Alignment Abundance and Authenticity - Keys to Joyful Living

Alignment Abundance  Authenticity are key areas of spiritual awareness and understanding and we need to get these right be able to use them in the right way, which means that they work in our lives to our benefit instead of to our detriment.How can these spiritual principles operate to our detriment?Let me explain:1. When we do not know how they work all of the time instead of working in ‘good’ ways. Universal energy is non-judgmental, there is no good or bad. It is all neutral or equal, there is no better or worse, more or less. 2. When we make judgments about what these concepts represent rather than understanding them as universal principles and then criticize and judge ourselves for not being able to meet these high universal standards. 3. When we try to skip over steps in our healing and growth process and try to negotiate with the Universe to get ahead or to make our lives better in some way by trying to implement these spiritual principles in the wrong way. For example, thinking that focusing on manifesting a better life will succeed even if we do not believe it is possible for us. Let’s talk about AlignmentAlignment means things are lined up and working togetherWe think alignment exists in good ways, we are out of alignment when things are not going so wellThe truth is we are always aligned with everything in our life, all of the timeWhen we want something different we have to create new level of alignment with new energy. Unless we change the energy our alignment keeps moving forward, in the same direction, in the same way. When we feel stuck we’re out of alignment with our current reality and in the process of bringing in new energy to create a new one, we’re in an energy gap and we’re not aligned with anything, which gives us a feeling of being stuck, can’t move forward, and we’re unsure of what to do next. The worse thing we can do in this case is to think we have done something wrong or are being punished. We are not, we’re just in an energy gap, in a space between two different levels of alignment The keys to understanding alignment are:1. You’re always aligned with everything in your life all of the time. There is no better or worse alignment.2. When you’re ready for a new level of alignment with new energies nothing feels right or works for you.3. A new level of alignment is created by setting a new intention for your life and reality and then bringing in the energy to allow it to happen.4. Surrender to the alignment that is now out of synch with you and prepare for something new to create a new level of alignment.Stop judging and criticizing yourself for being ‘out of alignment’ whenever things go wrong or you think you’re not doing things right because they are not working. Let’s talk about AbundanceSo much misunderstanding about abundance because we think it means only good thingsWe have abundance when we have money, freedom, good things, and blessings and if we don’t then we have no abundance.But we always have abundance in everythingThe universal law of abundance states ‘there is abundance in all things’You can have an abundance of problems, bad health, money issues, sadness, and unhappinessYou can have an abundance of joy, love, laughter, miracles, and things you really likeThere is always unlimited abundance in your life – to change the kind of flow you have to change the kind of abundance you are manifesting which means to change your alignment The keys to understanding abundance are:1. Understand that abundance exists in all things, everywhere, all of the time2. You connect with, attract, and receive the kind of abundance that resonates with your own energy frequency3. Whatever you have a lot of in your life exists in abundance4. Changing your level of abundance depends on your own energy frequency and vibration – abundance follows beliefs and beliefs create alignment There are two keys to abundance:1. In a universe that exists in unlimited abundance there can be no concept of lack, where there is nothing. Unlimited abundance is unlimited abundance. 2. The opposite of abundance is not lack, it is limitation. So if your life is not feeling abundant in ways that you want, it is not because there is nothing there for you, it’s because you are limiting the flow of the kind of abundance you want into your life Let’s talk about AuthenticityAuthenticity is the state of being genuine or real, it is not a state of honesty, morality, or good behaviorWhen we say someone is not being authentic that is not true – they are being themselves – we are always being exactly who we areIn this case, that person is not in alignment with our beliefs about honesty, morality, or good behavior – that does not make then not authentic, it makes them themselvesWe spend too much time thinking we have to be authentic – we are always authentic, just like we always have abundance and we are always aligned with what is in our reality They keys to authenticity are1. Everyone is always their authentic self, at all times. Authenticity is not a measure of goodness, kindness, compassion, spirituality, or understanding.2. The only way to be truly authentic is to be yourself at all times3. Who we are changes over time, as we heal, learn, and grow and become more self aware we change our level of authenticity to reflect our self awareness but we are always authentic throughout that process4. We cannot spend time judging our authenticity just as we cannot spend time criticizing others because their authenticity conflicts with what we think is good or acceptable behaviorWe need to look for alignment and not judge others’ authenticity. The person who lies to you, cheats on you, and steals from you is being their authentic self – they are a liar, cheater, and a thief. Instead of judging them ask yourself what it is in you that has chosen to align with that kind of person and look within yourself to do the healing you need to choose people who are more honorable, respectful, and trustworthy.Alignment, Abundance, and authenticity are powerful spiritual principles that govern our use of energy and how we can live in an empowered, powerful way. When we use these spiritual principles in alignment with our soul priorities and our highest potential, they become the keys to joyful, joy-filled living.  Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2026 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.
