Remember that increasing your abundance is about changing your perception and relationship to abundance. This change is not a doing action, but rather an inner reflection. Changes will occur by tending to them every day.

The energies of our culture are about quick fixes and immediate change. No time is this more apparent as now at the New Year. However, change is not about infrequent events or something done a few times a year. Rather change occurs by tending to it every day. And change occurs by being remindful of the seasons of the year and the phases of the moon.

According to Donna Eden in Energy Medicine, “the amount of solar radiation hitting the Earth fluctuates with the phase of the moon and seems to influence human behavior” (1998, p. 37). At the full moon, there are more calls to 911 and a rise in psychotic behavior. Even Mutual Funds fluctuate in a pattern related to the lunar cycle (p. 37). [See this Full Moon’s “Reading by the Light of the Moon” column for a book review of Energy Medicine.]

To help you stay tuned to the energies of the season and the energies of the Full Moon, Lunar Reflections is published to remind you of this time of completion before we enter the time of reflection as the moon wanes to the New Moon (which is the perfect time to begin to make effective changes in your life). Likewise, the columns content help you to understand how change occurs by paying attention to it, rather than doing something once and expecting dramatic results.

To help you remember a year of abundance tips, here is a list of the titles of last year’s columns:

One year of Abundance Tips:

·       The Universe is Abundant!

·       Recognize Abundance in your Life

·       Recognize Scarcity Thinking

·       Unleash your Limitations

·       Replace “all or nothing” Thinking with “something”

·       Recognize the Energy of Scarcity

·       Recognize the Energy of Debt

·       Focus on Fulfillment

·       Giving or the Link between Reciprocity and Abundance

·       Asking or the Link between Reciprocity and Abundance

·       Receiving or its Link between Reciprocity and Abundance

Remember that increasing your abundance is about changing your perception and relationship to abundance. This change is not a doing action, but rather an inner reflection. So as you remind yourself to think abundantly and perceive abundance in your life during this full moon, allow yourself to focus on abundance a little every day. Changes will occur by tending to them every day.
