Abundance Upgrade with Elaine Starling
Have you ever been excited to share something—a post, a message, a video—only to freeze the moment you're about to hit “publish”? That sudden contraction isn’t a confidence problem or a mindset failure. It’s your nervous system having a temper tantrum, and how you respond determines whether you open to abundance or shut it down completely.
In this powerful New Year’s episode, Elaine Starling reveals how your subconscious uses your body to signal safety or danger, why visibility often feels threatening, and how to shift from contraction into coherence so abundance can flow again. Inspired by Korean parenting techniques, neuroscience, and Divine guidance, Elaine teaches you how to lead your Inner Child with loving presence instead of pressure or perfection.
If you’re ready for 2026 to be your year of expansion, clarity, and courageous self-expression, this Abundance Upgrade will show you how to align your energy, regulate your nervous system, and say YES to the opportunities already waiting for you.

Key Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)
- Your body isn’t sabotaging you—it’s protecting you based on old data.
- Abundance flows where your nervous system feels safe.
- Contraction in one area (visibility) closes your ability to receive in all areas.
- Presence leads the room; fear only leads to shutdown.
- Sharing your gifts is an act of service—not a performance.
- “When you open, abundance follows.” — Elaine Starling
The Abundance Upgrade Method (Step-by-Step)
1 – Notice the Contraction
Say:
“Something in me is contracting.”
Naming it reduces the emotional charge.
2 – Pause & Ground
Hand on heart + belly.
Inhale: I AM
Exhale (long sigh): CONSCIOUSNESS
This resets the vagus nerve and signals: I am safe.
3 – Listen for the Signal
Ask:
- Is this a Protective NO (wrong path)?
- Or a Growth NO (expansion mixed with fear)?
Your body always knows.
4 – Reconnect with The Divine
Return to your Intention.
Ask:
“What would You have me do or know right now?”
Expect a loving nudge—not pressure.
5 – Take One Tiny Action
Baby steps build safety.
Safety builds coherence.
Coherence opens the abundance field.
