Luxury and A Sense of Abundance

For those of us who have become artistically anorectic - yearning to be creative and refusing to feed that hunger in ourselves so that we become more and more focused on our deprivation - a little authentic luxury can go a long way. The key word here is authentic. Because art is born in expansion, in a belief in sufficient supply, it is critical that we pamper ourselves for the sense of abundance it brings to us.

What constitutes pampering? That will vary for each of us. For Gillian, a pair of new-to-her tweed trousers from the vintage store conjured up images of Carole Lombard laughter and racy roadsters. For Jean, a single, sprightly Gerber daisy perched on her night table told her life was abloom with possibilty. Matthew found that the scent of real furniture wax gave him a feeling of safety, solidity, and order. Constance found luxury in allowing herself the indulgence of a magazine subscription (a $20 gift that keeps giving for a full year of images and indulgence).

All too often, we become blocked and blame it on our lack of money. This is never an authentic block. The actual block is our feeling of constriction, our sense of powerlessness. Art requires us to empower ourselves with choice.

At the most basic level, this means choosing to do self-care.

I've posted a couple of inspirational messages from Geoffrey Hoppe. If you are not familiar with him, Geoffrey is a medium who channels a number of entities and, with his wife, Linda, runs the Crimson Circle site. The two I've posted feature Tobias and Saint-Germain from the Teacher Series. Geoffrey and Steve Rother have a long history as fellow mediums and friends, and you'll find their channels say much the same things but in different ways.

Feeling the sense of abundance from a sunny day and the tea and chocolate in my hands, I send out a radiant boost of energy to you with LOTS of aloha, light, and hugs. Help yourself to the boost I send to you and enjoy it fully. I joyfully acknowledge the boost of energy from you and welcome it with open arms. With heartfelt gratitude, I thank you for being a part of this energy share.

Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.
