How RICH does your life feel?

(I've written over the past few months about STER: Selflessness, Timelessness, Effortless, and now Richness. Click on the links to catch up/review)

Whenever I think about Richness, I think about a quality, an experience, a feeling of something full, abundant, complete. I remember things like a complex red wine, dark chocolate, damp soil, a thick duvet...

When I think about richness within life, that feeling of fullness comes back again and again. That time isn't sitting empty, that what we consume is full of flavor, nothing missing, nothing watered down. That the experience is full of wisdom, or possibility, nurturing, or freedom, and that it will either continue to impact, and/or will draw something else in that is also plentiful or abundant.

I think that over the past years, we have suffered through periods where life did not feel rich. We felt robbed of connection, the ability to move or travel, the possibility of making firm plans for the future. When that is taken or paused, life feel less full, less fun, less interesting. And I think that we are only just starting to get our sense of taste and feel of richness back again.

Take a moment to play with the words Rich and Richness and notice what you notice. Feel the way your body responds, which experiences come to mind, and what you feel drawn to repeating. This connection with richness is something that we can follow, which can lead us towards life experiences that are fruitful, meaningful, and fulfilling. Life tends to feel less colourful without it.

Take some time over the coming days to meditate on the following:

• Which experiences in my past have had the quality or texture of richness, that I can call to mind at any moment?
• What have I been wearing, eating, looking at, pondering when I could experience a richness, beyond the ordinary?
• Where is there richness in my life now? (friendships, work, leisure, travel, partnership, physical body, etc)
• What could I create or invite into my life that would make my daily experience more rich and fulfilling?

Remember that we have all tasted depth, complexity, fullness, aspects of life that call us to be more present and appreciative of the moment. And once something impacts you in that way, that vibration is within you. Allow yourself to create a world where you experience richness on a daily basis.
