This Week’s Power Thought: I have everything I need in life. My supply is limitless and I continually accept gifts from the universe.

Power Lesson: Every day, create a mental equivalent to manifest what you desire

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 – 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!

Always Struggling

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. I open my heart to a new level 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 and do not paddle against the current. My ride is joyful and easy and includes everything I desire.

Can’t Attract Money

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. I exhale

success and satisfaction with each breath.

Cheapness Is Virtuous

I am in tune with the rhythm 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.

Complaining About Money

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


3

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.

Don’t Deserve to Be Rich

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.

Economy Is in Shambles

Because we are all spirit, we are all part 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 abundant and prosperous equation.

Everything Is Too Expensive

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 things of worth.

This Week’s Soul Card is: Flow

Taking Spiritual Inventory: Living with Abundance

Analyze! 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 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?

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 am a spark of the Divine?

Is money the only tool to reach my potential?

Am I in a constant state of awareness of who I am, which is 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?

Affirm 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, 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.

Walk the Talk 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 and gratitude. Dedicate your walk to a certain area of your life – work,

family, your creative genius – and recognize your sacred path. With each series of steps, identify

with the unlimited abundance of the universe.

Share the Spirit: Writing My Dream 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 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?


6

My Manifestation Memory…. Next, write down a new dream you have, and the mental equivalent you need to make it

happen.

My Dream


7

My Mental Equivalent

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

believe your dream can come true.

Manifestation Exercise: Attraction and Abundance Acknowledgement through Song and Chanting 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 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, 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

Translation: Om and salutations to the creative abundance that is the very form of this

universe


8

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 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.

Consciously Create Your Day 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:

Can’t-Afford Mindset 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 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.

Money Never Comes Easily I am grateful for every gift in my life. 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.

Not Enough Money My prosperity is a reflection 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


9

increasing. I deserve to prosper. I release my old, limiting ideas about lack, because I no

longer believe in lack. When others have more money than I do, it takes nothing away from

me because there is enough for everyone.

The Empowerment Show! Abundance Class Notes Slide: Opening Screen with E‐Show Title Welcome to the e‐show! The Empowerment Show. Be Empowered! Students: Make sure you read the chapter on Abundance from:

“Let Your Goddess Grow! 7 Spiritual Lessons on Female Power and Positive Thinking”

And look over the chapter from “The Women’s Book of Empowerment” on Abundance. Housekeeping items:

Last week: The true self, or the authentic self, which is a deeply spiritual lesson that goes beyond any parameters that religion, dogma or philosophy may draw.

We’ve been talking all through this course about the power of your own thought process and outlook on life. You already know that a step toward personal change in our lives always begins with allowing the change and letting go of the past. Make space! All is well, and positive. And if we are to create a prosperous experience for us, we first and foremost, need to embrace this idea.

Slide: Abundance: I have everything I need in life. My supply is limitless and I continually accept gifts from the universe.

Today’s spiritual lesson: Everything manifest is created by thought. What that means is that what we see, and all that our experience entails, we have the power to do something about it.

How do we open up to abundance?

Slide: The Big Three: What’s holding us back? There are blockages to positive thinking and our abundance

Fear and Self Doubt: We don’t believe we are unlimited. We are infinite and the universal mind is endless.

Expectation: You have to expect results from your thinking. Doing the work but not expecting does not work! Have good expectations and welcabundance. Have the mindset of “deserving.”

Old Programming: Let go of the past. Forgiveness essential. Let go of old thinking that does not serve you well.

If you want to manifest things, you have to be congruent with the energy of the thing that you want! Like attracts like!

Slide: Limitation is a human idea, not a divine one! You are perfect, unlimited substance. You can’t be anything else! Limiting beliefs block

Remember our affirmations that help reprogram the brain. Unseat old negative assumptions and recognize when you are in the habit of spiraling down into the pits

Choose to live in a state of conscious awareness: Align yourself to your unlimited source. Be conscious of your own thought process.

Slide: The Mind, Brain and Body. Your state of mind affects your body and the way you perceive reality!

Movie: What the Bleep do we Know? Watch it! This was a blending of ideas about science, physiology, mysticism, religion and common sense. It talked about the body and the brain and what happens chemically with certain kinds of thinking.


11

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 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.

Slide: Ernest Homes slide: Limitation and poverty are not things, but they are the results of restricted ways of thinking.

Limitation and poverty are not things, but they are the results of restricted ways of thinking. Honor the belief that you are limited and you will see it. Honor the belief that you are a complete and perfect rendition of the Spirit of God of within, and your life will contain a pattern of joy and Divine Order.

Ernest Holmes was a new thought unity minister and wrote The Science of the Mind. He talked a lot about living in a state of conscious awareness. He said, when discussing the “I AM” that the individual “I” is part 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 affirmation. Total identity with the infinite.

Identify with limitlessness all the time

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 telling you cannot be abundant, successful, 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, 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” which can be a notebook simply dedicated to your commitment to remind your self of the unlimited substance that is YOU.

Affirmation of the Unlimited Woman

I am powerful and able. I am successful. I am whole and complete. The universe supports me. My body is filled with energy and vitality. I am light. I am buoyant. Natural well being flows through me. All I desire is in reach. I am powerful, attractive, and wealthy. Abundance is my birthright. This I manifest now.

I forgive myself. Today, I begin life anew. Joy and love flow from me as from a fountain. Love is in my heart as I meet each situation, each person. I move out into the world with love. I can succeed with love and I am discovering this now.

I am persistent. I have tenacity and the will to succeed supports me totally. I persist and I succeed. Barriers become my education. I experience obstacles as opportunities which lie on my path to success.

I am confident. The power of the universe manifests through me now. My actions are decisive. I walk in power and affirmation of life.

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:


20

“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 will you mentally create this week?

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