A few quotes from 'Lost and Found' by Geneen Roth

​

“
Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a knowing that there is enough and that we are enough. It is consciousness about the way we think about our circumstances: making known to ourselves the power and presence of our existing resources and our inner resources. If we look around us and within ourselves, we will find what we need. There is always enough.
“
It's possible to find what was never lost to begin with - our ability to feel, give, receive, know, question, learn, change - and to allow that to be the wellspring of our worth. When we spend as much time investing in our inner lives as we do in getting and having more, how we live on this earth and inside our bodies will change.

Attune to your Body

Root into your worth and dignity, and explore the felt sense of 'enough' in your body through this practice.

You may do this practice seated on a chair or standing up. Take a moment to notice your feet as it connects with the ground below you.

Perhaps you might roll your shoulders back and down as you reach the crown of your head towards the ceiling. As you find more length across your spine, maybe notice your breath.

You're welcome to use your breath to expand across the full length of your body, perhaps taking in a few deep breaths at your own pace.

As you feel into the full length of your body, you might imagine roots growing down from your feet into the earth, and perhaps imagine the roots supporting you to sit/ stand tall in your inherent worth and dignity. Stay here for a few moments, noticing your breath and rooting further into your worth and dignity.

From this place of feeling rooted in your worth, bring to mind all the resources you have available in your life - both externally and internally. Focus on all the things you DO have and allow these resources - both from within and outside of you to fill every cell in your body.

Perhaps you might notice what the felt sense of enough is like in your body.

You're welcome to revel in this bodily sensation of having enough and being enough for as long as you'd like.

Contemplate with Soul

Invite in gentle curiousity as you sit with the following questions and journal/ draw/ creatively express/ move your body and allow the answers to emerge from within.

  1. Make a list of all your existing resources - both inner and outer. Allow yourself to be extremely generous and expansive with your list, including the air we breathe (and often take for granted or forget), the sun, the sky, your physical and mental abilities etc. Notice how it feels to have all these resources in your life and whether it feels 'enough' to you.
  2. Where (or from whom/what) am I currently sourcing my sense of worth from?
  3. If you're currently sourcing your sense of worth from anything other than yourself, get curious about how that came to be so and be kind to yourself. What was the beginning of you outsourcing your sense of worth?

Interested in a deeper connection?

Let's meet over coffee (online)!
