Look For The Bare Necessities

Do you remember Disneys version of the Jungle Book?

There is this bear called Baloo, who is considered to be the bum of the jungle. Now, in reality Baloo is a much laid back bear, who lives for the moment and who has fun with simple things. Come to think of it, he is a very Zen kind of guy.

In a very upbeat song, he teaches us that, once we leave our worries and strife behind and let go of pre-conceived expectations, the bare necessities of life will come to us.

He then demonstrates his principles by walking around the jungle with open arms, ready to receive and what happens? Lo and behold, melons fall in his hands, fruit appear from everywhere, trees are used to scratch his back, he is inundated with the abundance of the world and all his needs are met.

Now, what exactly is going on here?

I like to think that, allegorically, Baloo is our mind, the one that trusts in the Law of Attraction and always expects the good that is coming to us. And that is what we call alignment. When aligned with the universe, our thoughts can only manifest the good and the plenty that exists.

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed help with something and out of the blue a person shows up in your life to fulfill this very need? Have you ever had a flat tire in a freeway in the wee hours without a cell phone only to see that within 5 minutes, a police car or a highway maintenance truck passes by and stops to give you a hand? Have you been undecided about something or in crisis and in need of spiritual or moral support and suddenly you best friend calls you to tell you exactly what you need to hear?2239

That and more mean to be in alignment. Alignment is when you know for a fact that God provides, or if you prefer, the Universe provides for all your needs.

You go on about life knowing that the world is incredibly abundant and that there is always enough for you to use, share, and spare, be it money, water, gas, food, air, love, beauty. You know that no matter what happens to you, it is all good because it comes from universal love.

You know that there is nothing you cannot do, be, or have. You know that every situation you find yourself in is an opportunity to grow in spirit. You know you can manifest everything your heart truly desires. You know that the more you give the more you will receive. You know that your positive thoughts bring about positive manifestations.

You know you can relax and chill out. Because it is after all your world and your universe and the goodness of it all will only work wonders to fulfill your every need. You know that you are a beloved child of God, to whom all things are possible.

So do as Baloo: forget about your worries and strife. Open your arms to receive the abundance of this magnificent Universe of ours.
