Welcome to this practice on a guided meditation for abundance.
I'd like to start by just acknowledging that you are here and you made this time,
You carved it out and showed up for yourself.
Take a moment to thank yourself for showing up as you settle in wherever you are.
Sitting or lying down,
It doesn't matter.
Let your body find the position it wants to be in.
Feel the surface beneath you.
Feel the weight of your body resting into it.
The floor or the bed or the chair holding you completely without asking anything of you in return.
And notice that for a second.
The ground is always there and you have never once had to ask its support and you've never had to earn it.
It has simply been there every single time.
Breathe yourself into this space.
Let your eyes close gently and take one long,
Slow breath in through your nose and a full,
Relaxed breath out.
And continue to breathe at your own pace.
Breathing in slowly,
All the way down into your belly.
And breathing out completely,
Letting your shoulders drop.
And let your jaw soften as you inhale again.
And as you let that breath out,
Let your hands open.
There is nothing to hold on to right now.
There is nowhere you need to be but here.
Bring your attention now into your body.
Start at the top of your head and let your awareness move slowly downwards.
Down your forehead and the space around your eyes.
Your cheeks,
Your jaw.
Let each place you visit soften just a little.
Your throat and neck.
Your shoulders.
Let them drop a little further even than you think they need to.
Feel your shoulder blades drop down your back.
And your chest.
Your ribcage expanding and releasing with each breath.
Your belly rising and falling,
Steady and rhythmic.
Your lower back and your hips.
All the places where your body makes contact with the surface beneath you.
Feel that contact,
Real and solid.
Your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calves,
All the muscles that hold you all day.
Your feet and all the way down to the tips of your toes.
And take a moment here to embody your whole body breathing,
Held,
Supported.
Already without effort,
In receipt of exactly what it needs to function,
To live,
To be here.
And I invite you now to notice something.
There's likely somewhere inside you a voice that may be quiet,
May be persistent,
May be so familiar you stopped noticing it.
A voice that says,
Not enough.
Not enough money.
Not enough time.
Not enough of you to go around.
Not enough,
Not enough,
Not enough.
This voice has been trying to protect you.
It's trying to keep you scanning and alert and prepared.
It is trying to keep you safe.
But today we're not going to argue with it.
And we're not going to fight it or force it on you.
We're simply going to gently,
Gently set it down.
Just for the duration of this practice.
It will still be there when you return to the day,
If you need it.
But for now,
We're stepping somewhere else.
Somewhere else you can always choose to step to.
We're stepping into the field.
Imagine now that you are standing at the edge of a meadow in the fullness of summer.
This is not a grand or extraordinary or luxurious place.
It's quiet and simple,
An ordinary meadow.
The kind you might have walked past a hundred times and not stopped to look at properly.
But stop now and look.
The grass is long and soft,
Moving gently in a warm breeze.
There are wildflowers here,
Scattered without any design or plan.
Simply growing because this is where they landed,
And this is enough.
Clover,
Buttercups,
Little purple things you don't know the names of.
They don't need you to know their names.
They're just here,
Fully and completely without apology.
The sky above you is enormous.
That particular summer blue that feels almost impossible,
Like someone telling to dial up too far.
And the sun is warm on your face and the tops of your arms.
It's not too hot,
Just held.
Take a breath of this air,
Clean and green and slightly sweet.
And now take one step forward into the field.
Feel the grass beneath your feet.
Feel the soft give of the earth.
The ground here is generous.
It has been holding things,
Growing things for longer than you can imagine,
Without fanfare,
Without needing to be thanked.
Simply giving and giving and giving again,
Regenerating in its own life cycle.
This is what enough feels like.
Not dazzling,
Not loud,
Just this.
Warm and real and present and unhurried.
Walk a little further in.
Let the grass brush your hands at your sides.
Notice that wherever you look,
There is more,
More grass.
More flowers,
More sky.
The field does not run out.
It does not save itself for someone more deserving.
It does not check whether you've earned your place in it.
You are simply here and the field is simply generous.
And that is all.
Find a place now in the field that feels right and sit down there.
Let the earth take your weight completely.
Feel the warmth that has been stored there all day,
Rising up to meet you.
Close your eyes within this imagining and just breathe.
The scent of warm grass.
The sound of insects somewhere nearby.
A bird distant and unhurried.
A very ordinary,
Very perfect sound of a summer afternoon that is asking absolutely nothing of you.
Sit here and feel it.
And as you sit here in the middle of this generous field,
Let these words move through you.
You can repeat them silently inside yourself or simply let them land.
I am already in a field of enough.
There is enough for me here.
I do not have to chase it.
I do not have to earn it.
I simply have to receive it.
Breathe that in.
Let it settle somewhere below your thinking might.
In your chest or in your belly.
In the places where the scarcity voice lives.
I am already in a field of enough.
There is enough for me here.
I do not have to chase it.
I do not have to earn it.
I simply have to receive it.
And while you sit here quietly,
I would like to offer you something now.
And for you to hear not just as a nice idea but as something true.
Scarcity is a state your nervous system learned.
Somewhere,
At some point,
There was not enough.
Or the fear of not enough was so present that your whole system reorganized itself around that threat.
And it has been working so hard for so long,
Scanning and planning and bracing.
Trying to make sure it never happens again.
But here is what is also true.
Abundance is not a reward.
It is not something you unlock when you have done enough or achieved enough.
Or become enough.
Abundance is the natural state of a nervous system that feels safe enough to receive.
And you cannot receive when you are bracing.
You cannot receive when every muscle is tensed against the next disaster.
You cannot receive when your hands are clenched.
So this practice,
Right now,
Is not about manifesting or attracting or sending signals to the universe.
It is much simpler than that.
It is about opening just a little,
Just enough.
Just enough to let something in.
Look around this field again with your eyes of your imagination.
The abundance here is not dramatic.
It didn't announce itself.
It was simply here,
Waiting,
Ordinary and inexhaustible,
For you to stop and notice it.
This is always the case.
Abundance is rarely where we are frantically looking.
It is almost always in the place we forgot to look,
Because we were too busy worrying about what we didn't have.
Let these words move through you.
I open my eyes.
I open my hands.
I open my heart.
I am ready to receive.
Abundance finds me in ordinary places.
I trust that what I need is already making its way towards me.
I do not have to force this.
I only have to make room for it.
I open my hands.
I open my heart.
I am ready to receive.
Abundance finds me in ordinary places.
I trust that what I need is already making its way towards me.
I do not have to force this.
I only have to make room for it.
I open my hands.
And these final ones,
Let them move slowly and give each one a breath of its own.
I am enough to receive abundance.
And I am safe to have more than I need.
I allow good things to come to me without suspicion,
Without guilt,
Without bracing for them to be taken away.
I am at home in this field.
I have always been at home in this field.
I am enough to receive abundance.
I am safe to have more than I need.
I allow good things to come to me without suspicion,
Without guilt,
Without bracing for them to be taken away.
I am at home in this field.
I have always been at home in this field.
Rest here now for a moment.
In this warm ground.
In this generous,
Ordinary day.
Let the sun be on your face.
Let the ground hold you.
Notice what you feel in your body right now.
Maybe a softening.
Maybe a warmth.
Maybe just a very small,
Quiet sense that things might be okay.
That is enough.
That is more than enough.
That is the beginning of everything.
When you're ready,
Begin slowly and gently to bring your awareness back to the room you're in.
Allow your fingers to gently wake up,
And your toes and your arms and your face.
Take a deeper breath,
And let it out fully.
Feel the surface beneath your physical body,
Real and present and solid.
And very gently,
In your own time,
Let your eyes begin to open.
And as they do,
Carry something back with you from that field.
Not an idea or a plan,
But just a felt sense.
A body memory of what it feels like to sit in the middle of enough and to know it.
And know that that field,
That vision,
That memory is yours now.
You can return to it any time the scarcity voice gets loud.
Just close your eyes.
Feel the warm grass.
Remember the field does not run out.
And thank you for spending this time with yourself today.
For choosing just for these minutes to believe that you are worth receiving.
You are,
And you always have been.
Thank you so much for sharing your space with me today.
Have a gentle and generous day.
