Abundance Isn’t a Goal—It’s Who You Become

In this 2024 YouTube workshop, Aaron Doughty guides viewers through a process of shifting their inner identity to embody abundance rather than pursuing it as an external goal. He argues that people already embody an abundance of whatever they focus on—scarcity, relationships, or space—and that changing the inner self‑image and energy field will naturally attract the desired outcomes. Doughty critiques the common manifestation mindset as a control mechanism rooted in childhood trauma, suggesting that over‑reliance on visualizing outcomes keeps the ego stuck in scarcity. He proposes two complementary pathways: (1) daily identity‑shifting actions performed because they align with the person you choose to be, not to achieve a future result; and (2) a guided group meditation that uses visualization, breath work, and quantum‑field imagery to activate a “magnetic abundance” within the participant’s field. Throughout, he uses metaphors such as a lottery prank to illustrate that abundance is already present, merely unrecognized, and references spiritual ideas from Dolores Cannon about Earth as a high‑vibration club. The workshop culminates in a detailed meditation that moves participants through energy ball relaxation, an “energy conversion box,” a nature sanctuary, a staircase to a door labeled with their most abundant self, and a final grounding into a tree of abundance. Doughty emphasizes that true abundance is a reflection of one’s vibration and excitement in the present moment, encouraging viewers to focus on who they are becoming rather than on external outcomes.
Chapters
You get in life a direct reflection of the energy you are embodying. So if you want to attract more abundance in your life, whether that's of love or an abundance of money or an abundance of opportunities and synchronicities, whatever it is, you have the ability to experience that by first changing and shifting into the energy of abundance, which within your own field. And when that is the case, you can't help to experience more abundance in your life. Now, first off, also realize you're already abundant in something. You may be abundant in scarcity. You may be abundant in people you don't feel that deep connection with. You may be abundant in a lot of space where there aren't that many connections in your life. Whatever it is, you're experiencing, there's an abundance of it already. The key is on embodying the energy that allows more of what you want to experience in your life. Now in this video, you may have clicked on it and been like, great, I'm gonna do this so that I can get this specific result in my life. But the thing is, when you instead shift the inner self-image, you shift the inner energy you are carrying, you will not only eventually experience a new reflection, but you will enjoy the process along the way. It becomes a win-win-win-win the whole entire time. So the point of this is understanding that the process is what we're after, embodying that abundance now. Now in this video you're about to watch, it's a whole workshop that will show you how to transform your identity from the inside out. How to change that inner self-image so that you realize you are already abundant, how to embody the emotions of what you wanna experience now, and we're going to let go of the attachments that are keeping scarcity in our life. I'm gonna show you how to let go of control, why that's creating a lot of resistance, and we're gonna do a guided meditation that uses the power of group energy to activate that most abundant version of us. This is something that when you do, you tap into the group energy of everyone doing it together, and you begin to, in a way, use that energy to transform your life from the inside out. So what I encourage you to do is to watch step by step. I'll show you all these things. Watch this video and then do the meditation and see how much your life transforms as a result of it. So we're gonna go ahead and get into that workshop right now. To create and to tap into the most abundant version of you, it's gonna require two different things. One, it's actions you take every day that begin to shift your identity. I want you to begin contemplating this. What is one small action you can take every day that will change your identity over time? And you're not taking the action because it's gonna get you somewhere else. You're not taking the action because it's gonna help you to escape your current reality. You're taking the action because this is who you choose to be. What if manifestation and shifting our reality was all a mechanism that we use as control because in childhood, maybe it didn't feel safe to be in the unknown, to trust God, to trust the universe, to trust our parents. So maybe as a mechanism, what we did is people that are attracted to manifestation content are very intrigued with this idea of you're telling me I can visualize what I want to experience I can see it in front in my mind and then I can experience it in reality. So I have certainty that if I visualize this, then eventually I can experience this. I am in control of my reality. I control my reality. I can control my reality because back when I wasn't in control in childhood, there was a lot of crazy stuff that happened. So manifestation comes as a need for you to get your needs met. And what if that control was limiting you? What if that control was keeping you in the ego, putting this huge burden on your back because you have to control reality? Do you want to create your own reality? Well, visualize what you want, align to this version of you, let go of your childhood trauma, do all of these things, and you will then control reality. And why do you even want to control it? Because the unknown is so scary. To trust God, the universe, that's scary. But understand that that's where all the magic happens. Understand that when you align and you are able to surrender You're able to be present to the moment, surrender, and focus on your excitement or your passion, it's an end of itself, and you focus more on who you are being. So everyone here, if your goal is to attract more abundance, don't focus on that anymore. Focus on who you are being. And realize that you can be this way to get over here, but by the time you get over here, if you've primed yourself to believe it's not good enough, it's not good enough, it's not good enough, you will always feel discontent with where you are. This is why many people that win the lottery go depressed. This is why many people that retire and don't have something else set up go depressed. This is why a lot of times Olympic gold medalists Go depressed. It's not about the end result. There is more joy that comes in the process. And my goal here with you today is to set you up with a new way of being, not to say, okay, Aaron, here's the map to my abundant self. I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and then I'm gonna be abundant, and then I'm finally gonna be worthy, then I'm finally gonna be free. No, you can be free right now. You can, you can be free now. You can enjoy life now. You can focus on who you are being now. Every moment you're a new you. Every moment you're a new you. Every moment you're a new you. Abundance is excite, it's getting into excitement, which is here now. Excitement is not there in the future once you have a certain amount of money or abundance. Abundance is a reflection of your excitement, of your energy. And there's an opportunity for you here to begin to branch off into the unknown. Okay? Now in the quantum field right now, there's a version of you that's already in your excitement, that's already living the life you prefer to live. Just like if I told you, hey, I pranked you or something. It was like, hey, you won the lottery. Here's some lottery tickets. And you're watching the TV that's prerecorded, but you didn't know it. You're like, oh my God, I just won the lottery. Oh my God, my whole life is changing. Oh my God. But you want to know the funny thing about that? It's a joke.
Haha.
Funny to me, not to you. "You didn't really win the lottery, but for about 20 minutes I let you believe it and guess what happened?" "Oh my God, I'm feeling emotions in my body of elation and bliss and I'm so excited and, wow, dopamine, oh my God." That was already all inside of your body, but I pranked you. "Ah, I'm so funny." You wanna know what the biggest prank of them all is? Is you've already won the lottery, you just don't know you've won it. You are already abundant, you just don't know it. You're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting for the lottery tickets. You're waiting for someone to give you the external piece of validation that says, okay, now you can be abundant. Here's enough money in your bank account. Ah, now I'm safe. Ah, now I feel secure. That's what's blocking you from being abundant now. What I'm saying, let's go inside out instead of outside in. We've been so conditioned to live, by the way, the outside in. I'm going to do these things on the outside and I will eventually be abundant. I'm going to have this number of money in my bank account. I'm going to have this perfect relationship. I'm going to get a better job, and then, ah, I'm safe. But the whole entire time you've been programming your mind and your consciousness to feel not good enough. So by the time you get there, you're so patterned and believe in it's not good enough, it's not good enough, it's not good enough. So what I'm saying is you have already won the lottery. You're here on planet Earth right now. I believe that being on planet Earth right now is a pretty awesome, amazing place to be. In the Dolores Cannon books, you wanna know what it says? Which are about people that are in a deep level of hypnosis, their higher self comes through, maybe it's their subconscious, who knows? Says there is such a focus on Earth right now because we're moving from one level of consciousness to the other that there's such a desire to be here that literally there are souls and spirits that want to come here. And there's like a waiting list. Imagine like a waiting list going into like a club or something. And there's just a long line and people wanna get in the club. And in the Dolores Cannon books, it says that like, there's like the guy at the door is like, okay, you can go to Earth, but you're gonna be a kid in this foreign third world country. You're gonna die at probably probability-wise 3 years old, blah, blah, blah, blah. And people are like, I don't even care. I just wanna say I was on Earth during this time. And here you are inside the club, but it's like you're not part— you don't know that you're in the club. You don't know that like you've already won, but you're here. And what are you gonna do with that? Are you going to be embodying this new you. Because ultimately the question is not, how do I attract abundance? How do I attract love? How do I do this? How do I do this on the outside? How do I do this on the outside? How do I do this on the— how do I do on the outside? My doing leads to the creation of it. Doing is one very powerful modality for changing physical reality. Because doing is a component of vibration. But remember, it's how you think, how you feel, how you act. And what I'm sharing with all of you today, commit to a process of one meditation, meditating, feeling in the vibration you wanna be in, activate it in your field, visualize it, connect to your subconscious and feel as if it's here now. Every single day you do that, 24 hours in a day, it begins to change your field over time. Just like I began meditating, observing my thoughts, over the course of a few weeks, I felt like a totally different person. You're no longer reacting as much, you're observing. Those energies don't have as much power over you. So that's one part of it, that's the energetic part of it. The second part of it is actions you take every day that wire in a new you, not actions that get you to some external point to where you'll finally be good enough, actions that are indicative of you being in the vibration you choose to be. There may be still a little fear there. We're stepping into the new. It's like there was fear when I started making videos, but I kept committed to it and eventually my identity began to shift. So understand abundance is a reflection of your vibration. And your vibration of who you are being in the present moment is determining what reflections you get. So what we are gonna do now is we are gonna do a meditation for activating this magnetic abundance inside of us. Okay, who is ready for this? Who is ready for this activation? Okay, that's what we're going to do next. We're going to activate it. So let's do that.
Let me share some music. Can you all hear this? How does it sound with my voice? It's too loud, right? How about that right there? How about that right there? Perfect.
Okay, let's set the intention now. To connect.
Let's set the intention now to connect to the version of ourselves in the quantum field of how we choose to be.
All right, let's go ahead now.
You go ahead and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Let it all go. Take another deep breath in through your nose. Let it all go. With every breath you take, imagine your body becoming more and more relaxed. Imagine now a ball of energy any color you like, and imagine wherever this ball of energy goes, it relaxes that part of your body. Bring this ball of energy now to behind your eyes. And imagine your forehead and your eyes relaxing more and more, melting away any stress, melting away any tension. Bring that ball of energy now to your jaw. Feel your jaw begin to loosen up and relax. Down your neck. Now your left arm, your left hand, your right arm, your right hand. Bring it now into your heart. Feel the energy, the space around your heart. And ask for any heart walls, any barriers to be released. You can call upon your higher self, your spiritual guides to assist. Bring that energy now down your spine, your hips, to your left leg and foot, your right leg and foot. Any tension melting away. And imagine any excess energy leaving out of the heels of of your feet. Now imagine that to your right is an empty trunk with the lid open, and that this trunk represents an energy conversion box. That you can put inside anything that's been on your mind, anything you want to let go of. Imagine yourself putting whatever that is inside of this box now. Maybe it's an object that reminds you of this. As you do, feel the relief of being able to let it go. When you're ready, close the top of the lid and allow white rim of light to go on the cracks, knowing it's transmuting the energy for you. Imagine now that you are in a very beautiful nature environment, a sacred place you can go, you feel very comfortable with. Maybe it's a beach or a forest or just anywhere in nature. What do you see as you look around this place? What do you hear around this place? What sounds can you hear? How do you feel? Now imagine that in this place you can do deep inner work. You can tap into other versions of you. That allow you to embody new energy. It's always been within you. And imagine now that there are different staircases that go up to these beautiful doors. And as you look around, find a staircase space that you resonate with. What do you notice about it as you stand at the front of it before going up the stairs? What do you notice about this stairwell? Does it spiral up, going up to a beautiful door? Or is it a straight staircase? Now understand this door. Every step you take going up the staircase, you will feel more relaxed. But also you'll be able to feel and allow more energy into your heart. With every number I count and every step you take, imagine your body filling up with more light and love. Now with 1, take a step. 2, take a step going up the stairs. Every number doubling the amount of love you feel in your body. With 3, 4, 5, allowing yourself to feel whatever you feel or don't feel. 6, and closer to this door now. 7, 8, getting closer, 9 in front of the door now, and 10 right in front of this door. Now notice what this door looks like, and notice that it has your name on it, and it says that it's your most abundant version of you. This is a reality that you can connect to, but you can think, feel, and experience an abundant version of you living in your excitement. Now go ahead and and open up the doorknob. Turn it, open up the door, and as you do, you see light coming through. And as your vision readjusts to the light, imagine that in front of you is walking towards you is an abundant version of you. What do you notice about them? What do you see? What is their body language like? Connect to this version of you. Maybe they want to show you what their life is like. Imagine them taking you by the hand and showing you different scenarios of the highest vibrational you, the most abundant you. Where does this version of you bring you? What are they going to show you? Imagine them now looking into your eyes, putting their hand over your heart, and infusing you with what it would feel like to be in that reality, and then putting you in an environment where you get to really feel it. As if it's happening now. Imagine you're looking around in a reality as this abundant version of you in a scenario that represents this abundance. Where are you and what are you doing? Imagine yourself at some milestone feeling grateful for what's already in your life now of this higher vibrational you. Imagine it's natural for your identity. You can feel the passion, but it's not on this big pedestal. It's natural for you to be in the ideal relationship. It is natural for you to be in this abundance, doing what you love. Let it be natural. Imagine more light, more love energy emanating through your body. In this frequency. If there's any questions you have about this reality, you can ask your highest self, your future self. It's here now. What is blocking you from experiencing this? Maybe ask that question, and what is the answer? And if there's an answer to what that block is, imagine yourself giving that block away. Just letting it go, and it drifts away from you. It served you in the past, keeping you in familiar energy. Imagine it now drifting far, far, far away. See if there's a gift from your future highest self of what you could begin to embody. Is there an object that represents a certain energy? Imagine yourself receiving it. What is it? Imagine that object merging with you and imagine yourself with that object and that energy. Moving forward. And now your higher self, future self, lets you know it's time to download the frequency of all of this energy. And imagine that in this reality now, behind this door, you notice there's this beautiful garden energy, grass. And imagine you're standing on it, and imagine that your feet begin to plant deeply into the ground. And imagine that you yourself are turning into a beautiful tree of energy. Feet feeling grounded, roots going deep, deep into the ground, feeling safe in the embrace of the Divine Mother. Imagine those roots growing. Imagine yourself feeling so grounded and supported, and imagine yourself getting larger and larger, growing in size. Imagine the branches going to your sides, or the branches that look like. Beautiful, lush colors around you. Imagine as you grow taller and taller towards the heavens. Imagine that you feel this divine connection to the Divine Father, the stillness, knowing that you are connected to the heavens and the Divine Mother energy of Mother Earth. And in this grounded energy, imagine that there is a light energy that goes to the top of your head into Mother Gaia, any color that you like. You are an antenna of the divine, an antenna of abundance. And imagine that your spiritual guides, higher self, the Divine Mother and Father, is sending this energy to the top of your head, into your heart. And imagine that all this energy is surrounding you. And with every number I count up, imagine that energy is expanding around your field, embracing your heart more and more. And with 1, allow this ball of energy to expand in your heart. 2, let it expand more and more. Open up to receive more love. 3, double that sensation again. Allow yourself to receive that love. With 4, your consciousness is expanding more and more, more and more. 5, double that sensation in your heart again. And 6, repeat in your mind I am abundant. I am love. I am worthy. I am grateful. 6, allow that energy to continue to expand. 7, double that sensation again. Your consciousness is expanding even more with 8. Ask now to receive the energy of the Divine Mother and Father with 9 and 10. Allow yourself to receive the energy of the highest vibrational you as it flows through your body, knowing that from this point moving forward, you are abundance. Abundance is all around you. Abundance is is the synchronicities, the opportunities. There's going to be abundance of people, abundance of space when you need it, an abundance of love if you'll have the courage to tune to it. You can now thank your higher self, your spiritual guides, future self for helping you to embody this energy. And realize from this point moving forward, you have planted the seeds of transformation. Moving forward, you are a new version of you. Imagine a lightness about you now, knowing there's no end result to get to. Just want to enjoy life more. The more love, the more joy, the more passion, the more excitement you experience, the more abundance you tap into. Now see if there's one little action that your higher self, spiritual guides, can help you become aware of that you can do every day in reality to wire in a new you. What is one little action you can take that you'd enjoy taking, even if it's new and unknown? Eventually you'd seek it with it and enjoy it. What is that little action? If anything comes up, maybe this action is just a carrot on a stick that gets you to the next thing. Maybe it's actually something you can do consistently. Simply know that anytime you see a tree moving forward, you will know and remember, I I am abundant. I am this tree of life, this tree of abundance. And it will reaffirm that you are on positive timeline, that good things are coming, things you enjoy, passion, love, joy and peace. Go ahead and take 3 deep breaths and breathe in this abundance now. Take a deep breath into your nose. Let it all go. Breathe this abundance into your heart now. Let it all go. One more deepest breath of the day. Take it in through your nose. Let it go. Now imagine yourself going back to that door, back down the stairs, back from that sacred place in nature, back into this present moment now. Now I'm going to count from 1 to 10. Every number I count, you'll feel yourself becoming more alert and present, knowing you are a new abundant you, and that this is the beginning of a new you. 1. Feel the energy come back in your arms and your legs. 2, 3, 4. Bring it into your spine. 5, 6, 7. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. You can open up your eyes now. And how do you feel?
If you want to go deeper on how to transform your identity from the inside out by understanding the values you subconsciously live in accordance to so that you can really experience more of what you want and you can also experience an energy where it is natural for your identity. Now, this is the key. Many people, they want, which means lack, and they want to be different, which means I'm not good enough now. But when things are neutral, when you're good either way, that's the power. And in this workshop, I show you exactly how to embody it. There's also a meditation for wiring that all in. So if you haven't checked out this workshop yet, it's a free workshop on YouTube. Check it out right Here, this video is a workshop that will show you how to create inside-out transformation.
