Your Profitable Jewelry Business:
Becoming Part of the Flow of Abundance, Prosperity, and Gratitude
by Rena Klingenberg
Thanks to my fantastic guest authors, I've given you a lot of good stuff to read in the links above - so I'll keep this section short today.
I wish I could remember where I first heard of this gratitude meditation.
It's a simple but very effective way to connect yourself with the universal flow of abundance and prosperity:
Simply relax in a quiet place, close your eyes, and let your mind be still.
With your palms and face turned upward to the sky, offer sincere thanks to God / the Universe / your Deity (whatever you personally believe in) - saying either silently or out loud:
"Thank you so much for flowing all good things to me - and through me to others."
Then pause to feel the flow of blessings, energy, light, love, or whatever you perceive. Feel it flowing endlessly into your hands and body, passing through you to whatever is around you.
Stay in this state as long as it feels right to you, and then open your eyes.
I did this gratitude meditation earlier this week - and the flow of goodness, abundance, blessings, connections, things falling into place for me, and opportunities to easily do things to help others has been utterly incredible and unstoppable for me this week.
Try it for yourself!
