Causes of Generalized
Anxiety Disorder:
Why I'm Against
Abundance Consciousness
Causes of generalized anxiety disorder and the Abundance Consciousness Police
Ask me what is essential for an abundant life and these four are my response:
1. Awareness born of fearless, honest self-reflection.
2. Self-acceptance.
3. The will to change.
4. And faith in the power to do so.
Some ideas promoted as abundance consciousness run contrary to these essentials. Granted they are well intended. But perhaps the road to well is not paved with good intentions.
Like many good ideas, abundance consciousness has fallen victim to the sound bites of popular advice. Similar to what has happened to religions throughout time, popular culture has extracted surface meanings, removed thought-provoking depths, and served up pointless palaver.
The first law (according to the consciousness “experts”) is to avoid “I” statements that express negativity. Here is a direct quote from the number one ranked site for the keyword ‘abundance consciousness,’
“Watch your language! Make sure that what follows "I" or "I am" is what you want to manifest. If you say "I am poor," the Universe will answer you with its only response: Yes!”
Do you see how this attitude (fearing my thoughts) creates causes of generalized anxiety disorder?
There is a quality of unquestioned authority around these teachings, a culture of blame growing like mold in a Petri dish. The message is, “It is not ok (to not be ok) and it was YOU not being ok that created the problem.”
I have a client who couldn’t finish her sentences. The consciousness police taught her to fear manifesting an even worse reality through authentic expression. It was often 45 minutes into the session before she’d admit her real issues with the caveat, “I shouldn’t feel this way, wahhhhhh!” I’ve had clients balk at saying the words “I need (fill in the blank)” for fear of manifesting more need.
This certainly contributes to causes of generalized anxiety disorder.
While intended as a method for increasing awareness around the power of one's thoughts, the unfortunate outcome is often an edited, judged, shamed, blamed, and frightened awareness.
In other words...causes of generalized anxiety disorder.
They say that what you focus your thoughts on is what you manifest. Maybe. Yes. And, well… no! Maybe I can sum up by saying that gratitude and appreciation seem to work wonders. But equally important is the simple truth that when I’m not grateful, I’m not. I’m just NOT.
The hidden treasure in my negative situation is my process, my evolution towards more well-being. It is an opportunity to discover unmet needs and negative beliefs, hurt feelings and unresolved relationships.
Negative feelings offer the opportunity to see where my soul is ready to grow. In order to do so I must feel free to speak my experience, fearlessly trusting in the power of bringing truth to light!
The solution is not to deny my authentic feelings, not to pretend I am enlightened when indeed I am not.
Abundance consciousness can lead to denial. Denial is formidable! (AND underlies causes of generalized anxiety disorder.)
When all IS well in my world, it is not because my mind has created wellness by pretending all is well! When I am in a bright, clear space within, I don’t get there by “shoulding” my negative feelings. When I am in peace and acceptance, when I am “attracting or manifesting” the positive, my focus is still solidly on taking action around my “problems”-- what I have that I don’t want/ what I want that I don’t have.
Negative feelings indicate unmet needs and our needs are important!
Take your negative feelings and ask, "What do I, or these feelings need?"
Then imagine all the people of the world having THAT particular need met. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone had that! I say it is a healthy need, worthy of taking a stand for.
How often we feel guilty or broken for having needs! How long we've been told "we shouldn't feel that way." The idea of needs creating our needs is NOT helpful (but, again, are causes of generalized anxiety disorder!)
Abundance consciousness-type solutions are what people resort to when they don’t have access to empowerment through Resonance RepatterningTM. (The poor impoverished dears!)

Suppressing fear creates a mind at war with itself. A mind that is in fear of its own fear. A mind that insists that its own lack of power is stronger than the power of bringing truth to light.
“I’m trying to change reality with my thoughts,” said another client, owner of a once thriving real estate firm. “My company is losing money and I can’t pay the bills. But I still go on trips and take cabs because I’m afraid of poverty consciousness.” She was trapped in mental turmoil, looking for the blame inside herself. “How did I create this?” she pondered sleeplessly, believing that if she performed the correct mental gymnastics she would undo the voodoo hoodoo of loss. She was not fully present to name problems and take positive actions.
How can unmet needs be resolved with love and communication when there is fear (causes of generalized anxiety disorder) that speaking the truth will manifest more of the same?
Unquestioned belief in “thought manifestation” can result in fear of being. It is terrifying that you cause your troubles if you are anything other than a bliss ninny.
Naming a lack does not create the lack! If it did, how could we create anything?
If I say I am thirsty, am I manifesting more thirst? Am I not more likely to build a bridge if I notice that I need one? Does putting locks on your doors manifest burglars? Does using birth control manifest unwanted pregnancies? Does responsible stewardship of resources equal poverty consciousness?
How does abundance consciousness explain the occupation of Tibet or AIDS or genocide or abortion? I cannot believe their thoughts attracted this! If Tibetans attracted those horrors with thoughts there would be good reason for conditional abundance consciousness (fear) and these causes of generalized anxiety disorder.
One must see oneself--not as causing--but as transcending the fickle winds of fate. The moon waxes and wanes and the sun rises and falls.
Thoughts are indicators of an underlying condition that needs healing. What needs healing is not the thoughts but fear of thoughts, the lack of positive power attributed to the experiencer of thoughts.
Thanks to Resonance Repatterning, which includes the "negative" within the healing process, both of these clients have turned things around.
They are:
1. Expressing ALL their feelings, recognizing their needs and facing reality responsibly (awareness born of fearless, honest self-reflection.)
2. Letting go of blame and forgiving life (self-acceptance.)
3. Facing and acting on the ‘harsh realities’ of life (the will to change.)
4. And in the process they are gaining faith in their power to do so.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Needs are the seeds of abundance. Recognizing needs (or lack) activates our power to create and manifest. Let’s take a stand for UNconditional awareness. Let's put a stop to these unnecessary causes of generalized anxiety disorder.
When we resonate with the power of bringing the truth to light, we will finally stop fearing (and denying) fear itself.
People often tell me they can’t have healthy relationships or they are skeptical that I can help them.
Lest we forget: Relationships are natural -- unhealthy (or absent) relationships are unnatural.
Folks, as humans our brains and nervous systems are hard-wired to need relationships! This is actually a healthy, good need. I use a proven process called Resonance Repatterning® to identify the patterns that get in your way and assist you in shifting to new patterns.
Session absolutely support you in becoming strong in the qualities of:
Awareness born of fearless, honest self-reflection
Self-acceptance
The will to change
And faith in your power to do so.
The causes of generalized anxiety disorder are simply unresolved life experiences, the baggage of unhealed traumas. My work is spectacularly effective at that!
I make no claims about instant fixes and if I did, the skeptics would be right. However, I do claim that sessions can powerfully move you from negative to positive patterns. These shifts change you from the inside out and ripple out into your life and relationships. These shifts change you:
who you attract - and how you act - and how you feel.
