\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 273 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 to see how.<\/p>\n

We often ask for more abundance when we\u2019re trying to manifest more money. When I was writing T<\/strong>apping into Wealth: How Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Can Help You Clear the Path to Making More Money<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0 with Margaret M. Lynch<\/a>, the leading expert for finding and clearing blocks to getting more money, I became enlightened about the difference between desiring money and desiring abundance.<\/p>\n

Abundance is a very generalized concept that often relates to money when you have a spiritual perspective. But, abundance doesn\u2019t necessarily mean money\u2014actual cold hard cash! Since abundance is just a concept, wanting it doesn\u2019t create the kind of vibration needed to manifest. And the Law of Attraction may not recognize that you want more money.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re taught to include all the riches we have\u2014family and friends, love, good health, a nice home, joy, etc.\u2014under the umbrella of abundance. It sounds good, and can make you feel better for the moment about not having more money. There\u2019s nothing wrong with seeking that kind of abundance. But thinking in those terms can distract you from telling the Universe you want more money. Sometimes that mindset can make you feel guilty about wanting lots more cold cash and\/or get you off the track for creating it. Seeking to increase abundance can seem like a more spiritual mindset, while focusing on just getting more money can seem shallow.\u00a0 Desiring more money out loud can almost seem as if you don\u2019t appreciate all the blessings of your abundance.<\/p>\n

Asking for money can seem very unspiritual or greedy. Some of us have blocks that keep us from attracting money. You may have been given a negative picture of what happens if your income gets a lot bigger. Asking for more money can trigger old negative messages, fear of changing if you get more money, fear of not fitting in with your family. If you can, do EFT (Tapping)\u00a0 to clear your blocks.<\/p>\n

Remember, you can\u2019t pay bills with abundance! Nor can you get a better lifestyle if you can\u2019t pay for it.
\nIf you want a lot more money, you need to focus directly on increasing your income. Of course you can also appreciate other kinds of abundance, as long as you focus on money when that\u2019s what you want. It\u2019s important to be clear about what you tell the Universe so the Law of Attraction knows exactly what you want.<\/p>\n

If you want more money, specifically ask for it. You can build a strong vibration to greatly increase your wealth by both feeling gratitude about all your blessings and focusing on creating much more abundance in dollars and cents. Enjoy any non-money abundance that comes to you but keep more money on your mind. Abundance comprises all your blessings. Separate it from the money you want and focus on the good feelings you\u2019ll have when you the Law of Attraction works in your favor. Save abundance for when you\u2019re counting your blessings.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5315"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5337,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315\/revisions\/5337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
