Welcome,
Let's talk about something most spiritual teachings avoid,
Money,
The fear of not having enough,
The anxiety that wakes you at 3am,
The tightness in your chest when you check your bank account,
The shame,
The comparisons,
The constant calculation running in the background of your mind.
Financial stress isn't just about numbers,
It's about survival.
When you are worried about money,
Our nervous system interprets it as a threat to our existence.
And in a sense,
It's right.
In this world,
Money is tied to shelter,
Food,
Security.
But here's what I've learned.
The energy of scarcity creates more scarcity.
When we grip,
We constrict.
When we constrict,
We can't receive.
We can't see opportunities.
We make decisions from fear rather than wisdom.
I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter,
Or that you should just think positive.
That's not helpful.
What I will offer you is a practice that has been used for thousands of years to shift from scarcity consciousness to abundance consciousness.
In the Vedic tradition,
Lakshmi is the goddess of abundance.
Not just material wealth,
But prosperity in all its forms.
Health is abundance.
Love is abundance.
Creativity is abundance.
Time is abundance.
Lakshmi's energy isn't about accumulation or greed.
It's about flow.
She's often depicted standing on a lotus in water,
With gold coins flowing from her hands.
The image is one of natural,
Continuous circulation.
Wealth isn't hoarded.
It moves.
The mantra we'll work with is Om Shreem Mahalakshmi Namaha.
Shreem is Lakshmi's seed sound.
It's the vibration of abundance itself.
When you chant it,
You're tuning your entire being to the frequency of prosperity.
Mahalakshmi means to the great Lakshmi.
Namaha means I bow or I offer myself.
This practice isn't about magically manifesting money.
It's about shifting your inner state so that you can receive what's available,
See what's possible,
And act from trust rather than fear.
Let's begin.
Find your seat.
Let your body be grounded,
Your spine tall.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Consciously release the grip of financial worry.
Just for these 10 minutes,
Let it go.
Another breath.
And feel your hands resting on your thighs,
Palms facing upward,
This is the gesture of receiving.
Open palms,
Open heart,
Open mind.
One more breath and set an intention.
Not for a specific amount,
But for a shift.
A shift from scarcity to sufficiency.
From fear to trust.
From constriction to flow.
We'll start with the seed sound.
Shreem.
This sound vibrates at the frequency of abundance.
Let it fill your chest,
Your heart,
Your whole being.
Shreem.
Maha Lakshmi Namaha.
Listen to the melody first.
Let the mantra be an offering,
Not a demand.
You're not begging for money.
You are aligning with the energy of abundance that's already present in the universe.
Let the mantra settle into your cells.
Notice how you feel right now.
There may be a softness,
An opening,
A subtle shift from there's never enough to I am supported.
This feeling is not naive.
It's not ignoring reality.
It's creating the inner conditions for abundance to flow.
From this place,
You will make better decisions.
You'll see opportunities you were too contracted to notice.
You'll take action from wisdom rather than panic.
Lakshmi's abundance is not separate from you.
It flows through you,
Always has.
This practice simply clears the channel.
When financial anxiety returns,
Then it will.
Return to this mantra,
Even silently.
Om Shreem.
Shreem.
Two syllables that can shift everything.
Bring your hands together at your heart.
Bow your head in gratitude for what you have,
For what's coming,
For the abundance that's always present.
Om Shreem Maha Lakshmi Namaha.
Gently open your eyes.
