Overflow—Giving from Fullness, Not Emptiness!
Mensimah's Round Table: Conversations for Women of Power and Grace
Manage episode 522745157 series 2964314
Episode Summary
In this deeply nourishing episode at the Round Table, we explore what it truly means to give from overflow instead of depletion. Drawing from Akan wisdom, ancestral teachings, and cross-cultural spiritual traditions, this conversation invites you into a gentler, more powerful way of being—a way where generosity becomes an act of abundance, not sacrifice.
Through the story of Ama Serwaa, guided meditation, and reflective insights, you’ll learn how honoring your own joy, boundaries, and inner nourishment allows you to uplift others with authenticity, grace, and radiant strength.
What You’ll Learn
- How to recognize the difference between giving from depletion and giving from fullness
- Simple replenishing rituals inspired by Akan tradition and global spiritual wisdom
- Why boundaries are sacred, and how they create more powerful, honest relationships
- How to use words like Anigye, Anandamayi, Pushyangeli, and Ayekoo as daily anchors for joy and blessing.
Featured Story: Ama Serwaa and the Overflowing Pot
You’ll hear the story of Ama Serwaa, a wise woman whose daily practice teaches a universal truth:“If I tried to serve you from an empty pot, I would only offer dust.”
Her commitment to filling her own well before giving becomes a timeless reminder that true generosity must begin with self-nourishment.
Guided Reflection & Meditation
This episode includes a 5-minute grounding practice using cross-cultural affirmations:
- “Anigye / Anandamayi” – invoking inner joy, bliss, and wholeness
- “Pushyangeli / Ayekoo” – allowing blessing and nurturing to flow outward
Through breath, intention, and ancestral wisdom, you’ll reconnect with your inner wellspring.
Powerful Closing Thoughts
- Nourishing yourself first is not selfish—it is sacred leadership.
- Let your boundaries become acts of healing.
- Let joy be your daily anchor.
- When you fill yourself, your overflow becomes hope, healing, and empowerment for others.
