Hi.
My love's I hope that everyone
is having a decent day, at the time that you listen to this. If not, it's still holding you still holding you
close if your day is not the greatest.
But this month, I have decided to focus on money, and my substack. And I just want to note that
money brings up a lot of feelings for everybody, including myself. And
it brings up feelings of sometimes positivity, right, maybe it brings up feelings of resource, maybe it
brings up feelings of happiness.
And then maybe for some people, it brings up fear, it brings up inadequacy, there's many things that
come up in this conversation of money. And sometimes it goes back and forth, right, depending on
the day, some days are a good money days, some days are not so great. But I would like to just
spend some time with you all just gone through a nice little meditation, if you will.
And let's just see where we find ourselves at the end of this.
So when you're ready,
find a comfortable space, a comfortable position.
Feel free to get whatever you need, whether it's a warm blanket,
whether it's an extra pillow,
whatever it is that you need.
And then when you're ready, I want you to close your eyes, keep them open, lower your gaze
whatever works for you. Remember, there's no right way to do this
essentially for a moment to find some stillness in your body
keep your normal pace of breath
taking notice of your somatic landscape right now
paying attention to the way in which your body feels and any sensations that may be present.
Sweeping from the top of your head
down to your shoulders.
Yes to make
of it this
can see your knees.
The bottom of your feet
is paying attention to any sensations
is paying attention to any sensations
and then while you're here,
I also want you to just pay attention and bring your attention to any of
any type of emotion that may be present for you today.
Day
isn't surplus of money, bringing up some other feelings, maybe some pleasant lens maybe some not
so pleasant learnings
noticing that
then what I would love for you to do is to start taking some deep breaths
allowing yourself to bring in some oxygen into your body and allowing it to spread into those spaces
that maybe need some smoothing out.
If you're having some unpleasant feelings and this conversation of money and these thoughts about
money, just bring some breath into it. Maybe some breath that spreads love across your body. Maybe
some breath that
encourages you to just be present and the moment
maybe some breath that tells you that you are enough even in this conversation of money
what I would like for you to do now is just think about
But
how does it feel? And you're writing to be resourced?
I'm thinking about resource. I mean that in many ways, what does it feel like to be emotionally
resource? But does it mean to be physically resource? What does it mean to be financially resourced?
And how does that land in your body
does it help your shoulders drop
as a brain warmness into your body
does it allow your pelvic floor to drop a bit too brief to release
and for some of you,
I'm going to be sure to bring up that maybe it's hard to even feel
right so even think about what it means to be resourced.
Maybe there is
some rough edges around that
maybe there's some resistance in your body when you're thinking about that. And that's okay to
take some deep breaths
and just allow yourself to move through
imagining take a couple of minutes to create a space of comfort, right and internal space of comfort
for us. Before we move through
for us. Before we move through
some more pieces about money.
I want you to think about what is the smell that brings you comfort
is that the smell of lavender, which is my favorite
is it the scent of your partner's skin
is at the center of
what's happened in your kids heads
and at the center of your favorite meal take a moment
to remind yourself of that scent
take notice what happens to your body while you're holding that scent
add another layer to that
you're in that sense? Whatever helps you to feel a bit more relaxed, a bit more open a bit more
comfortable. Is there a certain color that comes into that space
is there any yellows, whites, purples, browns, greens
can you for a moment
allow yourself to rush yourself over in that color.
Maybe that color starts in the middle of your chest and as you think about that scent it grows in
envelopes your body
while you're thinking of these layers of comfort,
are you able to provide yourself a little bit more spaciousness in your body?
Was your chest drop?
Release your belly
What's your shoulder strap
in while you're here, I want you to think about anything else that helps you to feel and remind you of
the safety that you have already in your body. Which is bringing a bit more to the tap.
Is there someone's voice?
Is there a sound of certain music
Bring those layers of safety present
one thing for me that has been helpful is to bring these layers of safety
to the present as much as I can as I navigate conversations of money
as I navigate conversations, making money as they navigate conversations of all the things, paying
bills, whatever it is.
So I want you to keep that to the top.
So I want you to keep that to the top.
Selling that scent, enveloping yourself in that color and whatever your third layer of safety is bringing
that into the space
we're gonna move through our affirmations for this month.
So I invite you to say these affirmations out loud I invite you to say them in your mind whatever works
for you
release all resistance to attract the money I am worthy of a positive cash flow
I can look at my finances without fear
and if you have moments
where the anxiety or hasn't some tea or anything that's coming up, make sure you bring in those
safety those layers of safety
and breathe through
I believe there is enough money for everyone
I can build a complete financial foundation
finances will improve
I'm wealthy beyond money
I am capable of overcoming any money obstacles that stand in my way.
Money helps change the world for better
I want you to spend some time. If it's helpful to you bring your hands to your chest, maybe moving
your hands over your heart and just taking notice of what may be present for you.
Allowing yourself to feel
in our also bring up those layers of safety wherever needed.
And I want to remind you that
unfortunately,
money is a big part of our world is something that it's a daily sort of daily conversation.
But you have the skill set to move through these conversations you have the layers of safety that you
can bring up at any given time
and that you are abundant
that you are resourced
and you are deserving of all the things that you need
and you're wealthy beyond money.
And when you are ready, feel free to start opening your eyes moving around the room, maybe
orienting yourself set a date and a time. It'd be naming some objects around the room to bring
yourself back into the space.
And I hope that this has helped for you. And always always feel free to utilize those layers of safety
And I hope that this has helped for you. And always always feel free to utilize those layers of safety
whenever needed.
