Rooted Abundance: The Freedom of Being Resourced From Within
Ed Zaydelman | Issue 001: The Remembering | April 30th, 2025
What if abundance wasn’t something you had to chase, but something that naturally found you when you slowed down enough to receive it?
This isn’t just poetic thinking—it’s a truth I’ve watched unfold time and time again in the lives of clients, collaborators, and even in my own journey.
The most magnetic, soul-aligned leaders I know don’t look “busy.”
They’re not grinding. They’re not rushing from strategy to strategy.
They’re rooted.
They walk through life with a quiet confidence.
They know who they are.
They trust the timing.
They’re resourced from within.
From Gripping to Receiving
Take one client, a coach and facilitator who came my way, feeling exhausted.
She had built a powerful platform, but behind the scenes she was burning out.
Always launching, always refining, always trying to "align her energy" to attract more clients.
We did something radical: we had her do less.
She stopped optimizing and started listening.
She reclaimed her mornings.
She walked barefoot on the land.
She let go of her attachment to outcomes.
Within weeks, clients began reaching out—not from funnels, but from resonance.
The abundance she’d been chasing… started arriving.
Not because she finally cracked the code.
But because she remembered who she was before the performance.
The New Picture of Abundant Living
Let’s be honest: the old paradigm of abundance still wears hustle’s clothing.
It whispers:
“Once I hit this goal, then I can relax.”
“Once I have a team, I’ll feel supported.”
“Once I’m recognized, I’ll finally feel enough.”
But the Sacred path flips that script. What if abundance was a starting point, not an end goal? It begins in the breath. In the boundaries you honor. In the meals you savor and the walks you take without your phone. It shows up when you invest in rest—not just as recovery, but as strategy.
True abundance doesn’t come from the outside in.It flows from the inside out.
