Abundance Medicine

A Spiritual Perspective on Abundance, Interconnectedness and the Medicine of the Butterfly.

We are in the middle of one of my favorite months of the year: May – the month of abundance. Spring is in full bloom, the peonies and roses are blossoming all around my house and summer doesn’t feel so far away…

I want to dedicate this months’ reflection to a theme that seems to be on everybody’s hearts in our wider spiritual circles – abundance. For many years (and sometimes it feels like lifetimes…) I’ve been sitting with this theme and have been refining my definitions and the ways I relate to it.

For me, abundance is a very interesting frequency to hold consistently. On the one hand, I know and trust deeply that the universe is always mirroring back what I put out. On the other hand, there are aspects of me that still move from an (old) feeling of lack, that sense that something is missing.

Energy is neutral and universal. There is always, and has always been, enough for me and every being around me. This is the frequency that this month is asking me to return to.

Moreover, I feel that abundance is only real when shared. I’ve always been able to step into a more abundant frequency when I was able to share the energetic and yes, also the financial bounty that I’ve received. Sharing the gratitude for all things that help stabilize and carry us through life is a foundational aspect of being in relationship with abundance.

We are always in an abundant state – this is the nature of the universe – and we can see it all around us, especially in this time of full bloom. What our mind does, however, is contract when it senses that a cycle of shedding is approaching, when life asks us to release whatever is no longer serving us.

At the beginning of May 2026, I’ve started the new round of my yearlong training Ayni Medicine Wheel. For three months, we work deeply with one element, spirit animal and plant spirit. The animal that is present until July is the BUTTERFLY.

I want to use the butterfly to elaborate a little more on abundance.

What we usually see is a beautiful and fairy‑like animal that seems impossibly delicate – the fullest expression of abundance and beauty. The butterfly flies around and pollinates our plants and shares its beauty with the world. A frequency that we may long to live in as often as possible.

The Endless Search for Meaning

Yet what we rarely see and talk about are all the stages that come before, especially the chrysalis stage. After the caterpillar leaves the egg there’s a phase of endless hunger. Often blindly, the caterpillar will eat everything to get bigger and bigger.

It seeks nourishment outside, and it honestly feels like the endless spiritual search that many of us are sometimes stuck in – this want and need to find someone or something to fill the lack within.

And then, one day, the caterpillar enters its chrysalis and begins a transformation that feels almost incomprehensible. It leaves everything it knew about the Self behind and completely dissolves.

This metamorphosis is something that can hardly be described or imagined. Everything that was the caterpillar dissolves and turns into mush – and once all is gone – a new animal forms: the butterfly. When the transformation is complete, the butterfly is ready to crack the shell open and spread its wings.

This is how I see abundance also being part of our life.

I have created a new offering that feels like an expression of this renewed relationship with abundance: Yoga Nidra Ceremony

I want to create a space for my local and international community to meet and be able to share the deeply rested states that come with Yoga Nidra. These ceremonies will be held in‑person in Zurich and also, starting from June, ONLINE. These will be donation‑based spaces, held in the frequency of abundance and the intention of creating accessible community, regardless of where you are.

I’m curious to hear if this resonates with you and wish you a wonderful spring time.

Journaling Questions for May:

Abundance:

Where do you feel abundant in your life?

If I could wish for anything in my life, what would it be? HOW would it feel like?

Lack Frequency:

Which aspects of the self feel in “lack”? How are you living from these frequencies?

Where am I holding myself back?

Metamorphosis:

How many times in my life have I completely transformed? Was it easy, was it hard? What helped the process?

What would it mean to completely surrender and step into a metamorphosis with the frequency of abundance?
