These old patterns are like a cat that likes to sleep on your head but isn’t the least bit interested in the fact that you are allergic. It’s time to move the cat. A little discomfort can end a lifetime of suffering.

From the Inside Flap

To successfully upgrade from scarcity and struggle to Abundance and ease, we must interrupt and dislodge old patterns that have been living quite comfortably within us, acting like they own the place. These old patterns are like a cat that likes to sleep on your head but isn’t the least bit interested in the fact that you are allergic. It’s time to move the cat. A little discomfort can end a lifetime of suffering.

This book will help you break fre from the Trance of Scarcity in 3 ways: 1. By defying the cultural "common sense" that scarcity is an unchangeable truth, and revealing it for what it is – a mere Story. 2. By leveraging the two elements that create our personal realities-our Stories and how we embody them-and then using those elements to create the reality we want. 3. By using the powerful, well-tested practices of the Cycle of Abundance that result in greater ease, freedom, and satisfaction. Through these practices you will learn to literally embody the state of Abundance, of living the the world with greater effectiveness and ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars not leaving anything out of getting all of what you want, February 17, 2006

This review is from: The Trance of Scarcity (Paperback)

What I found so moving about this book was the simple (and humorous) approach to deeply looking at what my "story" was about what I did and did not deserve. And that not only was my mind trained to believe this story, but so was my body. There is not only a profound message about how to build capacity for more of the richness we want in life, but tools on how to get the room we need for the change. This was our blanket gift to everyone we loved for Christmas, it was that powerful.

In this engaging book, Victoria Castle peels away the falsehoods surrounding our accepted beliefs that scarcity is unavoidable and abundance is purely good fortune. She shares her hard-won wisdom with grace and gentle wit.
If you often feel that "you can't always get what you want", please do yourself a favor - read this book and apply its lessons. I assure you that you will be rewarded beyond your expectations.

Sagacious Press By Victoria Castle

The stories we tell ourselves are, in fact, our reality; changing our stories can awaken us to the new and emerging realities that surround us. One of the most debilitating stories is that we are not meant for living a life of abundance. With more than 20 years of experience in dealing with everyone from individual leaders to mega-corporations, Victoria Castle brings us face to face with this dysfunctional myth and guides us by giving us the keys that free us from our "trance of scarcity."
