There is a wonderful explanation of the Cycle of Abundance in “The Trance of Scarcity”, written by Victoria Castle. I share it with you today because it is so aligned with the spirit of Planet Joyride. Thanks to Victoria for describing it so beautifully (excerpts below):

“We often think of Abundance as being like a river: flowing but moving only in one direction. That image is misleading because Abundance is much smarter than that. Abundance renews and replenishes itself, flowing in a circular pattern the same way the breath moves: first the inhale and then the exhale. Each part of the cycle naturally makes way for the next.

*Aligning.
We move with the flow, awake to inspiration and opportunity.

*Attracting.
Attracting is energy that is focused yet unforced.

*Receiving.
Receiving means being available in the fullest sense of the word – allowing the precious moments of life to touch us deeply.

*Gratitude.
Gratitude is generative energy that acknowledges our connectedness.

*Generosity.
Generous souls know they cannot be diminished by Giving – the more they share, the fuller they feel.

*Giving.
Giving is the exhalation that makes room for the next inhalation.”
