and deeper.  I continue to breathe like this for 5-10 minutes.

 

3.   Become an Abundance Watcher

 

Next as I run out the door to work, I make a commitment for the whole day to notice, appreciate and bless the abundance of everything around me.  I go out into the world as an abundance watcher mentally cataloging signs of abundance.  If I see someone who has abundance—let’s say in the form of a Mercedes, Porsche, or BMW—I’m happy for them.  I am gracious that this abundance is a part of me.

 

“The outer world of physical form is our creative playground and allows us an infinite number of ways to express our potential.  Yet, long ago we established a false premise that there is a limited amount of resources and that only by control and manipulation can we maintain an orderly reality.” ~ Harold Becker

 

On the flip side if I see someone lacking in abundance—maybe who’s homeless or drives a beat-up jalopy—I bless them.  I do this by seeing them as infinitely abundance beings.  I then thank them for the opportunity to improve myself and my world through loving abundant intentions.

 

 

But here’s the challenge:  Often within 60 minutes of arriving at work I go on awareness autopilot.  Meaning I forget to actively concentrate on loving abundant thoughts.  Keeping your now moment awareness focused on love takes practice.  Sometimes I forget for the whole day.

 

There’s good news though!  Every moment you do this you’re getting better and better at maintaining this loving abundant perspective.  And that’s why it’s important to pace yourself.

 

My abundant occurrences over the past few months:

 

  • I received a promotion at work and got a raise
  • I got a $100 tip
  • I have noticed very HIGH END cars around me ALL the TIME.  ($60,000+)
  • People call me excitedly with business ideas where my skills fit it perfectly

 

The awareness of love, abundance and bliss is a wonderful place to be.  See you there?

 

Much love and abundance to you,

Money is Love

July 25, 2008 Wealth No Comments

A few months ago I read a book called Money is Love. It really opened my eyes about what money really is, and how most of us have such as limited perspective of money, myself included. The book was so powerful that I contacted the author, Barbara Wilder, and asked her to do a short interview with me. She graciously agreed.

Here is our interview with Barbara Wilder, love expert:

Who are you?
I am Barbara Wilder. I am first and foremost a lightworker. I founded the Transformational Light Center in Boulder, Colorado, where I lead workshops and do transformational therapy and healing work with groups and individuals. I am also the author of two books. Money Is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money and Embracing Your Power Woman: 11 Steps to Coming of Age in Midlife. I spent twenty-five years in the entertainment industry, first as and actor in NY and LA, and then as a production executive and script development exec and script writer in film and television in LA. In the past couple of months I have been reconnecting with my roots. I have written, directed and acted in my first play. It had it’s first performance in February, and it’s next will be in May. It’s called Power Woman Magic. Very fun.

What would you say is your life purpose?
I believe one’s life purpose in an ongoing process that continues to unfold as we move through life. The thread that I see most clearly now in my life is to reach out to others to share my deep belief in love, light, prosperity, and peace on earth for every single being.

How do you use love to grow your business?
When we are in a state of love and grace, our businesses grow around us. I always tell people to choose love instead of fear and there is always enough.

How do you personally use the Money Is Love philosophy in your own life?
I work with the tools I teach in my book. I bless every monetary transaction I enter into with the mantra “money is love.” I meditate daily with the light. I always direct light and love into my bills as I pay them. I use the light meditation and journaling from the book to continue to heal my own personal issues and the societal issues around money.

What is the most important thing you’d like people to take away from your book?
War, poverty, hunger, and crime are caused by the fear that surround money and its scarcity. Money is energy, and energy is limitless. Only our fear and our limited way of thinking make money seem scarce. Choose love over fear. Infuse your money and your finances with love, and you will find peace with your finances. Once you have found peace with your own finances, you will begin to spend money as love, and that will help infuse the world economy with love. As money healed with love and light moves throughout the global economy, it will begin to heal the entire world, so that there can be abundance for all. The Great Mother wishes abundance for all her children, not just a chosen few. Live in love.

Blessings,
Barbara Wilder

We really appreciate Barbara and the work she is doing, and highly recommend checking out Barbara’s work at her website: BarbaraWilder.com

With Love,
Justin
