In this episode conversation, Rachel Newton and I explore abundance from the spiritual perspective that we have more than enough right here and now and that receiving takes presence and the willingness to let go of struggling to get what we want and need.

In a spiritual context, abundance is less about actualizing what we think we want or about material gain. Instead, it revolves around savouring life in its fullness. It’s the cultivation of presence and appreciation of the human experience and universal consciousness.

Abundance is the fruition of creative ideas, desires, and needs actualized without effort and combined with conscious intent and faith. This sweet effortlessness is an act of compassion, a lessening reaction that deepens our relationship with our longing. 

How can we receive the abundance that life has to offer us, in the here and now, if we are not in touch with our longing? That would be like expecting to be loved by another when we shy away from acknowledging our own worth and refusing to recognize what is loveable within ourselves. 

Being open to abundance is a surrendering to the flow of life. This surrendered state is ultimately a welcoming towards all of us – especially the buried parts we tend to be unwilling to feel. Rachel refers to these fragmented parts of us as belonging to a Gestalt, reminding us that the whole is greater than the parts and that by focusing on the abundance, we already have begets more abundance.
