The Meaning of Prosperity.

I recently signed a book deal and am busy writing, bringing this literary entity to life. It’ll be published in the next year, whenever it decides it’s finished. Books take on a life of their own, sentient beings, and like Alice down the Rabbit Hole I’m already finding myself lost within the Wonderland of this work.  I’m being asked to not just write the words, but live them, in order to encode the energy of my own personal experience. Without that, it’s just black on white. I’m going for life-changing.

The chapter I’ve been working on for the past month is about the marriage of money, work, and abundance. What does it all mean, which paradigms are in need of an update, and where do we hold ourselves back? Finding the meaning of prosperity—individually—is critically important, because we all have a slightly different definition of the word. To feel the truth of prosperity we have to know what it looks like to us before we can welcome it into our lives.

One example? Starting a business without visualizing who your ideal client is. How can people flock to you if you haven’t built a doorway through your heart and mind? A door that blinks with the neon invitation, “Enthusiastic, Highly Sensitive, open-minded, spirit-driven, heart-centered, game changers welcome here!” (That’s my door!) 

A Prosperity Experiment. 

This past month I did something I’ve never done before with my own business. I opened my door to anyone wanting to experience transformational coaching without having the ability to pay full price for it. For three sessions, I let them choose their own fee. It was a risk.

What if I booked the entire month and got nothing in return? Could I afford to do this? It was a tough question to reconcile.

When I finally surrendered to the process—I reminded myself that no matter what transpired, it would be an amazing experiment and teaching moment for me—I ultimately trusted my instinct and allowed it to unfold exactly as it was supposed to. I opened to receiving whatever abundance it brought. 

Holy love-fest, Batman, what abundance it brought.

Agreeing to do this allowed me to focus on nothing but the joy of the work. As of right now, there is one week left in August, one week left of this exercise in abundance. I have scheduled 16 new people so far and many of those have already had 2 or 3 sessions. My goal is to sign six more people this week! What I’ve gained so far has been a lesson on what prosperity means to me. It doesn’t have to consistently equal a cash deposit. My prosperity gained through this offer has been boat loads of experience, confidence, peace, and sacredness. Holding the space for another person’s growth, laughter, and tears, receiving and giving gratitude and love, feeling a more rooted connection to my work, the gift of remembering that I’d do this work for free if I could. It amplified my ability to trust. In myself, in others, and in the Universe. 

You really can’t put a price tag on that.

Much Love, 

Kristy
