So first,
Just finding the body,
Paying attention to how the body is doing right in this moment,
Closing the eyes or lowering the gaze,
And just checking in.
And seeing if you want,
If there's any tightness in the body,
Doing a little scan and seeing where it's possible to relax a little bit more or a little bit or a little bit more.
And then just beginning a kind of internal investigation,
Where do I feel I have enough in my life?
And maybe starting with a place where many of us have enough,
Do I have enough food?
And if that's true,
That's true for you,
Then maybe just saying that to yourself,
I have enough.
Do I have enough clothes?
I'm just saying I have enough,
If that's true.
And I have enough warmth,
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere,
Or coolness,
If you're in the Southern right now.
In other words,
Do I have enough energy to be comfortable right now?
And if so,
Just saying to yourself,
I have enough.
And then what about friends and family?
Some of us may not feel like we have enough.
But if we do,
Maybe we can say I have enough.
And if we don't,
Maybe we can hold that gently with self compassion.
And what about wisdom?
Can we say that I have enough?
We have as much as we can possibly have in this moment.
And how about compassion?
And love?
Do we have enough?
Can we say to ourselves,
I have enough?
And then can we widen the aperture,
Widen the lens and ask,
Where do I feel like there is enough in the world?
Or in my community,
Is there enough food to go around?
It may not be going around.
But is there enough?
And is there something that I can do to make that a reality for more people?
Maybe I can remind myself there is enough.
And is there enough energy for whatever we need?
If we were more generous with one another and didn't take more than we needed?
Can we say there is enough for everyone?
And is there enough compassion?
Is there enough love to go around,
Even if we're not spreading it around?
And can we look at that and say,
Actually,
There is enough?
How can we spread it around a little bit more evenly?
So I have enough,
There is enough.
And then in what ways can we say to ourselves,
I am enough?
I'm fine,
Just as I am.
All the striving and working so hard and doing.
Even our practice,
Can we also can we also remember that we are enough?
And can we say that to ourselves,
I am enough.
