I’m a sucker for happy endings, and even more so when they involve animals. :-)

Giving and Law of Attraction

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’ve written before about the power of giving and the universe returning much more back to you. It’s done amazing things in my own life, both financially and in terms of feeling great! ;-)

Giving works on a few levels:

1) You are affirming to the universe that you have more than enough, so the automatic response of the Law of Attraction is to shift your circumstances so that you DO have more than enough. Sometimes in very creative ways!

2) It helps build up your “faith muscles.” When you’re struggling with a strong lack mentality, it’s hard to give. You start feeling all these little nagging worries, like “what if I can’t pay the bills because I made this donation?” or “What if my bonus doesn’t come through - then I’m screwed!” But if you can purposely shift your focus away from these fears and keep affirming that the universe always provides, everything works out - simply because you did shift your focus.

3) Giving is really just an exchange of ENERGY. Money is energy. Love is energy. Happiness is energy. Joy is energy. And energy must FLOW. It can’t be bottled and kept on a shelf. It can’t be gripped fearfully. The more you let it flow out, the more you’re allowing it to flow back IN.

If you receive Notes from the Universe, you probably received a notice about this yourself, but if you didn’t, Mike Dooley has started a new monthly project, Gifts from the Universe. Each month a new cause or charity will be featured, and you can make a donation - as little as $1, or more.

This month’s project is Operation Smile, which treats children born with facial deformities like cleft palates and more. I can’t think of a more worthwhile place to send some of your abundant energy. Please consider sending as much as you can - maybe even a smidge MORE than you think you can. As you give, imagine the brand new radiant smiles of the children you have blessed. :-)

Then affirm with absolute faith that the universe will return your gift to you in a multitude of ways, multiplied ten times over. It must, because you want to be sure you can donate even more to next month’s project, right? :-)

Visit Gifts from the Universe now.

EDIT: LOL! Right after I posted this message, I continued reading my email and this happened to be today’s Insight of the Day: “The Universe wants to give to you. The moment you begin to change your vibration to one of abundance, it will start sending you people, situations, and opportunities that reflect your inner state.” - Peggy McColl, Author of ‘21 Distinctions of Wealth’

Give to Receive!

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

One good way to use the Law of Attraction to bring more money into your life is by making a regular habit to give to others. You can certainly donate money to worthwhile charities, but also think about creative ways to contribute to society as a whole. Whether you’re helping an elderly neighbor with strenuous tasks or volunteering as a mentor for children, you are putting out positive vibrations that will be mirrored in your own life.

There are three important considerations to keep in mind if you want to create a natural flow of abundance through generosity:

- Give only what you can afford to give. Many people make the mistake of thinking that by giving more they’ll receive more back, but such a tactic rarely works. Going on a “giving binge” will deplete your own existing resources and set you up for feelings of anxiety and fear if you don’t see a return right away. You then reverse any positive trends you started by giving! Instead of giving more than you have try expanding your perception of how much is needed to make a positive contribution. If you can only afford to give one dollar, or 30 minutes of your time every week, then do that. Imagine the ways your contributions are helping others, and allow yourself to feel good about it. Affirm that when you have more you will definitely give more.

- Be discerning about when and what you give. As important as many causes are, there are far too many for you to be able to help all of them. Instead, make a list of a few that are very important to you. Or create a longer list and rotate them every so often. Even better, ask the universe to guide you to opportunities to help where it is most needed. When you feel a strong inner urge to help a particular person, family or organization – listen to that urge! Your intuition will not steer you wrong, and you may end up discovering a great opportunity to serve. Giving in this way can be immensely more powerful than taking a random approach.

- Let go of ALL thoughts about receiving compensation. Doing something with an expectation of what you’ll receive in return will not usually work the way you intend. Instead, make a strong intention to give to others simply because it feels wonderful to do so. Let each activity be its own reward by choosing to focus ONLY on what you can do for others. The more you can adopt a completely selfless mind-set when giving to others, the more surprising and unexpected – and powerful – your results will be when you do receive something back from the universe.

Whatever you do, don’t worry about how long it might take to start seeing a return, and release any expectations of how a return comes to you. Just because you give money doesn’t mean you will receive money back. Be open to all kinds of blessings, even those that might show up in disguises.
