Mastering Personal Finances

Vasavi suggests that we often treat possibilities around finances as fixed. She asks you to be curious about a shift: the amount of money may have limits, but your capacity to make, offer and bring things into the world does not. She repeats the line so it can settle in, first as 'your' ability and then as 'my' ability.

She lets the idea travel with your attention: toes, heels, ankles, calves, behind the knees, hamstrings, quads, hips, stomach, torso, chest, back, neck, shoulders, arms and fingers. When it reaches your fingertips, she asks you to let creative energy flow out of them. It gives the idea a physical feeling rather than leaving it as a thought.

You imagine giving yourself permission to be more of you, perhaps by doing the thing you have wanted to put into the world but haven't. She asks what we would see and feel when you are at your best. She says it may feel a little scary but exhilarating, and she calls that feeling your key to inner and outer richness.

She calls it your compass and your anchor. When something feels off, ask yourself 'Who am I at my best?' and notice what that feels like. She also invites you to let the feeling become your new home, and to return to this meditation any time you need it.

They offer reassurance after you have pictured yourself more fully. She says you are safe, taken care of and okay, and that it is safe to explore, to create, to be visible and to say how you feel out loud. They speak to the hesitation that can come with showing more of yourself.

She guides a few breaths, including one inhale held for a count of four, then a slow release. After that you wiggle your toes, fingers, legs, arms, shoulders and neck, lift your eyebrows, move your mouth, smile and release before opening your eyes. It brings you back gently and a little lighter.
