As I was asking questions about money I got an email that got my attention.
It was an email from someone that is I feel going through much of what many of us are going through right now.
This person explained how he or she is working very hard to pay the bills, and how even though it might seem like nothing, setting up a workshop takes a lot of time and energy. So this person was saying that the workshop they were giving was offered on donation only to everyone, but this person was also asking everyone to go within and pay what they can. And was asking the ones that were able to make a larger donation than the actual value, to do so as it would support the teacher and allow the teacher to give more freely. As it would support the teacher and allow the teacher to support others.
As we have the need to move toward more balance in our world, we need the grounding of a higher principal, the universal principles of exchange, as it allows the energy to flow more fluidly amongst all of us.
As there is still so much separation at times, we can connect with each other as within we are all one.
We have to find the balance within as well the balance within the world outside of us.
If you cannot pay, than accept the love and support from others, if you are able to pay and are maybe even able to pay more, than allow yourself to share, and receive what you need in the many ways the universe will love and support you.
This is something we are all working on together and we all have to take a step toward this, we all have to take action as we all are looking for a world that is abundantly full of all that we need within ourselves.
The balance needs to be brought back to our world as we have moved so far away from it.
This means that you have to look within, really looking within and look at the excuses we sometimes make for ourselves as to why we cannot share.
I have been working in this for so long, and I have found some of the abundance within. It is now time to bring forward that abundance and I need help, I need to share.
I need help as I cannot share if there is none there to share with.
Yes, just like many others I work hard every day, I work on myself, I work on finding the right teachings, I work on setting up the workshops and yes I also need to pay bills.
I have always said that I would love to share it all freely, but I need to pay bills, I have a responsibility to have a house and buy food for my family as many have.
I also know the excuses I come up with, as we just went to an event where a donation was suggested of $ 10.00 per person. I was going to give the $ 7.00 I had as I knew I had bills to pay rent coming up. My husband said we needed to give more, so we got more. It is not that the money was not there, it was in my account, actually there was $25.00 in there, all I needed to do was take it out, it was my unwillingness and my reaction that I would not have enough. I know this is wrong and even when I know it is wrong I still have these thoughts. The money was back the next day so all I had to do was trust.
Many may find themselves using this excuse; I know I have used it myself many times. The money is there in the account, but I am not willing to take the step. Even taking into consideration that I am used to receiving a return sometimes the same day, not in money all the time, it might just be an email from someone thanking me for what I do. It is a sharing within the energies no matter what.
I also know that there is usually someone needed to make the first step and the rest will follow as it is like stepping on a bridge that we think is going to break. As we see one person reaching the other side without falling, others will follow.
So this is my first step and I ask you to watch and take a step yourself in bringing back the balance in our world so we may all receive the abundance that is rightfully ours.
We have to find a way to cross this bridge and become a connection between both sides to bring balance.
Just imagine all of us standing on this bridge hand in hand and letting the energy flow fluidly from one side to the other, from a world with lack of abundance to a world full of abundance. And as we stand there the worlds are balancing and there is abundance on both sides.
It is funny, as I am finishing up writing this I get an email from the site notifying me that someone ordered one of the free attunements, one minute later I get another email notifying me that the same person donated ten dollars.
This is where the fluidity of exchange is already starting, where the balancing is already starting, just writing about it, making the decision to take the first step.
Now I know it will not always be this fast, but as we work and make our first step, and then one more step, and one more step, we will see the result coming faster and faster.
We have to let go of the fear of not having enough and bring in the trust and knowing that there is always enough.
I know that when we find all the abundance within we will have all the abundance outside as well.
This will be my first step.
