Let’s change those negative assumptions about money before you run off to the next shoe sale. You can have what your heart desires because your source makes it impossible for you to be anything but abundant. Prosperous thinking includes seeing abundance in everything in your purview – purview – including what you offer to the world in the form of your true self. Work with universal order by knowing that you are worthy of abundance, and set your mental state on a new, steady, and prosperous course. You can demonstrate the life you want to live!

I live life with ease. I expand my mind to include what I desire in life. I ask, and I know I am worthy of receiving. of receiving. I open my heart to a new level of thankfulness of thankfulness and recognize all the good in my life. I love being prosperous because it is my natural state. I go with the abundant flow of life of life and do not paddle against the current. My ride is joyful and easy and includes everything I desire.

Today I stop focusing on attracting money and focus on my source, which is my unlimited supply. My source is the foundation of prosperity. From this day forward, I inhale abundance and permanently bring it into my awareness. I choose to identify with my source; therefore I am abundance and prosperity. I am now aligning my higher self with a vision of prosperity. of prosperity. I exhale success and satisfaction with each breath.

I am in tune with the rhythm of life of life and its natural ebb and flow. I do not arrest the natural flow of the world – I recognize I am part of the flow. I give and receive with the tremendous energy of love. My energy of giving and receiving is powerful and brings more good to others and to me. I love being generous because all I release returns to me.

I am thankful for what I receive and remain open to receiving more. Each time I feel the urge to complain about money, I replace it with a thankful statement. I turn every complaint into a By Rev. Dr. Charlene M. Proctor | COPYRIGHT 2005‐2010 www.charleneproctor.com

compliment. When others complain about money, I express thanks out loud for the good in the world. I am an ambassador of abundance energy because I transform negativity into thankfulness.

My prosperity is a mirror of my own thoughts. Today I expand my vision of abundance by accepting my own worth. I am a worthy person and deserve the best in life. I already trust that the universe guides me in making good and beneficial choices; therefore I am unafraid of being rich. I deserve all good that comes my way. I love being in an abundant state because the universe knows no boundaries in providing as much as I want and need.

Because we are all spirit, we are all part of the of the source. Whatever I say about others, I am saying about my self. When I see others, I also see my self; therefore I choose to see everyone and everything as full and fulfilled. I see the world as robust, filled with opportunity, and richly abundant; therefore I attract those ideas into my life. Our economy is healthy and we are all part of an of an abundant and prosperous equation.

I can demonstrate anything in my life that I want with the right mental mindset. If I label everything in a way that is unachievable for me, then I cannot achieve it. From this day forward, I replace my words with a vocabulary of prosperity. I can afford anything and everything because I am open to abundance in all avenues in my life. I am worthy of having of having things of worth. of worth.

Where do our prosperity and abundance attitudes come from? Creating an abundant life is about mastering the process of thinking. Your abundance is not determined by outside conditions but is a manifestation of your of your beliefs about what is possible. Ask yourself: 

Was I raised in a family where I felt guilty about “having”? Did my family make me feel that having money or material things was bad? Did we diminish our prosperity consciousness because I was told that it was evil (or bad, snotty, selfish) to have means? Do I have negative past programming about money and success? Were my parents uncomfortable with money?



Do I reward myself only when I lack what I want in my life? Do I reward myself only when I fail?



Have I been afraid to be a success? Am I success‐conscious or deprivation‐conscious? Do I deserve to have what I want? Do I love the vision of enjoying what I want in life and feel joyful about a self ‐image of success? of success?



Do I believe that having takes something away from someone else? Do I believe in the concept of lack? Am I truly happy for others’ success and prosperity, or do I believe that someone who “has” diminishes my present or future opportunities?



Is the universe limited in its potential to provide for everyone? If I believe in a world with limits, then how can I realize my potential? Is spirit limited in what it can do? If not, what is limiting me, if I if I am a spark of the of the Divine?



Is money the only tool to reach reach my potential?



Am I in a constant state of awareness of awareness of who of who I am, which is spirit? If spirit If spirit is within, and spirit is unlimited, then I am unlimited in what I can do. Is that statement easy or difficult for me to accept? Why?



Am I truly thankful, and do I regularly express thanks to the universe for the goodness I have received? When I ask for something and visualize it, do I thank in advance for what I am about to receive, knowing that I have already received it? Is it possible for me to believe I have received something, even though I do not see it immediately? Why or why not?



Do I pay bills with a thankful heart? Do I pay with love and joy? Or do I pay with anger and resentment? Do I appreciate the ability I have to pay a bill?

Prosperous and abundant thinking takes practice!

Hold a constant state of prosperity

consciousness. Making room for more abundance in life is about clarity (knowing what you want) and interest (feeling deep emotion, for example, love, joy, love, joy, happiness) when you visualize having what you want. Write your own affirmation that helps you feel that being abundant and prosperous is a joyful exchange between you and the universe.


5

Write an affirmation that enlarges your idea of prosperity, and share the affirmation with someone. Know your supply is limitless and begin to recognize abundance in everything.

You will attract more abundance in your life with the right actions. Actions are symbolic and meaningful. Be generous: offer a gift in the form of compliment. Clean closets to make more room for opportunity in your life. If money is an expression of your nature and the divine, how can it change the way you act? How can you express your “money self”? List three activities that put a positive spin on your actions as a prosperous individual, whether you have money or not. 1. 2. 3.

Another activity to try is a gratitude walk, which is a walking prayer and meditation. With every step you take, find a new way to appreciate and count your blessings. A gratitude walk is a way to demonstrate, or ritualize, thankfulness for your prosperity. Go to a peaceful place, preferably outdoors, and ask spirit to light your way through the day. Clear all thoughts from your mind except those of joy of joy and gratitude. Dedicate your walk to a certain area of your life – work, family, your creative genius – genius – and recognize your sacred path. With each series of steps, of steps, identify with the unlimited abundance of the of the universe.

Creating a new mental equivalent to attract abundance and prosperity in your life requires discipline. With clear intention and a steady focus, you will manifest what you want. You’ve already experienced this in your life. What memories do you have of a of a past circumstance where you were very focused on getting what you want, and you received it? What do you remember about the experience of manifesting? of manifesting?


6

Next, write down a new dream you have, and the mental equivalent you need to make it happen.


7

Now vocalize your dream. Share it with someone, describe it with great detail, and say why you believe your dream can come true.

Manifestation is a two‐part equation: Learning to ask for what you want in life is about having the courage and voice to ask. The second part is about having clarity and passion. Let’s practice by singing a mantra in Sanskrit that both recognizes the abundance of the of the universe and who you are (All that Is). Since we are part of All that Is, it is virtually impossible NOT to be abundant. The more we vocalize our intention, intention, and recognize that the universe is wildly abundant, brings us one step closer to realizing our dreams. When we chant, pray, or repeatedly speak a phrase, it becomes our reality when coupled with clarity and passion. Just like reinforcing negative thoughts that have damaging effects, positive and uplifting spoken words, in the form of chanting and prayer can solidify these thought forms. Repetition is good!

This is because our bodies, all the way down to our cellular structures

internalize what we think, and we hold those thoughts within us. It becomes an automatic program that can either make us unhealthy or liberate us. Remember, we always demonstrate that which is in our thought process. And the more we say it, speak it, sing it, and think it, the more we will believe. We will move from the thought to the form – and move into a state of congruency with the idea. Like attracts like! Then, those thoughts can become our realities. There is a wonderful mantra we can share today, filled with positive, powerful, and abundant thoughts: Om shrim shriyei namaha

In this particular song, we also say: Sat patim dehi parameshwara

This is translated a few ways: Please bring to me a supreme masculine and spiritually oriented male partner ‐ or‐ Please give to me a man of truth who embodies the perfect masculine attributes

(With regards to the feminine, here is another!) Narayani patim dehi dehi shrim klim parameshwari

(Please let me attract a supreme feminine and spiritually oriented female partner – or – please bring to me a woman who embodies the perfect feminine attributes This is written in Sanskrit. This song is recorded by Miten with Deva Premal “Songs for the Inner Lover”. Find it through amazon.com.

Let’s wake up with visions of prosperity and abundance. Unseat old, negative programs when the impulse strikes! I hope you will find the following affirmations helpful in changing faulty thinking. They are my abundant gift to you:

When I dwell on the idea of lack, I build a consciousness of lack and it attracts more lack. Whatever I ask for, I receive, because the natural state of the of the unlimited universe is to provide for me. I now have a mindset of abundance because my source is unlimited! I am part of a universal order that provides an abundant and inexhaustible supply. I see abundance reflected in all areas of my life. My income and all things that are valuable to me are prospering and growing bigger as I notice how much abundance there is in the world.

I am grateful for every gift in my lif e. e. I am an open channel to receiving all my goodness, no matter where it comes from. I am now opening the door to an abundant and prosperous world, and I step through with joy. I love being receptive to all good in my life. I thank the universe for every gift that comes my way and know I am always ready to receive my good from everywhere, everything, and everyone.

My prosperity is a reflection of my of my consciousness. Therefore, the thoughts I hold in my mind are of abundance. There is an unlimited supply of money in the universe that is constantly By Rev. Dr. Charlene M. Proctor | COPYRIGHT 2005‐2010 www.charleneproctor.com

What ever you choose to hold in your mind, and think that way is what you will see. We have the ability to choose the way we react to people and circumstances because we can override old, ingrained patterns in the brain that are no longer useful. Grooves in our associative memory banks of people, events, times, places, things can run deep. We can assign emotions to those memories that are recorded in complex strings of nerve cells that are wired together. These strings become networks on information we can access at any time. You then can can become “addicted” to that emotional state because your reactions to certain things have chemicals that are emitted in the body. So, often we look for situations in life that give us that hit. To change we need to first recognize that those ideas, patterns, or neural nets, need to be changed, and be pruned. Experts remind us that our subconscious minds will allow support who we want to be and who we are being.

He said, when discussing the “I AM” that the individual “I” is part of the of the Universal “I AM.” I AM Consciousnesses means that part of thought, both conscious and subjective, not only affirms its unity with God but also understands the meaning of its of its affirmation. Total identity with the infinite. Identify with limitlessness all the time

Think about those areas of your of your life you’ve highlighted that might need attention! Remember to write in your self ‐development jour development journal regularly. Slide: Lesson Closer: Abundance This week’s power thought:

Homework: 1. Journal Entries. As you begin your week, begin to open your self to the unlimited nature of YOU. Be open to how the universe provides you with opportunity and avenues for creative expression. Say the Affirmation for the Unlimited Woman and imagine you are an “unlimited” being. What comes to mind when you think of “being unlimited?” Do you block those thoughts? Do you have memories of others of others telling you cannot be abundant, successful, or joyful? or joyful?

Jot down in your journal any old mental programs that crop up. Recognize them, but gently move your mind each time to one of abundance, abundance, success and joy. Be aware of how often you say “I can’t”, “I don’t have” or “I will never have.” These limited thoughts block your ability to open up to the abundance that is available to you and your birthright. Remember, the first step is to change your thinking, then your actions. With the clarity and passion you have for your own ideas, you can attract what you desire. Let’s begin this week and keep your entries in an “abundance journal” “abundance journal” which can be a notebook simply dedicated to your commitment to remind your self of the unlimited substance that is YOU.

2. Affirm. I’d like you to write an affirmation that will remind you of your unlimited and abundant nature. I’ll get you started:

“What I want in my life I think about. What I don’t want in my life, I don’t think about. From this day forward, I stop thinking about lack because I don’t want lack in my life! I replace those thoughts with a vision of a beautiful garden, with fruit, flowers, and vegetables growing in rich abundance. I know this garden is a reflection of my life. My garden is overflowing with supply and enriched by the abundant world we live in.” What kind of garden of garden will you mentally create this week?

I bless you with the light of the of the Divine and the Moments Moments of Empowerment of Empowerment these words will bring. Have a wonderful week, and remember – remember – I believe in you! Goddess Blessings,
