Attracting Abundance, the Aura Way

Gloria had a PhD student come into her office one day. He had been trying to figure out a solution to a complex engineering problem. He looked tired but full of energy.

"I haven't figured it out," he said. "I stayed up late last night composing an album of love songs for my girlfriend."

"And before I fell asleep, I was working on this maths textbook I've been wanting to write for children… because maths can be so epic when it's taught in a fun, engaging way."

"And then I remembered I needed to submit these documents for my shiatsu business that I'm building."

"So yeah… I didn't get to my paper yet."

Gloria's mouth was hanging open at this point… where did this guy get such an abundance of energy to put into so many wonderful projects? Most of the PhD students she saw were exhausted just by trying to keep up, and had zero time for side projects… Many of them were pale from lack of sunlight and nutrition and if they had romantic partners, they were struggling to give their relationships much time or energy.

You might have dreams of what you'd like to accomplish and abundance you'd like to create, but you're also just bogged down by what you're going to eat for dinner, how to get through your work day and how long til you can numb out on the couch with your favorite series.

Real abundance, the kind that transforms your life from the inside out, is far more powerful than a bank statement. It's the experience of living fully expressed, aligned with your soul's purpose, and magnetizing opportunities, people, and experiences that resonate with who you truly are.

Gloria was nervous to ask this PhD student… but she couldn't keep her curiosity to herself. How did he have the energy to give to all these projects?

He told her he had been working with his Aura.

So what is your Aura?

Your Aura is your energetic signature. It's the field that surrounds your body, and lives inside it as well.

Your Aura is highly functional. It is an engine of wisdom, protection, and direction. When it's nourished and active, it becomes a magnetic force. When it's dim, depleted, or clouded… life feels like an uphill climb. You know that feeling: everything takes effort and you feel like you're doing all the right things and getting nowhere.

When you activate, nourish and maintain your Aura, something remarkable happens: abundance doesn't just become possible, it becomes natural.

It's not a manifestation hack, an affirmation or hustling harder. Just look at that PhD student — he wasn't grinding through a to-do list on caffeine and willpower. He was working with something else entirely.

Step One: Activate

Activation is the spark. It's the moment you shift from living on autopilot to becoming aware of your own energy.

You can begin activating your Aura through time in nature, creative expression, living with more greenery around you, reducing your exposure to radiation and technological noise. Going back to what's organic, what's alive, what's real. Your Aura is always there. But a suppressed Aura is like a sleeping giant. Powerful beyond measure, just not yet awake.

That's really the question Gloria couldn't shake: how does a sleeping giant wake up mid-PhD, when everyone around him was running on fumes? He'd found a spark somewhere. She just didn't know where yet.

Step Two: Nourish

Now, activation without nourishment is like lighting a fire and walking away. It will go out.

Nourishing your Aura means feeding it with things that elevate your frequency:

·  Clean food and water, because your body is the vessel your energy flows through

·  Positive environments, spaces that feel light, open, and inspiring

·  Uplifting relationships, supportive people who reflect back your brightness, not diminish it

·  Creative practice, anything that lets your soul express itself freely

·  Boundaries, protecting your Aura from energy drains and negativity

Think of nourishment as ongoing maintenance. Just as a plant needs regular watering, your Aura thrives on consistent, loving attention.

It's worth noting that this PhD student wasn't skipping sleep because he was manic or overextended — he'd drawn boundaries around whatever usually drains a person in his position (the politics, the doom-scrolling, the busywork) so that his energy had somewhere better to go: love songs, a children's textbook, a business he actually believed in.

I'll ask you the question I ask myself every morning: Am I feeding my energy today, or am I draining it?

That one question can redirect the entire trajectory of your life.

Step Three: Follow Its Guidance

Once your Aura is activated, here comes the next step. Learning to work with it and get her messages clearly.

Your Aura is wise. She knows things your conscious mind hasn't yet articulated. When activated, she communicates through intuition. Gut feelings. Synchronicities. Physical sensations.

Following its guidance means trusting those signals, even when they don't immediately make logical sense. Maybe your Aura nudges you toward a conversation. A new project. Or a decision to rest when the entire world is screaming "work harder."

Think about it from the outside: a PhD student, deadline looming, spends the night writing love songs, sketching a children's maths textbook, and filing paperwork for a shiatsu business — anything but the actual paper. From the outside, that might look like procrastination. But he wasn't running from his work. He was following whatever had the most life in it, moment to moment, and trusting that the paper would come when it was ready to.

This inner knowing is usually not random. It's your energy field reading the environment and aligning you with what serves your highest good. And the more you learn to work with it, the stronger and clearer it becomes.

The question is: are you willing to trust and learn how to work with something you can't see, can't measure, can't put in a spreadsheet?

Because that's where the breakthroughs live.

And Then… the Ripple

Here's where it gets extraordinary. When you activate, nourish and follow the guidance of your Aura, a cascade begins.

Creativity awakens. As your energy clears and rises, you tap into a flow of ideas, inspiration, and creative problem-solving that felt blocked before. You begin to see possibilities where you once saw walls. This is exactly what Gloria saw in that office — a whole album and a children's book, both born in a single night, from someone who supposedly "didn't get anything done."

Skills enhance naturally. Not through grinding, but through resonance. Learning becomes faster. Focus deepens. Abilities sharpen. You're in sync with your natural talents, and life starts working for you instead of against you.

Boldness emerges. A well-nourished Aura fuels courage. You speak up. You take the risk. You show up authentically, and people respond to that. Confidence born from energetic alignment is powerful and lasts for the long term. It's why that student could sit in his advisor's office and say, plainly, "I didn't get to my paper yet" — no panic, no excuses, just trust that he was exactly where he needed to be.

Attention gravitates toward you. When your energy is higher and more positive, you become a beacon. Opportunities, connections, and recognition start finding you, because you're vibrating at a frequency that matches them. It's no accident that Gloria, of all the students who passed through her office, couldn't stop thinking about this one.

Success follows. Not success as the world narrowly defines it, but success as you define it. Meaningful work. Fulfilling relationships. Health. Joy. Purpose. When your outer actions align with your inner energy, success stops being a chase and becomes a consequence.

The Abundance

Abundance isn't something you chase. It's something you become, like the PhD student who worked on three different projects in a single night.

When you fulfill more of your potential and walk your life purpose, you access a level of abundance that money alone can't buy. This is the abundance of waking up excited about your day. The abundance of relationships that feel deeply connected. The abundance of knowing you're living the life your soul came here to live.

Yes, material abundance can follow too. When your energy is aligned, you make better decisions. You attract better opportunities. You operate from optimism rather than scarcity. Then the feeling that life is full, rich, and moving through you like a river — happens more frequently. Doors start to open. Not because you forced them. Because you became the person they were waiting for.

Gloria found out later that his paper did get finished — not by force, not by an all-nighter of panic, but a few weeks on, once the songs were recorded, the textbook outline was down, and the business paperwork was filed. Clearing space for the rest of his life, it turned out, was what freed up the part of his mind that had been stuck on the paper all along.

An Invitation

The Aura Way isn't about manifestations. It's not about pretending. It's not about believing hard enough. It's about clearing the channel so abundance can find you, the way water finds its natural path downstream.

Your job isn't to build the river.

Your job is to remove the rocks.

So today, I suggest you feel what can be a little step towards starting this new awareness of activating and nourishing your Aura. You can choose to go outside, to create something, or to call a friend who brings positivity in your life.
