Abundance Check Update

Remember when I wrote a blog post about abundance checks at the new moon?  I filled one out like I said I would, and I have found more abundance in my life because of it.

I will be starting a new position with my current company on Monday.  This position will make my schedule Monday-Friday (as opposed to rotating 12-hour shifts), and I will rejoin the normal world of day shift!  I'm very excited about this new position for a few reasons: it will put me on a similar schedule to my hubby so we will see each other more often, I'm interested in the work I'll be doing, and I'll have more time on my workdays to unwind and make Hubby dinner in the evenings.

While I believe my employment record and my qualifications were what got me the new position, I believe the abundance check focused my mind to being alert for abundance in my life.

I will continue to write abundance checks on new moons, and I recommend the practice to others, if only to prime your mind for exceptance of abundance into your life.

New Moon Abundance

Since I've started down this Pagan path I've never stopped hearing about abundance checks.  I hear about them constantly every new moon and I have yet to try them.

I recently watched the film The Secret, which, if you haven't seen it, it's really about an hour and a half or so of the same people telling you the same thing that was said in the first 15 minutes.  The Secret is all about the Law of Attraction, and they make it sound like it's some huge conspiracy that people have kept hidden away for centuries.  In my opinion, the way they did this film is what makes it sound so crazy.  The actual theory that positive thinking makes your life more of a positive experience makes perfect sense.

The idea is this:  your thoughts are brainwaves that are energy vibrations.  Science can measure your thoughts in brainwaves just like it can measure microwaves, sound-waves, and light-waves.  When you think, brainwaves are released into the Universe as a sort of beacon, and the Universe responds by sending you what it perceives you are asking for.  So, if you send out negative vibes, you'll continue to receive negative feedback and experiences because that's what you've primed yourself for.  On the other hand, think positively, sending out positive vibrations, and you're letting the Universe know that you're primed for positive experiences and energies.


Because I want to make myself open to experiencing what I can experience and I don't want to be a scrooge and a cynic, and because the new moon is tomorrow at 5:05pm EST, I've decided to give the abundance checks a try.  What I've read everywhere is that you write your name on the "Pay to the order of" spot, and "paid in full" in both dollar amount spots.  Most articles I've read say to leave the date blank, and to sign the check either "The Law of Attraction" or "The Law of Abundance."  You're also supposed to write the check within 24 hours after the new moon.  After writing the check, you're supposed to put it someplace safe and forget about it.  Some articles I read said to put it in your wallet and carry it with you.


I'll check back in about a month or so and give feedback on how this works out for me.  Blessed be!
