One of the downsides to our shadow is that it can keep us from experiencing true abundance, whether it is financial abundance, or an abundance of love and joy in our intimate life.
Abundance is an internal energetic state. Or, to go even deeper:
You ARE abundance. Abundance is your birthright.
The reason why most people do not feel this way is because our shadow is all about scarcity, control, trying to play safe by holding on to things out of fear of loss.
Which means that shadow work is inevitable if we want to remember and embody our innate sense of abundance and wholeness.
Your shadow tells you: I need x,y,z, in order to be worthy of…
An example with money: You believe you need to make x number each month to be fulfilled. Now you try to control the income of money, you worry intensely, and you operate from a place of fear and scarcity.
An example in a relationship: Your shadow tells you that you are not worthy of deep love, therefore you pick fights, create disconnect in the relationship, only to experience a reality where your shadow says: ‘See? I told you!’
The great paradox is that it is not about the WHAT. It is about the WHERE your energy is coming from. How are we showing up? If we show up from a place of internal wholeness then we operate at a much higher energetic level, doors naturally open and we have access to seemingly infinite possibilities.
Yet, if we are identified with our shadow it seems no doors are open, and everything closes in on us.
What is the difference? Your ENERGY. Or, in more practical words: Your internal energetic state.
If you want to go from scarcity to an internal state of abundance you need to shift your energy. Once you shift your energy you operate from a place of power, from your center, can you become a limitless creator. Operating out of your shadow only limits you.
From that state you naturally create deeper intimacy and connection in a relationship, it is inevitable, it is infectious.
From that state you naturally attract more money into your life. Hint: Don’t try to control the timeline. It doesn’t mean it will happen tomorrow (but it just might!)
The idea is to let go of the WHAT, the HOW, and to keep remembering your internal abundance and wholeness. The more rooted you become in this energetic state, the more powerful you become as a creator, the deeper your work, your words and your energy becomes.
Reflection: I invite you to reflect on the following question today or this weekend: How can I feel MORE abundant right now? Hint: Focus on simple things such as taking a deep breath and feeling your beating heart, soaking in the nature around you, even if it is just a flower cracking through the pavement, whatever it is, it is an expression of abundance if you choose to give it that meaning.
