| This article is on the Law of Attraction in relation to money. We attract to us what we focus on most. Unfortunately, most people keep focusing on what they lack, thus keep attracting more of the same. We want to instead focus on what we want. The idea is to visualize what we want, see it, and believe it is coming. Adapt the emotional tone of having received it– which should be excitement and joyfulness. Then, stop worrying about it, go about our business and believe it is already on its way. There’s the expression, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” which Dr. Want Dyer argues against in his book, You’ll see it when you believe it. Other than money, there’s no life area upon which more inaccuracies and negative connotations have been fostered. For example, the phrase “Money has never made anyone happy.” Truth: Poverty has never made anyone happy either! When we are financially comfortable, we can do more for others than when we are struggling financially. In the book, The Energy Bus, Jon Gordon writes,”When you feel good, everyone around you feels good…we can’t feel good without enough money to pay the bills.” Catherine Ponder writes in, Open Your Mind to Prosperity, “Poverty is a sin, not a blessing.” Furthermore, the phrase, “Money is the root of all evil,” is another inaccurate connotation to examine. Truth: Money is neutral. Greed, dishonesty, and envy are what’s evil. E. Harv Eker, writes in The Millionaire Mind, that he believed rich people were bad. He was poor until he accepted that there were nice people and not so nice people with and without money. Eker set free and he became a multi-millionaire. Esther and Jerry Hicks, in their book, Ask and it is Given, suggest THE WALLET PROCESS. Put a $100 bill in your wallet; throughout your day, remind yourself that it’s there and you could buy something with it if you wanted. If you mentally spend it 20-30 times a day, you will have spent two or three thousand dollars. This helps you to maintain that wonderful feeling of financial abundance. Magical things regarding money will eventually follow. The book, Creating Money by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer states, “If you recognize any negative thought, place a positive thought alongside it.” For example, if you catch yourself saying, ‘I don’t have enough money,’ simply say, ‘I have an abundance of money.’ Put that negative thought in a balloon and have it float away. Or, mentally write it on a blackboard then erase it. In Becoming Rich, Dexter Yager and Doug Weed offer eleven principles of material and spiritual success. In the Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power, Joseph Murphy advises to keep thinking, “ Money comes to me abundantly,” and it will. I also recommend the books, Harmonic Wealth, by James Arthur Ray; Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, M.D; and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. In closing, I hope you are now ready to create and live the life you love. Experience the joy of creating enough money in your life not to worry about the future. I’ll soon be giving a 2½ hour workshop on creating abundance. If interested, please contact me. |
