In accordance with the principles upon which our universe is set, to experience a life of abundance we must have a proper mindset to support and attract it.
So how may we ensure we develop the proper thought structure to nurture a life of abundance?
First and foremost you must define what a life of abundance specifically means for you. This may sound like an obvious thing however few ever take the time to write out in detail exactly what abundance represents for them. You cannot develop a thought process around something unless you know what the something is. The clearer and more detailed the better - clarity with purpose.
Now that you have defined what an abundant life means for you, it is necessary to begin the process of identifying any limiting thoughts you may have in regard to your abundant life. Some will be immediately identifiable. Others, those blueprints which are concealed deep within the subconscience, will take more effort to reveal. Most of these are ideas, (blueprints), you adopted as true from authority figures in your life when you were young. These well meaning people, parents, teachers, etc, passed on their beliefs to you, both abundant and limiting. As a child you did not question. The result being many of these thoughts became habits well ingrained in your subconscious mind. They are still driving the results you are experiencing today. Many still serve you well - others do not. It is these others you need to replace with new blueprints which support the abundant life you wish to realize. It is through daily introspection and communion with spirit through meditation these things will be presented to you in their time. When they are, thank them for their service in the past. Let them know they are loved however you do not take ownership of them realizing they were someone else's idea which does not support your worthy ideals and free them from your mind.
Equally important is the forgiveness of those who introduced those limiting thoughts. Realize they were well intentioned passing on to you what they truly believed was true. Appreciate their efforts and be grateful for these people. Never judge nor condemn. This is not your purpose.
In developing your new blueprints supporting your abundant life it is important to develop new thought patterns promoting your definition of abundance. Developing these thought patterns is essential - more so than identifying limiting beliefs - in that these new thought patterns, once accepted, will absorb and dissipate many of the limiting beliefs whether identified or not. The most effective way to develop these thought patterns is through the use of an effective statement of intention reinforced with daily action steps, positive affirmations, and afformations. Each of these things must resonate well with you, being a little outside the box, however believable.
Also essential in attaining your life of abundance is a continual attitude of gratitude. Refuse to see lack or limitation in anything. Focus only on the abundance of things - the beauty in things. Realize there is always a positive aspect to every circumstance. Turn your thoughts toward finding it. Refuse to engage in conversation and thoughts of anger, hate, envy, and the like.
Lastly I will discuss self-talk. Many do not realize the importance the role of how you talk to yourself, those discussions you have with yourself in your mind, affects your physical experience. It is imperative you always talk to yourself in an honest and uplifting way. Honest positive self-talk goes a long way in keeping the channels of all that is good coming to you. Spend time each day investigating your self-talk. Is it serving you well, moving you forward? What tools might you put in place to ensure it does?
If you begin to implement some of these ideas today, even in a small way, you will begin to see changes in short order. Build on these changes. As your confidence grows you will attract and implement more positive thoughts adding to the process of continually moving toward your life of abundance as you have defined it.
You cannot fail.
You will become, you must become
Exactly what you think about

The True Measure of Forgiveness
The true measure of forgiveness is that it brings healing to yourself and your brother/sister. The true test is to attest that their sins have no effect on you to demonstrate they are not real. How else could you both be guiltless? How else could your innocence be justified?
Sins are beyond forgiveness because they entail effects which cannot be undone nor overlooked entirely. There undoing shows they were merely errors. Let yourself and your brother/sister be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation and healing to you both.
Forgiveness leads to healing of the mind and therefore the body for the body is the servant of the mind. Forgiveness bestows an equal gift of full deliverance for both.
Forgiveness does not come from pity but from compassion and love. Through love all pain and suffering is proven to be but vain imagining, a foolish wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your brother/sister as guiltless - and what you wish is given you.
What you free in your brother/sister you free in yourself releasing the burden of guilt bringing healing and health to both.
Correction is not your function. Through correction you lose forgiveness. Correction belongs to the One Who knows only fairness and not guilt. However it is through forgiveness correction is obtained - never accusation.

Importance of a Clean Environment
The subconscious mind knows exactly the body chemistry needed to heal any ailment. We, however, are responsible for providing the proper environment within for It to accomplish this.
It is through introspection, developing the persistence of proper thought, nutrition, and exercise selection we provide this environment.

Consider This
We are not the thinker. We are the channels through which thoughts are manifest in the physical world. Evidence of this is seen in our ability to accept or reject any thought we attract to us. By the thoughts we choose to accept, impressing them upon Universal Intelligence, we create our physical experience.
Once we accept and understand this we are able to switch to becoming the observer of thoughts giving us power over them. There is a realization that there is a Life Power beyond thought from which all things come and thought is but a microbial part of this Power. It opens to us a world of opportunity by which we are able to select only those thoughts which support the physical experience we wish to manifest for the expansion and betterment of all.
It is important to understand this Life Power is impersonal and impartial. It will deliver whatever thought patterns we impress upon it whether they be positive or negative. We must select and guard our thoughts carefully. Any contrary thoughts to our worthy ideals accepted, being absorbed into the subconscious, will hinder progress and have potential to severely retard our results.
Here is a worthwhile exercise you may want to adopt. Although it sounds as if it may take a long time to execute it really only takes a few seconds or less.
Visualize in your mind an empty room. Along one wall are any number of chairs, each one representing a thought you have surrounding you worthy ideal. Select each thought individually. Ask each one to stand up in turn and answer this one question.
"How will you move me forward? "
By the process of elimination select only the thought which best supports your worthy ideal. Thank the other thoughts and dismiss them.
Thoughts Are Things
I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They're endowed with bodies and breath and wings;
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth's remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or it's woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet, so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose, then, thy destiny and wait.
For love brings love and hate brings hate.

Discerning Your Transcending Path
The transcending path always lies within the situation and is to be realized through spiritual introspection in communion with God. The answers you seek do not come through wrestling with circumstance, force, or struggle. These things find their life in the root of fear and most assuredly create restrictions, slowing all that is good from coming to you.
Your pathway is revealed through cooperation with the principles of the universe. The way comes through the realization that your true personality is of Spirit - love, peace, joy, beauty and abundance of life. Here there is no struggle, only clear open channels through which to receive solutions. Here is where you must retreat in silent communion with the All Knowing, conveying your desires of individual spirit personality for the good of all with praise and gratitude.
"The stream of conditioned life flows out from the Center of Unconditioned Life, and therefore this intrinsic principle of worship has in it the promise both of the life that now is and of that which is to come."
Thomas Troward
I rest in God today, and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty.
A Course in Miracles
By the elevation of your thoughts surrounding your desire to the spiritual plane, with praise and thanksgiving, you develop the vibratory frequency that begins the motion of that which you desire, toward you.
This is not to say we pay no mind to our present physical experience. Dr. Maxwell Maltz gives us; "the golfer must be aware of the sand traps, water hazards and out of bounds however his focus must remain on the fairways and greens where he wants to go. "
It is important you not introduce too many specifics thereby placing restrictions on all that is possible coming into your experience. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. These are the promises of The Almighty. It is you who determines what you shall find as the door is opened unto you.
It is important you seek what is best for all - what will bring love, joy, peace , and abundance of life for all in every circumstance. These things you cannot always know. Faith with praise and gratitude will reveal the way which is best for you to follow.

Return to Love
Fear in the heart gives rise to all discordant vibrations which are the root of all physical ills and calamities in our physical experience.
Love in the heart can only give rise to the vibrations of peace, joy, and abundance of life leading to health and perfect happiness.
Fear is simply the inversion of Love. In Truth fear does not exist. Fear is the fabrication we have imagined on another plane, thinking we could do better apart from Love.
It is through our return to Love - that which we truly are - all things become possible as the chains of bondage melt away and the restrictions we have put in place, closing off the channels of all that is good and freely available to us, are liberated.

Diamonds Lay Within
The root of all negative emotion, be it anger, jealousy, frustration, self-consciousness, is fear. As it is also with negative results attracted through fear.
Much of this has been carried forward from past experience which ego has attached itself to. Old blueprints which have never served us well or no longer serve but have become limiting and destructive.
What are you fearing today?
What tools have you in place to dissolve these fears releasing them over the next while?
Acknowledge, love and forgive them as they become absorbed into the positive desires you are moving toward.
The solution is always within the challenge - the answer is found through introspection and communion with Spirit. Here in lies all the direction you are seeking. Take time each day to go there. The solution you seek will come.
Take courage my friend, for your strength is within. Stay the course. Through discipline of the will your path shall be made clear.
How sure is your pace
How fast can you run
When you're continually focused
On what's said and done
There's a diamond in every circumstance
It's found in the Heart
Each and every moment
Is a brand new start
ALWAYS FORWARD

Importance of Breath and the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is the sewer system for the body. Lymph vessels form a drainage system throughout the body. Lymphatic fluid carries away the detritus of the immune system, including dead white blood cells, unused plasma protein and toxins. Unlike the circulatory system the lymphatic system does not have a built in pump. It relies on breathing and bodily movement to move all waste fluid out of the body. If the lymphatic system is sluggish due to shallow breathing and an inactive lifestyle the body cannot detoxify efficiently creating a breeding ground for disease of all kinds - a veritable cesspool of waste.
The practice of deep breathing will improve lymph system cleansing. The expansion and contraction of the diaphragm acts as a pump for the lymph system and massages internal organs promoting regularity.

Perfect Happiness.
God's will, (Power of Intention, Creative Intelligence), for each one is perfect happiness. We are created in Love. Therefore our natural state is perfect happiness experiencing abundance of life. However each one, as an individual personality of Spirit, is responsible for defining what perfect happiness is for them.
To realize perfect happiness you must develop clarity with purpose through Self-contemplation of Spirit as to what perfect happiness is for you. Only in this way are you able to manifest your experience of perfect happiness to your physical environment from Creative Intelligence.
It is only important you know what perfect happiness represents for you as an individual personality in our physical experience and why you want this perfect happiness. The how shall be revealed. An awareness must be developed to recognize opportunity as it is presented to you and action must follow or the whole exercise just becomes wishful thinking.
You may define your perfect happiness as such;
Perfect happiness for me is the ability to spend more quality time with family and friends.
This is a good representation of what happiness is for you however does not address the question of why.
This would be better written as;
Perfect happiness for me is spending less time at work in order to spend more quality time with family and friends bringing more joy to all.
This statement answers the what, the why, and raises the quality of life for all involved.
Another example, and I'll take this one a step further, might be;
Perfect happiness for me is being financially secure able to pay all bills on time and in full with plenty left over to assist others, invest, and enjoy life.
Perfect happiness for me is the ability to help others realize a higher quality of life thereby elevating the experience for all involved.
The idea here is defining exactly what perfect happiness is for you in all arenas of life and why you desire it. These statements now become the center of all your thoughts. You cannot focus on what is or has been and expect different results from your current perception of things. You must cocoon your new desire with supporting thoughts throughout each day and carry them into your sleep. One key element I have not discussed here is that your statements must feel good, resonate well with you, and be believable for your subjective mind to accept them. I shall discuss this in more detail at another time.
For now it is enough for you to formulate a few feel good statements pertaining to what perfect happiness for you means and why you want perfect happiness to be your experience.
