Hello there my Insight Timer friend.
Welcome to this premium meditation on dealing with the energy of survival around money.
And so I have a course on Insight Timer called the Energetics of Money.
You may have done it before and if you're listening to this you have access to that course if you haven't.
And in that course I go over the seven relationships with money.
And I want to spend this time together in this meditation focusing on that first relationship with money,
The one that people tend to have the hardest time with,
Which is the energy of survival.
Often it shows up in the feeling of I don't have enough,
There's not enough,
I feel a lack,
I can't pay my bills,
There's not enough time to make the money I want to make.
Anything that makes us feel insecure about the resources we need to have could be around our rent or mortgage,
Medical expenses,
Food,
Child care,
All the things that make us feel stable and secure.
Human beings have been having a hard time with this since the beginning of time,
Right?
Living in caves,
There's no fire,
There's no warmth,
There's not enough food.
We've been in survival as a species since the beginning of our species.
Now if you live in the Western world,
You're much better off now,
Most likely,
Than the vast majority of your human brothers and sisters in the past.
And yet we still have all of this money anxiety and fear around being able to have enough to survive.
So in this meditation,
We're going to say hello to that energy.
We're not here to solve every money issue we have,
But we're here to sit still with an open energy and awareness in relationship to this survival thing that happens with money.
And money is just the medium of exchange that we use to get what it is that we need to get to find our security,
Stability,
And nourishment.
It has no value except the value that we give it and society gives it.
If aliens came to earth,
They would have no use for our paper money.
Maybe they'd want crypto.
On that note,
Go ahead,
Close your eyes.
Let's sit with this energy together and see what happens.
Drop those shoulders,
Maybe relax your jaw,
The palms of your hands.
So as you begin to anchor more into your body and into this moment,
Let's start to say hello on an energetic technical level to the vibration of survival energy.
And it often emanates and begins somewhere around the base of the spine.
If you've ever had a pang of fear,
You might have noticed it down there or somewhere in your gut.
So we can consider the lower base of the spine area where some of our instincts come from,
Our survival energy.
Maybe the opposite end of the spectrum is the top of the head where we have ideas and wisdom and insight.
Allow that survival energy in relationship to money to just start to arise.
You've probably had this feeling many times,
Like oh there's not enough.
A fear of lack,
An uncertainty of how you're going to pay a bill or what to do next.
And as uncomfortable as this may be,
This is why we're here,
To face it and to heal it.
So let that survival energy come up.
It might be a vibration,
A feeling,
It might even have a color to it.
Of course,
There very well may be some resistance to it,
Some judgment around it.
This energy might be very familiar to you.
So what is it like to just sit with survival energy?
Like,
Ah,
There's this fear of my relationship to money and the future.
Okay.
You're just watching it with a sense of presence.
If you start to feel uncomfortable,
You're watching the uncomfortability with a sense of neutral awareness.
You might notice how your body reacts.
And your job here is to get comfortable and familiar with the uncomfortable.
And you can also allow yourself to add the element of compassion.
So it's very likely that your relationship to money needs work.
Can you be compassionate towards yourself around that?
That you're growing into a new consciousness around money.
Notice in your body if there's anywhere where you contract when you think about this topic.
Do you avoid?
Do you override?
Do you start to overthink or blame or judge?
Just notice your reactions.
As you sit with this energy,
What might start to happen is some insight might arise.
It might not be the biggest insight ever.
It might be.
But it might just be,
Oh,
I'm in more resistance than I realized.
Or I get triggered into fear quickly.
Meditation is all about the cultivation of self-awareness.
So from a centered place inside your being,
You're just noticing the various energies and reactions and being accepting,
Compassionate,
And still as they arise.
And so next,
I would like you to begin to ask yourself the question,
What would a healthy relationship with survival around money for you look like?
So is it coming out of fear?
Is it getting financial help,
Strategy,
Insight from an expert?
Is it being more compassionate towards yourself?
Go ahead and ask that question and then just allow an insight to arise.
You might see it in the form of an image.
It might come in through words or a feeling.
Just sit still here for a moment with me and notice whatever it is that you notice.
Allow that insight to start to seep into your being.
Really feel it in your body that it's possible to take a step in relationship to this survival energy around money.
Let yourself feel your inner power.
If this is a challenge for you in your life,
Then it's also an opportunity to grow.
So what does that growth look like for you?
Who do you become when you step into it?
And what is the energy that emanates out of you?
Is it groundedness,
Stability,
Security?
Do you begin to provide for others?
Let yourself feel that.
Go ahead and take a nice deep breath.
Really amazing work.
Thank you for sitting with me and taking a look at this survival energy.
You can do this meditation again if you need to.
The need to survive is in every single human being and it can often bring up fear and uncertainty.
And that's the nature of being a person,
Of being a human on earth.
And your meditation practice is here to help you face that,
Get insight and guidance,
And grow through it.
Thank you for sitting with me as always.
I wish you the best,
All the abundance in the world,
Security,
Stability,
Groundedness,
Whatever it is that you're looking to create.
Thank you for being here with me and I'll see you soon.
Love you.
