It's Only Money

I needed to see this this morning.

As soon as we stop valuing money so much, and stop basing our self worth and safety on how much money we have in our bank accounts ~ the grid system for money will dissolve. Money is an illusion that we created, an energy system (based on nothing) that keeps us bound, controlled and living in fear of not being able to provide for ourselves and our family.

Our distorted beliefs around money keeps us limited and unable to step into the power of our true source of manifestation and abundance which is through a direct alignment with our spiritual self. From the day we are born we are raised to be "good money makers", not powerful manifestors. Instead of doing what we love and following our souls passion, we end up spending a large portion of our lives misaligned with our true souls purpose, because we are so focused on paying our bills and having a savings account.

Because of the mass consciousness beliefs and thought forms about money, it is currently part of our program, so we are required to earn money, and because of this ~ we must also learn how to master it. Part of our mastery is not living in fear of our future due to our poverty consciousness, lack and limitations. In addition, we also need to learn to not live in complacency and indecisiveness.......which can lead us to not apply energy towards what we want and need.

As long as we stay focused on "what we want" and focus our energy in the direction of its creation ~ the universe will always support us, opening doors for us so we can attract to us what is needed for us to have a happy, abundant, joy filled life. It is our birthright after all.

I am feeling the urgency to increase my work hours to earn more money for the family, but am trying to balance that with Ryan's need for his mama (and my need to be with and enjoy my little baby). I'll definitely wait until he's at least 1, I had hoped to wait until January. It depends on how busy the husband's work is, because in the last few weeks he's worked less than part-time. I'm not wanting to increase my work hours but I am wanting a bit more financial stability and to start working our way out of debt instead of digging a deeper hole.

Here's to ABUNDANCE.

Breathe

Thinking of the turmoil in the world tonight- of riots in the UK, people frightened by falling stock markets, famine in East Africa. . . I keep inhaling the heat of rage and fear, and exhaling out cool calm.

We can do that you know- we can be little transformers. It's all energy. If we are willing to sit with our own or another's fear or anger, we can breathe it in, sit a little closer to it (I know it's counter-intuitive) and turn it around, using that powerful energy to send out what is needed, to generate deep cool calm peace within, surrounding the raging fires of fear and anger with the life-giving rain of compassion.

Of course, it's not you or me "doing" anything but making ourselves available to the Great Heart that holds us and gives us the free will choice about how we will use our own small heart to participate in the wholeness we share.

It's way of praying- and it doesn't replace praying with our actions, doing what we can, giving what we are able- but I have faith in all the different ways we can come together to co-create peace.
