What Is Abundance? | A Mystical & Spiritual Introduction

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” — Wayne Dyer

Abundance is often misunderstood in our modern world. Many equate it with material wealth—money, possessions, and success. But from a mystical and spiritual perspective, abundance is far more expansive, inclusive, and transformative. It’s an energetic state of being—a sacred alignment with the flow of life itself.

This introduction will help you redefine what abundance truly is, recognize how to invite it into your life, and integrate mystical and spiritual wisdom into daily practice. Through ancient teachings, practical exercises, and inspiring quotes, you’ll begin to experience abundance not as a future goal, but as a present reality.

The Mystical Essence of Abundance

Abundance is the natural state of the Universe. Look at nature: forests teem with trees, oceans flow endlessly, stars fill the skies. There is no scarcity in nature’s design—only infinite creativity and bountiful provision.

In mystical traditions—from Taoism to Sufism, Kabbalah to Vedanta—abundance is seen as a spiritual inheritance. It is the energetic reflection of your alignment with Source, the Divine, God, or the Universe—whatever name speaks to you.

When you’re aligned, abundance flows. When you’re disconnected from your true self, you experience lack.

“You are the Universe in ecstatic motion.” — Rumi

Key Truths About Abundance

  1. Abundance is holistic. It includes love, joy, health, time, creativity, support—not just money.
  2. It begins with consciousness. Your thoughts, emotions, and spiritual alignment shape your experience.
  3. Gratitude amplifies abundance. What you appreciate, you attract more of.
  4. Scarcity is a belief, not a fact. You can unlearn scarcity and realign with Divine flow.

Exercise 1: The Abundance Awareness Practice

Purpose: Shift your awareness from scarcity to abundance.

Instructions:

  1. Sit in a quiet space with a journal.
  2. Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths.
  3. Ask yourself:
    • “Where do I already have abundance in my life?”
    • “What flows to me easily?”
    • “What am I deeply grateful for?”
  4. Write down at least 10 sources of abundance that you currently experience (friendships, time, sunsets, laughter, skills, etc.).
  5. Reflect: How does it feel to realize you are already abundant?

“Gratitude is the open door to abundance.” — Yogi Bhajan

Spiritual Laws That Govern Abundance

Understanding spiritual laws can help us align with the mystical flow of abundance. Here are three key laws:

1. The Law of Circulation

Everything in the universe moves in cycles—seasons, breath, tides, energy. Giving and receiving are two ends of the same flow. When you hoard or fear loss, you block circulation.

Tip: Practice generosity daily, even in small ways.

2. The Law of Correspondence

“As within, so without.” Your outer reality mirrors your inner beliefs. When you believe in sufficiency and trust in life, your environment reflects that.

Tip: Rewire your inner narrative from “I can’t” to “There’s more than enough.”

3. The Law of Vibration

Everything is energy, including thoughts and emotions. High vibrations (love, joy, trust) attract high-frequency outcomes.

Tip: Cultivate a vibrational state of abundance through meditation, music, or beauty.

Practical Exercise 2: The Abundance Mirror

Purpose: Reprogram your subconscious beliefs about lack.

Instructions:

  1. Stand in front of a mirror.
  2. Look yourself in the eyes and say out loud:
    • “I am worthy of a life filled with abundance.”
    • “I open myself to receive joy, love, and prosperity.”
    • “I trust the Universe to provide exactly what I need.”
  3. Repeat these affirmations daily for 7 days.
  4. Journal any emotional shifts or resistance you feel. These are clues to deeper beliefs needing healing.

“Your task is not to seek for abundance, but to remove the blocks to receiving it.” — Inspired by A Course in Miracles

Mystical Traditions & Their Views on Abundance

Hinduism

The goddess Lakshmi embodies wealth, beauty, and fortune. She is called upon during Diwali to invoke prosperity not just materially, but spiritually and emotionally.

Taoism

Taoist wisdom speaks of Wu Wei, the art of effortless flow. Abundance comes when we stop forcing and begin aligning.

Kabbalah

Abundance is the natural state of the Ein Sof (Infinite Source). We receive in proportion to how much we embody vessels of light—through kindness, joy, and alignment.

Sufism

The Sufi poet Rumi reminds us that the Beloved (God) is the Source of all joy and provision. In surrender, the heart opens to divine gifts.

Practical Exercise 3: Nature as a Portal to Abundance

Purpose: Reconnect to the universal flow of life.

Instructions:

  1. Go to a natural setting (park, forest, beach).
  2. Sit quietly and observe how effortlessly nature exists.
  3. Ask yourself:
    • “How can I live with this same trust in natural flow?”
    • “Where am I resisting what wants to naturally come to me?”
  4. Write or draw what comes through.

“Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin… yet even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” — Jesus (Matthew 6:28-29)

Signs You’re in the Flow of Abundance

  • You feel peaceful, even when life is uncertain.
  • You experience unexpected blessings and synchronicities.
  • You give and receive with ease.
  • You trust in timing and divine support.
  • You feel gratitude without needing more.

“Abundance is not a number or acquisition. It is the simple recognition of enoughness.” — Alan Cohen

Common Blocks to Abundance

Sometimes we unknowingly sabotage our connection to abundance. These include:

  • Unworthiness: Believing you don’t deserve good.
  • Fear of success: Worrying abundance will bring loss or responsibility.
  • Attachment to outcome: Forcing or chasing instead of receiving.
  • Comparison: Believing others’ gain means your loss.

The remedy? Awareness + forgiveness + new belief patterns.

Final Exercise: The Sacred Abundance Prayer

Purpose: Open your heart to divine provision.

Prayer (Read aloud or meditate on it)

Divine Source of Infinite Abundance,
I open my heart and life to your gifts.
Remove all doubt, fear, and resistance from my path.
Let me walk in harmony with the flow of the Universe.
Fill me with trust, love, and gratitude.
May I receive, give, and circulate blessings freely.
I now claim my birthright: a life of peace, joy, and overflowing abundance.
And so it is.
Amen.

Integrating Abundance into Daily Life

  1. Start your day with gratitude.
  2. Notice where abundance already exists.
  3. Let go of what you don’t need—declutter physically and energetically.
  4. Give from the heart without fear.
  5. Trust in divine timing and flow.

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” — Lao Tzu

Conclusion: You Are the Source

Abundance doesn’t come from outside—it arises when you remember your connection to the Infinite Source within and around you. As you align spiritually, emotionally, and energetically, you become a vessel of divine flow.

The path to abundance is not a hustle—it’s a return. A remembering. A sacred invitation to dance with life, trusting that everything you need already exists in the heart of the Universe.

“Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level.” — Eileen Caddy
