Abundance & Havingness

Ruwan describes it as the subconscious expectation of how much you are meant to have in areas like love, money, respect and comfort. If you fall below it, you are pushed to climb back up. If you rise above it, there can be a pull to self-sabotage and return to what feels familiar. This session works on the money side of it.

The idea is that the animal part of your subconscious doesn't understand bank accounts or expenses. It only understands survival, and it treats the familiar as safe and the unknown as dangerous. So when your wealth could expand, that part may contract and push you toward self-sabotage. The practice shows it that these sensations can be felt safely.

You start with your current wealth and notice how your body feels. Then you imagine giving away a comfortable sum and raise it until it stops feeling good. That marks your fear-of-loss number. Later you imagine receiving small sums and raise them until the excitement fades, which marks your upside number. You can then compare the two.

It is compared to massaging a sore muscle. You put firm but gentle attention on any tightness, physical or energetic, and breathe into it. You can imagine circulation improving there and energy flowing where it didn't before. If you feel nothing, you imagine something like a contracted muscle holding your wealth at this level.

Near the end you picture a larger income arriving regularly, then stopping, then starting again, and then stopping once more before a last time on. You watch for contraction at each change. The goal is to enjoy the feeling of having more without the fear of losing it, which the session calls a sign that your havingness has grown.

Ruwan says your current level was conditioned by past events, so a higher one has to be reconditioned through repetition. When money fear comes up, treat it as a chance to feel and release the tension. When excitement about money comes up, do the same. You can also return to this meditation any time.
