“There is no debt in. Divine Mind, therefore, I owe no person anything, all is squared. All my obligations are now wiped out, under grace in a perfect way.” ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
For #wealthwednesday this week I thought I would use an affirmation by Florence Scovel Shinn as I was talked about her recently and her inspiration behind a tool I call “Milk the Twigs”
I know and fully appreciate the overwhelming Fear that can be felt when obligations mount and there seems too much Month at the end of the Money
For a very long time I struggled with my ‘Money Mindset’ as I was subconsciously programmed at an early age and the Fear around money was palpable but I was unaware of the impact it had on me and despite all my efforts I would keep falling into ‘Default Fear’ as I call it
But the trouble with Fear is it is a Negative Blocking energy just perpetuating the very thing we are trying to get away from
The only antidote to Fear is Faith but I get it ….
I know how overwhelming Fear can be especially around money and I tried book after book and trainings. You name it and when I reverted to default and started worrying about money I felt a failure and felt I was destined to always be like it until I read a book the Universe sent me and made it impossible to avoid
And now My favourite money book ever and when the author admitted she still felt scared every day about money (despite being a multimillionaire) I suddenly realised it was normal and I was normal and maybe I would always worry about money and I needed to let myself ofd the hook but I just needed to acknowledge the Fear and use tools to raise my vibration back to Faith
This affirmation maybe just the antidote you need today and it could be said verbally or mentally but my advice is write it out several times.
Marie Forleo says when she desires something she writes it out 15 times a day for a certain amount of days
And talking of days
Just know there is a lag time with our thoughts and affirmations and when they can show up because our previous thoughts are still manifesting
One of my favourite quotes is by Abraham Hicks which is “Don’t get Tripped Up today by Yesterday’s Vibration” meaning when it looks like nothing is happening don’t quit.
As I mentioned. We are just still seeing the results of previous thoughts and they have to play out before our current thoughts show up in our 3D reality
That’s why ‘Milk the Twigs’ is such a great tool when it looks like nothing is happening and helps you hold the “Faith” in the yet unseen
And if you are interested in my favourite Money book of ALL time and haven’t heard me mention it before it is ….
“Take ownership of the result before you know the path” ~ Myron Golden
When you want to travel to a destination these days we usually use the browser on our phones and click directions or go to the Maps App and type in the address and press start
Question? ~ Do you check out the whole route before you start or do you trust that it is going to give you the steps you need before you need them to guide you to the place you want to get to?
Even if you missed a turning because the route is totally unknown to you and you hesitate and think is it this one or the next one. “Dam missed it, missed it.” it will reroute you and still guide you towards your destination
Getting to that destination is the “Result”
GPS only gives you steps not the whole journey at once
It’s the same with a desired outcome. A result we want.
You can set out on the journey without knowing the how
You only need to know the result you want and take the first step and then trust that the next step will show up and the next and the next …
I call it have “Faith in The Yet Unseen”
When it looks like nothing is happening, I have to much evidence from past experience to know miracles show up when I least expect it usually in the most effortless way
But when I overthink it or try and “Fix It” myself it effects my energy and closes off the access to Miracles and Inspiration
When I am 100% focused on my result and have Faith no matter how unrealistic it looks due to current circumstances Inspired Ideas drop in and Inspired Actions steps nudge me.
The right People and the right Circumstances appear seemly out of nowhere but in reality this is the ‘Law of Resonance’ in action
Because I am focused on the result I want I resonate out and energy that Attracts back the right resources I require
A bit like the actions steps to take on a GPS system on our phones to get us to our desired destination but unfortunately most people think they need to know the whole route to take before they start to get a desired result and they get overwhelmed.
Then the fear and doubt set’s in of all the reasons they can’t or it won’t work and they quit before they even start.
Why not try this instead? ….
Truly ask yourself a desired result you would like and take ownership of your desire
Say Yes to Yourself and admit “Yes I would Like this Result in My Life” Regardless what anyone else thinks” (better still don’t even tell anyone your desires)
And admit to yourself I do “NOT” have a scooby doo how I can get this result at this point in time but I know I would like it/want it and just leave it there for a little while ….
Your only job at this point is to take time to revisit that desire at some point every day.
Even if it is only for 30 seconds
Set an alarm on your phone if you have to at a time you know you will get a few seconds to yourself
The alarm time can change daily based on your schedule but the important thing is to spend some time focused on the desired result you would like as often as possible
Nothing else !!!
Get that energy resonating out into the Universe is the most important “Action Step” to take then the path will appear
Don’t put a time line on it. Don’t put a date on it. Time is fake any way. There is only NOW
Being relaxed and having Faith in the Yet Unseen creates Miracles
Deadlines and Dates create Stress aka Miracle Blocking Energy
So today why not take time to take ownership of a result you would like. You may have to sit with this a while to remember something you truly want then wallow in that result already having happened and “FEEL” the essence of it.
That’s the place to go each day
And if you miss a day. No worries !!
Just acknowledge that you ‘Acknowledge’ that you missed a day and say ‘good job for acknowledging I missed a day’ and make a date for the next day or even better just do it then
Everything and I mean everything adds up. We just have to have Faith in the Yet Unseen
So I have been thinking about expressing my feelings on this subject for along time and honestly because the people whose advice turned my stomach were far more successful and wealthier than me (or are they) imposter syndrome struck and I thought who would listen to me over them? So I ignored the callings of my heart over and over again until eventually and unfortunately what I felt intuitively came to pass and is actually still coming to pass even today so I cannot hold it in any longer.
I was Shocked by The author of one of my favourite books admitting how they have had felt in their new book
Their book I mentioned I have referred to multiple times when I have felt out of alignment and in their “New book” I learned in their own words that at the time of writing what I felt a work of spiritual genius for me, they were calling themselves a piece of shit and there was a lot of self loathing
I know millions of people love this person and are one of the most profound Spiritual Gurus of our times
Who knew while we followed their wisdom inside they had so much disregard for themselves
I also became aware of one of my Own mentors who had prescribed a certain method of working who I actually had resonated away from slightly because of their methodology was now completely going through a turnabout and promoting a different perspective after life threw them massive health issue curveballs
Then someone else who I was actually familiar with and actually deeply concerned about and the message they were spreading. I saw a post about I think honestly I suspected would come but here was the evidence I hoped not to see of a diagnosis of a serious illness
And so it goes on
Someone else I know of who promoted a work ethic, business building methodology I could no longer resonate to only recently has posted admitting their method got them rich in money but poor in time and then followed up by another post admitting to multiple health issues and how they regret being so busy they ignored the signs
I could actually go on but these examples are enough to express the motivation for this content
All of these people are very successful and wealthy. I say again but are they?
I resonated away from their hard work ethic and the reason why …..
Because intuitively I uncomfortable around their suggested work practices
It didn’t allow for fun. Relaxation and quality time with loved ones etc
Ok your bank accounts maybe full with millions but at what cost?
If it were all to end tomorrow what memories had they made
Because of this I changed my work practices. Which in turn took away a lot of guilt
I decided whenever my partner was around I downed tools on building my business and focused on us and shared activities even if that was snuggling up and watching a series on Netflix which in some areas with certain members of the areas I discussed above was a huge no, no.
Even having a TV was a swear word if you wanted to have a successful business and forget time with loved ones. Just explain that if they want you to be successful and wealthy and enjoy the trappings of wealth they have to sacrifice time with you now for enjoyment later were their cries but what if.
What If you suddenly or someone you love suddenly gets struck down by a severe illness or God forbid a bus what do you want them to remember you for ….
18 hour days 7 days a week or that box set you shared and discussed about afterwards and the time you were cuddled up watching it and the memory of when they gently kissed you on the forehead out of nowhere for no particular reason or the Santorini sunset you shared together ?
All actual experiences I have had plus many more and my relationship is stronger for it and it continues to grow with even more shared memory making experiences however I haven’t given up on my business goals and dreams
I am just going through a transition of my personal journey of how I create that business in the most joyful, blissful way possible and set an example of how others can achieve the same from expressing their gifts
Wealth is not just money in the bank because your wealth bank can be running on empty if the physical bank accounts are full but your emotional bank accounts are empty of beautiful experiences, memories and bankrupt of fulfilling relationships
I have to admit Because these people were very successful with very full physical bank accounts I thought I should follow their advice but gradually I kept hitting roadblocks and feel ever increasing discomfort physically every time I tried to follow their advice
What changed ….
I started to listen to and trust my true feelings which was to step away from their advice
I went inside to ensure I didn’t go without but I, in all honestly felt no one would listen to my methodology due to the lack of evidence of my own success
But it is interesting to see now and also concerning to see how many people followed their methodologies to the extent of sacrifice only for their (my previous) gurus to suddenly have a change of Faith and what changed their belief systems ?
In most cases …. Serious health issues
I am not grateful they had to go through such serious trauma to get their awakening but I am grateful that they are now realigning to a more healthy, fulfilling way of operating that fills all their bank accounts. Spiritual, Emotional and Physical
I would rather align with my Heart first and then follow Divine Guidance of how to express myself most authentically in Faith that the Highest Version of me that is calling to me and I, will shake hands in the near future one beautiful soul experience at a time along the journey
One of the people whose advised practices really turned my stomach but had so many ardent fans who has gone through and is still recovering from serious illness who is thankfully taking some time to use holistic methods to heal admitted that through one of those practices came to see that the reason they worked such longer hours and inadvertently advocated that method so virulently was because after experiencing childhood poverty deep down regardless of how wealthy they were was scared if they stopped working they would run out of money
I have to say I deeply admired they admitted this publicly but as I mentioned I have been feeling this for a long time and started compiling this blog post a long time ago and I ignored my intuition that eventually proved right and my intuition is telling me by their current posts they are still not healed from this negative belief and I am concerned that illness will return because there is a pattern there that is subconsciously using their current situation to use their old vehicle of attracting business and making money
That’s why I say beware of false gurus
I have to say at this point I do not blame any of these people
They had no idea what they were doing
They had no idea what was motivating them
And
Because their work and business methods yielded such positive results and they deeply care for people and wanted them to experience wealth and success to they understandably stood loud and proud and said “Follow Me, Do This. This Works. This Will Help You” because bottom line they are deeply compassionate caring people to the detriment to their own health and needs
False Gurus is a massive statement to make but what I mean by False Gurus is genuine people, believing in what they are selling but to the detriment to their Health and Wellbeing and the Health and Wellbeing of others because they don’t know what is truly motivating them until they probably have to face a dark night of the soul because they have been far to busy working they haven’t given themselves time to listen to the callings of their hearts so they are selling one message on the outside but on the inside the message could be completely different which they are most likely drowning out with activity
As I mentioned above I have literally read in the last 24 hours of writing this someone admit they have ignored signals from their body because they were to busy working (and telling multiple people to work this same way) and they are now facing multiple health issues and are imploring people to not ignore the signs
When we are out of Alignment with our true source we are sending cortisol around our bodies and leaving ourselves open to stress related illnesses and all sorts of ailments. In actuality aliments are nature’s alarm system to warns us we are out of balance with our true selves. Fear is also an alarm system but instead of asking ourselves what is it trying to tell us we block it out with Drink, Alcohol, Cigarettes …. work !!
I have a vision myself of a business method I truly want to build but I decided to stop and stop worrying basically about the how and come off the Level 2, Level of Consciousness “By Me” and listen to my Heart and follow one Inspired Action step after one Inspired Action step after another and surrender to the outcome and forget timelines and deadlines and walk in Faith of the yet unseen becoming physical
If this article Inspires You to do anything I hope it is Stop !! Take a breath and listen to Your Soul Speaking to You
See where you have been ignoring it
Give it an opportunity to Say something
Give yourself permission “Not” to take “Any” action
Give Yourself “Time” to recalibrate and realign and listen again
I am learning more and more that our Hearts are the Seat of Our Soul and that “WE ALL” have a gift to share with the world and to access that gift lay’s within.
Within our Heart
Our Hearts will never lie to us when we give it space to speak
As a recently certified Advanced Ho’Oponopono Practitioner I really enjoyed about learning the process of Dr Joe Vitale that does speak to my heart
Inspiration
Intention
Clearing
Trust it to unfold
Before taking any action do something to allow pure Inspiration to come through. Meditate, walk, music. Something joyful to raise your vibration and get to what is called in Ho’Oponopono Zero. The place of nothingness. No thought. Pure potentiality and where we were before we allowed other people’s opinions, experiences and beliefs to cloud our vision.
In this place of high vibration we are open to Inspiration
When a thought drops in. An inspired idea set the Intention for it to manifest.
Do some kind of clearing. It could be breath work or repeating the Ho,Oponopono Prayer “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you”
Take any inspired actions that come to mind. Call that friend, visit that place etc and then trust it to unfold
Rinse repeat
When I say rinse repeat I mean it on two levels
Rinse repeat taking some regular time, every day if possible but don’t berate yourself if you miss a day. We all get those unforeseen’s. Even for a few seconds to take, for example some slow deep breaths and then see if any ideas or action steps come to mind or even ask your Heart “What will do have me do?” and follow Guidance. Even if nothing comes it is always beneficial to start making time to just “Stop”. The more you “Stop” the more Your heart has opportunities to come to You.
Also
Rinse repeat taking time to have a date with your Soul or Your Ultimate self. Those desires of your heart are your soul calling to you come over here because Your Ultimate self is already there, living that life you desire otherwise you wouldn’t feel them. They just wouldn’t resonate with You. Sitting quietly taking some slow breaths through the nose. Holding for a few seconds and then releasing with your mouth open, dropping the jaw as you exhale can connect back into your Heart and then allow the Vision of Your Hearts to Desire to Manifest on Your Mental Screen
The more you date Your Ultimate Self You will eventually ….
Live the life You truly desire. Not the life of some False Guru self who doesn’t know they are living and acting out of Fear instead of Faith !!
My mind is hard to tame sometimes and while “trying” to focus on a task it sparks off ideas and it feels like speech bubbles are literally popping up above my head and then I am in this mental tug of war.
Stay on the game – do it now – stay on the game – DO IT NOW !!!
Just like now when I am watching a Marie Forleo – B School video and my mind is coming up with this post and “Do it Now” won despite trying to stay focused on the task in hand however if I didn’t do it now I know the moment would be lost and the method/content I want to convey would be lost (or at least not as effective).
I have a habit I try to stick to daily of listening to something inspirational first thing in the morning. This used to be from my YouTube app on my phone on my commute which has adapted to YouTube on my TV app as I dress and recently instead of searching I have picked the first of the recommended having Faith in the Universe that this is meant for my ears and the other day I heard Earl Nightingale talk of a man who took (in his 60’s) his ideas that his employers wouldn’t let him develop and turned them into a multimillion dollar business.
This stuck with me and reminded me how in various jobs/roles I have had ideas that I felt would improve the company but weren’t appreciated or developed because …. “that’s not how we do things around here” or “things are working fine as they are” “we don’t like change here” etc.
I love change. I love personal development but I tried to stay compliant. I tried to shut down my ideas, my thinking, to stay in the role but eventually it worked against my nature and my well-being and I or the Universe conspired my exit and boy am I so glad !!!
Those ideas are implanted in you for a reason. They are what makes you “YOU” so never suppress it like I did. They are your individual Awesomeness. Your reason for being and when they come embrace them in the moment.
Jot them down on some spare paper laying around and stick them in your pocket or write them on your hand but remember to still jot them on paper at the earliest convenience before you wash your hands (if you know what I means :0 ).  Voice note them, set a reminder with a note attached on your phone to revisit them asap. With todays technology the varieties are endless to capture what could be your million dollar idea or just your opportunity to not work for people who shut down your uniqueness.
If you can relate to this I would love you to comment and let me know.
Just because the news is doing what it does best. Focusing on negativity.
I saw this on social media and it made me feel good.
We can’t heal hate with more hate. We cannot eradicate fear by focusing on fear.
What we think about we bring about so lets bring about love and positivity and hope and faith and by watching something like this may raise our vibrations and open us to attract something beautiful and it feels like a good place to start
Yesterday prior to the start of the Tour De France I watched on TV how they literally catalogued all the Sporting downfalls suffered by the Brits this year.
Cricket to World Cup and Wimbledon.
I also read (what I have read several times before in different books) there is a possibility the Great Depression could have been avoided if it wasn’t for the collective negative consciousness at the time.
Could people focusing on fear and doubt and speculated and calculated accounts in the press only escalated the negative down turn?
As I mentioned earlier I read this a long time ago and it has always played on my mind, could our recent economic downturn been avoided if there wasn’t so much focus from the media etc ‘how we were all going to hell in a hand cart’?
The two presenters jokingly quirked how the Prime Minister David Cameron was to believed to be rocking up to the Grande Depart as all hopes were out for other events. They joked he went to the World Cup but obviously were out of that but then he went to Wimbledon but now Andy Murray is out of that so I believe he’s coming to the Tour de France.
I jeered at my TV (you know I’m not the only one …. I’m not the only one am I? Oh who cares !! any way) “Hey guys cut it out, jinx it why don’t you !!!
Well now, unfortunately it is all history and Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour De France.
I won’t deny I am gutted but as Mark humbly refers to in his Guardian interview he has friends returning from Afghanistan or who have lost limbs so compared to that not having excruciatingly exciting sprint finishes to watch is small fry.
And there’s always next year !!
But just a warning guys because as I have read in “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen this morning “A person is limited only by the thoughts he chooses” or as T D Jakes said on Super Soul Sunday “I Am no greater than the thoughts I think”.
So lets have a ‘Collective Consciousness of unlimited potentiality’ and believe that Everything is Possible, especially greatness in everything we put our attention on. After all it all a case of perception. Something is only good or bad because we label it that way.
