Having Not Having
Lack

We all know what it feels like to want something we don't have. It may be a pair of expensive jeans, a romantic partner, or rent money; it may be a certain attitude, a car, or a savings account. This is part of life, and in the best-case scenario, we experience a constant flow of money, companions and experiences, in and out of our lives. However, many of us linger in a state of wanting and not having, a state of lack that never seems to subside. We consistently perceive ourselves as not having what we need or not having what we want. This is an energetically draining state to be in. It is also self-perpetuating because how we feel about ourselves determines what we are able to create for ourselves.

How we feel profoundly influences how we perceive our reality. When we feel we are lacking, we look around and see what is not there. On the other hand, if we feel abundant, we can look at the very same situation and see a completely different picture, one full of blessings and advantages. The more we see the blessings, the more abundant we feel, and the more blessings we attract. Similarly, if we see lack, we tend to create and attract that energy.

If you find yourself habitually residing in a feeling of lack, it may be due to a core belief formed in your childhood or even in a past life. It may be because you are out of touch with your inner divinity, which is the source of your abundance. In any case, know that your perception of lack is a misperception that can be corrected with awareness and effort. It can be as simple as taking 10 or 15 minutes each day to quiet your mind and imagine yourself in a state of unlimited abundance, handling the financial demands and others in your life with total ease, drawing from an endless supply of resources. Know that it is your birthright to be fully supported in the fulfillment of your needs and desires.

[I Have A Dream]

1. This reminded me of the affirmation/decree that cassiepriam got...

from a friend who channels the Ascended Masters. She was told that this should be said every day in the morning, at lunch and in the evening before bed -- 3 times on each occasion. (Also anytime we feel negativity of any type.) It is supposed to unblock karmic and psychic obstacles to success and abundance. (She said that we should also be careful to avoid any negative thought and that we must remember that our thoughts, intentions, feelings and behavior become our karma.)

The affirmation/decree is as folllows:

I AM abundance, financial freedom and personal happiness. Now make manifest and sustain with grace.


(Thanks, cassie!)
