Welcome, Dear Friends:
I hope this final issue finds you and yours in great spirits! In this issue I would like to explore one of the greatest false beliefs most of us are battling – Scarcity.        Scarcity = to believe in the lack of Abundance.

Looking forward to your calls, comments and e-mails.Wishing you Success and Great Joy this last Quarter of 2006!                                                                                         With Warm Blessings, Elizabeth 

           Scarcity versus Abundance              

  “If struggling were the way to get there we’d all be there by now” Einstein
                                                     

                                    Scarcity ==== not having, being, doing, feeling….enough”.
What is the greatest enemy within that stops us from being as creative, caring, and resilient as we are? What is it that squeezes the life out of us so that we resign to a shadow of our true selves? How do we stop this cycle of beliefs in ‘Lack of’ versus Abundance? Truly, one of the greatest malaise of our times is Scarcity – thinking, often called ‘Poverty-thinking’. We catch it like a virus as we move within our surroundings and we keep it alive for years, without realizing how much better we would feel without it.
In working with hundreds of people, I have repeatedly encountered the tragic theme of “I am not enough”––not good enough, smart enough, rich enough, young enough, old enough, worthy enough. Almost as prevalent is the theme of “There is not enough”––not enough time, money, opportunity, love, cooperation, power, you name it... This prevailing premise of “not-enough-ness” successfully cripples the lives of people who would otherwise be buoyant and passionate.

As if in a trance, a semi-conscious state, a daze, we accept what we’re told or what we tell ourselves without question.
Scarcity shows up in all types of personalized versions, but the results are always the same. Instead of experiencing the brilliance and creativity we are aching to offer, the world gets the by-products of actions that oppress, isolate, exclude and defeat.
Scarcity has very little value: at best it produces enormous waste. This trance may show up privately, as self-doubt and over-consumerism, or publicly, as an arrogant disregard for future generations. Many of us spend our time lamenting the way things are, justifying all the reasons why they can’t be different, and preparing for the worst. Whether we act as the oppressed or the oppressor, we are caught in a web of our own making. As a reigning planetary myth, this collective trance effectively keeps us from living at peace with ourselves and each other.
There is life on the other side ––a life of vitality, fulfillment and joy. I remember it from my youth! It’s not a pipe dream, it also resides deep within each and everyone of us. It is screaming to be let free, and allowed to move us to happiness! To do that we need to bring an honest light on our beliefs and confronting whatever has lived within us as the stone cold truth (usually the most disruptive things we can imagine!) Claiming our freedom always causes a certain degree of disruption. Breaking free is the polar opposite of comfort or stalemate, different from sedating ourselves so we can tolerate captivity.

Fortunately, we are not really alone in this struggle. The planets, angels, our guardians – and not to forget the closest one: our Higher Self– are all coming to assist us. We are living in the most exciting times for this transformation to occur.
Leading the way are the planet, Pluto: disrupting and rebuilding; the planet Uranus: infusing surprise attacks and future Progress ; and our loving Friend, Jupiter – all in a symphony to create lasting transformations on our planet right now, in our lifetime!
The more each of us chooses to live and breathe within a reality of Sufficiency and Abundance the faster we will break the cycle of powerlessness that now holds us in a state of trance. We end this disastrous tale when we stop telling it to ourselves and each other, when we begin to embody a better reality. The trance loses its power when we address the source of the suffering rather than apply a bandage to the symptoms.

We can eliminate that suffering, one person at a time, starting now.
To successfully upgrade from scarcity and struggle to abundance and ease, we must interrupt and discard old patterns that have been living quite comfortably within us, acting like they own the place. A little discomfort can end a lifetime of suffering.
What we embody becomes our way of being. Our way of being in the world is the result of what we practice—whether or not it is intentional. Our habits and automatic reactions live in our muscles and in our nervous system. That’s why the conceptual approach of “mind over matter” does little more than irritate––because it cannot override what is already embodied.
The good news is we already have all the “technology” we need to make the fundamental shift away from the daze of Scarcity and into Abundance. We can change our experience from a life dominated by struggle and constriction to a life of greater ease and possibility. And this shift can occur independent of our circumstances. Abundance goes far beyond the narcissistic orientation of “As long as I have what I need, that’s all that matters.” Real abundance means living in a state of fullness and flow, welcoming our interconnectedness with everyone else. Little by little, we are released from the ‘Me ‘orientation that has kept us separate and lonely and we enter the ‘We’ orientation that makes room for our hearts and minds to stay open and connected. This awesome transformation is really happening right now, as we are entering into the Age of Knowing.

In my coaching/readings sessions many of you had experienced the conscious purpose to help facilitate the state of Abundance and remove the trance of ‘ not – enough– ness”…. I am committed to continue to work along these lines to help each one of you to live the Reality of Abundance.
         My prayer is simple: I wish for all of us to Live, Thrive and Be Abundant in the Present Moment! EP.
