Welcome to the Abundance Circle

The Emerge Healing Abundance Circle is a group of women in San Francisco who have come together to co-create a resonant field of Abundance in their lives and communities.

We circle with the intention of growing our awareness of the Abundance that already exists in our world.

We circle with the intention to amplify the Abundance in not only our own lives, but in the lives of those around us, our communities, and our planet!

We circle to co-create opportunities, awareness and celebration of living in true Abundance; mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Knowing that what we give, we receive, begin by asking yourself, "What intentions will you set around giving? How will these intentions and their subsequent manifestations benefit not only you but the world around you? How are your intentions influenced and empowered by your giving practice?"

Come share in our field of intentions online! Or start a face to face meetup group of your own!

The Part of the Brain that Experiences Giving as Receiving

Recently, whenever I think about the energy of giving I am reminded of a scene I saw in the movie The Moses Code. Author/ Psychologist Harville Hendrix talks about how there is a part of the human brain, in the limbic system, that is not time or object oriented. So, this part cannot tell the difference between itself and others and has no sense of past, present, or future. This part of our brain truly receives whatever we are giving - it doesn’t know whether it’s going out or coming in. So whatever we are giving, we are in fact receiving.

However, realize that this part of the brain doesn't discriminate between positive and negative things. If you are complimenting someone, your brain receives it as self-praise, but if you are complaining about someone, your brain takes it as self-criticism. Likewise, when we give something, a gift, some of our time, love, attention, our brain experiences it as if we are receiving whatever we give.

What a powerful way to use the energy of 29 Gifts; to not only give to others but to give to yourself as well!

Saturday would have been a great day to sleep in, but as sleep is eluding me lately that just didn't happen. I also had houseguests (the Awesome Boyfriends brother and nephew were here), so I got up and brewed the first of many pots of French Pres...

Today a student came to me with a request for an extension for work missed. She did not have a valid excuse for her absences, but she was sincere in wanting to complete her work. I extended the time that she needed to complete her assignments.

I love that you made the connection between the giving and the receiving. That's one of the benefits of this challenge. Your awareness increases, and you really start to notice what you receive. As you continue on your giving journey I think you'r...

Thank you, Astraa, for the welcome message. I love the cartoon drawing of the lady in her armchair with her cat and her hot drink. I tried to thank you earlier, but I had a problem with the computer I was on last week. -sparkie

I love your joy at receiving the 5 pennies. Most people wouldn't think of that as something to be excited about, but I am with you. A gift is a gift large or small. I think it makes our lives so much richer when we recognize all the gifts that com...

Last night my husband and I walked our dog Jack (actually, he usually walks us, but I'm working on that...) around the park for a total of 3 miles! I made a firm commitment to myself that I am going to walk every day to lose weight, get in shape a...
