I have a vivid memory as an “older” twenty-year-old of sitting in my car with a very specific unpaid bill. I was feeling defeated and hopeless. I had very limited funds to pay this bill. It was my car insurance. I created a whole scenario of what could go wrong if it remained unpaid.

Then something shifted deep within me. Sitting right there in the front seat of the car in front of the public library. This was long before any “laws of the universe” were apparent to me…particularly the Law of Attraction. I had no knowledge that there was such a thing. The life I lived was very tangible and lack mindset driven. The drama I had created meant that I would lose my insurance. I would get pulled over. I would receive a ticket, which would add another layer of debt.

But this shift within changed everything. Isn’t it interesting how vivid this memory is?! Particularly the shift. I have lived in this energy ever since. The shift I experienced began as a very tangible idea. I suddenly realized that my thoughts were creating my reality. My thoughts of “not a penny to pay with” changed dramatically to “there are pennies everywhere. I just don’t yet see it in this moment.”

Do you see what happened? I had my very own “aha” moment of realizing an abundance mindset. In later years, I would be introduced to The Law of Attraction teachings and knew we were old friends.

The use of affirmations is a powerful tool here. It is much more than verbalizing a statement and then sitting back to see what will happen. Here is how I affirm. 1. I choose my statement and word it positively. 2. I do a meditation that connects me to earth energy and my higher self energy. 3. I state my affirmation in as many positive ways as I can think of. Over and over. This rises my own vibration. I feel the affirmation. I visualize the manifestation not in a “future” sense but in the here and now. 4. I detach from an outcome. I understand that my limited view, limits the possibilities. (Note the language use of “pennies” in my twenty-year-old self). I have such a powerful transcended team that I trust, and I simply turn it over.

BE with me in abundance. We have so much to be grateful for. My sister ends her yoga class with this statement…” and remember how incredibly, incredibly blessed we are.”  Yes! When your thinking mind forgets this, come back to my manifestation steps. Living in an abundance mindset is freeing, loving to yourself and others, and high vibe. High vibe with me!
