Abundance is a significant theme in my life right now. I am experiencing so much these days as a result of this powerful work that I am doing called The Process. A year and a half ago, I met an extraordinary man, an alchemist really, in a barn in Cotati, California. That meeting would change the course of my life. Greg Scherick is his name and the more work I do with him, the more I realize that he is a life giver, a time stretcher and a magician. Flawlessly, he has helped me to challenge my destructive belief systems and transform my life into one filled with limitless success.
Before The Process, I was afraid of power and avoided taking responsibility for my life by holding on to my addiction to self-loathing. Generously, Greg snapped me out of that one, beckoning me into a world of radiance and vitality. Finally, I can breathe and I am able to hold a sense of value that continues to invite more and more wealth into my life. I have learned from my adventures in The Process that abundance is really about having the courage to challenge your perceived limitations so that you may become the force that you wish to attract. What is more valuable than that?
As I was heading to East Yoga last Sunday to teach class, I could feel some of my old habits resurface. Earlier in the day, I had been asked by a friend of mine to sing Amazing Grace in class. I had agreed to it because I knew how significant the request was and I wanted to honor her courage for asking, but I could feel the fear. What would others think? Would I be “good enough”? Would I come off as pretentious or arrogant?
I could feel myself tightening inside. My mind took off in hot pursuit, chasing the doubt and globalizing like crazy. Time suddenly seemed in scarce supply. Would I be late for class? Would anybody come? Did I even have enough time in my schedule to keep up with everything that I was doing this summer--the influx of clients and classes and the many workshops and events I was helping to organize for The Process? Would East even be a big enough space for the workshops we were planning there? Then I remembered what Greg said: “Sound your note, and the chorus of the Universe responds.” I could hardly believe it. I relaxed inside. I could feel the power of the work that I had done in The Process like a gust of wind under my wings, lifting me upwards and encouraging me to forge ahead.
When I walked through the doors at East, I was in shock. I couldn’t believe how much the space had changed. Someone had really given the room some attention and with a few adjustments had given birth to a completely new space. I marveled at what I saw and it made me smile. I could feel the universe communicating with me, helping me to embrace how much space I had created in my own life.
I walked into class. Before I could even worry about whether anyone would show up, the room was filled with people. I took a glance at the clock: ten minutes to spare. Plenty of time to connect to new faces and welcome familiar ones. Plenty of time to make room for an unending stream of students. Even those who only seemed to walk by to grab a schedule were sucked in to the alchemical vortex of wealth and abundance that lay beyond the threshold. I could feel the buzz in the room. It was alive. The more determined I became, the more present everyone else was. My courage was contagious. By the time I started class, the room was so full that Christine and I were worried we might have to turn people away, but somehow we managed to find a few spaces next to the sign-in desk for the late-comers.
Class poured out of me like a symphony, conducted with great ease. Each person had a part. I invited everyone to join me on the voyage of abundance. I watched as the willingness in the room increased. Egoic identifications melted away as people challenged their physical limitations. I watched the collective come alive, strength and flexibility shared throughout the room. It was a gorgeous sight to see.
When finally everyone laid on the floor, knees bent in constructive rest, I witnessed something wildly magical: the wealth and abundance of the breath in the room, each person a giving and receiving machine. It was mesmerizing and dropped me into a sense of timelessness that I had tasted before, but had never experienced in quite this way.
As constructive rest turned into savasana, I was overcome with gratitude, awed by what I had created simply by being able to allow what was already there. I was able to drop into the wave of abundance in the room like catching the ultimate ride, without being leveled by the force of the wave.
I was on a magic carpet ride until I remembered. Amazing Grace. Suddenly, my throat tensed and I could hear my heart beat again. I could feel the fear bubble up. Would I be able to do it? This was it, the challenge I was being prepared for throughout the entire class. I scanned the room and found my friend. She looked so peaceful on the floor. I realized that my fear didn’t matter, it wasn’t even about me. This was an opportunity to challenge my limitations.
I sat down at the front of class and I did it. I dropped in. Even as I took a breath to begin I could hear the voices, poking and prodding but again The Process came to my rescue. I swallowed my pride and did what I was asked to do. The first “amazing” tumbled from my lips. It was precarious at best. I felt the shame bubble up, then something miraculous happened. One by one everybody in the class started to sing. It was incredible. I had offered my part--I sang the words—and then it all came back to me, multiplied a hundred times. I never imagined that the whole class would sing with me! It was glorious! I was flying again. Soaring high above. I did it! I had slain the demon of fear.
I found myself in a glorious expanse of time and space. I had never felt more alive. The world was entirely new and I was basking in the afterglow. I had sounded my note and the Universe responded.
I don’t think I really understood the magnitude of that teaching until that moment in the classroom. It is a powerful experience to witness how our willingness to brave ahead inspires others to do the same. I am not sure there is anything more meaningful in life. I feel so fortunate to have met Greg, as he has trained me to make magic of the world. I will admit, sometimes it feels like the hardest thing I have ever done, but the rewards are immeasurable.
So, I ask, does abundance appeal to you?
