Feelings about Money
Hi all,
I recently posted a blog on the subject of “half-manifesting”, see below, where a large sum of money was put into my bank account and then taken out as a “bank error.”
Whilst I resonated with a lot of the comments on the blog, I also felt very isolated and rather confused. In some of the emails I received, I was accused of being “sinful” and “greedy” for wanting money.
I have been feeling very uncomfortable with all this. Maybe I am a maverick or maybe I am just not spiritual. Maybe I am doing something very wrong or very backwards, or I have been a very bad girl in a past life. I never seem to have any money or always just enough to scrape by, and sometimes that is right down to the last penny.
I suppose part of this is my own fault. Since I stopped using credit cards, loans and debt I have become much more acutely aware of how much spending power I actually have- or don’t have!
I want to have enough cash, notes, coins, numbers on the computer screen, whatever form it takes – although not plastic credit cards- to go and do the things I want to do, to take the girls out for a day out without having to worry or pray or meditate or feel the essence of what is tangibly NOT in my purse.
I get fed up with saying to the girls, “No, sorry we can’t for out for the day because there is not enough cash to go and we need it for other things, such as food”.
I have tried the approach of, “well, let’s find the find on the Internet and imagine we were there. Imagine we are having fun there and try to create the feelings as if it is really happening. Then we have had the experience in our minds so we don’t need to physically go and we didn’t need any money for it!”. Somehow my kids have not quite got into the logic of that.
The usual question I get at the end of something like that is, “so when can we ACTUALLY go?” Sigh, not quite the response I wanted.
I would like to book a holiday where and when I choose, or to have Greg (my husband) working at home instead of working away all week, to be able to do things, buy things, give money to people without worrying whether I would then have enough money to pay the bills at the end of the month.
Is that really so wrong? To have a flow of useable, tangible cash, money from all sorts of sources, whether that is business earnings, gifts, winnings, tax rebates or wherever it may be.
Is it really so wrong to say I would like an extra £1000, £2000, £5000 or more in my bank or better in my hand or my purse, so I can do whatever I choose, whenever I choose?
At the same time I am also open to the things I want coming to me in other ways, so that I physically do not need any money for them e.g. someone giving me something or doing something foe me or a barter exchange or some other way.
Maybe I am the only one who feels this way, but I want to look in my purse or my bank account and see real money there, that I can draw out NOW and spend TODAY. Money that is legal tender; real coins and notes and not credit cards or loans or overdrafts or other debt that has to be paid back.
I want money to spend now on things that bring us fun and pleasure and not look into an empty purse and try to feel good and grateful over what may be coming to me at some point in the future or looking at my £1,000,000 Bank of Being Abundance note that is supposed to attract more money to my purse, but which I can’t actually go and spend!
I have never had much success with that idea! It has never made me feel any better and I cannot see that it has tangibly brought me real, spendable cash.
At that point, I often seem to get a real “rub-it-in” email from an internet marketer telling me they have just made $10000s of dollars, pounds or whatever in the first hour of their product launch! – and telling they have sold so many products that their server crashed!
Grrrr! Double Grrrrr! I am sorry, but in those moments I find it very hard to wish them all the wealth in the world, so that (in theory) I am keeping all my own wealth channels open!
Sometimes I find it hard to smile at the Universe’s sense of humour around me and my money!
Patterns of Limiting Beliefs
The more I thought about that incident with the bank, the more I realised that was a pattern that went back to childhood about money being given and then, for a variety of reasons, being taken away again.
There was clearly something there around me not feeling worthy enough or deserving enough to keep the money I had attracted.
So I have been busy working with all the “releasing money blocks and patterns” techniques I can find.
From the first meditation I did I got the following insights and pictures:
1)I release the need to be in debt,
2)It is safe for me and my family to have money,
3)Money flows in waves to me,
4)There is enough to share with everyone I choose.
Personal Money Challenge
I set myself a personal money challenge to the end of June. I identified 5 things which I would like to attract into my life, which consisted of some new some clothes and shoes, Greg (my husband) and Stephanie (my daughter)’s football season ticket, the balance paid on a summer drama course I have booked the girls on, a summer adventure holiday they would like to go on and the insurance premium for part of Greg’s business.
The total cost, if I have to pay for it all, is about £2000.
At the same time I am leaving myself open to receiving these things in other ways.
Firstly, at 9am the following morning I get a call from Greg to say that the insurance has been sorted in such a way that there is little or no cost!
Brilliant! That is £500 off the total. Thank You Universe and Angels!
So I replaced that item with paying the balance of the family holiday that is booked for August.
My plan for this is a daily meditation, using a belief clearing or money attracting audio and then take inspired action on insights received in that meditation.
Opportunities and Action:
What can I do to attract more money and opportunities or find ways to save money?
A few of the ideas I had were: – enter more competitions to win cash and other prizes, place a few bets on upcoming sporting activities, look for some joint ventures where I can promote other people’s products as an affiliate or they can promote mine, create and promote some new products and find ways to fill my business with clients who want to buy my products and services.
I would also be very interested to hear from anyone who has mastered this flow of tangible, spendable money into your life. I think that would certainly help me and I am sure it would help lots of other people out there.
I will keep you posted as the month unfolds.
With abundant blessings.
