Chapter 1: Abundance = Be a Receiver 1. ABUNDANCE = BE A RECEIVER
WHEN YOU THINK of the word abundance, what comes to mind? Is it a pile of money? Is it a beautiful vacation home on the beach? Is it eating your favorite takeout every night? Is it a first-class plane ticket? Is it writing a check for millions of dollars to a charity? Is it being able to do what you love and getting paid well for it?

Now imagine you had those things. How does that make you feel?

I was raised like many people to think that abundance was a certain level of success that was achievable through hard work or luck. Every challenging conclusion people draw is that all of life is a race to see who can achieve the most. This approach has left a lot of people feeling empty and depleted. What’s even worse is that the key to their own happiness was always within, and the path was so simple that they skipped right over it. Contrary to popular opinion, abundance is more than a giant bank account. Abundance isn’t about money, but we have a false perception that the more money we have, the fuller we’ll feel. The truth is, we didn’t come into this world for a pile of things. We have much bigger dreams than that. We came for an elevated state of consciousness, a feeling of wholeness and connection. It’s the feeling of inner peace, creativity, and contribution that we’re really after.

You’ve likely heard about the law of attraction, where things that you desire are outside of you, and your job is to attract something that’s at a distance from where you are now. We were taught that all we had to do was get clear on what we wanted and it would materialize. Many of us who bought into this idea are still waiting for results; we’re still pining for our dreams somewhere over the rainbow and wondering Why haven’t I attracted the life I dream for myself? Why isn’t it working?

Well, what if I told you that the law of attraction may actually hold us back from allowing in more? What if it’s not about attracting at all? What if the magic is in the receiving?

My dear teacher Rabbi David Aaron was the first to help me understand that the universe works through the law of reception. Based on the word Kabbalah, which means “to receive,” the idea is that everything that we need and most desire in life is already here—you don’t have to attract it. You just have to receive it; you just have to allow it in. There’s nothing at a far distance from us and nothing we need to force to have it. Right here in this moment all potentials already exist, and the question is, How much do you allow yourself to receive?

When first explaining this concept to me, he used the radio as a metaphor, and I love it so much. He said a radio has the capacity to tune into music that is always here, hidden in plain sight. We are designed just like that. When we tap into our truest frequency, we experience a totally new reality. We are in charge of what appears. It all depends on which wavelength we’re on. As a latchkey kid in the ’80s and ’90s, I had my Sony Boombox to keep me entertained. It was one of those old-school boomboxes with the rabbit ears, and depending on the day, I would manipulate those ears to tune it to pop, oldies, sometimes a rock station. A variety of music was at my fingertips, and it was up to me to tune to the station of my choosing and receive it.

Here’s my way of understanding this metaphor. The whole journey here is about being a receiver. If I have a radio sitting next to me and I turn it on, I’ll hear music. If the radio is off, I won’t hear anything. So I turn it on. But then once I turn it on, depending on what the radio is tuned to, I might hear a salsa song. If I tune it another way, I might hear hip-hop or classical music.

So, what’s in control of the broadcast? It’s whatever the receiver is picking up.

When we look at it this way, we realize that all potentials exist in this quantum field. All realities exist in this moment, and the one you’re in is the one you’re attuned to. The experience of your life is a mirror of the radio station you have chosen. You just don’t necessarily know that. But once you understand that you are in control of the music you want to broadcast and receive, you realize, Wow. That’s unbelievable. That is so empowering, I can choose a different station.

Did you get that?

All the music is already here. You simply have to tune into a certain frequency to receive a different type of song.

This is how abundance works.

As Wayne Dyer said, “We don’t get what we want, we get what we are.” There is a principle in science called the law of resonance. If I were to go into a guitar shop and take one guitar off the shelf and play the D string, all the other guitars in the store would vibrate. Not only that, but it would be only the D string on the other guitars that would move in resonance to match the note I played. We literally get back the signal we send out. If you want more love in your life, be love. If you want more abundance, find within you the abundance of your soul. If you want more joy and blessings, become the radio station that is tuned to this delicious, energetic force of true ease. What we’re craving is never outside of us. What we’re longing for is the fullness of our own life force. When we find a way to truly be present in our highest consciousness, then we find the wholeness within. The more we broadcast this kind of frequency, the more we manifest so much around us. We are creators—we came into the world to create more love and connection and beauty. We can’t create from lack; we create from a place of feeling whole.

SET YOUR RADIO DIAL

You might be wondering who the heck am I, Cathy Heller, to be asking you to make such bold shifts in the way you think about wealth, success, and life itself. Why have I written a whole book about this? I’ll tell you—I’ve been on a quest for over three decades. My parents had a hard marriage and a horrible divorce. I went through a lot of painful times, and I saw my mother struggle with intense heartache, depression, and anxiety. My dad left when I was a tween and things were extremely difficult. I felt very lost and broken. At age fifteen I started seeking answers and looking for the meaning of life. I wound up spending three years studying in Jerusalem, followed by learning meditation and mindfulness at UCLA. Eventually I started teaching meditation and then began coaching thousands of women, leading retreats, and teaching courses. I built a multimillion-dollar business by following my passion. In 2017, I started a podcast that allowed me to interview more than nine hundred brilliant minds including Deepak Chopra, Jon Kabbat Zinn, Byron Katie, Mitch Albom, and Marianne Williamson, to name a few. I learned that you don’t have to live a life of quiet desperation or buy into hustle culture to be fulfilled; rather, there is a path to abundance and happiness that is paved with ease. The beautiful thing about truth is that all rivers lead to the same ocean. Everyone winds up at the same destination, and that journey is what I want to continue sharing with you in this book.

Whenever I talk in my coaching or workshops about money, abundance, and the things we most desire in our lives, there’s an impatience that will swell in the room until finally someone...
