Awakening Prosperity

A Letter of Gratitude & a Journey Through Money Mindset

How it started

A few days before starting the Metaphorphsis program, hosted by Bobbie Breckenridge, I encountered a praying mantis. As I reached for my bedsheet, it darted from beneath, surprising me. Despite my intention to relocate it outside, it unexpectedly flew at my face, marking the beginning of its noticeable energetic and physical presence in the past 10 days. This letter is my reflection to the shared community and it’s about to get metaphorical.

Universe Calling

Entering this 10-day journey came at the suggestion of a dear friend, and the lineup of speakers alone spoke volumes. The program aligned perfectly with what I felt I needed — support in my relationship with money.

I had been seeking guidance from the universe while simultaneously coaching my clients to get unstuck in their own lives. This manifested as three of them canceling at the end of their respective packages, I thought, ‘Well, that’s a huge shift,’ went for a swim, meditated, and reflected. This was opening up a few hours in my week that I can reinvest into my latest venture. It felt as though the universe was igniting a fire beneath me, urging me to take action because I had been hesitant to do so.

Meanwhile, I embarked on a new project, one that required substantial investment upfront without immediate returns. As an entrepreneur, the thrill of such ventures has always fueled me, yet I often found myself paralyzed by indecision.

The Metaphors

So, what does the praying mantis symbolize?

Across many cultures the embodied essence is:

Patience and Stillness

Focus and Concentration

Intuition and Insight

Balance and Harmony

Transformation and Adaptation

On Valentine’s Day, amidst work on my project, I paused to prepare a cacao and take a break. Reopening a singing class I had long forgotten, featuring the talented singer Simirit, a course I had enrolled in years ago, I was startled by the sound of approaching footsteps. To my amazement, seven horses had wandered into my yard.

Amidst these events and reflections on the symbolism of the praying mantis and the serendipitous events of Valentine’s Day, a deeper sense of clarity emerged, prompting me to contemplate the deeper significance of these encounters in my entrepreneurial journey.

Community & Mindset

Throughout the course, the presence of community and spirit, along with consistent support, has continually strengthened my mindset around these personal processes. I eagerly participated in live sessions, but it was the guided meditations that truly transformed my perspective. Each morning, before dawn, I would sit up in bed, visualizing my abundance while affirming, “Everything is within me.” It became clear that the power to manifest lay within my own choices.

What I am Integrating

Enrolling in this program underscored the strength of community and reminded me of the potency of momentum and meditation. Through somatic practices, music, daily intentions, and the presence of spirit guides like the praying mantis, as well as drawing inspiration from mentors during my classes, I found the resilience to persevere through these huge changes. I am deeply inspired by each member of this community and look forward to fostering a network of abundance across the globe.

With love,
