How You Treat Money Is The Way Money Will Treat You

The principle I live by is this: How you treat money is the way money will treat you. Place your wallet in front of you. If you’ve had this particular wallet for some time, it may be dirty or torn. The bills may be crumpled up and sticking out in various directions, along with pieces of paper, sticky notes, bills, and grocery lists. Remembering that money is energy, consider whether your wallet, your money’s energetic “home,” is inviting. If you were money, would you want to live here?

I treat the money in my wallet like a dear and trusted friend. My money is not crunched up into tiny balls, it is lovingly handled. I straighten out the corners, smooth the bills, turn them so they all face the same way: forward and face up. As I’m doing this, I acknowledge money’s importance in my life. I appreciate money, and money appreciates me.

Next, become mindful and respectful of caring for the other places your money calls home. Reconciling your bank statements, keeping tabs on your retirement funds, cleaning out the spare change from your car—all are ways to honor your money. Apply the same organized, caring approach to your credit cards and the larger monetary world that goes beyond the cash in a wallet.

How you treat your money is an indication of how much worth you assign to it. Make a comfortable place for your money to call home—one that’s so nice that your money will want to stick around.

Money and the Law of Circulation

Abundance is our natural state. It expresses itself by creating plenty of whatever our energy is focused upon. So the question becomes, “What type of abundance do you have?”

Are you experiencing an abundance of plenty, or an abundance of lack? Like attracts like. Whatever you focus on is drawn into your experience. Look around you. If you are experiencing lack of money, lack of time, lack of happiness, then it’s time to think about learning new ways, new techniques; shifting your abundance to a state of plenty.

One of the Universal Laws is that life is a flow of giving and receiving. There is a rhythm, an ebb and flow to everything. When you give positively of your time, your energy, your knowledge or your money, it will come back to you multiplied. If you are in a state of lack, you are coming from a space of restriction and inhibiting the flow. The universe always mirrors back to you whatever you do, so become conscious of what you are thinking and feeling and doing. Consciously creating your environment; that is the key!

Give what you want to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want more time in your life, then give your time to an organization whose mission is in alignment with your passion. If you want to receive more money, then give money to others.

Give in joy, give freely, and give from a space of abundance and joy. One way of doing this is to tithe. Tithing is not always religious in nature. Think about giving to an organization that adds to your spiritual growth in some way. It could be that a charity doing important work in your community calls out to you. Or it could be to some organization that offers help to those in need worldwide. Whatever, wherever, you are drawn, that is the important piece; give there. Tithe in the spirit of freedom and gratitude without an expectation of receiving anything in return from that particular organization.

It doesn’t matter the amount of your gift, it is the intent that matters. You will receive back the same energy in which you sent your tithe. So be clear of intent when you write out your check. Be happy, be grateful. Be in a state of appreciation.

And keep the flow going. When you give frequently, you are in constant flow and there is no stagnation. When you give only large amounts now and then, you will be in stagnation during periods where you are not giving. That returns you to a state of lack. So give from an abundant heart and keep the energy clear and free of negativity or thoughts of lack.

Tithing regularly, from a space of gratefulness and plenty, brings you into a state of prosperity. That feeling of ease; a knowingness deep within that through the act of giving to others, YOU are adding light to the planet. And isn’t that what it’s all about?

Can You Be Rich Without Money?

There are people who have money and people who are rich – Coco Chanel

Are you rich without money? How?

8499146248_b4ba3cece9 List those ways in your gratitude journal or write them out and hang them on your refrigerator. Keep close to you thoughts of how you are already rich.

Yes, money is an important tool that brings with it opportunities and ease. But it’s not the determinant of richness.

Abundance is a vibration, it’s not the dollar amount of your paycheck or your bank balance.

Remember that what we think and feel we will be.

If we think in terms of lack that’s what we draw to us lack of money! So turn it around: Be in gratitude for what you do have. Live in the energy of abundance.

You have a roof over your head, you have food on the table and you probably have a car to drive. As you stand in the energy of abundance and gratitude you magnetize to you more of the same energies.

When you are grateful for the clothes you wear and your ability to go out for dinner with friends, you change the vibration of your money space. You are rich with gratitude and full of appreciation for all that you do have. This is true wealth.

Do you crave it? Do you hate it? Do you believe that money is the root of all evil or that having money is a prerequisite to a life of freedom and ease?

This month we will dissect our thoughts and emotions around money and come to a place of acceptance and understanding of what money energy is and what it isn’t.

First let’s define money: Money is a means of exchange. That’s all.

We give money to those that give us something of value and we receive money when we give something of value to someone else. The money itself is a neutral means of exchange. The emotions and the thoughts and feelings that we attach to it though are what causes us angst.

The journey we are undertaking this month is coming to terms with money as a neutral tool. It fuels our dreams and harnesses our passions, but it is not the determinant.

What does money mean to you? What’s your internal dialogue about money? Do you often find yourself saying, “I can’t afford that” or “That’s way out of my league.” Remember that your thoughts and feelings are giant magnets drawing back to you energies of the same vibrational pattern. Do you want to draw to you tightness, restriction and lack, or ease, flow and joy? You get to choose.

For the following week, keep track of your thoughts and words as you go about spending and earning money. Write out the thoughts that run through your mind as you engage with money. Are you in serious lack, fear and doubt? Think about the stories you’ve attached to money. Is it hard to get? Hard to keep? Does it slip through your fingers? Are you spending to ease the pain of loneliness or frustration?

These are not easy questions and they are not easy emotions to expose. But in order to change the vibration we have to first become aware of the energy we are sitting in. So breathe in some self-acceptance and lightness as you think about the energy of money. We will move out the old and bring in some new as we continue throughout the month, but for right this moment, just become aware of your money story.
