Healing Your Relationship with Money

I have been in the process of healing my relationship with money and wealth intensively for a few weeks now. And I had been noticing a tread with most online money resources.

I strongly felt that there are lots of great resources out there that help us to create wealth, by focusing on how to invest, start a business, and create multiple streams of income.

But what I began to realize is that while all those resources are essential, I felt that I was missing a part of the process. Most of the resources would mention something along the lines of healing your relationship with money. I began to realize I didn’t know how to do that.

You know, the part of the process of revealing the limiting beliefs that are holding you back? Where you feel ecstatic release and money comes pouring in?

I then began to do some research for a way to heal my relationship with money, and I came across a few books and articles that broached the subject. But for some reason they didn’t resonate with me. They talked about the idea of healing your relationship with money but nothing concrete, and that’s what I was really looking for. A concrete, simple, effective way to heal my relationship with money

So without really knowing what to do, I mused upon the subject and began to get in touch with my higher guidance. And the process I received was so simple so elegant I was amazed. I also felt the desire to share it with everyone I could.

The process leverages our mind’s ability to heal itself. And I have found it to work in four easy steps: Acknowledgment, Giving Thanks, Release, and Peace.

Acknowledgment

The first step involves acknowledgment. This may seem obvious but let me go into detail. The idea of first acknowledging my feelings and thoughts is essential because it allows one to recognize the current state of affairs. How do I feel about this money? How do I feel about money in general? What is this thought telling me about money? What is this feeling telling me about money? This acknowledgment brings the thought and feeling out of the dark and into the light of consciousness.

For example, let’s say you have a thought about money. And you may say to yourself oh, I can’t afford that, or some other thought linked to scarcity.

The first thing I would do is recognize that I am have a scarcity thought. Or a thought that I don’t like. If the thought is linked to a feeling, or it makes me feel something as well, I also acknowledge that. I do this by saying to myself, I acknowledge this thought and feeling.

By saying this either quietly or aloud, it brings the thought and feeling out. It brings it out into the forefront of your mind.

And acknowledgment is the first step to recovering from any issue we may have.

Giving Thanks

The next step may seem a little bizarre but I truly think it is important.

Next, I say thank you.

I thank the thought and feeling, and also my mind, for bringing this thought and feeling into my awareness.

I say thank you for bringing this thought to my attention, and thank you for the lesson I have learned.

I thank the thought and my mind for bringing this to my attention so I may make a correction in my life.

The essential reason to do this is because it encourages the mind to continue to bring up thoughts into your consciousness that no longer congruent with the reality you are creating. The good news is, this is basically any negative thought or feeling!

So by saying thank you, you are also thanking the thought for giving you a lesson. This thought and feeling is giving you a lesson, giving you feedback, about what is going on in your life. So by thanking it, you thank the thought and feeling for the lesson it has brought for you to grow.

Release

The next step is a bit tricky but its really a fun one to use. It involves using your mind to release the energy that surround the thought and/or feeling.

I like to use a specific script for this, as I have found it to work very well for me, but you are free to alter it as you see fit.

I usually say, “I now ask my mind to easily and gentle unwind and release the energy of this thought and feeling to the universe.”

By doing this I am empowering my mind to find its own way to release the energy and thought, so you no longer have to contain the thought or energy. You get to keep the lesson but not the energetic block that is holding you back.

This way it uses our mind to help solve some of our issues without having to know everything about releasing the energy. It calls upon our subconscious resources in order to assist in mending the energy.

You could also use Spirit, God, Jesus, or any other benevolent force in place of the “mind.” I usually do this if the thought or feeling is especially stubborn or sticky!

Peace

The most important step is to ask that the mind replace the energy with a sense of peace.

I find that peace works best. It places the mind in a receptive and open position, so you may replace your old thoughts with whatever new thoughts or feelings you want to have. But it also, most importantly, fills the space of that thought with something that’s much better than before.

So I usually will say, “I now ask that peace be left there instead.”

I have found this simple script and technique to work so well, and found it so easy to use, I absolutely had to share it with you!

So to summarize, when you’re having a thought or feeling that you don’t want Say:

“I acknowledge this thought and feeling has come into my experience and existence.”
“I thank this thought and my mind for bringing this to my attention, and I thank it for the lessons it has to teach me.”
“I now ask my mind to gently and easily release the energy.”
“And that peace be left instead.”

Let me know how this works for you!

Many blessings.
