Earlier in the year I
created a vision board for myself displaying all the ways I wanted
prosperity to flow into my life. As I look at it every morning I am
in awe at how everything I have been asking for is consistently
coming to me in unexpected ways. Needless to say prosperity has been
resting cozily upon my heart lately. It's propelled a journey of
constantly redefining what prosperity means for me.
Do
I really deserve this?
There have been countless
times where I have asked the Universe for a specific thing to
manifest in my life. However, I have always had the courage to ask
for it, but not to fully accept it as my own, until recently. Many
of the reasons why I chose to not accept these gifts was from
subconscious learned patterns and not taking ownership of the
Divinity within. In the end I was left with feelings of unworthiness,
guilt, and shame to receive such gifts.
I have often pushed
away the very thing that my soul desired to come to me out of fear
of it being 'too close for comfort'. One may see this as quite a
silly and absurd thing to do, but I am sure it happens more times
than expected. In the last two years I have come to realize the
greatest gifts that we desire are in fact perfectly designed to push
us out of our comfort zones whether it be a new relationship, a
change in career, a move, or simply living your daily Truth more
authentically. In addition, all the old subconscious patterns are
being brought to the surface to be released. That's why I have found
it to be very important to bless myself during these uncomfortable
moments as patterns that no longer serve me are letting go.
Meanwhile, prosperity is rolling in to fill the void.
Transforming Intention
into Action
It's one thing to set an
intention for something you wish to receive, but it's a whole other
thing to put that intention into action. I used to feel that this
process was equivalent to working hard. I felt the need to work
endless hours physically and energetically to prove to myself, but
mostly prove to others, that I had paid my dues in deserving such
gifts. Although calling in prosperity isn't a passive movement at
all, this could potentially be why we partake in unconscious actions
of self sabotage. I'm learning about balancing my efforts to manifest
while trusting the Infinite to take care of the rest.

I've recently been
practicing the Neutral Mind Kriya for Guidance to explore these
subtle undertones of 'action' more deeply. This kriya was perfect in
helping me realize that when I decide to accept everything that is
already mine, my actions come from a place of neutrality instead of
the negative or positive mind. Yogi Bhajan stated, “ Saibhung-
self illumined, when you are a resource unto yourself, communicating
with your own Infinity- needing nothing. The ultimate posture is one
of prosperity. The ultimate posture is not of you fulfilling your own
requests. The ultimate posture is one asking for that which is yours”
(The Aquarian Teacher, p. 101).
The negative mind is present to protect us from harm but often
also prevents us from embracing the unknown due to past experience.
The positive mind always sees the positive aspect of any situation
while seeking out opportunities for experience. However, it can often
lead us to make compulsive decisions that may not benefit us. When I
make decisions from a place of non attachment, also known as the
neutral mind, then I can have clarity about what I specifically want
and what will benefit my Higher Self. It is in this place where I can
take action with a compassionate heart.
Command Myself to Keep Up
and Commit
Sometimes I wonder why
there isn't a magic genie that appears from a bottle and
instantaneously grants me the unrealized prosperity I am seeking.
This could be a sign that I need to look more deeply into my shadow
self and see what is preventing me from accepting it. Simply
recognizing the blockage with self compassion is usually the first
step in moving forward for me while maintaining a positive
projection. Often times, I have come across life events that have
seemed to serve more as a test to see if I have embraced the knowing
that I am really ready to accept what I want. Allowing the doubts that arise to pass without judgment is crucial. It's been quite helpful to sustain a
more neutral place of receiving prosperity by maintaining a
consistent daily practice, regular opportunities to express my
creativity (art, dance, music, etc), and being willing to ask for
help. Remember that everything that you want you already have. You
are asking for something that is already yours. It's only waiting to
be deposited into your bank account of Infinity.
