Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog. I’ve been in the midst of transitions and shifts that are so huge, there really haven’t been words to describe them. I’ll be sharing more about these in the coming weeks. For today, however, I have a special gift for you. I want to introduce you to your money. I know, it sounds crazy, but bear with me for a minute.
The first thing you need to understand is that everything is energy. Whether you believe this or not, it is what it is. For example, when you meet someone for the first time and decide you’d love to spend more time with them, or decide you can’t stand them, you are, unconsciously, reading their energetic signature and matching it against your own to determine, in nanoseconds, how you will proceed with that person. What you may not understand is that everything around you is energy, the house you live in, your car, your community, your city, your country, etc. etc.
Most importantly, your money is also energy and you are, unconsciously, matching your energy to the energy of money. The problem with this is that the predominant energy of money is one of lack. Lack, or a poverty mentality, is currently one of the strongest energies around money in today’s society. This energy is reinforced daily as we’re told there is a recession, as we hear about people losing their jobs and homes, and as we see the effects of a ‘lack of money’ in our communities.
Are you open to the idea that you could shift this ‘poverty’ energy, and that the shift would affect not only you, but everyone who touches the money you’ve shifted as you do business with them, buy their products or services, or simply give it as a gift?
Depending on your perspectives on money, you’re either attracting, repelling, being apathetic or experiencing one of a million other emotions and/or reactions towards money, most of which you can’t even begin to understand or discern. You may even feel as if money controls you to a great degree. When you have it, you can do things, when you don’t…you can’t.
Money may also seem elusive, as if you’re missing some magic ingredient that keeps you from being ‘one of the lucky ones’. What if it’s not about luck?
What if understanding your money’s energy would allow you to embrace and welcome more money into your life?
Would you choose to embrace more money? If you had the opportunity, would you choose to get to know your money? Would you put effort into creating a relationship with it?
Are you open to changing your perspective?
Are you open to giving your money a personality? Maybe even a name?
Are you willing to experience the joy of sharing your money with others…even when it’s as mundane as paying a bill?
What if every time you gave your money to someone else, for any reason, you sent it off with an authentic wish for your money to experience an amazing adventure?
Imagine you are money for a moment. Would you rather spend time with someone who is constantly stressed, who sees you as a necessary evil, who hates paying bills, who feels like they’re being taken advantage of every time they pay for something as if they’re losing their money and will never get it back? OR, would you rather spend time with someone who loves money, someone who is grateful for the opportunity to be able to pay for the products and services they use, someone who is in absolute bliss when they get to spend money on the things they love to have and do? Who would you rather spend your time with? Can you see how your day-to-day engagements with your money are affecting your ability to have more of it?
Do you realize how much power you have to attract obscene amounts of money to you?
What are you willing to change?
Imagine every time you receive a cheque, your pay, or even a gift of money, that, in your mind, you warmly embrace it and welcome it like a long lost friend.
Imagine going out to dinner and when you’re paying your bill, sending your money off with gratitude for the wonderful meal you just had and sending your money off with a wish for an amazing adventure.
Imagine feeling joy every time you have the opportunity to send more of your money out into the world through paying bills and purchasing your day-to-day necessities.
Imagine using cash more often so you can physically start to feel more connected to your money. We’ve become desensitized to our money through the use of tools like credit cards and Interac – we’ve become completely detached from our money. I believe it’s time to reclaim your relationship with your money.
If you’re feeling like this is just a little weird, let me ask you this, “Is what you’re doing now working for you?” If it’s not, then what’s holding you back? Are you willing to act a little strange if it means attracting ridiculous amounts of money into your life?
Finally, I know that many people in personal development will tell you that all you need to do is shift your perspective. My issue with that approach is that if you don’t know what other perspectives are available to you, then how can you change it? For that reason, I’ve provided a new perspective for you in this short video. You may need to watch it a few times, as the first time through it may throw you for a loop (I think you’ll see some interesting correlations in this video) – but once you start to really wrap your head around it, you’ll start to notice the shift in how you see your money, and more specifically, your relationship it.
