August 2024 Week 3

“We should have life and have it more abundantly - spiritual, mental, physical, abundant life - joyous, powerful life. This we can have if we follow the right way. Not all people will accept from God (your higher source) the gift of an abundant life, a gift held out free to all. Not all people care to stretch out a hand and take it. God’s gift, the Richest He has to offer, is the precious gift of abundant life. People often turn away from it, reject it, and will have none of it. Do not let this be true of you. I pray that I may hasten to accept the gift of abundant spiritual life.” Anonymous

I have been reading this meditation in classes this week as it spoke to me in relation to our intention this month, My New Life Begins Now. I always say, my month seems to unfold in such a way that the intention is just what I need. This reading gave me a chance to pause and embrace the abundance in my life and the joyful anticipation and hope of even more abundance that is on the way. This mind shift is taking me to a “softer” place. August has been slightly frenetic for me and last week I felt my energy spewed across multiple places…family, friends, fun activities, teaching, getting ready for the cleanse and a new coaching client. Thankfully this spiritual work I do with all of you in and out of the classroom in addition to the cleanse brought me to a settling into the abundance of my life rather than feeling frenetic and overwhelmed. In class we worked through the chakras in the body and made our way to the 7th chakra of enlightenment. Of course, pure enlightenment is elusive to all of us (or at least me), but I shared my version of enlightenment. For me it is the times in my day where I am connected with my higher source, myself and the moment I am in. This has happened this month in my time alone on my 3rd floor deck with my prayer books and journal, in classes with all of you and even on my deck at the end of the night around my fire pit with my boys, their friends and Donald. It is that feeling I have had when I am exactly in the right place and nothing else matters. Its settled and sweet. Wow, that is a gift from my God and that is living abundantly!!!
