The Gift of Scarcity - How to Find Balance between Scarcity & Abundance

Today we are going to be talking about the gift of scarcity 
What is scarcity? A definition that comes to mind for me is, anything that we feel we are lacking for an extended period of time; something we don’t have access to.
This could be money, love, housing, self-confidence, etc. 
But what I want to talk about today is not about making scarcity a problem, but rather how to find the gift within it. 
I want to reassure you that exploring acceptance of this topic has the potential of guiding you directly to a unique solution. But the only way is through understanding of it and coming out the other side with a fresh perspective. 
 
If you’ve been a part of the LOA or Abraham Hicks community for a long time then you’re probably familiar with the topic of contrast. Contrast and scarcity are one and the same. Whatever contrast you face in any given moment is rooted in scarcity, whatever scarcity you face in any given moment is rooted in contrast. 
The contrast or the scarcity one faces at any given time can be seen as a compass which can guide you directly to what it is that you are truly wanting and asking the universe for. But most of us rarely dive into it deeply enough to understand why it’s there. 
You see this happening in the world currently surrounding money and finances, because the world is being triggered into what Eckhart Tolle has called “a collective pain body”.  
The problem with large pain points like this is how easy it is to feed into them because there is so much evidence to support it. It would be out of touch to say otherwise. 
But the gift of scarcity is not in making a home within it. It is using it as a guiding light to deeper clarity and finding balance between scarcity and abundance.
The trick here is about overcoming avoidance. Most of us don’t realize that in avoiding understanding our scarcity mindsets, or any topic that feels difficult or uncomfortable, we are also rejecting and avoiding its opposite as well. 
Why is that? Because we came here to experience everything. Any given topic always has 2 ends of the spectrum. The negative end of the spectrum and the positive end of the spectrum. 
Think of it like breathing, we wouldn’t be breathing without the exhale but we would panic if that's all we believed existed. 
When it comes to the things that feel scarce to us, it is only because we are focusing on 1 end of the spectrum and feeling completely detached from the other. 
The anger, the rage, the anxiety, the sadness, or anything else that comes with the scarcity, the contrast, the dissatisfaction, it’s all valid, allowed, and dare I say necessary. It's just not meant to be the only thing we experience.  
We have been told for far too long that avoiding our negative emotions is the way to manifest. 
But we didn’t come here to dissociate from emotions that feel unpleasant, we came here for the human experience and that means both ends of the stick exist at the same time. 
When we accept that scarcity exists, we are better prepared to accept that abundance exists as well and even simultaneously and when we can accept both we can then consciously move into a place where balance can be created. 
This is the gift of scarcity. 
In terms of money we can see what happens when we lean too far to the end which is abundance while avoiding scarcity - we end up with greed, billionaires, a housing market rooted in complete selfishness and lack of care for the people it hurts the most. 
Or when scarcity is leaned on too much while abundance feels out of touch, we end up with poverty, job shortages, and allowing people on the other end of the spectrum to drain our resources while feeling powerless to do anything about it. 
 Until we accept that both ends can exist and MUST exist simultaneously, there can be no balance. 
Most people become trapped within scarcity but all that's happening in these moment is we are actually believing more in scarcity than we are in abundance. We’re simply out of balance. 
The mind has a tricky way of preventing us from seeking solution when we’re stuck in these places, typically by making us believe that there is no solution or that the solution will fail. We then either ignore our desires all together or have a hopelessness attached to them.
What if I told you that I believe that a solution can only come for solving dissatisfaction by wanting our desire even in the face of evidence that says it's not possible. 
Change can only come when we allow scarcity or the lack of something to exist without allowing lack to serve as a desire smothering aspect. 
This isn’t delusion, this is creation.
Creation always begins with lack. 
There is a lack of solution because there is a lack of people who are letting themselves desire anyway. 
The gift of scarcity is the gift of innovation, the gift to desire something new, something that we haven’t seen before, or that we never thought was possible. 
& innovation can only be born through allowing desire to exist, even while the world around us is screaming that it’s not possible.
It is, we just haven’t allowed ourselves to open to the solution yet.

Start Here - A Fresh Start to Intuition Academy

Hello, and welcome back to Intuition Academy!
If you’ve been here for a while, you will probably notice that the podcast looks a little different than it has for the past two years.
I have been recording Intuition Academy since the Summer of 2021 at the very early stages of my business. I was deep in the trial and error process of the work while recording then. Most of my episodes were off the cuff and had little structure and I had a tendency to use the podcast as more of a journal than a teaching opportunity or a way to showcase my creations 
Which leads to where we are now.
I found that my previous episodes were completely unrelated to the work that I do now within my business. It felt messy, unorganized, and like it didn’t showcase my work. That led me to desiring a complete rebrand, if you will. 
I actually thought for a time that I would delete this podcast all together and I would focus my energy somewhere else, but the only thing that flowed with ease was deleting every episode, not deleting the podcast all together. 
Before moving on, I do want to say that if you’re interested in Intuition Academy's old, original episodes, you are free to purchase them in bulk. Check the show notes down below for my email address or send me a DM on Instagram if you’re interested in purchasing the old episodes; the bulk purchase will not include any client sessions that I had previously recorded. 
So, here we are. A new chapter in my professional life is unfolding before my eyes. I feel that I am no longer in the discovery or trial and error phase within my business, at least around the conceptualization of my specialties. I have deep clarity on the work that I am meant to teach and I feel very motivated to share it. 
The new phase of Intuition Academy is going to be based on integration, alchemy, emotional regulation, manifestation techniques from a fresh, more practical perspective, we’re going to look at the marriage of self-discipline and surrender and how to find a balance between the two, we’re going to talk about the importance of presence, inspired action, how to tap into creative energy, and more than anything - we’ll be talking about desire. If these topics sound interesting to you, then you my friend are in the right place. 
I am also currently writing a book proposal and I am hoping to be published soon. The book is all about the topics that I will be covering in this podcast. 
Thank you so much for being here, I am so excited to be back in a more structured and consistent way. If you have any questions or topics that you’re interested in hearing from, feel free to reach out and I will gladly take your requests into consideration. 
If you are interested in showing me support in the writing of my book or in the recording of this podcast please subscribe, leave a review, or contribute financially. You can follow the link in the show notes to send me a donation.
