Affirmations are a great tool to help you build your prosperity consciousness because they keep your mind focused on abundance rather than lack.
However, it’s important that your affirmations are worded in such a way as to make them believable. They must be believable because if you don’t believe what you’re saying, your affirmations will be completely ineffective.
In addition, affirmations should be worded in present tense, not future tense. If they place the benefits in some obscure future timeframe, you won’t feel a benefit from saying them NOW.
Several years ago while meeting with a woman who was interested in my Zen Gardens, she said something that struck me like the ol’ proverbial frying pan to the head. She said: “Money is nothing more than love in an alternate form. It’s ENERGY. If you’re struggling with it, you’re looking at it from a very skewed perspective. Just think about it.”
Now, all these years later, her voice comes back to me. I hear it as clearly as if she were sitting right beside me. And yes, it makes me smile. It makes me smile because once more I am considering some of the things that may lend to what is so commonly called “poverty consciousness”. I know lots of people in this state at the moment, all of whom I love, most of whom will not let go of their own limiting beliefs about money and/or prosperity. What’s a girl to do?
Have you ever wondered about people who seem to naturally attract good stuff? They have no shortage of money, a circle of great friends, loving and healthy relationships, great jobs, limitless possibilities – everything seems to come so easily to them, while you struggle and scrape by.
These people know the secret to living prosperously – and you can learn it too! It’s simply a matter of changing the way you think, feel and act – which will change the results you get in life.
This is a great video that offers an example on getting into the “vortex” (happy, positive state of mind) about money and abundance.
It’s amazing to realize after you’ve done this type of exercise for a short period of time that it works FAST! All you have to do is keep improving your quality of thoughts about money and abundance, and money and abundance must start flowing in.
In Part I of this article, we discussed the ways energy blockages can hinder or limit our financial resources. We emphasized the futility of using the law of attraction to attract more money if you don’t first clear the blockages that prevent it from manifesting in your life.
Finally, we described the symptoms of such a blockage: feeling blocked or “stuck,” unable to move forward beyond a certain point, ineffectiveness of prosperity affirmations and visualizations, and constant frustration because “it’s not working.”
In order to identify and dissolve inner blockages, you need to answer three questions:
When most people learn about the law of attraction and awaken to their ability to use their thoughts and emotions to attract what they want, their thoughts inevitably turn to money. It’s something that many (if not most) of us want more of, and never seem to have enough of!
Money is necessary for survival in modern day society, but it also carries a lot more weight than that. Our financial resources can determine not only the quality of our everyday lives, but the level of enjoyment and freedom we experience in every aspect of our lives. Little money means little power, little freedom, and very limited options.
When it comes to abundance and prosperity, expectations are vitally important. The law of attraction teaches us that we tend to receive exactly what we expect in life. Why is this? How do expectations work with the law of attraction?
If you’ve studied the law of attraction at all, you know that your thoughts and emotions release an energetic frequency out to the Universe. Whatever is vibrating at this same frequency will be pulled into your reality.
If you emit low vibrations like anger, fear, or cynicism, you will attract corresponding experiences and events. If you emit high vibrations like joy, love, and passion, you will again attract corresponding experiences and events.
