This is a meditation on the fear of not having enough.
Start by sitting upright but without it being uncomfortable.
Make sure that the front of your body is open so as to receive the full range of your breath.
Close your eyes to turn your attention inwards and start breathing slowly through your nose.
Become entirely still.
The only thing moving in you is the air coming in and out of your nostrils.
Now notice what's happening in your experience of this moment.
The different sounds around you.
The sensations of your chair or cushion beneath you.
And if you feel a particular mood today,
Notice how that mood manifests within your body.
Turn your attention to the sensations of your breath and notice how your body is breathing on autopilot without you having to do anything but to observe this rising and falling movement.
Now starting at the top of your head and all the way down to your toes,
Observe the sensations in your body with curiosity.
If you notice stronger sensations,
Slowly sweep your attention once again on this area and notice if they're linked to any emotion you're feeling today.
If at any point during this meditation you're distracted by thoughts,
Sounds or sensations,
It's perfectly normal and it's okay.
When you notice these thoughts,
Simply bring your attention back to your breath,
That is to the sensation of the air coming in and out of your nostrils or to the rise and fall of your chest or abdomen.
Follow your breath from the very beginning of the inhale to the very end of your exhale.
And now simply by observing your breath,
Allow it to slow down so that the flow of air moving in and out of your body becomes thinner and thinner as if your breath was following the rhythm of tiny waves on a quiet beach.
When you follow your breath with your full attention,
It's as if you're following the waves in the depths of your inner ocean.
You can watch the waves of your thoughts and emotions from an area of calm and serenity.
If you get caught into one of these waves,
It's all right.
Simply bring your attention back to your breath.
I'm now going to ask you to release the focus on your breathing.
To simply be.
To be in a state of acceptance.
I'm now going to ask you a question,
And I'm going to suggest that you answer this question silently.
Do you exist?
Are you aware?
The answer you have likely given to each question is yes.
Now I suggest you try to connect to the place that allows you to answer yes to either or both of these questions.
What is it in your experience that allows you to know that you exist and that you are aware?
Connect to that place that is not a place.
This is your and our being.
This is the blue sky of peace and unconditional joy.
Simply stay in this state of non-interference.
Repeat silently,
I am.
I am a being.
Aware.
While remaining in being,
We're now going to go over seven affirmations to address the fear of not having enough.
First affirmation.
I can observe the fear of not having enough without feeding it.
Second affirmation.
I can listen to,
Speak to,
And ultimately deactivate my fearful parts.
Third affirmation.
I practice releasing preferences.
Fourth affirmation.
Even though there may be clouds,
I am the sky of pure joy.
Fifth affirmation.
I am exactly where I need to be.
Sixth affirmation.
I release control of what I think I need.
Seventh affirmation.
Life knows and provides all I truly need.
Before we finish this meditation,
Once again observe your mood as if you had just landed inside your body.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly start coming out of the meditation.
You can notice the surrounding sounds,
The sensation of the floor or cushion or chair under you,
And of course,
All the surrounding objects.
Colors.
I hope this meditation was meaningful for you.
