Can we all find Abundance?

Can we all find Abundance?

By Lee-Anne Peters

I strongly believe we can all find and live abundantly. The problem that many may have is that they think doubtfully and unrealistically about what abundance is! What abundance means will be different to everyone, so let’s explore it:

- Make a list of what Abundance means for you.

For me abundance comes in many forms – as gifts, opportunities, money, good health and experiencing a general joy for life!

GIFTS: bargains, sales, gifts and discounts can help us greatly financially. Look around for these bargains and notice how much you save. Be grateful for the gifts others offer you.

OPPORTUNITIES: when you notice the opportunities rather than the struggles in your daily life, it can bring many more opportunities forth.

MONEY: sometimes people block themselves here. Believing that they are poor, have no opportunities, no money etc… what everyone requires financially will vary and it will be something personal for you. Ensure your finances EMPOWER you - if they dis-empower you then perhaps look at taking steps to help you shift into feeling empowered. 
Be empowered by Abundance!
 “How can you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you wish to be?” Lee-Anne Peters

GOOD HEALTH: depending on your general health and lifestyle look at listening to your body and doing what you can to help in this area. If you deal with daily pain then perhaps see if some days you can do something crafty, step outside or do something gentle that you can accomplish for yourself – something small is perfect.

JOY: with pressures released, challenges turned into opportunities, lack turned into a prompting of change, practicing the attitude of gratitude etc this in turn brings more general joy into your life – something that IS attainable if you are willing to feel it, notice it and experience it.

If it’s important to you that you enjoy life more, or to live more abundantly, it may be worth exploring these things for yourself. How you find it will depend on your values, your past experiences, your lifestyle, personality etc… do your best not to compare yourself to others or to judge others ways – as this is very individual. 
Bring your dreams closer, bring abundance closer into your experience by taking steps to LIVE IT!

If you struggle to LIVE IT, then look at how you THINK about it – because your thoughts, beliefs and fears will likely be your biggest hurdle. Not your location, your situation, your body, your bank account – you can make the most out of what you have if you wish to. If you can honestly look at your way of thinking and shift it, and then adjust it some more – this is HOW you will start seeing a positive difference in your life.
If I can go from bankruptcy to living abundantly (in my terms and values) - than I am confident that you can too!

My healing journey with Cicada!



My healing journey with Cicada!
By Lee-Anne Peters
I never knew what a Cicada was or even acknowledged it – basically for my whole life I knew not of this interesting insect. However in December 2013 I rendezvoused with Cidada sign after sign in a short period – this led to further investigation which opened up an interesting journey for me.
Image source: http://www.anhs.com.au/cicada.htm
At the time I was struggling to come to term with a big dream I had that didn’t manifest. So I felt bitter and it was a challenge to find peace for myself. I knew underneath the emotion that all was how it needed to be, but at the time my feeling didn’t match that knowing. So I knew I had some healing, shedding and release work to do for myself.
I marveled at the Cicada - living for years underground as a blind nymph - living on the tree root sap. Then at the guidance of its instincts it journeyed up from underground to find the best place to harden it's shell and transform. Then it cracks out of it's shell (and leave's it behind), while it emerges with wings and vision. Then it calls - calling to it's mate.

Cicada Totem...

The Cicada is a symbol of rebirth and longevity. People with this totem are strong communicators and often find rewarding opportunities as the result of patience and persistence. Their callings sometimes come later in life after a period of seclusion. Cicada teaches communication through music - it's song is easily recognizable and noticed by others. Cicada also speaks of the ability to "shed one's skin" and emerge as something new and different in life. Coming out of your shell and expressing yourself authentically are themes of this totem.

Personal Reflection...

Cicada remains underground for much of its life before emerging. When cicada appears to you it speaks of a need to come out from hiding, to break free of what restricts you. Cicada loses its shell and symbolizes our ability to come out from the shadows and let our inner being break free from oppression. Cicada has a distinctive sound all its own - use cicada's wisdom to inspire you to share your own voice.

My wild finger painting of the Cicada journey - as it felt right
for me at the time of my healing journey.

I learned such wonderful wisdoms from Cicada and allowed their chorus (throughout the summer) to envelop me and help carry away my emotional pain. I envisioned myself, as if I was the Cicada on my blind journey up the tree trunk to the position where I prepared to transform – breaking out of the shell and into a winged, free and vocal Cicada. Allowing my own voice to be heard. 
Do you have any Cicada experiences?
