For me this means that the way you live your life in all aspects is in a state of abundance and prosperity. From your breath to your thoughts to your activities, you approach your life from a place of happiness, gratitude and an abundance mindset; all of it is connected, of course, and improvement in one area affects all others. A state of prosperity, or prosperity consciousness, will help you attract more money but it is far more than that; it is an expansive, inclusive, glorious state of mind which attracts to you all manner of good. If you think money is wonderful and good, then money will be part of that attraction.

(If you have not been attracting all the financial abundance you want, you are experiencing conflicting beliefs. There are myriad ways to help with this, and you can make remarkable progress in this area. Many of these ways are detailed throughout this site and the Breathing Prosperity blog, and some of the most effective tools are detailed in the ’30 Days to Wealth’ exercises, which were gathered for just this purpose. We’ve spent years trying out programs, books, seminars, etc. and this book is the distilled version of what has worked most powerfully. For the small investment, you’ll get incredible results, plus it has comes with some excellent and exclusive bonuses! Yes, I want you to buy it, because I am passionate about this subject and know the book will help you! )

You may already be experiencing more and more that know that what you get in life results from how YOU move in the world, and that you have more control than you ever realized. At the same time, you paradoxically are learning to let go and allow the Universal energy (call the spirit of life that runs through you what you will) to flow freely to you, aligning you with your desires.

This process should include, literally, the way you breathe. Breath is a very under-discussed way in which we contribute to the formation of our reality, and for most of us there is room for improvement. It is such a fundamental part of our lives that we often forget about it entirely. If we get caught up in day-to-day busyness and forget about our breathing, leaving it on auto-pilot, we are most likely to suffer from chronic shallow breathing. Experts agree that this is a widespread problem and contributes to many physical maladies. Shallow breathing does not allow for the health-giving benefits of breath that our bodies and souls were meant to enjoy, such as moving toxins through and out of our bodies, stress relief and relaxation, and increased awareness and presence.

Heal yourself: practice deep, relaxing breaths whenever your remember throughout the day.

Abundance breathing can be compared to yogic breathing, relaxation breathing, meditative breathing, etc.. They all involve conscious, slow and deep breaths, which are not only excellent and healing for our bodies, but restore our awareness of the present moment and help us shed worries and anxiety. As we do so, we become more centered and happiness is able to trickle in…and happiness helps us attract money and abundance of all sorts.

Every little tool you have at your disposal to clear your mind, become present and increase your joy will positively affect your life in all areas, so begin your abundance breathing today and enjoy the results!

Everyone knows that having money is a sign of prosperity. There are, however, some people that have millions of dollars and are not prosperous. I understand your shock. I was shocked myself when I read in Bob Proctor’s book about millionaires who died sick, broke, alone or mad. Clearly these were not prosperous people. James Ray likes to say, "There are people who "spiritual" but they’re sick and broke all the time." I am in agreement with James. This is not prosperity either. So, what is prosperity?

I have learned over the past year that prosperity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I have a goal of having a five million dollar net worth invested with a 10% return that gives me a passive income of $500,000 a year. Someone that I know has a dream of having a net worth exceeding $400 million dollars. Is her goal to have more prosperity than I intend to have? That is a trick question to which the answer is no. Her goal is definitely to have more money than I intend to have but remember that money does not equate prosperity.
   
Do not misunderstand what I am saying about money. It may seem that I am saying that money is not important. That is the last thing that I am saying. Money is extremely important in this society. As our main tool of trade today, money is necessary for everything that you would want to do or have. Without money, you cannot even eat, which is definitely a necessity. Money is important. So since it is not all about the money, what is it about?
    
Prosperity is a mindset that allows peace of mind. We each get to define prosperity for ourselves. I choose good friends, a close family, a comfortable lifestyle and work that rocks my socks off as prosperity for me. So, I know that I am being prosperous by how my relationships feel. When I am having good conversations and lots of fun with my friends I am being prosperous. At 2 am when I need to talk and I reach out and someone is there for me, I know that I am being prosperous. Being a loyal and supportive friend and a good listener is a part of being supportive for me.
  
I am not close to my extended family, but my immediate family is my second priority. When my children are happy, healthy and bursting with joy, I know that I am being prosperous. Every day that my husband and I still love and adore each other is another day of prosperous living for me. Some of my friends are like family to me and their involvement in my life makes me feel prosperous beyond measure. I know that I am loved and I believe that love is the ultimate treasure. When you are truly loved, you are the richest person on earth.
  
What is important to you? What do you adore? What truly makes your heart sing? When you can answer those questions and then orient your life around those things, you will find that you are a truly prosperous person. What about money? The money will come. There are practical matters, such as planning, investing and wise spending habits that must be established, but real wealth comes from being in love with yourself and your life. You cannot define wealth or money in the way that anyone else has for their priorities are not your priorities. So, how do you define prosperity?

Ophelia’s take: Is That Really Prosperity or Just Plain Lazy?!

My prosperity partner wrote an article “Defining Prosperity for Myself” and now I’m writing the opposing view, “Defining Prosperity – Is That Really Prosperity or Just Plain Lazy?!”

In the article she writes “I have learned over the past year that prosperity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I have a goal of having a five million dollar net worth invested with a 10 % return that gives me a passive income of $500,000 a year. Someone that I know has a dream of having a net worth exceeding $400 million dollars. Is her goal to have more prosperity than I intend to have? That is a trick question to which the answer is no. Her goal is definitely to have more money than I intend to have but remember that
money does not equate prosperity.” Of course I take massive pride in the fact that I am the someone she knows who has the goal of a net worth exceeding $400 million dollars!

The article goes on to say “I am not close to my extended family, but my immediate family is my second priority. When my children are happy, healthy and bursting with joy, I know that I am being prosperous. Every day that my husband and I still love and adore each other is another day of prosperous living for me. Some of my friends are like family to me and their involvement in my life makes me feel prosperous beyond measure. I know that I am loved and I believe that love is the ultimate treasure. When you are truly loved, you are the richest person on earth.”

Man that was a mouthful – So now I ask you is that truly prosperity or just plain lazy! Since when does being prosperous involve how others feel and interact with you? So does that mean one isn’t prosperous if all the friends left and the children are unhappy and your spouse decided to not have 2am conversations with you and NO ONE loved you? That is her measure of prosperity isn’t it? So you remove all those things and the prosperity is now gone right!

The world is filled with creative energy and while I’m all for the concept that everyone is entitled to whatever they want, and that we should allow each person to want whatever makes them happy… I’m
also for the concept that most people in society don’t aim very high because they are afraid of failure. Now to have enough creative energy to create or attract 5 million dollars – anyone can do that. But how much creative energy does it take to attract or create $400 million?

We grow up in an environment where we set the bar really low on what we can or will achieve – JUST IN CASE if we don’t make it we won’t feel so bad. Most people in society want nothing more than a 9-5 and to
retire with a 401k.

You know I’ve been saying for years I want to be on the Forbes 400 richest Americans list and in all that time that I say this I have never heard anyone say “REALLY? ME TOO!”

Now could that be that’s just way too far up on the tree for most people to reach for, and the apples on the lower branches are easier to get to (apples on the lower branches are also rotten and touched a lot by
a multitude of people not wanting to climb higher). We grow up hearing how love is true wealth – Who fed us this diet of foolishness, and the person who fed us this diet – are they truly prosperous?

Don’t get it twisted, people – Stop finding excuses to cover up your not wanting to reach for the sky. Go ahead and say it: ‘I’m too lazy to actually want a huge boatload of money and I don’t really believe I can have it anyway – because for me to want a huge boatload of money would entail me actually trying at something and maybe I’ll fall flat on my face.

So I ask is it truly prosperity or is it just plain lazy?
