Clearing Hidden Blocks to Money

by Yamini Bhatt

     Have you ever noticed how money attracts more money? Often times, you’ll see that someone who is already rich tends to get richer and someone who is poor tends to get poorer. How do you identify with the word money?  Let’s face it: many of us have negative thoughts and limiting beliefs around money.  Without realizing, we tend to repeat thoughts like: “I will never get out of debt,” “I cannot afford that” or lately, “It’s hard to advance because of the bad economy.” Aside from these fairly common phrases, the list goes on and on.

     An internationally known visionary, philosopher, lecturer and bestselling author of books, John Randolph Price defines MONEY as ‘My Own Natural Energy Yield’ which also means that money is my very essence.   How do you express your energy and your very own essence? Our energy is expressed through our thoughts, feelings, words and actions.

     During the course of my own journey in understanding and dealing with issues around money, I have understood one thing: Money is neutral and is simply a medium of exchange that people use for goods and services. But what really plays out in our relationship with money are our emotional needs, projections and limiting beliefs, all of which cause shame and fear around money.

Your money messages:

     How conscious are you about your beliefs around money? How many of the following beliefs do you operate from?

• Money is evil.
• Money goes out faster than it comes in.
• Rich people are miserable.
• Money doesn’t grow on trees.
• Money only comes with hard work, suffering and sacrifice.
• Only people who cheat have money.
• A penny saved is penny earned.
• I need to work hard to pay my bills.
• Rich people are crooks.
• I don’t want to have money and be stuck up.

     One of the major blocks to having money is a belief in scarcity. A lot of war and strife comes from a belief in scarcity, instead of believing that it is possible for everyone to have abundance. True abundance is having all you need, which includes time, love, resources and energy to make your life work. One of the ways to break free from this limiting consciousness is to work with affirmations (positive affirmative statements) while looking into your eyes in a mirror, every day for 40 consecutive days. Live as if you will always have enough.

     Another major block to money is the energy of guilt and shame. You may be (consciously or unconsciously) feeling guilty about having money especially if others around you live on limited funds. There may be unconscious beliefs running through your energy that it is not spiritual to have money or having too much money can be burdensome or you don’t deserve money. You will likely find yourself not having “enough” money because of this deep seeded programming. Each time you hear yourself thinking a limiting thought I invite you to do the following: Cancel out the negative thought immediately by saying out loud “Cancel, cancel, cancel.” Then replace the thought with something more positive and life affirming.

Raise your money vibrations:

     Your current vibrations around money are by-products of the negative programming you have accumulated from early childhood up until now. Most of the programming comes in the form of limiting thoughts, beliefs, perceptions and judgments. For many people, the word “money” is one of the most highly charged words.  If you have a negative energy charge around the word money, you may attract negative experiences of debt, loss and struggle to pay bills and find a lower bank balance.

     To raise your money vibrations, begin to change your money messages. Here are some statements that will shift your thoughts about money.

• Money is neither good nor bad; it’s energy.
• People who are clearest about money are those who have just the right amount of money.
• Think of being “rich” as having enough wealth to carry out your life’s work.
• Measure people’s success by the degree to which they are happy about their lives and believe in themselves.
• Believe that everyone’s success contributes to your success.
• When you think of others and yourself, have thoughts of riches, prosperity and success.
• Know that you have your special place and what you are here to do is special and unique.
• The universe is perfect and abundant; everyone will receive exactly what is best for their soul’s growth.
• Imagine having what you want often. Visualize your success and make the picture as real and vivid as possible. 

Abundance Check:

     This is a fun exercise to raise your money vibrations and attract money to you.

     Take a blank check out and write a check to yourself for the amount of money you wish to manifest. Let the amount be large enough, yet not too large that you cannot imagine the feeling of receiving it. Sign the check “Gift from the Universe” and in the memo area write “Just for being YOU.” Put the check in your wallet and carry it around wherever you go.  Let yourself be in a state of gratitude and joy as if you have already received the money. Enjoy the process!
