Transcript

Welcome to this guided meditation brought to you by Create the Calm.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose and let it drift out gently through your mouth.

Allow your shoulders to lower.

Unclench your jaw.

Feel yourself begin to settle into this moment.

Safe,

Supported,

And still.

You don't have to leave your day behind.

You're simply pausing to remember that there's more space,

More calm,

More possibility than the mind often allows.

For now,

Let your breath lead you home.

Inhale,

Soft and steady.

Exhale,

Slow and releasing.

We've all been taught to measure our lives in terms of enough.

Do I have enough money,

Enough love,

Enough time?

And underneath those questions,

A deeper one often whispers,

Am I enough?

Scarcity thinking is like a lens.

It narrows our vision until all we can see is what's missing.

But what if we widen the view?

As you breathe,

Imagine that narrow lens softening,

Expanding.

Each inhale opens your awareness just a little bit more.

And each exhale clears space where worry once lived.

You might picture your heart as a small bowl,

One that's been trying to hold the whole ocean.

Now imagine setting that bowl down.

Step into the ocean instead.

Feel how limitless it is.

Notice how it holds you without effort.

The truth is,

Abundance isn't something to reach for.

It's the field you already stand in.

Let these words sink into your breath.

I release the need to control how good things come to me.

I trust that life provides what I truly need.

I live in a world of enough.

One more time,

I release the need to control how good things come to me.

I trust that life provides what I truly need.

I live in a world of enough.

As you breathe those words,

Notice how the body responds.

Maybe your chest opens.

Maybe your shoulders soften.

Maybe a small sigh escapes.

That's your body remembering what your mind forgot.

You were never meant to live in fear of not enough.

Take one more deep breath.

In through the nose and out through the mouth.

Feel yourself grounded in the present,

Open and calm.

There is enough love,

Enough time,

Enough support,

And you,

You are enough.

Thank you for sharing this quiet moment with me.

If this meditation brought you peace,

I invite you to follow me here on Insight Timer.

For more calming reflections on self-worth,

Trust,

And abundance.

Until then,

May you remember that you are supported and that life itself is always enough.
