Quarterly Quote

"Men are disturbed not
by things that happen,
but by their opinion of the things
that happen."
—(attributed to) Epictetus, Greek Stoic Philosopher

Quarterly Affirmation

I am open and receptive to
all of my abundant blessings!

Regardless of your place in life, developing a positive relationship with money is essential if you are to attract and keep some. Are you feeling as prosperous as you would like to feel? How do you feel when you pay your bills? Do you feel joyous, filled with gratitude and appreciation, approaching the task as a sacred opportunity? Or do you worry about your bills all month long, complain about the cost of living, and feel resentful with each bill you pay?

For many people, the regular task of bill paying triggers feelings of scarcity, desperation, and fear. Metaphysical teacher and guide, Janet Carol Ryan, RScP, understood this when she created the CD Abundant Blessings: Meditation and Affirmations for Conscious Money Circulation. This beautifully produced CD is perfect for creating a positive mood while bill paying and the affirmations are great all the time for raising your prosperity consciousness.

Creating Abundant Blessings
Ms. Ryan says the seed for the CD came to her in the mid-90s. “At the time, I was studying conscious creation metaphysics. I began to understand how our thoughts and feelings create our lives.” Says the certified Religious Science Practitioner. Her further understanding that money is just one form of abundance made her look at her own experiences around money. She created the first audio tape for herself, and then offered it to friends to get their feedback. “I listened to it, off and on, for 2 years,” says Ryan. “I certainly noticed a change in how I felt when I listened and when I didn’t.”

Unanimously, her friends encouraged her to release a CD for sale. The idea of making a CD and all of the technical aspects that were outside of her experience seemed daunting at first. However, she used the very principles of conscious creation that she now teaches—she affirmed that the right and perfect ways and means to create the CD would be revealed. She spent time envisioning the finished product as a beautiful and empowering tool for people. She created a special journal for new ideas, and also created a physical prototype of the product. Then, one day, it dawned on her that she may not know how to produce a CD, but she had people in her network that certainly did!

Inspirational Collaboration
Ryan approached friend and singer, Karen Drucker (www.karendrucker.com), whose many popular CD’s are filled with inspiring, devotional, and at times, rollicking songs for the spiritual path. Drucker’s husband, musician and sound engineer, John Hoy, created the beautiful background music for the CD and did the sound editing, while Drucker offered her amazing vocals to the end of the meditation and affirmations tracks. You can’t help but feel uplifted by this combination of inspiring words, music and vocals! Ryan’s voice is soothing and resonant as she speaks the deeply thoughtful and well-crafted meditation and affirmations…

“I am connected with the Universal Source of all life.”

“I am completely and fully supported by life, and all my needs are fulfilled by the infinite Source of Good.”

“The money I circulate today came from the infinite Source and it goes out to bless those who have blessed
me with their goods and services.”

Through the affirmations, Ryan encourages the listener to feel their connection to Source and bless each money transaction, creating a ripple effect of positive energy around money. This concept may be new to you, or it may remind you of something you learned many years ago. "The point of the Abundant Blessings CD," explains Ryan, "is to shift energy from fear and scarcity around money, to allowing the universal flow to provide…to feel fully support by Divine Source."

Creating Change
When you listen to this CD, if certain affirmations catch your attention, write them down and say them to yourself aloud each day. Over time, their positive influence will gently change your beliefs surrounding money and abundance. Money is one aspect of abundance, as abundance is not only about money. Each person gets to choose how they define abundance in their health, relationships, experiences, and life. Since we are all as unique as snowflakes, that means there are infinite ways to describe abundance, and all of them are valid to their respective owner. This is what keeps creation ever expanding and moving forward.

There is no doubt that listening to this CD regularly will help you establish a new, more positive, attitude about money and the task of bill paying. One of Ryan’s clients purchased the CD after observing her partner's tirade about bill paying. While he did not believe the CD would help, he allowed her to play it as they gathered and paid their bills. After several months, he stopped complaining about the task and soon as asking his partner, “Hey…where’s that CD? I want to listen to it.” This couple, like many who use the CD regularly, experienced a greater sense of order about money and bill paying, greater financial flow, and overall peace in their household. As money is a significant source of stress for many families, it’s not surprising that changing one’s attitude about it could bring about some positive changes.

AffirmingSpirit with Abundant Blessings
Listening to this CD helped me examine and improve my relationship with money, so I know it will help others. You can listen to the meditation and affirmations when you pay your bills. The rest of the month, you will find the affirmations incredibly soothing. It's hard not to create a positive relationship with money if you are listening such positive messages on a regular basis. If this is an issue that you struggle with, this CD will be of great comfort to you.

In fact, I was so thrilled with this CD that is now being offered for sale on AffirmingSpirit.com so you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
