Sometimes, even when you work hard and manage your money well, there still doesn’t seem to be enough of it. And sometimes, even when you pour love into the world, you just don’t seem to get enough back. It’s easy to get discouraged, but don’t. Instead, think abundantly and feel abundantly because it’s like Oprah Winfrey says: “If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” And this doesn’t just go for money, it goes for love and everything else you want to attract in your life. But how do you stay in an abundant mindset? May we suggest looking to mother nature and plants for inspiration?

Let’s discuss the positive properties of plants!
In addition to their healing properties, plants are said to help ward off negative energies and attract positive ones.

The geranium is a resilient plant. It is strong enough to endure inclement weather. It is also a beautiful plant with a lovely scent that for millennia has symbolized abundance and prosperity.

Get yourself some lucky bamboo.

Use a cactus to ward off envy.
This is so that all the good energy that you attract is not diminished by any envy around you. The spines of the cactus will absorb any bad energy that exists within your home or you bring from outside. Of course, you don’t want to put a big spiky cactus in your home where it can hurt someone, so be mindful. Place some outside of your home or a potted one indoors where it won’t hurt anyone.

You can also put some sunflower oil, three Chinese coins or any coins and write the following affirmations on small golden piece of paper: My home is prosperous, abundant, and wealth always flows to my home. Place it in the southeast area of your home. Do it on a full moon and renew it every year.
Do the fern ritual so abundance always comes from the positive energy of love.
On Friday night, light three candles next to a fern and with words or affirmations, ask for prosperity that is in balance and harmony with everyone, beyond arrogance, pride, or evil. The ritual is meant to protect you from ambitions that can blind you and prevent you from seeing that abundance and prosperity are more than success and money. The fern acts as a balance.
