Are We Truly Ready to Receive?
By Anael • LARIMARITA
We all hunger for prosperity.
We want freedom. We want beautiful homes, meaningful experiences, successful businesses, travel, security, recognition, and the possibility to choose our lives instead of merely surviving them.
We say, “I am abundant. I am prosperous. I am ready to receive.”
But are we?
I have discovered through my own journey that prosperity is not only about how much money we have. It is also about how much we believe we are allowed to receive.
And that belief lives much deeper than an affirmation.
You can repeat “I am rich” every morning while carrying an unconscious identity of scarcity underneath it. You can create vision boards, manifest millions, and imagine an abundant future while another voice inside you continues whispering:
I cannot afford that.
That’s too expensive for me.
I should save this money.
Maybe one day.
Who am I to have something like that?
This is where the real work begins.
The Poverty We Carry Inside
Many of us inherited beliefs about money long before we were capable of questioning them.
I call this the “karma of poverty.”
For me, it describes a state of mind shaped not only by our families and personal histories, but also by societies that have often taught ordinary people to think in terms of limitation—to remain inside invisible cages created by fear, scarcity, and the belief that there is never enough.
But I believe we are entering a new period of awakening.
In spiritual traditions, some call it a Golden Age.
I call it the Awakening of Atlantis—a return to the consciousness of abundance, love, and light.
For me, Larimar represents this awakening.
I experience Larimar as a deeply spiritual stone, and through my brand LARIMARITA, my intention is to awaken people to the light and abundance that already exist within them—to help end what I call the karma of poverty.
Perhaps we are all being invited to awaken to our own prosperity.
The Universe itself is abundant. Nature continuously creates. Life expands, regenerates, and transforms. What if prosperity is not something reserved for a chosen few, but something we can learn to participate in consciously?
The challenge is discovering how to satisfy our hunger for prosperity in harmony with our mindset, our values, and our lives.
Perhaps money was always difficult to earn. Perhaps our parents worried about bills. Perhaps wanting expensive things was considered selfish, superficial, or irresponsible. Perhaps we learned that good people should be modest and that spiritual people should not care about wealth.
These ideas can become part of our identity.
Then adulthood arrives and we consciously desire prosperity while unconsciously remaining loyal to scarcity.
That creates an internal contradiction:
I hunger for abundance, but I am afraid to live abundantly.
Prosperity therefore requires more than earning money.
It requires becoming capable of receiving it, holding it, managing it, enjoying it, and allowing ourselves to experience what it can create.
I have had to learn this myself.
What Larimar Has Taught Me About Receiving
My work with Larimar has given me an unusual opportunity to observe this relationship between desire, intuition, and money.
Larimar is unlike a manufactured product where every piece looks the same.
Every stone is unique.
One may carry the deep blue of the Caribbean Sea. Another contains white patterns resembling waves or clouds. Others hold turquoise, green, volcanic red, or unusual natural formations.
People therefore don’t simply choose a Larimar.
Very often, they feel attracted to one particular stone.
This is why I often prefer allowing someone to experience the stones before focusing on price.
I watch their eyes.
I watch their hands.
One stone keeps calling them back.
“This one.”
Then money enters the conversation.
And suddenly something fascinating happens.
The heart has already chosen, but the mind begins negotiating.
“Can I really spend this much on myself?”
For me, this moment is much bigger than selling jewelry.
It becomes a mirror.
Not because everyone should buy everything they desire. Prosperity does not mean financial recklessness, and saying no can sometimes be the wisest and most abundant decision we make.
The important question is:
Where is my no coming from?
Is it coming from wisdom?
Or is it coming from the old belief that I am not allowed to have what I truly desire?
There is an enormous difference.
Can You Receive What You Desire?
Imagine finding something that deeply speaks to you.
Perhaps it is a Larimar stone.
Perhaps it is a journey.
A beautiful dress.
A home.
An education.
An investment in your business.
Or simply an experience you have dreamed about for years.
Notice what happens inside you.
Do you immediately begin explaining why you cannot have it?
That reaction interests me.
Because sometimes we are not waiting for prosperity.
We are waiting for permission.
Permission to choose ourselves.
Permission to receive beauty.
Permission to want more.
Permission to live differently from the generations before us.
Permission to become the person we have been imagining.
And nobody outside us can permanently give us that permission.
Prosperity Is Not Spending Everything
There is another side to this conversation that matters deeply.
Abundance is not proving that you are rich by spending money you do not have.
Real prosperity also contains discernment.
It means knowing your numbers. Paying your obligations. Creating reserves. Investing intelligently. Building assets. Respecting money instead of fearing it or using it to prove your worth.
Sometimes prosperity says yes.
Sometimes prosperity says not yet.
The difference is that not yet does not mean never for someone like me.
It means:
I choose this consciously, and I am creating the capacity to receive more.
That is a completely different energy.
Joy Is Part of Wealth
For many years we have been taught to measure prosperity primarily through accumulation.
How much do you own?
How much do you earn?
How much is in your account?
Those things matter. Financial stability matters enormously.
But I believe prosperity without joy is incomplete.
What is the purpose of creating wealth if we never allow ourselves to experience life?
For me, prosperity means having resources and being alive enough to enjoy them.
It means generosity without self-destruction.
Beauty without guilt.
Pleasure without shame.
Ambition without losing the soul.
Money without becoming controlled by money.
And perhaps this is why humanity remains so hungry for prosperity.
We think we are hungry for more.
But underneath that hunger, many of us are actually longing for freedom.
Freedom from fear.
Freedom from inherited limitations.
Freedom from the belief that there will never be enough.
Freedom to receive.
Freedom to create.
Freedom to become.
The Question I Ask Myself
Today, when I encounter something I deeply desire, I try not to immediately ask:
“Can I afford it?”
First, I ask something deeper:
Do I truly want this?
Does it belong to the life I am creating?
Is my hesitation wisdom—or fear?
And if the answer is fear, then perhaps the real investment is not the object in front of me.
Perhaps the investment is becoming the woman who no longer automatically tells herself no.
That, to me, is prosperity.
Prosperity begins long before the millions arrive.
It begins when we stop defining ourselves through scarcity.
When we learn to receive without guilt, create without fear, manage money with wisdom, and trust ourselves enough to distinguish intuition from impulse.
Maybe our hunger for prosperity is not something we need to eliminate.
Maybe it is trying to lead us somewhere.
Not simply toward having more—but toward becoming capable of receiving the life that has been calling us all along.
When the Hunger Is Finally Satisfied
And then I ask myself another question:
What happens when the breakthrough finally comes?
What happens when I have created the security I once desperately desired? When there is enough money, enough freedom, enough possibility—and I no longer wake up hungry for prosperity because prosperity has become part of my life?
I believe I will look back.
I will remember the days when I was facing myself, truly hungry for a secure life. I will remember what it felt like to desire financial freedom while living close to people for whom poverty and hunger are an everyday reality.
I don’t want prosperity to make me forget any of this.
I want it to make me remember.
I want to remember the woman I was when I was still building her dreams.
The uncertainty.
The courage.
The mistakes.
The faith.
The moments when there was very little evidence that everything would work out, yet something inside me kept saying: Continue.
And when that hunger is finally satisfied, I don’t want gratitude to disappear with it.
I want to remain grateful to God, to the Universe, and to the mysterious intelligence of life that accompanied me while I was turning my dreams into reality.
Perhaps one day I will realize:
I am not hungry anymore.
Not because I stopped dreaming.
Not because I stopped growing.
But because I finally know that there is enough.
I am enough.
And I know how to create again.
That may be the greatest prosperity of all—to no longer chase abundance because we have learned how to live from it.
To remain ambitious without being empty.
To become wealthy without forgetting poverty.
To enjoy beauty without losing compassion.
To receive without guilt and give without losing ourselves.
To look back at the person who once wanted this life so deeply and say:
Thank you for not giving up.
I will continue to be proud of her.
I will continue to love her unconditionally.
And above all, I will remain grateful.
Because perhaps satisfying our hunger for prosperity was never only about becoming rich.
Perhaps it was about discovering who we had to become on the journey there.
