Abundance IS Yours

Intention Setting Support Groups 

Welcome to the empowering world of Paula Langguth Ryan’s Abundance IS Yours! Intention Setting Support Groups. We've put together this helpful brochure to help you gain the most from your Abundance IS Yours! Group experience.

AIY groups are designed to help you rethink and reframe the limiting beliefs about money and abundance in all forms that you have held to be true up until today – beliefs that have held you back from accepting the abundance you desire and deserve!

We've done our best to answer the most common questions that come up for AIY group members. Please call, write or email us if you have any additional questions, comments or feedback to share.

THE MEETINGS:

Abundance IS Yours! Intention Setting Support Groups generally range in size from 6-14. This size provides everyone with an opportunity to share successes, receive guidance and set an intention within the time frame allowed.

Groups are generally 2 ½ hours long and follow a simple, spirit-guided structure. (Each member’s spiritual path is accepted and supported.) Groups are led by Contemporary Prosperity Advisor Paula Langguth Ryan or an AIY-trained moderator. The group begins with the moderator explaining the format of the group. This format is repeated for each group member until each member has had individual attention

1. Participant shares stories of prosperity and abundance success and awareness that have occurred in his/her life since the previous meeting. This may include increased income, revitalized health, reduced expenses, gifts, more loving and connected relationships at home or with co-workers, a favorable outcome to a situation or event, and so on. Applause and an outpouring of supportive enthusiasm are absolutely welcome!

2. Participant recaps his/her homework assignment from the previous class, and the outcome of the homework assignment. Outcomes often include breakthroughs in consciousness, new awareness of an old pattern or current abundance and so on.

3. Participant shares any obstacles he/she has encountered, new challenge he/she wishes to work on, or specific desires of something he/she wishes to do, be or have in the next 30 days. This may be something tangible (such as a new laptop computer, or increased level of health and energy) or intangible (such as increased awareness of abundance in your life, or greater peace of mind).

4. The moderator asks questions of the participant, as guided to do so, to help facilitate the expanded consciousness, eliminate obstacles and release the limiting belief systems that are keeping the participant from having what he/she truly desire. The moderator, if guided to do so, may assign homework to the participant. (Anyone who feels a particular assignment resonates with them is encouraged to include that assignment in their own homework as well.)

5. The moderator takes the information that has been gleaned from the participant and his/her desires and sets a supercharged, prayerful written intention. This intention is then read directly to that participant in front of the group. Participants may fine-tune their intention further as needed.

6. While the moderator is writing out individual intentions, the group is given time to discuss any questions, make comments and suggestions, take bathroom breaks, etc. The break time between each participant’s discussion time allows the group to honor each member with complete focus on that participant as the moderator leads them through the process.* 

7. The moderator types the intentions and sends them to participants via e-mail or regular mail (if no e-mail is available) so each participant may hold the intentions in prayer for themselves and their fellow participants. (Read on for helpful tips on holding supercharged intentions!)

8. At the end of the class, a donation is collected. The suggested minimum donation is $20. In keeping with the teachings of prosperity principles, tithes and offerings are gratefully accepted as well if you feel you’ve been spiritually fed by your Abundance IS Yours! experience. Your generous contributions allow Paula Langguth Ryan to bring her message of abundance to others.

Open Yourself To Receive All the 

Abundance That IS Yours!

YOUR WORK – To do between meetings:

Invest the time in your future: do your homework and hold intentions in prayer. Powerful changes take place as a result of even the smallest action. Invest the time in yourself and your fellow group members. Do your homework and see where it leads you. Read your intention and the intentions of your other group members. Whether you read the actual words every day, or simply hold in prayer the essence of each person’s desire, you are creating an incredible energy flow that will help draw to them what they desire.

HOLDING SUPERCHARGED INTENTIONS

Abundance IS Yours! intentions always begin with “I see….” Seeing begins with believing. In order to see something with right vision, and with right thinking and right discernment/ judgment, you must believe in the possibility that it can and does exist, somewhere, for someone. As long as there is a possibility, then it can be manifest.

It is generally easier to believe something is true for someone else than it is to believe it is true for yourself. This is where the power of holding prayerful intentions comes from. Wherever two are more are gathered in prayer, spirit is in the midst of them, making those intentions manifest.

One of the most powerful prayer methods is one where you declare what it is you desire in a manner that shows you see it as already manifest in your life or in the life of someone else. You see what you desire as the manifest reality, rather than seeing any appearances to the contrary.

There are as many ways to hold intentions in prayer as there are people who pray! You may find you’re most comfortable reading the words of each intention, silently or aloud. You may have a fuzzy or vivid picture of each member having all that they desire, or you may feel the elation and joy of them having what they desire, with no out-picturing in your mind. You may hold the intention as being possible for them, despite any appearance to the contrary. Or you may see nothing but what they desire.

When preparing to hold intentions in prayer, it is helpful to remember that whatever your mind focuses on is what you will create. If you are in a negative state of mind, depressed, discouraged, annoyed, irritated or pressed for time, wait to hold intentions until you are able to do so cheerfully, joyfully and with lovingkindness toward yourself and your fellow group members.

When you receive your AIY Intention Prayer List, you will notice that every intention contains the phrase “This or something better now manifests for the highest good of all.” There is a reason for this. Too often, we become so attached to HOW something will manifest in our lives that we overlook when opportunities come up which contain our good. When you hold intentions, release your attachment to HOW something will come to you or others. See only what they desire coming to them, in the highest and best possible way. HOW it happens is none of our business. Our business is determining what it is we truly want and then taking steps to being open to receive our good when it comes to us.

Do not be dismayed or discouraged by reports of other people’s success if what you truly desire hasn’t yet manifested. First, congratulate yourself for the power of your prayers which have helped your fellow group members manifest what they desire. Then focus your attention on the anticipation. When our good is delayed, it is often because what is being manifest is so much greater than what we were able to hold in our own limited consciousness. Stay focused on what you desire, despite any appearances to the contrary. 

MAXIMIZING THE AIY EXPERIENCE 

To maximize the AIY experience for yourself and your fellow group members, we ask you to follow these simple guidelines during and after class:

Do your homework. Between meetings, do your homework and continue to hold intentions for yourself and your group each day, in whatever way you have chosen. Regardless of your “perception of reality” regarding the day-to-day events around you, continue to hold the consciousness that what you desire is coming to you. Continue to participate in the creation of the life you and your group members desire. What we perceive to be true is what will be true in our own experience. Therefore, it is important to see past the illusion of the collective limiting “reality” we may have bought into and see the reality of what we truly desire.

*Limit cross talk and side conversations. Unlike MasterMind or other networking type groups that focus on problem-solving or network-building, AIY groups are designed to help you and your fellow group members expand your consciousness so you actually begin to see beyond problems to the true possibilities in your life. To accomplish this, the moderator and participants need to be able to fully focus on the experience. If you have an idea or information you’d like to share with a fellow participant, please do so during the break or after class. If you are guided by spirit to ask a question, please indicate this to the moderator.

Come to class or share your successes and new intention with someone who will be attending if you’re unable to do so. Abundance IS Yours! Groups are powerful at helping people stay focused on what they truly desire, in part, because they are filled with focused, committed individuals who have committed to holding the consciousness for each other. Busy schedules don’t always make it possible for everyone to attend every class. If you’re out of town or otherwise unable to attend, please share your success stories and your new intention with the facilitator or another group member, so you will be present at the group in spirit. We will then set and hold your new intention for you and send you all new intentions. We will continue to hold intentions for people who are unable to attend for three consecutive months. After three months, that energy will be released so it can be used to support and affirm intentions for other group members. You are always welcome to join the group at any time!

Abundance IS Yours! moderators are trained to see what participants desire. To truly see it as manifest in the world. To not hold any vision of anything that is contrary to what participants desire. To always focus on the good that participants desire.

And so they are rarely surprised when participants come back month after month to declare that what they desired has come to pass!
