Why you should keep your money constantly moving…

Money is Energy:

Energy is all around us. In all actuality, everything, even us, is made from energy. Money is no different with the exception of one thing. We have made money a representation of trade, and of how much energy we put into our trade for society. This energetic representation is far more than a number, and far more than paper, and far more than what’s on your bank statement. Money energy is tangible.

Payment is an exchange of energy:

You are paid for the energy that you put into a job.

Those funds are a representation of YOUR energy.

Your funds are more than just a source to live off of. You are banking your energy.

Money wants to stay in motion:

Since we have created money as a representation for traded energy in a society, money by nature is an energy that wants to stay in motion. A society is always moving and changing. Because it represents your contribution to society, it takes on the very characteristics of society. It by nature needs to stay moving and changing. Money is meant to reproduce itself: Again, money takes on the characteristics of the society it’s sparked from. If an economy is failing or even dying, the money value will shrink. But if you take that same money and move it to a different economy that is growing, it too will grow.

Money manifestation:

Start small. Put 10-15% of your income into a project or goal. Do this all the time. Make sure the rest of your money isn’t stagnant, and it moving at all times, and it will grow. That percentage of your income directed to a project or goal imprints your very intentions on those specific funds. You are doing two different things here. You are allowing growth of money towards the success of your goal, but also creating a void where that money was, and that void must, by nature, be filled.

Law of Abundance:

“The Law of Abundance- there is ample money for everyone who knows how to acquire it and keep it. We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and are willing obey the laws governing its acquisition.”

Gratitude:

Being grateful for what you have always will make you match the correct vibration to receive more. In many ways, it’s been taught in spiritual and even religious circles that going without is the way we should be. Humility and service are amplified in many teachings. Yes, humility and service are important in any society, but gratitude for what you have will allow you abundance. That abundance is something you can take or leave.  But would you walk away from $100.00 crumpled in a trash can?  No…….so go ahead and don’t feel guilty about it!

The Art of Living in the Present

Do you remember back to when you were a child, and you would become so involved in everything around you? You would notice everything, experience everything, learning everything. And then your imagination would take over, you would creatively add to the experience you were living?

It is sad, but most of us lose this as we get older. Responsibilities and bills, schedules and pay dates, the constant cycle of “adulting”. I want you to try to, just for one hour, experience everything around you, and allow yourself to think and wonder, question and learn. Take yourself back to age 7 or 8, when everything around you was new. I want you to describe how you feel, your skin, your mind. Exhilarated? That exhilaration is the instant reward you receive, when you live and think in the present.

The mechanism that causes us as children to experience everything in this way is fundamental to our growth. Life is about progression and growth, and that doesn’t stop at 20, 30, 40 or even 80, unless we allow it to. When in the proper mindset, we question, without prejudice. We ask the right questions. Learned behaviors are just that…learned, and we can set them aside. Ultimately you will be able to simplify your life in such a way that anxiety and depression will no longer exist for you. You will no longer be in a slump. You’ll be able to move your life in any direction you want, and at will.

This really is step one to creating the life that you want, and are meant to be living…the way you are meant to live it.

I challenge every reader to try these things, even for a day, and document the way you feel at the end. Better yet, try them everyday, but start over every day. 🙂 Because it truly is about living in the present.

1. Grounding. Ground yourself. Take your shoes and socks off and really feel the ground beneath you. Describe out loud what you feel under your feet. Describe the air on air on your face. Describe what you see in front of you, the details, the color, reach out and touch it. Calm your mind. Listen to the air flow of your air conditioner or heater, concentrate on it until you don’t have any thoughts in your head, only the sound. You are safe, you are here, and you are in the now.
2. Identify. Thought label. Don’t allow yourself to think about something from your past. If a thought comes across your mind, ask yourself, is it about today? Does it affect today? If the answer is no… bless it and release it. Bring yourself back to the now.
3. Wonder. Allow the questions to go through your head about things you see and feel. Allow yourself to be curious
4. Be grateful. Start your day with listing 10 things you are grateful for, before your feet hit the ground right out of bed.
5. Do something impulsive for you. Once a day, treat yourself. I want you to feel that the only difference from now and when you were a child, is that the only person you have to ask permission of, is yourself. 😉

If you need help with any of these concepts, or if you love the change this creates and want to know what’s next, I’m always available to help you. Blessings!

Be in the Know, Live in the Now. The Art of being Self Aware.

Hello, my name is_____and I’m an________

Well for me, my name is Chelsea and I’m an extremely driven perfectionist Type A that has real issues grounding myself and living in the NOW, instead of in the future.  THIS is an occupational hazard for me, and can literally be poison to my life path, because I over analyze and change my path all the time.  I drive myself insane!!  Is anyone else feeling me here?  Unfortunately there is no 12 step program for what I have… I flipped it to be a benefit instead of allowing it to hinder me though…

Most people live in the past, and by that, I mean they let their past effect everything they do, whether they know it or not.  We all have had negative, horrible, sad events happen, people or things disappoint us, we’ve had good times too, that can effect us negatively as well, because of constant comparing our present lives to those times… we limit ourselves unknowingly.   We limit ourselves by saying… “Those were the good times…” or “Those were my best years”… or “Wow, I used to be…”   The past is our school, the memories are the textbooks, the teacher handed back your tests, and the grade is what you take with you forward.  PUT THE BOOK BAG DOWN!  Drop it at the door, it does not serve you today. 

In a nutshell… the past isn’t you anymore.  In the literal sense, our physical bodies regenerate every 7 years, so that alone will tell you that you’re not the same person as then… but EMOTIONALLY and MENTALLY you are also not the same person.  Every experience you have creates emotion associated with it, which imprints your memory, and those imprints are stored at the cellular level.  This is a very basic concept associated with evolution.  It’s science, and it’s how it is.  With those memories stored there, and changing you, you’ve learned from past endeavors.  Negative emotions brought to the surface, from the past, are useless to you.  Shame, guilt, sadness, insecurity, rejection, embarrassment, and any other you can think of.  Wasteful of energy… unless they are not processed, and you have to process them to put the bookbag down and leave it at the door.  And it’s so important to your future!

Manifestation:  We all color our own worlds vividly, we create our own masterpiece that is our life.  Just like any artist would do, we have to clean our brushes between colors.  You cannot manifest effectively our future, if there is residual energy or emotion in our present, from our past.  Clean your brushes!

Life Path:  You cannot expect yourself to live fully and make solid choices if you are basing your future and present decisions on emotions from the past.  Yes, it is true that only a crazy person would do the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result… but usually it’s a past emotion or memory that causes us to do it this way.  You don’t have to change it up, but you do have to make sure that from your standpoint in the now, you’re not looking through emotional fog or smoke. 

Mental Wellbeing:  Ahhh you all knew that at some point this scientific based psychic would go all rogue on ya, and get new age, didn’t ya.  Yes, yes… I’m going to bring up the Mind-Body-Spirit connection…  There is scientific proof that these memory imprints and emotional imprints stored at the cellular level do indeed cause illnesses to manifest on the physical level.  Yes, I’m talking about things like… cancer, strokes, heart attacks, blood pressure issues, diabetes, and many many many more.  And if that wasn’t enough, the stress caused by holding on to these things makes it worse, pre-ages you, speeds things along, and ultimately stress will kill you.   You have to process your emotional memories, understand they are a part of you ONLY in the sense that they helped shape who you are today, bless it, and release it… just let it go.  It would even be better if you can find a way to be thankful for it, because that would work to put you in the right frame of mind for manifestation… but if you can process and let things go, then that already is a healthy (on all levels) step in the right direction.

Now, with all that said, I’m going to tell you the two biggest poisons to yourself, your soul, your achievement, your future.  You need to eliminate these two things, or any derivative of them, from your vocabulary… starting… NOW.  

“WHAT IF…”

(helps create excuses and enables fear in the future)

“I REGRET…”

You will need to shift your focus, to learn to live without regret.  You’ve learned something from every experience you’ve had, so there is nothing to regret.  You may have missed an opportunity, but what did you do in the meantime?  You learned from missing it, and learned from what you were doing instead.  Regret is a completely useless emotion.

BE GRATEFUL…

It is important for your emotional wellbeing, self confidence, and living in the now (grounding), that you find something to be grateful for in every situation.  Not only does this make you a happier, and more fulfilled and well rounded person, it also opens your eyes to learn to view things differently.  On the manifestation level, it aligns your thought vibrations with the Source, the Universe, God, or whatever higher power you choose to believe in or work with (they all go back to the same thing).  That vibration makes manifestation possible.  Be your own magician… manifestation is just that… it’s every day magic.  I encourage you to be your own Public Relations person, and “spin” your past experiences, present experiences and future experiences, to find BENEFIT to your life experiences, even if they are bad.  (I’m really great at this, so if you have trouble, email me).  You’ll get good at it too!

But HOW?  This is harder than I thought!!

People do find it difficult to live in the now, and stop the racing thoughts that can take any of us over…  Well, the New Ager Psychic (occupational hazard, yet again) would tell you mind/body/spirit connection needs to be nourished by detoxifying your body (green tea is a good start… and lots of water throughout the day).  Learn something new about yourself, and learn something new about something that interests you every day… that nourishes your mind.  And meditation is good to ground your soul… and balance your chakras, yadda yadda, yes.  BUT if you don’t have an hour to flatline your mind, and teleport yourself into a different zone, then just try this. 

If you find yourself suddenly obsessing over something that happened in the past, or reliving something, quickly turn your attention to the room you are in.  Answer basic questions… What color are the walls?  What is my favorite piece of furniture?  Count the pillows on the couch.  How much did that piece of furniture cost?  BASIC questions, yes, about what is CURRENTLY in the room, not what was, and not what you wish to be.  Focus on the now.  To take it a step further, literally ask yourself, “How does the carpet feel under my feet?”  Take your shoes off, and feel the carpet, and then yes, out loud, answer your question.  Touch the wood furniture and do the same thing.  And then, when you’re done, ask yourself what time it is… and look at clock, and you are in the now.  Do it as often as you need to until you develop a trigger that will allow you to live in the now quickly… it can even be as simple as a rock from your garden, or something small you keep in your house.  something that symbolizes and is a part of your foundation, your home, your stability, in the now.  But that’s all for another time, and another post. 

POINTS TO REMEMBER:

90% of your reality is IN YOUR MIND……..you manifest with your mind, you experience and feel with your mind, you navigate through the situation with your mind, you process other people’s reactions in your mind. 

We only use roughly 10% of our brains…. can you imagine what your reality would be like if you used even twice that?  Remember to exercise the mind, the body, and the soul, every day. 

LAUGH AT YOURSELF!  Replace embarrassment with humor.  We all do crazy, stupid, and completely out of line things sometimes, and we all make jackasses out of ourselves as well… really, it just depends on how you deal with it, doesn’t it?  Your reaction becomes part of your reality… so… instead of being embarrassed, laugh and make fun of yourself.  Never apologize for who you are, or what you did (unless you hurt someone else).

FORGIVE OTHERS:  It’s for you.  Not them.  If you don’t forgive, it will eat at your soul, until you are scarred.  On any or all levels.  To not forgive is like you drinking poison, and wondering why the other person isn’t dying. 

ABOVE ALL THOUGH

APPROVE OF YOURSELF.  Don’t criticize yourself.  If you have to literally use the words “I approve of my decision” then do it.  “I approve of my hair” then do it.  “I approve of my goals” then just do it. 

And, yes, I’ll say it… Live, Love, and Laugh……. 

……………Until next time!
