Wealth, Abundance and Life’s Riches

Here are a string of thoughts on abundance, wealth and living richly...

I adore Hindi moves, especially some of the new releases. In every movie there is music and dancing. Mesmerizing women with round curves, beautiful bellies (no hard six-packs, that’s for sure) and bodies draped in rich textures and colors. Marvelous. I’m transported to a place where beauty and wealth is measured in the vibrations of all the senses.



Spring morning nature walk. Gratitude for spring. Tiny yellow flowers everywhere. My heart feels rich as tread through infinite blades of brilliant green grass.

Having money does not equal living richly.

I bought a huge shiny plastic pink ring on Haight St in San Francisco. It cost $1.25 and it was part of my Halloween costume. Halloween is long gone now, and I find myself wearing whenever I want to feel shiny. People light up when they see it.

Anytime I feel stuck in survival mode, I go to the farmers market and buy fresh flowers, fruit and something scrumptious like cheese.

What do you do to feel abundance and/or live richly?

Yogaglamgirl Shares Health Hints for the New Year

Found a great post from Wisdom of Healing that gives tips and advice for women (though looks like many of these really apply to men as well). Check out: Healthy Women at Every Age

You might also want to spend some time clearing the way for a healthy, happy and prosperous new year. Here is some feng shui advice for Your New Years Resolutions

The most important thing (that I keep telling myself)...is to dedicate 30 minutes a day on SELF. For me, this is when my daily practices of yoga, feldenkrais, journaling, nature walks, meditation, and flower arrangment happen.
What are your daily practices and how do you intend to stay committed to them in 2007?

Yogaglamgirl How Intentions Manifest Synchronisity

I am intensely curious about the power of intentions and the synchronisity of life.  Synchronisity happens when you are literally "in-sync" with the flow of the universe.  An example of this happened to me while travelling in Mendocino.  We found some beautiful ceramic pieces in a store.  We really liked the pieces this particular artist created.  Later in the afternoon we went to open studio.  There are hundreds of artists in Mendocino...and we did not know exactly which studio we were going to.  However, when we arrived, it was the exact same artist (Cliff Glover) who created the pieces we loved from that store.  It is not mere coincidence when things like this happen...it is syncronisity.  You have a thought or you seek something (intention), and it will appears in some form in your life. 

The first time I learned about the power of intention was while listening to James Redfield in his book, The Secret of Shambala.  (I highly recommend this book, as well as The Celestine Prophesy if you haven't read them already.)  Redfield describes intention as silent prayer.  Fear attracts situations that you are afraid of.  Enthusiasm and positive intention attracts positive experiences. 

Steve Pavlina talks more about the power of intention in his post: How Intentions Manifest.  Here he talks about something called "Alpha Reflection":

Usually within 24-72 hours of putting out a new intention, I experience the alpha reflection.  I receive validation that the intention has taken hold.  Normally this takes the form of a very noticeable synchronicity.  Sometimes the synchronicity is part of manifesting the results; other times it just seems to be an acknowledgement that the intention was received...Read More

Might be time to start trusting the universe, and let good things happen! :)

Yogaglamgirl listens to Jack Canfield~becoming a MASTER

I always have 30 minutes to myself as I drive to work and I feel like a big success when I use it constructively.  Some of the constructive things I do: meditate, practice being a better driver (my Dad will laugh at that one), send loving or healing thoughts to the people in my life, sing, dance, laugh (the laughing happens when someone else sees me jammin in the car)...and focus on abundance in my life (thank you Louise Hay).  I've also discovered that I can listen to audio books while I drive, and I love listening to ones that get me motived.  So this post is dedicated to Jack Canfield, the speaker I liked best from my latest audio book called Masters Audio Collection. 

Jack explains the steps a person should take to become a master at anything in life.  Here are some of his helpful tips:

1) Have a goal that you are dedicated to.   For me, that goal is to become an instrument of health and healing, sharing my knowledge and learnings as I go...

2) Spend extra time each day on that goal.  Mr. Canfield talks about cutting out one hour of TV watching each day and using that time to read a book and learn more about his own field of mastery.

3) Create or join a mastermind group. Use a group of people and meet with them regularly to hold yourself accountable for your goals.  This mastermind idea comes from Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich. 

4) Have a coach. Coaches can help you recognize patterns in your life that you may not see on your own.  They provide support and an unbiased view to hold you to your goals.

5) Make a list of all your relationships.  Note next to each person whether they are nurturing "N" or toxic "T".  Remove the toxic relationships from your life.  (this is a tough one, but important)

Mr. Canfield suggests an exercise from Dr. Nathaniel Branden--a pioneer in the field of psychology and self esteem~"if I had 20% more time each day I would...."  and what would you do to become more of a master....
ps...if you want to read one of Dr. Branden's books, I would recommend his 6 Pillars of Self Esteem. 
Jack Canfield is a great speaker and story teller, I highly recommend you get this cd to hear him as well as the other Masters who share their insight. 

Well, hope you all feel motivated now, I'm looking for folks to become part of my mastermind group...if you're interested lemme know.  :) 

Yogaglamgirl Recommendation for Feng Shui Book

Practical Feng Shui, by Simon Brown is an excellent book for detailed solutions and remedies to feng shui problems. 

I refer to it again and again.  If you are new to Feng Shui and interested in learning about it, I suggest that you try several books though.  Take a look at a few and go with what makes most sense to you.  Start simple and make just a few changes to your surroundings and see how it feels.  You can start just by cleaning out your closet--literally clean out the clutter in your life to allow for new experience new joy to come in. 
For those of you who already know quite a bit about Feng Shui, Brown uses the Compass Method and Nine Ki astrology as the primary systems for this book. 

Yogaglamgirl: Louise Hay's book, Receiving Prosperity

I recently purchased Louise Hay's audio CD called Receiving Prosperity: How to Attract Wealth, Success, and Love into Your Life. 

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to change their financial success in life.  Louise talks about how the power of your intentions can bring about change--and cultivate an abundance of love, supportive relationships and money.  She explains that the universe is rich and full and there is always enough.  We must release the negative perceptions we might have like: I don't deserve, I'm afraid of money, I will never have enough....and replace those thoughts with ones like: "My income is constantly increasing" (my new mantra!).
