Firstly my apologies to those I still owe a reply to... I will still be responding but couldn't wait to post this.
I came across a book that has made all the sense in the world to me (so far) in terms of manifesting abundance & the specifics behind why we don't.
So far it's message seems to be that
as long as there are stagnation or leaks in your energy of any kind -- be it financial, physical, mental, emotional --
this will in turn affect any area of your life that appears to be short of energy & hence manifested desires.
ALL is CONNECTED...
ANYTHING that brings down your energy.. Dampens it.. Lessens it.. Makes you feel sick to your stomach, nervous, worried, anxious.. It is energy that is taken away from the ability to manifest what you really want.
The way to regain your energy is to look at ALL DRAINS & STAGNATION & then take action that is congruent with your integrity (called 'authentic action') that takes you closer to resolving whatever the issue is that is drawing your attention.
The biggest eye-opener for me was realizing that it's those pesky little thoughts (& hence worries) that are stuck waaaaay back there in the back of your mind..Not even necessarily
subconscious feelings... Just those things that when you look at them, you feel something negative...
It is that which is keeping one from manifesting..
I have found from my own experience that I can be as positive as humanly positive, visualize & FEEL my dreams all the time, and still not manifest.. It has been energy drains in the form of UNFINISHED business!
The book also mentions that one's financial success is 'directly linked to the extent that we keep our promises'... to others as well as to ourselves!
Amazing...
Perhaps this is old news to many of you, but I'm thrilled to see that there is a LOT that I can be working on to get my energy back to where I'm not drawn perpetually, insidiously, to the past because of unresolved situations.
Here is the book:

It would be nice to hear of anyone who has read this & it made a difference, or from anyone like me who is reading it and it seems to make sense to you!
Many blessings to you all...
