Feeling Abundant
Re: Feeling Abundant
Abundance is "Freedom To" and not "Freedom From"
Freedom to choose to go to a restaurant for Christmas or sit and spend cozy time at home.
Wouldn't it be nice to have freedom to
- freedom to buy a house in London or not to buy?
- freedom to buy designer clothes or buy clothes elsewhere?
- freedom to buy a car or choose to use public transport?
- freedom to move to live in the central London or decide to stay slightly outside?
- freedom to spend the time how I want?
- freedom to have impulses and inspirations and freedom to follow through them?
- freedom to choose?
- freedom to decide on what feels better and freedom to act on it?

Re: Feeling Abundant
my family, celebrating...
I so love Abes quote "make peace with outrageous abundance."
For me, it really takes a deliberate "making peace"! I loved to think about it. I loved to notice, that I was not completely at peace with HUGE amounts of richness! I LOVE LOVE LOVE embracing the "more and more", step by step, until it does not feel "outrageous", anymore!.
Abundance can be overwhelming and outrageous. As,
an abundance of love.
An abundance of closeness.
An abundance of joy and happiness.
An abundance of appreciation...
I love to realize that it is my job, to embrace that! And to heal it. To ALLOW it to BE.
I love loving outrageousness!
I love to give in to huge.
I love to simply breathe through it, no resistance, no attachement. Just BEING.
I love to allow it.
I love to allow to trust it.
I love how the love flows into it, and it just feels more and more and more light, and good, and easy, and welcome, and free, and light, and sweet, and so good.
I let the huge love wash through me. I let the huge love carry me. I enjoy it! I trust it. I like it. I love it!! Thank you, life!

Re: Feeling Abundant
I was inspired to bake a cake that has it's origin in the holy land. It's Christmas!
I was in awe with the amount of spices, and the ingrediences, that I rarely see, not even to speak of using them for cooking.
It felt like sheer abundance!
All this awesome textures. All this fragrances. This colors! I loved to touch them with my fingers, and kneed them.
Such a plethora of promising strangeness!
Such an adventure.
Such joy.
And such an awesome cake, in the end! It felt to me like an analogy, that Abe often describes: We have put the "ingrediences" of our Vortex there, incrementally, and we might have forgotten many of them. But source remembers them all, and has baked them int a thrilling, fascinating creation- a "cake", that is delicious beyond expectation and beyond our ability to fathom. But, we have to make peace with allowing it in!
We need to make peace with the "unknown".
We need to make peace with ALLOWING what we can not know or control, and trust the process.
So much is calling for us.
"Literal fortunes" have been put by us into our Vortexes... and they want to be with us! The call call call us... and not going hurts.
I give in. I give up my resistances. I trust. I allow. I let go, and let God. I allow! I allow. THAT FEELS SO GOOD.
Re: Feeling Abundant

Re: Feeling Abundant
On our roadtrip through the French- and Italian Alps, last summer
I feel so abundant!
I have so many AWESOME, abundant memories!
I love looking at the old pictures and FEELING the awe, the joy, the fascination, the thankfulness, again!
I love remembering the ABUNDANCE that my life is. The abundance of fascinating views. The abundance of Newness, that feels so thrilling. The abundance of freedom to go where we get called by joy. The abundance of capability, enhanced by our Jeep! The abundance of ease. The abundance of smoothness, with which it all unfolds. The abundance of wanting "more, more, more!!"
I feelt the deliciousness of the emotion of abundance, when I looked at this picture of our lunch, at that day in the Alps:
The abundance of joy, to unpack the food, that Wolfgang had bought on a tiny farmers market. The fresh bread, the Italian goat-cheese, made in the mountains. The honey from bees that live in the Alps! The delicious air-cured salami, that smelled so amazing, and tasted even better! The delight of the fresh fruit, that glistened in the sunlight... the abundance of trying it all. Of feeling the flavours on my tongue, mixing and enhancing each other. What an abundance of deliciousness! What a cornucopia of joy!
Again, I hear the wild creek swoosh down towards the valleys, besides the road. I feel the warm sun on my skin, and the fresh air that smells so special, high up in the mountains. I see all the tiny herbs under my bare feet... I feel the abundance of nature. The awesome abundance of freedom. The abundance of deep delight! The abundance of life-joy. The ABUNDANCE OF LIFE!
I am so, so, so thankful for the abundance of my life!!

Standing free (in nature, without camping-place around) for the night, on our trip through the Alps
I want to milk our roadtrip through the Italian and French High Alps! We used the smallest roads possible. We camped free in the wilderness, waking up to chamois and groundhogs, playing around the car, looking what would be up. It felt SO FREE. It felt so amazingly ABUNDANT.
It was the time of high bloom, in the High Alps it all blossoms together in one time, what is considered spring- or summer- or autumn-flowers, in the lower regions of my home! The meadows where FULL with the most beautiful, tiny, wonderful flowers!It felt stunning. It felt beyond abundance. It felt amazing! In one evening, I just layed in the rooftent and watched how the sun slowly settled, and the golden light changed its energy all the time. It felt breathtaking, to me! The air so incredibly clear and fresh! The view so WIDE. And all the myriads of yellow flowers glowed, and glistened... no photo can do it justice.
It just was ABUNDANCE! Overflowing, huge, immense, beloved, awesome abundance! I cried tears of joy. SO thankful to be here and now, able to experience this. So in awe. So very very very thankful!
THANK YOU LIFE!

Re: Feeling Abundant
Famous Kaffeehaus: Kaiserlich-Königliche Hofzuckerbäckerei "Demel", Wien... (purveyor of the court for emperor and king, the confectioner Demel, in Vienna/Austria)
In Vienna, with my brother, daughter and SIL
my brother the priest, and I
My beloved brother drove by yesterday/this morning. We sea each other once a year, maybe. We never grew up together, but we REALLY feel like siblings, spiritually. He is a priest and he does amazing work. I am a housewife and artist, and aim to do amazing work. We both feel as lightworkers since we've been children! Our relationship feels so ABUNDANT. It is effortlessly deep. It flows so easy, while it is so meaningful. It is big, and wide, and open, abundant and deeply satisfying!
I so love our rare meetings. I love the city where he lives in the moment, Vienna. This baroque, rich, beautiful city- know as one of the very top cities of the world regarding livability feels SO ABUNDANT! I love the huge beautiful buildings. I love the tiny beautiful shops. I love the Patisserie (=Zuckerbäckerei) that are to be enjoyed in the typical, relaxed Kaffeehäuser (=cafés). I love the plethora of gourmet coffee-specialities, that are sold in Austria. Whole Vienna feels SO ABUNDANT. Rich, good, bold, varied in so many ways!
Thank you, life, for the amazing manyfold ABUNDANCE of abundance! I love to connect Abundance with love. And with cake. And with livelihood! And with beauty. And with spontaneous joyful trips and meetings. I so love to feel ABUNDANT!!! I feel so deeply abundant. THANK YOU LIFE!!
