Money & Reverence: Remember
The Reverence Framework is a trauma-sensitive, embodied, spiritually, psychologically, and energetically-rooted approach to healing and growing into your true potential that leads to joyful right action with your money and all of your resources.
In last week's post, I shared the first and most foundational step - to Root & Resource. In order to make our best and most aligned choices with money, we need to be in a state of presence and calm. To root, you notice the body, take some breaths, and compassionately bring oneself into the body and the present moment. This then allows you to see and receive the resources that are available to you. To Root and to Resource is the active cultivation of awareness, presence, and safety which creates the conditions for the next step, which is To Remember.
To Remember is to know the truth.
One of the most insidious and harmful aspects of carrying scarcity wounding that is activated by money, is that more often than not the fear, the despair, and the anxiety is not based fully on reality.
To remember is to root into the truth, To understand the contours and the landscape of your relationship with money as it stands today. Not only to look be clear on what's happening with you and your money but also to compassionately and honestly look at your relationship to money.
What is true with you and your money?
With clear eyes and an open heart, you must seek the truth. How do you feel about money? Are you bringing your strengths to your relationship with money, or do you feel helpless? Where are you struggling in your relationship with money? Where are you getting spun up into anxiety?
To Remember is so vital because one of the biggest things I see over and over with women who are struggling in their relationship with money is that they are not even particularly connected to the truth of what is actually happening with their money. So a lot of the anxiety and the fear that women are experiencing is driven by a narrative of fear rather than what's actually happening.
To Remember shows us the wound of scarcity.
The anxiety and fear women experience around money is often related to the past - to a history of trauma or wounding related to money or self-worth. Right here and right now, these wounds unconsciously drive action, or inaction, with money. So to Remember is to ground into the truth. To know, and to claim, what is actually true - not the anxious narratives about what could happen.
This is a nod to your wholeness and capacity.
To Remember is to know the landscape of your relationship with money and to see the truth without condemning yourself. To remember is to see what's happening because, in order to change something, you must be willing to look at it - to see yourself as human and whole, no matter what is happening with you and money. You must be willing to see the ground truth of what's happening so can heal, forge a new path with money, and experience life and a business that feels more aligned and alive and abundant.
As always, I would love to hear from you - With compassion and curiosity, what do you do well with your money? In what ways do you experience scarcity wounding with your relationship to money? Tell me everything.
