Pleasure as the Healing Antidote to Scarcity

When we feel SCARCE (i.e. fear around money, relating, or other security-related topics), this is often when PLEASURE & JOY go out the window the fastest.⁠

We stop prioritizing rest, receptivity, pleasure, & joy because our limbic system wants us to "put out the fire" first.⁠

Our system wants to "SOLVE" the fear so that we can feel safe again.⁠

But this becomes a cycle of de-prioritizing pleasure.

Because feelings of scarcity are part of our collective consciousness...⁠

Regardless of the amount of inner work you have done, you will likely experience waves of fear related to scarcity consciousness from time to time.⁠

So rather than waiting until "all is well" before prioritizing pleasure, allow pleasure to be part of the solution.

Pleasure invites us to RECEIVE the abundance that already exists, in this moment.⁠

So ironically, while it is often the FIRST thing to be thrown out the window in times of "crisis", it is one of the most important tools for cultivating abundance within (and thus attracting it!)

The invitation is NOT to bypass fear when it arises...⁠

It's to give that fear high-quality attention & presence.⁠

Acknowledge it deeply and yet CHOOSE to orient towards pleasure again --> knowing that by doing so, you are actually re-aligning with the abundance you desire.
