More Than Enough Sunshine for Us All

Do you struggle with fear? I do. I struggle, the most often, with the fear of "not enough." Fear of not enough money, success, originality, it has many different forms. This leads me to negative feelings and dampers my personal enthusiasm to pursue my goals. I even find myself particularly challenged on congratulating others when they are doing well, especially in areas of similar interest. I find myself "worried" that I can't do what they have done because a) they have already done it b) there isn't enough to go around.

To counteract this negativity, I know I need to put my faith to the Universe, that it will deliver. That whatever I put out there, will come back to me. If I find joy in other people's successes, the more likely I will be to succeed. If I only feed on the feeling of scarcity, I will never have enough.

I continually work to open my heart, so that I may embrace what is around me. That I may find joy in being grateful for what I do have. To obtain this more positive outlook, is a practice. To put this practice into motion so to speak, I have created this mantra in correlation of doing my Sun Salutations. I find it beneficial not only in time of fear, but any time I need to connect with my more "authentic self".

Starting with hands at the heart center, in Namaste (the prayer gesture),
"I send love and light to those people/experiences that challenge me"

Inhaling arms up,
"I am grateful to the sun surrounds me"

Exhaling folding forward,
"There is more than enough sunshine for us all"

Inhaling half way up, flat back,
"I open my heart to the Universe, it always delivers what I need"

Exhaling folding forward,
"I am grateful for the sun that surrounds me"

Inhaling arms up,
"There is more than enough sunshine for us all"

Exhaling hands to heart center,
"I send light and love to those people/experiences that challenge me"

I will repeat the practice till, I can actually feel the love, the light, the gratefulness. I will know I have opened my heart when I can do the practices with a smile on my face.
