In gratitude to Deepak Chopra

Posted on 2:34 AM by Unknown

I love Deepak Chopra. He always seems to know when I need a reminder of the simplicities of life. The very ones that I make so complicated. And he has not failed me this time either. Chopra has come out with his free 21 day meditation that started on November 5.
The theme for this challenge is Creating Abundance. A very timely theme because of all the sense of loss, scarcity and abandonment happening in our world right now. We have a global economy struggling. Putting a sense of financial strain at the forefront of everyone’s minds. A sense of lack creating  a strong sense of pestilence and fear.
We had a super storm devastate the Northeast of the United States particularly New York and New Jersey and the Caribbean. We have many people in those place who at first were grateful their lives were spared who are now faced with the steep climb of rebuilding their lives. Creating a sense of scarcity in their mind. Leaving them to question why?
We have a United States presidential election as well as the possibility of a Bermuda government election going on that is bringing to the forefront all that is negative with the hopes of wooing the undecided to the Promised Land by painting a bleak picture of what has been. Playing on people’s sense of fear. Rather than emphasizing all that has gone right and can go right to ignite people’s passions and sense of possibility.
We have people around the world that are exploiting people’s fears. So for Chopra to come out with his challenge at a time like this is much needed. I am so grateful for his reminder that, “I create my source of abundance from an infinite source.”  In other words, each one of us has a source of abundance because we are all from the same infinite source. Some of us recognize this more than others and in doing so recognize that no matter how bad the situation may appear for us, the source of abundance is always available to us if we believe we are entitled to it.
According to Chopra, “All material creation, everything we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell is made from the same stuff and comes from the same source. This source is the entire Universe.  The Unified Field. …The key to living an abundant life is to embrace the idea that abundance comes from this unified field. Within it lies the power of infinite creativity.”
True abundance begins with a thought followed by an intention. It’s up to me, to all of us, to believe in infinite possibility. To accept it as our divine right. To invite unlimited abundance into our lives requires only awareness, intention and silence. The only thing that stops us from achieving the abundance that is meant for us, is us. Is our desire to hold onto the negative rather than the positive. To allow fear to take us down. Rather than hope lifting us up. To become lost in the darkness rather than seeking the light. We are the only ones who can place limitations on ourselves.
In order to shift the consciousness of our world it begins with each one of us shifting our consciousness and accepting we can create our personal abundance from the infinite source.  And by taking part in this meditation, I recognize it is the infinite source of possibility that has brought Chopra into my life at this time because I asked for guidance and I was answered. Affirming to me the source is always there when I am ready because I am a part of it. As are you. As are we all. The infinite source is always ready and waiting for us to tap into it. To answer our call. And I am grateful for the awareness and power of its existence. And I am grateful that I asked and was answered. Namaste.
