Today as I started to meditate I found myself thinking about money. Making money, saving money, investing money… It occurred to me that I spend a lot of time and energy thinking about what I want. It’s always something – to be more fit, to have more, to achieve more.
Quickly I realized that I was swimming in materialism while trying to meditate. I dropped my awareness down deeper into myself and affirmed, “my life is overflowing with abundance.” At first I didn’t feel it, but something in me would not budge until I felt the words I was saying. So I started to think about all the blessings in my life – too many to count.
After a few minutes I felt it. When I was done meditating I went into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. I noticed my beautiful fruit bowl that my brother and sister-in-law made me years ago full of bannanas, pears, and apples. I grabbed my favorite coffee mug out of the cupboard. It’s purple and says, “prosperity” on it.
I can still feel it and am so grateful that I remembered all that I am and all that I have.
