I AM AFFIRMING ABUNDANCE
“The key to abundance is to meet limited circumstances with unlimited thoughts.”
– Marianne Williamson
dear ones,
as we approach a new month and the season of spring, i want to invite us all in to revival and abundance. what beautiful newness we see around us as mother nature tends to her seasons.
the vibrance and vibration of this time can recharge us and if we are available to what nature teaches us, we have an opportunity to awaken abundance and call in a mindset that offers ourselves and others enrichment and abundant amplitude. spring teaches us abundance of life. it shows us what happens in a growth mindset. it urges us to share in its exchange of flourished energy. it awakens abundance in us and invites us in on the celebration of overflow.
abundance starts with a posture of the mind and a heart in the orientation of gratitude, simply speaking it asks us to be present, to be grateful for what we already have. the beautiful thing here friends, is that abundance is already inside of us. the vastness we see in the ocean, the heavens, the universe. . .that’s inside us too. practicing the honoring of what we do have cultivates abundance inherently, there is little else we need when we model this.
abundance is activated, when we shift our belief systems to actively cultivate and focus on limitless abundance instead of scarcity based thoughts and limiting beliefs. what we focus on, we create. as creators, we know the power of forming an idea or thought in our mind, and then bringing it to life inside choreography, movement, direction, etc. this month i want us to give ourselves permission to not only allow, but to AFFIRM abundance in cultivation of thought and dreams.
abundance begins with generosity. when we have an outpouring of heart, energy, source materials, financials, care, etc. it’s achieved when it flows past us, through us. in essence, abundance is defined as a pass through mechanism signifying overspill. abundance isn’t contained - it’s shared. my abundance, is your abundance. your abundance is their abundance, their abundance is yours. abundance unites us.
THE WORK:
what if we called abundance into our movement?
the work this month lies in a ratification of the mind, of taking agency in our pursuit of space, energy, and flow of operations, of creating abundance in thought and its liberation through the use of our facility. what if we began by moving our bodies in a posture of gratitude for each of our fingers and toes, our proprioception, the shape of our instrument, our inclination to hear music so astutely, and general gratefulness for the ability to move. if that was our starting point. . gratefulness. . .what greatness could we achieve?! if we activated abundance by the way we approached our thoughts and general sense of occupancy in the body? if we considered the flow of energy from our bodies, by way of abundance, affects our environments, the worlds we cohabitate, and our energy exchange with others. what could we unlock if we shared access to the generosity inside our own abundance within our process and artistry, with ourselves, and with others?
it’s critical we look at the word affirm. affirm means to accept or confirm validity. if someone gives you a gift you can leave it unwrapped, in front of you, forever. it only becomes yours once you unwrap it and accept it. i want us to look at ways to affirm abundance inside our movement practice, dance language, artistry, and careers instead of just acknowledging abundance. affirming requires action, we alone carry responsibility in it’s application.
generosity. if we are operating out of the mindset of abundance, it doesn’t cost you anything to share your energy. this connects us, and contributes to community. we are tethered to one another, and our responsibility towards one another enriches our dance (and human) experience.
WHAT WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES AS ARTISTS
- am i seeking abundance in my movement practice? am i seeking abundance in life?
- what does abundance in my body feel like? what are the sensations it creates?
- do i approach movement with a growth mindset verses a fixed mindset? how does this serve me?
- what does affirming abundance require of me?
- as i shift to an abundance mindset, how does that reflect in the posture of my body?
as we focus on abundance this month, my hope for you is that you cultivate enrichment of life and movement. that gratefulness surrounds you, and prosperity touches your life and your art. i’m with you, as we continue to commit to the deep work.
light + magic,
kenz
