Have you tried using crystals to manifest prosperity?
The Metaphysics of Prosperity
Prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving, success, or good fortune.
Prosperity often encompasses wealth but, it is not just about money!
Prosperity encompasses those things which give us abundance, gratitude,
appreciation, peace, happiness and health.
Prosperity is your right and reward. You have it and should always recognize it.
Some important values about being prosperous include giving, sharing, accepting compliments and recognizing new beginnings.
10 Rules for Prosperity
1. Prosperity is in your mind’s eye. In other
words, it is a state of mind. Most importantly, prosperity is about the
emotional view of your life and how you feel about it. This is like a
seed that must be planted in order for it to grow.
A seed grows into a healthy plant when it is nurtured and cared for.
When it is abused, forgotten, neglected and not nourished it will never
grow to its full potential. First, you must plant the seed of prosperity
in your mind and then you must nourish this with positive thoughts,
aggressive action and keep it alive, always!
2. Energy follows thought. We create our own
reality. We attract those things in our lives (money, relationships,
employment) that we focus on. Focusing on having less and that is
exactly what you will experience. Focusing on having more and this is
what we create for ourselves. Program your thoughts to be positive and
this energy will follow through.
3. Give up the control. Stop trying to control
everything! If you do not realize that not all things are in your
control you will be wasting boundless energy worrying about those things
you have no control over. You can only do what you can do. A patient
once said to me We are not driving the bus. We are passengers on the
bus. Have a nice ride!
4. If you are already resisting this thought… you are not trusting of yourself or anyone around you. This includes the Universe! Resistance slows all things.
It is up to you to find the free flow in your life. If we can
surround ourselves, we can gain great insight, release great stress and
learn that vulnerability can be both enlightening and educating. It is
time to let go and learn these lessons.
5. Pay attention to what you DO have NOW. Just
wanting something isn’t enough, because we still continue to think about
what we don’t have. Everyone is brought into this world with great
gifts. Realizing what these are, can be found by appreciating what you
have right now! Pay attention.
6. Appreciate all your life’s abundance. You will realize just how much
Prosperity you do have. There is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is Ungrateful! Of course, it is human nature to want more, but not
at the expense of your own happiness. Some people are so caught up in
wanting more, they miss out on experiencing the current abundance they
have now. Only when this is gone, do they realize what they had…when it
is often too late.
7. Get proactive. Since our jobs are our source of
financial support, it is important to do your job well. It is even more
important to absolutely love what you do. If you do not, you will never
give the job the best you can give. If you do not absolutely love what
you do, quit! You must do what you love in your life, as we spend the
majority of our lives at work… it better be an inspiring combination of
pride, creativity, and life-altering greatness!
8. Find balance. The balance of work, play, family,
friends, and self are very important in achieving prosperity. They each
equal the way we subconsciously honor a prosperous life. The minute one
of these is out of balance, we begin a cascading effect of resentment,
jealously, and anger. Look at each one of these aspects. Are they
balanced? If not which one is overwhelming the other? Finding the
balance between them will give you a better outlook. Make a “balance
sheet” (see Gratitude Journal below).
9. Be open to prosperity. When nothing else seems
to be working, just simply try being open to endless possibilities
without expectation. The greater you expect things to be, the harder it
is to deal with things that do not go your way!
Having no expectations is one of the greatest lessons we can learn.
By allowing yourself to be open to ANYTHING that is new to you and
giving it a chance, you can find your life going in the direction of new
adventures and endless possibilities!
10. Our priorities in life. These are unique and
individual. They are the key to living a prosperous life; therefore, you
must start aligning your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, emotions, and
actions towards greater prosperity.
