Welcome.
Take a slow,
Gentle breath in and let it fall out softly.
Let your shoulders drop,
Let your jaw unclench,
Let the space around your eyes soften.
If you're here,
There's a good chance you've been worrying about money.
Maybe it feels tight,
Maybe you're afraid it will run out,
Maybe you're scared you'll never quite have what you truly desire.
Money worry has a way of tightening everything.
It makes your chest feel heavy,
Makes your thoughts race into the future,
Makes you feel like you have to fix everything right now.
But for these next few minutes,
You don't have to fix anything.
You just get to breathe,
To be here,
To let your system know that in this moment you're safe enough to soften.
I know that money worry feels so real,
But the feeling is not a financial report.
It's not a prophecy,
It's not a warning from the universe.
Money worry is a reflection of learned thinking.
Most of us have been taught to panic about money,
To believe that there is never enough,
To race for the worst,
To equate fear with truth.
But fear is loud because it's scared,
Not because it's wise.
Let me say that again.
Fear is loud because it's scared,
But not because it's wise.
Your soul,
The quiet steady part of you,
Never speaks in drama or catastrophe.
Doesn't shout,
Doesn't rush,
It doesn't threaten.
Your soul already knows how much money you have,
What your true desires are,
And the most effortless path that can unfold from here.
Worry pulls you outward into stories and what-ifs.
Wisdom draws you inward into truth and the next steps.
And what you're feeling right now,
This money worry,
Can be seen not as a punishment,
But as an invitation.
An invitation to come back to yourself,
To disengage from the drama in your mind and listen for the whisper underneath.
So let me share a moment with you,
Something that I think you will be able to relate to if you're here.
There have been many times where I've woken in the middle of the night,
Heart racing,
Mindful of numbers and fears.
Thoughts like,
What if it's not enough?
What if I've made mistakes?
What if it all collapses?
In one of those moments,
With my mind spinning,
I heard something quieter underneath all the noise.
This is an invitation to come back to yourself.
Not an instruction to do more,
Not a demand to fix everything,
Just an invitation inward.
That didn't magically change my external situation at that second,
But it changed my state.
From that calmer place,
I could feel my inner wisdom again.
And so the next steps became clearer,
The panic softened,
And I'm sure you've had moments like this too.
Times when you followed a quiet nudge,
When you listened to something deeper than fear,
When you made a choice that felt right in your body,
Even if it didn't make perfect sense on paper.
So right now,
I invite you to reconnect with that part of you now.
If it feels okay,
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
Feel the warmth of your own touch,
Feel the rise in the form of your breath.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and a gentle longer breath out through your mouth.
Let your shoulders drop a little more,
Let your jaw loosen,
Let your belly soften.
Now notice the money worry as if it were a movie playing in front of you,
The thoughts,
The images,
The worst case scenarios.
See if you can step a little bit back from it as if you are watching it instead of being pulled inside it.
And from this slightly quieter place,
Ask yourself,
What does my soul know about this situation that I'm worried about that my mind doesn't?
Let that question sink in again slowly.
What does my soul know about this that my worried mind cannot see?
You don't need an immediate answer.
Soul doesn't rush.
It rises in the spaces you create.
Take another slow breath.
I'd like you to gently remember a time in your life when you listened to that deeper knowing,
A time when you followed a nudge,
Maybe you reacted to someone,
Said yes to an invitation,
Walked away from something that wasn't quite right,
Or chose rest instead of pushing.
Let one moment arise now.
And notice how that decision felt,
Not in your head,
But in your body.
Maybe it felt softer,
Lighter,
More open,
More true.
Stay with that memory for a moment and let your body remember what it feels like to trust your own wisdom.
Now from this place,
Ask again,
What does my soul know about this money situation that fear is hiding from me?
And then,
What is actually true right now?
Not the stories,
Not the imagined future,
Just this moment.
Perhaps the truth is as simple as I am breathing.
I am here.
I have survived every hard moment so far.
I'm not alone in this.
Breathe that in.
And finally,
Ask yourself,
What is the gentle,
Honest next step for me?
Not the 10-year plan,
Not the perfect solution,
Just the next step that brings even 1% more relief to your body.
Let that step appear in its own timing.
Trust the first quiet,
Kind thing that arises.
Now as we come to a close,
Take one more soft breath in and let it fall out of your body with a sigh.
Money worry doesn't mean you're failing,
Doesn't mean there will never be enough.
It means your mind has gotten loud and your soul is inviting you back home.
You have listened to your soul before,
You have followed nudges before,
You've made wise choices,
And you've made choices even in the middle of fear.
And you can do that again and again and again.
So whenever money worry rises,
Notice it.
Something that really helps me is to say to myself,
Oh,
There I go again.
And you can turn,
Return to the simple practice.
This will help you step out of the drama and come back to your body.
And once again,
You can ask,
What does my soul know about this that my worried mind doesn't?
The beautiful thing is that this is a reminder,
One that you can always keep coming back to.
Let it be a companion for the moments when fear feels loud and you long to feel held again.
For now,
Move gently into the rest of your day.
Take things slowly,
Drink some water,
Feel your feet on the ground and trust that beneath the noise,
Your soul knows the way.
