The primitive brain powerfully influences our lives.
This is especially true around abundance.
The more our primitive brain understands that there is plenty and that others can have plenty, the easier it is to open up and let in better things.
Think of it this way… in an isolated tribe, where our ancestors had to rely on each other to survive, being so much more than anyone else wasn’t really smart. Jealousy, resentment, and judgment can creep in. Our brain has evolved to fit in, to play it safe, to conform to what others have done and done.
The world has evolved since then, and so have we. There are many more resources, and the abundance is not limited to what a small tribe of people hunting for food can scrape together. We have electricity in our homes, food from around the world in grocery stores, clean running water, central heat and air for many people. And information is available at levels we’ve never dreamed of before.
Some people struggle with abundance. Often, old patterns get in the way, and they don’t see options that will create joy and comfort in front of them. It’s not their fault… no one ever taught them to be different.
One of the fastest ways to open up to abundance… and to allow your brain to feel safe with having more… is to allow yourself to experience abundance with others whenever you can. It can retrain your brain!
Let’s invite your primitive brain to feel more secure! When your whole being is united with it, it becomes much easier to give the universe what you ask for!
Hand Direction (Karate Chop): While part of me thinks it’s safe to stick it out, another part of me wants all kinds, much more abundance.
Although my primitive brain is afraid to stand out… what if they judge me? Will they bother me? …I long for more comfort and choice, and financial abundance is so useful! Maybe I can help my primitive brain relax and allow more.
Even though my primitive brain is doing its best to protect me… the best way it knows how… I think it’s time to give it a gentle upgrade and offer new options!
Above the head: I have been struggling to have more abundance.
Eyebrows: A part of me is resisting.
Eye direction: I’m afraid to stand out.
Under the eyes: I’m afraid there are too many.
Under the nose: I don’t want to make other people uncomfortable…
Chin: Or anger!
Collarbone: My primitive brain is “protecting” me.
Underarm: And I’m ready to give my brain some more efficient ways to do it.
Above the head: Hey, primitive brain.
Eyebrows: Thank you for caring so much about me.
Eye direction: I know you want to keep me safe.
Under the eyes: You have worked really hard.
Under the nose: And I admire you (sometimes)
Chin: And I want to give you some new information…
Collarbone: There are many people with great abundance!
Underarm: It’s okay to have more.
Above the head: Enough for everyone…
Eyebrows: And I want to role model the joy of allowing a lot.
Eye direction: It’s okay to enjoy abundance.
Under the eyes: And I’m going to help you see it…
Under the nose: I’m going to hang out with people who are gaining a lot of experience.
Chin: I am going to be a part of all kinds of grace.
Collarbone: And I invite all of me to have fun and lots of play.
Underarm: It’s time to change my abundance set points.
Above the head: It’s time to play and allow.
Take a deep breath.
Seeing abundance and alternatives over time is a great way to rewire the primitive brain. The more you can tune into a safe way of having abundance, the easier it will be to open it up in all areas. Notice what thoughts, memories, and beliefs come up for you as you tap, and write them down for more taps later.
warm greetings,
