Meditation for Inner Abundance and Prosperity
Prosperity is often measured only in possessions, income or status. This meditation uses the word more broadly. Inner prosperity means recognising and developing resources that cannot be taken away by changing circumstances: peace, wisdom, courage, gratitude, generosity and the ability to create meaningful thoughts.

Understanding this meditation
Raja Yoga does not use meditation as a promise that thinking positively will automatically produce money or material success. Instead, it strengthens the inner qualities that help us meet life with greater stability, clarity and resourcefulness.
A feeling of inner abundance grows when attention shifts from constant deficiency toward appreciation, contribution and the treasures of character already available within the self.

A meditation you can practise now
I pause and notice whether my mind has been occupied with what is missing.
For a few moments I choose another direction.
I remember that I already possess inner resources that can be developed: the ability to think, choose, learn, love, forgive and begin again.
I recognise one quality that has helped me through difficult situations before.
That quality is part of my inner wealth.
I remember one person, opportunity or experience for which I am grateful.
Gratitude changes the atmosphere of the mind from scarcity toward appreciation.
I create the thought: I have something valuable to contribute.
Perhaps I can give patience, encouragement, knowledge, time, kindness or peaceful presence.
The more consciously I use good qualities, the richer those qualities become in my life.
I release comparison with other people’s possessions or achievements.
I define prosperity today as having enough inner stability to make wise choices and enough generosity to share something good.
I return to the day with gratitude, purpose and the intention to use my resources well.
