My Law of Attraction Tool Kit – #4 Practice for Soothing Panic
By Sonia Miller | February 8, 2009
For you loyal followers… sorry that my "LOA Took Kit - 6 Practices for Soothing Panic" series has been slow and interrupted in coming, but when I SURRENDERED to whatever the Universe had in mind for me… life got big and busy.
To catch you up… on December 3rd of last year, a major source of predictable income evaporated suddenly. Instead of retreating toward fear, my husband and I decided to take the event as an opportunity to polish off our LOA tool kit, "remodel" our lives, and "upgrade" our relationship with money. (What can I say, I’m a sucker for "metaphors"…)
Holy Abundant Source, BATMAN! I can’t (well I can, but wow!) believe the amazing abundance that has unfolded.
- My husband, Chris has stepped in as my full-on business partner! "Having an assistant" was on my manifest list, but, as usual, the Universe delivered more than I could imagine! I asked for someone I could trust, competent, takes the initiative, believes in me and my work, watches out for me, collaborative, and fun creative… and… Well, I got more than an assistant, along with all of these qualities and more!
- My business is expanding like a big cosmic balloon – new clients, new programs, new opportunities…and
- Not only has Chris’ income been covered consistently, but we have lots of extra cash in the bank. I gave up CONTROL. I used to know where every penny came from and went. He’s now doing all of the bookkeeping and periodically shows me the check book balance and I keep saying, "How did THAT happen?! This is crazy!" Crazy good!
So, I offer this to all of you, who are experiencing changes in your work or money lives (as I know many of you are). Now more than ever the external influences of limiting beliefs and fear MUST be met with a reinforced and strengthened belief and focus on Source. Source is your ONLY Source. EVERYTHING in our external world is an illusion. If you make it your #1 priority to be open to this concept, study it, contemplate it, practice it, digest it, meditate on it, and affirm it… this truth will set you free to be in this world, but not of it.
How is it that Chris and I are manifesting this? Well, the LOA tool kit is absolutely part of it. You can review what I’ve covered so far using these links:
…And so, with all this as backdrop, let’s continue exploring my LOA Tool Kit…
My #4 Law of Attraction tool for soothing panic is…
Keep Giving
When we think or feel that the world around is contracting, or shrinking, or that we are losing something, the human knee-jerk reaction is to WITHRAW. We withdraw our trust. We withdraw ourselves into some kind of symbolic fetal position; we might take up hiding in our homes, or cancel social or volunteer commitments, or as is very often the case with money, we may feel the need to stop giving and start hoarding. Energetically speaking, this is the most counter productive thing you can do.
When something in your physical reality has been taken away, on a human level you may experience loss. However, on a neutral, energetic level, you have RELEASED something and a void has presented itself. VOIDS ARE GOOD, because the Universe abhors a vacuum and will instantaneously rush in to FILL the void. BUT, you have to decide what the void will be filled with.
If, in response to the void you perpetuate the energy of fear, scarcity, not enough-ness, and lack, the void will be filled with manifestations and experiences which match that vibration. If, however, you TRUST in the void. Say to yourself, "Okay! When one door closes another bigger, better one opens. I’m going to trust that something even better is on the way." And you perpetuate the vibration of abundance, trust, willingness, openness and possibility, the void will be filled with manifestations and experiences which match THAT vibration.
So, when fear makes you want to stop giving: money, time, attention, trust… the BEST thing you can do is to KEEP GIVING. How much you give is not as important as that you give.
Start by giving yourself the time and space to accept and honor your emotional reactions to the perceived loss. Let yourself be afraid, take a little time to panic if you must, even a mini freak-out is fine. But do so with the intention of releasing and then moving on to more productive energetic efforts. THEN find ways to give. Give Source your trust. Give of your money, whatever you can. Give with the understanding that ALL you have comes from Source. When you give you are simply contributing to the eternal flow of Source in your life. When you pull back your giving you STOP the flow. Not good. When experiencing a void it is more important than ever to nourish the flow. Give of your time. Give of your talent. Whatever you do. Keep giving.
When Chris and I lost our steady income in December, we kept giving in faith and trust. I firmly believe that this is what kept Source’s infinite flow going, even though a particular channel dried up. And, as we continued to experience Source not only taking care of us, but giving us MORE than we needed, I felt guided to increase our tithing. We had never quite attained the full 10%. It was scary to go there. But I knew that my next step was to finally release the illusion that my physical reality was our source of supply. It was finally time to 100% surrender to Source. To trust. So, I wrote down the equivalent of 10% of a recent flow of income: $381. Wow. Could I really tithe this much all at once? I didn’t even write the check. I just wrote in in the register. What happened? The NEXT DAY, Chris reconciled our books and showed me three new deposits. One of them was for exactly $380. (And the other two were much larger!) I took it as the sign I had asked for. "Okay. I get it God. I’m tithing the full 10% from now on. YOU ARE MY SOURCE."
Next time you feel panicked about a channel of income drying up in your life, remind yourself, "That’s okay. It is not my source. There is only ONE Source and infinite channels! I remain open to an even more abundant flow filling this void." Then give. KEEP GIVING. And stay open.
Choose Your Reality!
