In this culture of busy, it is a great act of rebellion to rest. To lay down the striving, the pushing, the never-enoughness — and to trust, deeply and completely, that all that is meant for you is already flowing towards you. Rest is not the opposite of abundance. It is the doorway.
So often we believe there is a choice to be made between wealth and rest — that in order to create abundance we must work hard, push harder, and somehow still feel like it’s never quite enough. That hustle is the only path.
But as we move away from effort and striving and towards a more truly abundant life — a life of balance between the yin and the yang, between creating, believing and receiving — rest becomes not a luxury, but an essential part of the process.
When in a deep state of rest (a theta state) we are able to reprogram the mind with healthy abundant belief systems, try repeating the below to your self several times and notice any changes:
- I allow myself to receive with grace and ease
- As I rest, I allow abundance to find me
- I am a magnet for wealth, opportunity and prosperity
- I trust in the infinite generosity of the universe
If you would like to work with me on a more abundant life, I am running a series of meditations, Thursday evenings via zoom. Join my WhatsApp group for more info.
