“a slow burn that leads to personal reinvention”
client query:
“i am paralyzed by my fear of scarcity but need to find a path that feels more like what i’m meant to be doing”
when we experience disconnection from our work - especially if it had at one time given us joy or fulfillment - often a transformation is taking place, bringing us closer to purpose.
once goals that used to seem important to achieve, no longer align, we’re often being asked to serve more outside of ourselves + sometimes, in a greater way to the good of the collective.
because money + resources are energetic, they can be used as a mirror in the work we do around what we create, how, + why.
however; we cannot apply universality to giving + receiving. we must also consider that we live in a world that does not offer the same “flow” to all;
that systematic imbalance, accessbility, + privilege are also factors in conversations regarding scarcity fears; that ancestral trauma factors into wounds around resources in this lifetime.
this type of inner work requires a multi-faceted approach, + healing//realization on many levels.
it takes tremendous bravery to step outside of the mental + emotional loops that can keep us trapped in modes of fear.
when we’re ready, spiritual wellness guidance can help to lay a foundation; to inspire curiousity around what clues our soul’s blueprint offers. It can shape larger conversations with healers + therapists of many potential modalities. It can ask us to take a moment each day to check-in with ourselves; to learn, to show compassion, to grow.
this example gives a bit of insight on how some of this client’s placements opened us up to further explore the disconnect between her scarcity fears + a desire to boldly pursue a more aligned career, + legacy.
