The breathing of abundance

Good morning. Well we're about to begin week two of Living a Wealthy Life and and begin to confront the shadows that any bright shining vision must cast, the shadows that will delude us into limited ways of being if we allow ourselves to become too fixated upon their apparent reality. We have an exciting week ahead confronting our issues around money and the value that we place upon it, the hold it has over us and the beliefs we have about it. We are going to consider our assets, our 'possessions', what we give value to and how we attribute that value.

Let me tell you about my morning so far. It's only 8.40am but it has already been a revelatory morning. I went into meditation this morning and began breathing and a very powerful visuaisation seemed to emerge as I was doing it. On the in-breath, it was if I was drawing upon the abundance source of life, the abundant source of joy, of health, of wealth and I began just breathing it in. On the outbreath, I was expressing that abundance in the world, allowing myself to simply be a conduit for that abundance. The in-spiration, the breathing in of abundance and the ex-spiration, the breathing out of abundance. The more I visualised this the more I felt like I could just be, and accept everything that was going on around me, a place of true peace, true acceptance and absolute trust. It was a very powerful experience and one I shall call upon each morning from now on.

Then I went out for my morning gratitude walk with the wind pouring and the wind howling. I thought about now going because of the weather but in fact it turned out to be the inspirational walk I've had since I';ve been been in Bristol. You see there was no-one else foolhardy enough to venture out in this weather. It was me and the elements. So I walked up to the Avon gorge overlooking the suspension bridge and I called out at the top of my voice everything I was grateful for. It was amazing. I felt like a 'mad' person (whatever that means) but it was the most liberating experience! Fantastic - I was filled up with gratitude and it was clear to me in that moment that miracles are on their way today and they are on their way this week, not just for me, but for those around me, and especially for those participating on this course. Let's do it!!

Love John x
