“Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.”— Suze Orman
Depending on your perspective, the holidays can either be a joyful time shared with family and friends or a dismal demonstration of unrealized expectations. The choice is yours. Abundance is everywhere, if you choose to look for it.
In my annual class this past Thursday, twenty-two students and I reflected on the concept of abundance:what it means to us, how we can create more if it and how we can share it with those around us.
Our practice included over an hour of movement, but that was the least of it; meaningful practice tugs more at the heart than the hamstrings. Today, I’d like to share some quotes, breath practices, and meditations we explored.
First Quote:“Whatever we are waiting for — peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance — it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.”—Sarah Ban Breathnach
First Breath Practice:
First Meditation Question: How can I invite abundance into my life, regardless of my material wealth?
Second Quote:“The universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.”— Deepak Chopra
Second Breath Practice:
Second Meditation Question: How can I create abundance in the lives of those around me?
At the end of class, each student chose a string of prosperity hens that was crafted by artisan women in India. Hens symbolize prosperity in Indian culture, because any family fortunate enough to own a hen has a continual source of nourishment. I hope the hens will remind each student to be grateful and generous in the season ahead.
I hope this practice does the same for you.
