Abundance, Gratitude & New Classes Coming!
Abundance: a very large quantity of something.
My 3-year-old self embodied abundance, gratitude, and being enough. What happened along the way?
This weekend in classes we explored a mindset of abundance, coming from from a place of enough rather than a place of scarcity or lack. We talked about our patterns and stories, the culture of “you need this,” “you need that,” “this will make you whole and happy” — the presumption that in some way we are less than, and we practice that mindset daily, surrounded by reaffirming messages everywhere we turn.
But what if we paused and decided to practice a different mindset? What if we recognize all that we have (gratitude)? What if we stay open to the riches of of our lives—relationships, how our body can move today, who we are today, what we have lived through and survived that has made us who we are today? What if we practiced cultivating and feeling abundance in our bodies? What if we boldly and radically accepted that we are enough?
We know what happiness feel like. We know what anger feels like. We know what sadness feels like. Do we know, deeply, what abundance feels like? There is a sliver of a memory within us, perhaps long ago, before we were told we weren’t enough by (you fill in the blank), and the images that surround us, when we were just enough as we are—lost in the moment to moment of life. Can we reclaim that? I believe, with practice, we can.
Breath and gratitude practices can help shift our nervous system, and practice a different mindset.
