Dollars Are Energy

“Affluence, unboundedness, and abundance are our natural state. We just need to restore the memory of what we already know.”

                                                Deepak Chopra

Money is energy and it flows to those that are in vibration harmony with it. If you learned that money is dirty, it is time to replace that belief with the understanding that money is simply a source of energy that we are either allowing or disallowing. Money has now power except what we give to it. If financial prosperity has been an issue for you, begin to shift that consciousness by removing its importance in your life. See that it provides a commodity that you desire. It is not the money that pays for the item that is important to focus on, it is the thing itself that you want to see yourself enjoying.

See yourself living in harmony and joy with your home, your car, your work, your family and your body. Appreciate the many wonderful aspects of your life and feel how it lifts you up. Feel how joyous it is to allow the energy of your good to flow effortlessly to you from expected and unexpected streams of well being.

Exercise for this week:

1.      Appreciate all that you have and be grateful for the dollars as you pay your bills, put “Thank You” on your checks.

2.      Affirm that financial prosperity abounds in your life.

3.      Allow no negative conversations about money with family or friends.

4.      Bless the many streams of income that you see yourself receiving.

Raise your vibration concerning finances and watch the universe supply all of your needs and desires.

Affirmation for the week:
All of my needs and desires are met effortlessly and joyously.

Making Wise Choices

“No matter what the problem is, how acute it may be or how difficult the person may be, there is in the final analysis no one to change but yourself.”                             Joseph Murphy

Every moment we are making choices that either support or negate our well being. How you feel is your point of attraction and what you are manifesting is always a match to your vibration. When we came into this physical incarnation, we brought with us the gift of choice. That gift of choice is so powerful that it governs our entire life.

Living an abundant life means that you are choosing health, wealth, creative self expression, peace, joy and love. Every painful experience holds within it the seed of joy if you choose to look for it. Everything in your life must change. Change happens whether we want it or not. Change is inevitable; personal growth is a choice.

Exercise;

1.     For one week, be aware of the choices you are making. Are you seeing the glass of life half full or half empty? You will clearly see how you are attracting your current life experience.

2.     Make choices on what thoughts you are thinking. When out of harmony with anyone in your life, remember the good times, find positive aspects to appreciate and focus only on them for one week. You will experience enhanced enjoyment of each other.

Affirmation for this week:

I make wise choices every day. My life if filled with joy.

The Power of Forgiveness

Holding onto resentment, guilt or any negative emotion holds you in bondage to whatever experience caused that feeling. Forgiveness is an act of the heart. It helps to disconnect us from negative past experiences. Forgiveness is about you, not anyone else. It is not condoning unacceptable behavior. It is an act of freeing ourselves from a past hurt. Forgiveness allows us to see that everyone is doing the best job they know how to do with the awareness that they have. Hurtful people are acting out from their own pain. Their hurtful actions are a cry for love. Being willing to see this allows you to know that they would not be hurting you if they were not wounded. The next time you feel wronged or treated unfairly, ask yourself if this is a cry for love. You will find it easy to forgive when you realize that this is not about you but rather about the other person.

Try this exercise with anyone that you are holding resentment towards:

            Take yourself back to a time when this relationship was loving and kind. Feel those feelings until you are ready to forgive them. Always remember to forgive yourself for holding onto resentment.

Affirmation: I let go of anything unlike love in my mind and accept myself and others unconditionally.

A Time of Renewal

  

            What a perfect time of year to open our heart to the renewing of our minds. Mother earth is coming alive. The grass is turning green, the flowers and trees are beginning to blossom. AS we head into Easter, the idea of resurrection takes hold in our consciousness. A time of letting go of anything unlike love that still resides in our heart and mind and being reborn, renewed to the light that lives within us.

            We are here on a soul journey to bring forth the light of the divine that is our very essence and to let our light shine that the world might be made new. Every day we are born anew, every moment we choose to either let our light shine, be the voice for love, take a stand for peace OR we allow the world around us, race consciousness, to guide our thoughts. When we get caught up in “what is” in the physical realm, our energy becomes part of the problem. When we stay centered in the knowing that all is well, in spite of appearances, we are a force for good.

            Life is an amazing adventure of unfolding awareness. If you try to remember what your worries were about a year or two ago, you probably couldn’t even remember what they were. They either never happened or they came to pass. Wouldn’t it be better to trust that all things are working together for good in your life and not live in fear?

                                    IT is a choice we make every day:

1.     To love life,

2.     To focus on the good,

3.     To be grateful for the good in our life,

4.     To take a stand for peace,

5.     To be the voice for love,

6.     To let our light shine,

Allow this season of awakening to open your heart, renew your mind and brighten your light.

Affirmation: I Am the light, the love and the peace that lifts up the world around me.

Financial Abundance is Yours

Financial abundance is not predicated on deserving or worthiness. It is in direct relationship to your consciousness, your vibration, your belief about money and your willingness to receive. Your birthright is the abundance of all good, health, wealth and perfect self expression. You are and extension of infinite mind, the creative intelligence from which you have come forth. All good is yours for the taking when you allow it into your consciousness. If you are not living an abundant life, then you are resisting your good.

Abundance is all around you, available to you when you are open to receive it. You can push it away with your thoughts and words of lack or you can receive it with your gratitude and willingness to allow it into your life.

Fall In Love With Yourself

 

Over my years of counseling and coaching, I have realized that every issue that we face, regardless of what we call it, is an issue of self-worth. Bottom line cause of illness, failure, lack of any kind, is a result of not accepting ourselves. To fall in love with ourselves is to see our wholeness, our inner greatness, our spirit, our soul.

You are worthy, no matter how much money you have, or how the world looks at your level of success, or how you look or what has happened to you in your life or what you have done. You are worthy because you are spirit in expression. You are worthy because you have come into physical form to make a difference in the world. It is never too late to let your light shine, to be the loving, caring soul that resides in your body. You are so much more than your physical body. You are a powerful spiritual being, living on planet earth in and exquisite physical body. You are an extension of source energy. You have the potential to transform the planet with your consciousness. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross said,” Each one of us has within us a Mother Theresa and a Hitler. It is up to us to choose what we want to be.”

Here is a simple exercise that will begin your journey to accepting and appreciating yourself just the way you are.

 

1.     Become a witness to your self talk.

a)    Shift your negative thinking. It will keep you stuck.

2.     Develop the habit of appreciation.

a)    Focus on the things that are working in your life and give thanks for them.

3.     Write your accomplishments.

a)    Look at the past year and write the many things, big or little that you feel good about.

4.     Forgive yourself for judging you.

a)    You have always done the best job you have known how to do with the awareness that you had. Give thanks for new beginnings.

5.     Let go of resentment about another for that is a killer of self-worth.

a)    Look for the good in others, focus on their strengths instead of their weaknesses. Treat other the way you want to be treated.

Affirmation:  I am worthy. I dare to live a life of abundant joy and radiant well being.

Let me know what ideas you have for building self-worth.

You Are Unlimited

Most of us did not grow up knowing that we are unlimited, that we truly can have it all. You may have witnessed lack and limitation in your family’s thinking and believed that was the way of the world. Have you ever wondered why some people have so much good and others suffer through life? Everyone creates his or her own reality without exception. We often follow in our parent’s belief systems because that is all we have ever known. It may not serve us any more and it is never too late to change our beliefs about life.

The reason you are unlimited is that as an energy being you have access to the intelligence that creates worlds. Because of that connection, you have the power to co-create your world any way you choose. You can dream as big as your imagination will grow. Perhaps you have not allowed yourself to ever dream big dreams so you might want to experiment with a small desire.

Try this exercise:

1.      Make a list of the things you would like to create for yourself and chose one that you do not think would be very difficult.

2.      Write an affirmation describing this desire as if it were already done.

3.      Visualize how this dream might look and feel when accomplished.

4.      The most important part is the feeling. Imagine how you will feel, put yourself in that feeling place.

5.      Once you have set into motion this desire, stay open for unexpected opportunities and ideas.

6.      Listen for inspired guidance, allow the universe to handle the details and watch what happens.

Affirmation:  “I am open and receptive to my highest good. I am unlimited.”
