Abundantia
Abundance & Prosperity
Abundantia is the ancient Roman goddess of abundance and prosperity. The word abundance is derived from her name and means overflow. She is usually depicted with a cornucopia, horn of plenty, overflowing with produce, flowers or nuts. In more modern depictions, this horn holds coins as abundance had taken on a meaning of financial wealth and wheat, not only a source of food but a trading commodity, rather than the copious amounts of produce nature brings forth to sustain us.
There Is No Scarcity or Lack
The universal law underlying the concept of abundance is that there is no scarcity or lack at all, as intelligent energy, or life force, is infinite and thus, there is enough for all. Always. There are many reasons, why abundance eludes us in our lives. But when you look closely, abundance is in everything that our human experience holds for us. When we ask for abundance, but ride the energy of lack, you’ll receive more of what you send out.
Receive & Hold
The key is the ability to receive and to hold. And this depends on what our nervous system is comfortable with. It needs to feel safe. And safety is the familiar, even if that is poverty, ill health, grief, and so on. The nervous system needs retraining first. A simple change in strategy, to hustle harder and longer without doing the inner work won’t bring you the desired result. But when you train your nervous system to feel safe with abundance entering and staying in your life, it’s a complete game changer.
Abundance
There is no good or bad about being rich and abundant. Being financially affluent doesn’t automatically make you a bad person, just as giving your last shirt doesn’t make you a good one. Self-sacrifice is not healthy. When you deplete yourself through over-giving, you don’t respect your own boundaries, and neither will others. If you want to share your blessings, you have to have something to share.
