Money and success are energies that represent our subconscious feelings about them.
The only difference between the people that have money and the people that don’t are the beliefs and the corresponding feelings and emotions they have about money and success.
If you are out to improve your financial situation and don’t fully understand the energies behind money and success and make changes to align with abundant energies, you’ll spend even more frustrating years struggling to make a comfortable living with your spiritual business, and miss out on helping MORE people and making a bigger difference in our world.
If you are in the spiritual world and have studied the energies of money at all, you already understand how negative beliefs and the emotions they create interfere with our best-laid plans to improve our money situation. That is pretty much a given. What most people aren’t aware of is that money can be broken into 5 separate categories, each with its own set of beliefs and emotions that either support abundance or don’t.
My mentor, Margaret Lynch defined and organized the following 5 categories of money. I use this list when working with my clients because it makes it EASY to find personal conflicts to money and heal them in a complete, systematic way. Keeping in mind that, money represents either survival energies, where you have to fight or take to have, or abundant energies where gratefulness and other soul generated emotions amplify the vibration of having. Either way, you vibrate, the LOA will support you to experience more of the same.
As a human, you get to CHOOSE how you wish to believe about the energies of money:
Income: representing the amount of value you bring to the world,
Savings: representing how safe, contained, and secure you feel about yourself and your place in the world,
Debt: representing the amount of shame and blame you carry,
Big Leap Goals: represent how much Faith you have in a positive future,
Toxic Money: represents money in your world that has ulterior, controlling, disempowering hidden agendas attached to it.
Let’s talk about income because many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle with this category.
Income represents the amount of defined value of your time, skills, expertise, and wisdom you bring to the workplace. As an employee, you agree to receive your value in wages or salary for your time. You apply for a job and the income you believe matches your value. Your employer agrees with you about the value you bring and pays you accordingly. Your value as an employee has been defined. When you go to work for yourself, all of a sudden, YOU are the one who decides how much value the results of your products and services produce, then charge for it and receive it in the forms of reward you like: cash, check, card, validation, hugs, word of mouth. And that can be an overwhelming experience. Especially for the wounded healer archetype, because by definition a healer has a broken past where their worthiness, deservingness, and value have been challenged. That is why it can be so hard for a Spiritual Entrepreneur to master the income stream of their business.
Wounded healers tend to undervalue the effect of their products and services, for two major reasons:
1) Because what you do comes naturally, feels wonderful and fulfilling, so why charge a lot, greediness isn’t spiritual, right?
2) With core wounds and family paradigm set points that challenge your Divinely Given energies of worthiness, deservingness and value, you can feel too big for your britches, or feel you’re ‘taking” from them more than you need or deserve.
And that thinking and believing do not lead to a comfortable living income stream. So, how do you use this information to help you heal underlying feelings that compete with earning a comfortable income?
Here’s what I do:
Start by writing down your current income level on a piece of paper.
Write it REALLY big and say out loud: “It’s not enough!”
As you say it, you’ll likely feel a series of negative emotions that arise in response to that thought.
This is the mind-body connection in action: you thought about your income and you felt strong feelings in your body.
Common feelings for “not enough” income levels are anxiety, hopelessness, disappointment, depression, shame.
Then go ahead and answer this question:
“My income is not enough and the 2 strongest emotions or feelings I have in my body about that are ________________ and _________________________”
This is an important diagnostic exercise because even though you may try to affirm away or meditate towards a better future income, this belief and feelings it generates are subconsciously in play.
Remember, subconscious feelings are what TRULY directs the LOA to create in your world.
The easiest way to heal this conflict yourself is following up this modified Byron Katie process with the question, “Who would I be without the belief that my income isn’t enough?”
Without believing your income isn’t enough, you are free to believe something else…. but not the opposite, because the opposite fights what is and we all know that what you resist persists. So, instead, it’s wise to look for ways to ‘love what is’. That is why instead of hammering to change the belief, I like to guide my clients to shift by choosing what soul emotions they’d rather feel about their income instead and then CHOOSE to align with those feelings of inner richness. This yields a much better LOA vibration offering.
Most heart-centered folks choose soul feelings (AKA the ones generated by your soul and not your ego) like fulfillment, the pride of making a difference, or the joy of giving and sharing a lot more. So, the answer to who you would be without that belief is someone who finds inner fulfillment, the pride in making a difference, and the joy of giving through delivering your products and services. Doesn’t that inner experience feel a lot more motivating and exciting than fears of not enough?
With this fresh alignment of soul-generated emotions tied to the act of creating income, the fulfillment of your soul emotions becomes your inner drive to serve more people and in doing so, create more income. Not only that, the vibration of soul emotions will ALWAYS melt fears into nothingness… that’s the actual healing. So, instead of looping your subconscious with fears of surviving. you’ll be vibrating joy… and the Universe will send you more opportunities to create joy… AKA MORE BUSINESS that generates income! Imagine how much more fun, exciting, and motivating it would feel if you approached generating income in your business as a way to generate the soul emotions of pride, fulfillment, and joy? Imagine how it would “pull” you towards that pleasure instead of feeling all tied up with unconscious fears that challenge deservingness, worthiness, or the value you bring to the world.
Remember, the only difference between the people that have money and the people that don’t are the beliefs and the corresponding feelings and emotions they have about money and success.
