In the meditation for Day 8, we practice Acceptance of what is. I will explain a little bit. In his book,
the Surrender Experiment, Michael A. Singer narrates how he built a massive business empire from
surrendering to and accepting whatever showed up. From homelessness, Michael began to
experience synchronicity after another: strangers knocked at his door seeking accommodation and
what would start off as accommodation for one night would end up a permanent living arrangement
until he built a housing estate; what started off as a small meditation class with no teaching plan
became a vibrant practice with many members and what started as an interest in personal
computers became a massive corporate with many customers. He resisted nothing, just accepted
and surrendered to what is.
As we look back to the completion of a week of our practice, can we revisit the meditations for Days
2 and 3 and further remove negativity, especially where we tend to judge and think some things are
bad, or poor or evil. Rather than dwell on these negative facades, why don’t we look on what good
these experiences carry for us.
Can we call our practice for today “Acceptance of what is”? Can we call it “living in the flow of life” as
Michael Singer calls it. When we live in the flow of life, we take whatever comes our way. We accept
it fully and completely. We do not give it names or labels. We take everything as great for us-lessons
placed in our path or things meant for our growth. Rather than ask why? Or why me? Why don’t we
learn from now on to examine everything and take lessons we need to learn from them and move
own. We do that with joy, without judgement. We consider that everything, everyone and every
experience and every challenge that comes in our path is for our highest good. We rejoice and are
thankful for our growth, for the lessons and for the abundance hidden in these experiences,
regardless how ugly they look.
We learn to accept when we can observe what is without judging. So today we sit with ourselves and
observe every sensation and every feeling in our bodies. Do not spend any time on anything. Just
observe and move on.
When we go through life thinking that what we are experiencing is “bad” for us that is what suffering
means. When we accept everything, we are happy despite outward appearances. Acceptance brings
peace of mind.
This meditation is particularly beneficial if you are moving in nature where it is safe to use your
peripheral vision. Just walk and do not respond to anything, do not label anything, do not spend time
on any object. Just observe and move on.
So for our meditation today, let us close our eyes (unless you are in nature where you keep your
eyes open) and declare: “today I accept what is without judgement”.
Can you sit for several minutes just observing the feelings and sensations in your body. Don’t react
to anything. Do not judge anything. Do not resist anything. Do not adjust to become more
comfortable. Do not scratch that itch. Don’t label anything. Just observe.
I will remind you at various points to just observe without judgement
Can we now express gratitude for our capacity to accept what is. We express gratitude for the
lessons in all our experiences. We express gratitude that all the experiences we have are for our
highest good.

Understanding Abundance Day 7
Download the audio here.
Today we repeat the relaxation exercise we did yesterday. When we are fully relaxed we ask the universe itself, God to teach us abundance.
You might find this practice most beneficial while lying on your back with the back straight, feet apart with the heels almost touching. Place your hands on your chest or allow them to rest on the sides with palms facing upwards
Gently close your eyes.
Before we go into relaxation let’s hand the fruits of this practice to the supreme. “I hand the fruits of this practice back to the Almighty, wholly, completely and unconditionally for the benefit of all humanity.”
In this first part of the relaxation you can move around to adjust your position to be sure you are fully relaxed.
Here we go: place your 100 Per cent attention on the toes of your left foot. Mentally tell each toe to relax. Move slowly down the left foot and then up the left leg, feeling each muscle and telling it to relax, up to the knee and the thighs. Tell every muscle to relax. Now your left leg is fully relaxed. Take time to note the difference between the left and right legs.
Now move to the toes of the right foot. Allow yourself to feel all the sensations on each toe and down the right foot to the heel, mentally telling each muscle to relax. Take your focus up your calf muscle, and through the whole leg past your knee to the thigh. Now both your legs are fully relaxed
Place your attention on the fingers of the left arm and up the forearm front and back right up to the left shoulder. To the right arm and place your full attention on the toes, the palm of the hand, the wrist, all all the way up to the shoulder, telling each muscle to relax. Relax your buttocks, your perineum, sexual organs and the pelvic bone. Relax you tummy and your back and your chest. Relax your head and face and slightly open your eyes for a few second.
Now gently close your eyes and place your attention on the chest. Breath into the chest. Call up a warm feeling of compassion to your heart and as you breathe in, breathe compassion into your heart. As you breathe out, give compassion to each cell of your body. Do this for a minute.
Continue to breathe compassion into your heart and this time as you breath out, breathe compassion into the room where you are including everything and everyone in the room with you. Do this for a minute.
Continue to breath compassion in to your heart and to the whole house and everything and everyone in the house on your out breath.
Breath compassion into your heart and out to your neighbourhood and everyone and everything in it. Give compassion to in to your heart and out to your city including everyone and everything especially those in this abundance group.
Breath compassion into your heart and out to the whole earth including everyone and everything. Breathe in compassion and out through the whole universe to infinity.
For the next few minutes I will leave you to breathe compassion in through your chest and as you breath out, consider compassion for yourself, everyone, everything and every event in the past ten years alternating with the next ten years until you get to your time of birth and an equal number of years into the future.
Can you now breath compassion into your heart and out a hundred years in future and 100 years before your birth. Give compassion to everyone, everything and every event in this era. I will leave you to go back and forth into the past and future to an infinite number of years.
Repeat after me, “I am all time, all space all things and one with all” open your eyes briefly and as you close them, make no movements from now on.
Mentally sit or bow before the universe, whatever it means to you and ask it to teach you more about abundance. You may ask the Angels or Ascended masters to help you with this. You may throw the questions out there and the universe who knows all your thoughts will answer, now or during your day. Ask what part you can play to ensure your abundance is distributed fairly for the good of everything, and everyone in the universe until infinity.
Wait patiently for the answers. Remember to bring your mind back to a receptive posture each time it wonders. Do not sleep. Put all your attention in the centre of your brain. To help with this place all your focus between the ears and just below the eye level. I will leave you to listen for answers from the universe for the next few minutes. Look out for sudden Flow of ideas, deep inner knowing, words repeating in your head, images or a voice now or any time later.
Can you thank the universe and repeat this affirmation, now and to everyone and everything you meet anyone or anything from where you receive some insights into abundance, “thank you for teaching me abundance”
Be open to receiving such insights. Record into your journal the lessons you have learnt about abundance during the meditation and if you wish, share your insights with the group. At the end of the day, record any insights you got regarding abundance from things, people, written words, adverts, songs, everywhere and record them into your journal. You may share these insights with the group if you wish.
Namaste.

Understanding Abundance Day 5
You can listen to the guided meditation here.
Today we will observe abundance in nature. We end the meditation with a practice of gratitude from our firm belief that by making an intention and releasing it to the Almighty, our wish has already been granted. We open our hearts to receiving abundance and live in expectancy without expectation.
(If you have any difficulty understanding this please contact me privately and I will be happy to discuss this seeming oxymoron.)
Now imagine how nature gives. Have you noticed that when it produces anything, it tends to do so in excess? Have you watched those programs on TV where they show shoals of millions of fish swimming in oceans, or have you had the privilege of going under water and seeing the different species of water plants, and sea life making a wonderful display of colour beauty and abundance, or do you sometimes wonder how many birds there are in a flock flying over you and how God has created them in such large numbers? When nature gives, it gives abundantly.
As we begin our meditation for day 5 of the Understanding Abundance challenge, I would like you to consider your own experience and examples of how nature gives lavishly.
Sit or lie down in a comfortable place and consider everywhere in nature where you have observed such abundance. Take your time to do so.
Lift your heart to the Highest Being and state: “thank you for revealing to me that you meant for me and all creation to live in lavish abundance. From my own limited thinking and that of my forefathers before me, with our uncontrolled thoughts of competition, lack, and scarcity we have made ourselves less than you meant us to be. Today I claim back the abundance meant for me and share it with all humanity. By the realisation of one being of how powerful you made us, humanity will learn and become powerful once more. I am grateful to be taking part in this practice”
Now I get my daily lesson on abundance from a tree that I imagine, that is planted on fertile soil beside a river. Take a moment to meditate on this tree with me—as a symbol of abundance in your chosen area.
Can you place your hands on you heart and call into your mind a tree planted upon a such a stream.
Starting with the roots, observe how they sink deep into the ground and produce a solid, sturdy trunk that no amount of wind can shake. Imagine how this tree is constantly nourished and provided by mother earth. Can you take a moment to see yourself as this tree, firmly anchored into the ground, supported, provided for and natured by Mother Nature?
Say with me “I am sorry for having wasted so many years in lack. Abundance is mine and I am grateful for such a gift”
Can you picture this tree once more. Notice how much it has grown. Notice how it is evergreen regardless of year, season or day. This is what your life was meant to be, you were meant never to get sick or go hungry or lack in any way. Notice how much life this tree supports with its cover, fruit, leaves, bark and yet it continues to grow and display abundant health. This is a symbol of how much you can give to others.
Can you imagine all the birds that have built nests and given birth to more life on the tree? Can you imagine the multitude of insects and butterflies flying around in happiness. Imagine the bees producing great tasting honey from its flowers. Notice small animals playing happily around this tree eating its fruit. Watch the bigger animals chasing them for food. Imagine other plants, parasites maintaining life from this one tree.
Consider how this goes on for years and years and the tree grows bigger and bigger until it touches the sky.
Can you state “surely my cup overflows”
Whatever you call this power, this intelligence, this Creator, isn’t it an amazing force? Isn’t it wonderful?
Can you spend a few moments expressing gratitude in your own way- dancing shouting , sitting or carrying on with the meditation and thanksgiving. When you are done, stretch, open your eyes and take this expression of gratitude into the rest of your day.

Understanding Abundance Day 4
You can listen to the guided meditation here.
On day 4 of the understanding abundance challenge we seek to expand our awareness of abundance by recalling people who have shown abundance in different areas of life. We also revisit the areas where we would like to attract abundance and build specific pictures of some of the things we would like to attract in 2020.
Here is today’s practice.
Stretch as slowly as possible. For example, you can circle your head clockwise. Take a full minute to complete a full circle. Then circle it the other way and taking a full minute to go full circle. Stretch any other areas that need stretching and as you do so, yawn at least five times. Take time to do this.
Sit comfortably or lie down and watch the flow of your breath.
State once and boldly, meaning every word:
“Today I learn abundance from people placed in my path. I had the fruits of this practice wholly and completely to the Supreme Intelligence for the benefit of all humanity. I also claim a clear wish for 2020 and release it into the infinite depths of abundance where it came from, without any attachment”
Focus on your heart centre, let your hands rest on your chest and as you do: Imagine all the people whom you know and who remind you of abundance in any area of life. Some examples are:
A couple who remind you of the abundance of love from the way they talk, look at each other and hold their hands.
A mother holding her child adorably for having made a small achievement, and saying the most adorable things—reflecting abundance of love and appreciation.
Somebody who has wealth in abundance
Someone with an abundance of patience, kindness, peace, power, confidence, what you might call luck, health and vitality, friends, joy, joy, patience—you name it. Ask your heart to let them come through your consciousness.
Continue to focus on your heart.
Now imagine them receiving these gifts from one source, an inexhaustible source.
Ask your hear to reveal this source to you.
Imagine that this source is accessible to you. You do not have to do anything. You do not have to be special or do anything special. This source requires you to only set a firm intention and Release it, never worry about it anymore. This source knows when and how to provide you with all your needs. It has kept you alive, breathing air into your lungs and digesting your food without your conscious effort or any help from you. Take time to reflect on this from your heart.
Now revisit your chosen area of abundance. Can you set an intention for 2020–just one thing that will happen among all the abundance of things you wish for. Ask your heart for guidance.
If you would like to lose weight, what size clothes would you like to fit into? Is there an amount of cash you would like to earn? Or do you just want to be able to pay all your bills without effort, do you want to fall in love again—this could be with your current partner or someone new, live it all up to the source of infinite abundance to decide. Take your time to think about this.
Can you repeat, meaning every word: “I am grateful that all my wishes are met. Today I feel abundance and my wish being fulfilled above and beyond my expectations”
Think of a good feeling, any feeling, it doesn’t have to have anything to do with your intention—just a great feeling. Can you experience this feeling from your heart. Can you feel a great warm in your heart. If you cry, let yourself cry out of joy, amazed at how much love this great source of abundance can give. In fact it’s essence is love. It is love. Experience it, let it visit you in this moment.

Understanding Abundance Day 3
You can listen to the guided meditation here.
Today we will continue from where we left yesterday. We are still making ourselves ready as channels and vessels for the flow of abundance into our lives and the lives of those around us. When we finish the exercise for today we will have identified and removed all areas in our lives where negativity exists. Negativity blocks the flow of positive energy and therefore the flow of abundance.
Exercise
Today’s exercise and meditation will be combined into one activity. The meditation will therefore be active and open-eyed.
We begin by taking a few deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Let us lift our hearts and offer the fruits of this practice to the Supreme Intelligence for the benefit of all humanity past present and future and wherever and in whatever form it exists.
Repeat three times: “Today I intend to clear my energy field of all negativity but as I do so, I detach myself from all outcomes of this practice. I therefore offer the fruits of this practice to the Supreme Being—God for the benefit of all humanity. I wish abundance to all sentient beings wherever they exist. So be it”
Now, with laser focus on your heart centre, visualise a bright white light extending from the heart centre and extending into every cell of your body. Ask the Supreme Intelligence “help me and guide me to clear my aura of any negative energy, and to suspend all judgements of things, people, places and events. Surround me with your light of protection as I remove all negative forces from my life. Help me transmute them into love and send them back to their origin, deleting and clearing any negative karma I accumulated”
Picture any negativity bubbling up and then disappearing into nothingness.
In your journal, make a list of all the people around whom you feel uncomfortable for whatever reason. Those who push your buttons and those who present any personal challenges that take abundance from your life. They may be anybody including loved ones, spouses, children or in-laws, friends, bosses at work, neighbours or people with whom you commute to work everyday. Take your time to list as many as you can.
Address the Supreme Intelligence as follows: “I know that people in my life are there to teach me lessons of life and to fulfil karmic contracts. I take any lessons I have learnt and bless these people from now on. Help me to accept these people fully and unreservedly. Help me learn any more lessons left for me to learn joyously. I clear all channels for the flow of abundance into my life by blessing all”
Take time to bless all the people you have listed, mentioning them by name.
If there are people involved in the challenges we identified on day 1, can you list them as well. Would you say a prayer for each one of them them “you played your part in allowing me to learn what I needed to learn as part of my challenge. I thank you for that and now bless you. I claim abundance from the infinite source into your life. Now I let you go”
Take time to picture them receive abundance and the part of them that caused you pain or discomfort disappear.
Next, take time to identify things that you feel are less than acceptable to you. Write them down—these are things you usually criticise, complain about, faults you see in yourself and others, pains in your body, the shape of your body, lips or whatever makes you feel inadequate.
Can you see these faults vanish? Can you learn to see the beauty in imperfections? God who created them is perfect. Can you imagine how perfect He meant them to be? Would you apologise for finding fault in His creation? Repeat after me the affirmation of today:
“From now on I see only perfection around me. I see God in all things, therefore I see only perfection. The world I see is a reflection of my internal state. Today I notice that I am perfect and therefore everything and everyone in the world is perfect”
Can you spend a few moments looking around you and seeing only perfection from your heart. Appreciate everything around you, the air you breathe, the chair you are sitting in and the support it gives you, the floor or ground you are standing on. As you do so, feel the flow of abundance in and out of your life and bless everything your eyes rest on.
Repeat after me:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for being a part of my world”.
Today we will continue from where we left yesterday. We are still making ourselves ready as channels and vessels for the flow of abundance into our lives and the lives of those around us. When we finish the exercise for today we will have identified and removed all areas in our lives where negativity exists. Negativity blocks the flow of positive energy and therefore the flow of abundance.

If there are people involved in the challenges we identified on day 1, can you list them as well. Would you say a prayer for each one of them them “you played your part in allowing me to learn what I needed to learn as part of my challenge. I thank you for that and now bless you. I claim abundance from the infinite source into your life. Now I let you go”
Take time to picture them receive abundance and the part of them that caused you pain or discomfort disappear.
Next, take time to identify things that you feel are less than acceptable to you. Write them down—these are things you usually criticise, complain about, faults you see in yourself and others, pains in your body, the shape of your body, lips or whatever makes you feel inadequate.
Can you see these faults vanish? Can you learn to see the beauty in imperfections? God who created them is perfect. Can you imagine how perfect He meant them to be? Would you apologise for finding fault in His creation? Repeat after me the affirmation of today:
“From now on I see only perfection around me. I see God in all things, therefore I see only perfection. The world I see is a reflection of my internal state. Today I notice that I am perfect and therefore everything and everyone in the world is perfect”
Can you spend a few moments looking around you and seeing only perfection from your heart. Appreciate everything around you, the air you breathe, the chair you are sitting in and the support it gives you, the floor or ground you are standing on. As you do so, feel the flow of abundance in and out of your life and bless everything your eyes rest on.
Repeat after me:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for being a part of my world”.
Understanding Abundance Day 2
Abundance is an energy that either flows to us or away from us. As an energy, it either increases in its quality and intensity in the presence of other energies, by the principle of resonance. We are channels and vessels for the flow of energy and certainly for the flow of abundance.
If we allow abundance to flow freely in our lives, it increases in both intensity and quality and comes to us through synchronicities.
Some of the most common causes of blockages of the flow of energy in our lives are anger, resentment, guilt, jealousy and envy. A feeling of victim hood keeps us holding onto grudges and past errors of others who we believe did something to us. However, I have come to learn that it is all about me and how I judge situations. The pain I thought other people caused me in most cases was due to my own labels that I put on their actions.
One lesson I have learnt from Neale Donald Walsh was that everything people have ever done was an expression of love. It might have been wrongly expressed, interpreted or received and that gave rise to conflict, but underneath there was only love.
Exercise for today
Today we would like to open ourselves as channels for abundance through forgiveness.
First allow yourself to become very comfortable and then breathe slowly and deeply twenty one times, in through the nose and out through the mouth into the heart centre. Allow your mind to become very still. Raise your heart to the Highest Being, the Supreme Intelligence-God, and declare “In this practice I intend to give and experience forgiveness. This will help me open myself as a channel and container for the flow of abundance into my life and for blessing others around me. I hand the fruits of this practice wholly, completely and unconditionally to the Supreme Intelligence for the benefit of all humanity”
In that state invite the following categories of people to show up in your subconscious and either forgive them or ask for forgiveness from them. Just sit still, imagining them as pure and perfect souls, spirit, and pure energy that is present here with you right now. Make an open invitation for friends, family, strangers—people who are still alive or have passed on for them to show up in each category.
Those who interpreted what you did or did not do for them as errors against them including those who expected you to behave in a certain way and felt you let them down. Let them express what you did wrong if they wish. Keep listening or watching for these souls or pure spirit to express their pain and anger for “what you did” until they stop showing up in your consciousness. Also scan your conscience for any feelings of guilt, genuine or imagined. Ask the people concerned for their forgiveness, stating “I am sorry to have wronged you, knowingly or unknowingly, in reality or imagined. Please forgive me so that you and I can open the flow of abundance into our lives. I have nothing but unconditional love for you and I thank you for letting go of me for what I have done against you and accept that all the negative energy between us has been transmuted into pure love and abundance.” Sit for a while watching any more guilt you may have felt or unknowingly kept in your life for any wrong you thought you had done, being forgiven and evaporating from your life. Declare “I release any feelings of guilt I may have kept within me and transmute these into love for all concerned” Open your heart to receive and give love.
For everyone who has done something “against you” ask your subconscious mind to reveal them to you and what they did or didn’t do. Forgive them, clearly stating: “I forgive you and release you so that I can experience the flow of abundance in my life fully and completely. I bless you and transmute any negative energy that I accumulated against you, into love. I declare that I love you truly and completely. I invite the Supreme Intelligence to help me forgive those I still find hard to forgive. I let you go”. Feel unconditional love for them from your heart and take a moment to experience that love from your heart.
For the next few moments experience the opening of you heart to receive and contain all the abundance you wish to invite into your life in 2020. Remember your intention and the feeling that receiving the abundance gives you. Can you experience this feeling from you heart and keep doubling it, allowing it to flow outwardly from your heart to every cell of your body? Smile and you may open your eyes.
Affirmation for today: I am a free channel and open container for the flow of abundance into my life and the lives of those I touch.
Write down in your journal any insights you might have had concerning forgiveness and abundance including any difficulties in forgiving or receiving forgiveness. If you need any help especially around forgiveness please do not hesitate to contact me privately.

Understanding Abundance Day 1
Happy New Year!!!
While driving to Almere for another dance event, the open road invited me to think about 'Abundance'.
A fish, in the ocean, is it aware of the vastness of the waters around it?
Is it aware of the all Abundance that exist for it?
What would it need to do, to become aware of that Abundance?
And furthermore, why is it not undertaking any action to achieve this awareness?
Then I replaced 'fish' with 'me' and 'ocean' with 'world'.
Mind. Is. Blown. Away....
Fast-forward to this morning, we just received the first guided meditation from Chris in the Abundance group chat and I just completed it.
As the guidences begins, Chris tells us to feel the centre of our chest and to offer everything to the Supreme Being... it's at this moment that my heart exploded with joy and excitement. It's this feeling I'm taking out of this experience. 💓
You can listen to the guided meditation here.
“Today I claim back my right to live in abundance”
Opening my eyes to see a new world... 🙏
PS:
Since my divorce almost 10years ago, I have had a placeholder in my calendar for the week my children were supposed to be at my place.
I just removed that placeholder.
Suddenly my calendar, and thus my time, looks open for more possibilities without having to comprimise my connection to my children...
Abundance baby!

Joining the Understanding Abundance Family
Out of our Ayahuasca group a new group emerged to focus on Abundance.
The message was this:
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A BROADCAST MESSAGE.
Hi. It’s Chris here. I am doing an experiment to see if it is true that when two or more people place their attention on something (Good for all) it will happen.
I need your help to prove this is true. I would like us all to have one New Years resolution for 2020. I know this is not possible as we all have different wishes. What if we replaced all our New Year’s resolutions with something which we all seek: Abundance.
This could be Abundance in anything including abundance of cash, customers if you run a business, health if you are sick, love, friends if you are lonely—you name it...
Let’s make it beyond our our control except to think about it joyfully as if it has already happened—giving it a little attention for a few minutes daily for 21 days and see what happens.
This is how you can help me:
1. Set aside only 21 (or 3 if 21 iOS too much—3 is 2+1) minutes a day for 21 days (or a minimum of 3 days—again 2+1=3).
2. During those 21 (or 3) minutes you think about abundance in the area you have chosen. If you are willing to help me reply Yes and I will add you to the group which I will call Understanding Abundance.
3. I will send you a daily exercise to do during those 21 minutes each day.
4. It is important that we all begin on 1st January 2020 so let me know if you are interested before the end of day on 31 December 2019.
5. Whatever you chose to get more of must be personal— don’t share with anybody what you wish to attract even me.
6. When you finish the exercise just send a ✅ to the group. That’s it.
7. If you are interested please send me a tick ✅ before 1 January and I will add you to the group.
8. On 22 January 2020 send a ✅ to the group if you have done the exercises for the full 21 days.
9. At any time during the 21 days or Later In the year feel free to send a tick ✅ to the group if you start getting your wishes in abundance—only if you wish to share.
10. Feel free to let me know if you decide to be removed from the group at any time during or after the 21 days
Setting my intention:
My intention for 2020 is to experience what it means to have abundant love, luck, gratitude, confidence, joy and to reinforce this intention I will feel what it means to give and receive unconditional love, luck, gratitude, confidence and joy.

Honorring the Kambo tradition
It's been about a month since our first Kambo ceremony and tradition requires a 2nd visit.
So here we are, ready to do the work.
I have to admit, this time was very different and it felt a degree harder to go through.
Especially on the moment I felt the medicin rush inside my system.
That's when all memories of the 1st ceremony came back and I could only think "No! I don't want this!".
Ofcourse there was no way back.
Six dots in my neck took me to a twofold journey: at first the medicin 'attacked' the back of my eyes and I purged just a little bit for 3 or 4 times. My arms felt they were on ice cold fire. I struggled to remain seated upright. About 30 minntes later I was able to move myself into bed. Again 30 minutes later I was feeling a burning sensation in my belly and throat and I knew it had to get out so I drank some more water and helped myself purge in the most powerful way I ever purged.
The pulsating sensation in my face kept throbbing for a whole day.
I never felt so hungry for EVERYTHING before!
Thank you Kambo, Kris, Annick & Raf.
