On this week’s “The Way,” we talked how to get to the root of welcoming abundance into our lives. It’s great subject that so many people grapple with, and your terrific calls and tweets offered me the chance to give some insight that I hoped proved helpful to you all.
The first step in releasing and allowing abundance is to look back at our childhoods and think about how the relationship to money was manifest in our homes. Was there a dynamic that laid the groundwork for what could be a block in your accepting and embracing abundance? Was there money in the family, but a lack of attention from a parent? Have you formed negative associations attached to the presence, or scarcity, of money in your early formative years? We need to understand these influences in order to let go of them.
Another factor in the role of abundance in our lives is how we let people to talk to us. Have you allowed your self-worth to be affected by put-downs? Your confidence level reflects in the abundance of all things in your life. Adopting a belief system, that raises your self-confidence, can eliminate the burden of these external factors.
When we understand the patterns that have been formed from the past, we can break the negative associations to abundance and begin to let all our potential flow. Allowing abundance means allowing love and a state of grace into your life. Accept the idea that you are able to receive, and that when you have more than you need you can give to others to improve the state of the world for all.

Thank you Derek! It all makes sense to me now!!!

Thanks for these insights! I have some friends who are muscians in Ireland. The music cult in Ireland is great everybody loves a good foot tapping jig. It takes a lot of effort to become skilled in an instrument and yet I see they can find it hard to make a living. This is really helpful and it’s great to have something to share with them which could make such a difference in their lives. So thanks Derek for the brilliant insights!

That’s so true what Colette has said about musicians. My brother plays the fiddle and loves it. But my mum always told him when we were growing up not to get into music as there was no future in it. So although he has great confidence in his playing he does not have the same belief about making a good living from it and so he doesn’t! But he really really enjoys it. There is such a great tradition of music here in Ireland we are so lucky to have such a rich musical cult as part of our heritage. It would be great to see all these talented musicians share in some of the abundance that has been enjoyed by bankers and business men! So thanks to this website I now have some tools to pass onto him! Thanks Derek this is great!

This show was really helpful to me, and it came at the perfect time! I recently became a nurse, and am making much more money than I was before. I also was given the opportunity to move into a beautiful new living space for an incredible price. These are great things, but it has brought up fear in me, and has felt wierd, because it is such a change from being a student and having to stretch out my paychecks. This show really gave me some insights into why this is bring up feelings for me, and has allowed me to examine dynamics from my past that this could have stemmed from.
