By doing all of this I was able to viscerally experience the
aspects of money that were good feeling. I began to see that
focusing on the positive, good feeling side of the subject of
money is just as valid as focusing on the heavy, lack side of it.
We have a choice as to which aspects of money we give our
focus over to and the aspects that we choose are the ones
that will be drawn into our experience.

Unconditional love is being non resistant to what is. Jesus was
a teacher who spoke of loving your enemies. Debt, for example,
is perceived by many as the enemy, and don’t we usually try to
resist our enemies? But to be in a state of unconditional love
concerning debt you can’t be pushing against it. I, myself,
began to appreciate the credit card companies as those who
gave me freedom to buy what I wanted or needed, when
I wanted it. I also appreciated that they gave me unlimited
time to pay in full. With this new attitude, I went from feeling
the burden of debt to feeling enthusiasm to repay them for,
what I felt was, the generosity and freedom they had extended
to me. Beyond that, I took my attention from the subject almost
completely, paying what I decided I would pay monthly and
then not focusing on it any further. I came to understand that
having debt wasn’t a terrible thing after all nor was it a forever
thing. Debt was only an indicator showing me where I had been
putting the majority of my focus and attention concerning money
and lack, it inspired me to choose a new idea and a new focus.

By purposefully shifting my focus and seeing money and debt
through a lens of unconditional love, I was attempting to deliberately
change my vibration around those subjects. Over time my vibration
did, indeed, shift and evidences began to replicate those shifts of vibration.

“The land that you SEE, that will I give to you as an inheritance.
” What do you see?  Look in the direction of love, you’ll see the land
of plenty there, a land where Resource flows freely.
Now that is an inheritance worthy of you!

For the (Unconditional) Love of Money

There is nothing more spiritual than the free flow of Resource
running through our lives and that resource, naturally,
includes money. Most of us, however, tend to build barriers
that hinder that flow from moving freely and continuously
throughout our experience. To remove any barriers and allow
for the flow of  abundance, create an inner environment that is
in harmony with that abundance, one that is free of resistance,
an environment of unconditional love.

Unconditional love is allowing things the freedom to be as they
are with no pushing against, no trying to trying to fix, no trying
to control; love is non resistant. Unconditional love is looking
for the best in, seeing the best of and purposefully placing
your focus there.

For quite some time, the natural flow of money was blocked
within my experience so I decided that I would extend
unconditional love to the idea of money itself.  I began to look
for the best in and see the best of money. I practised
appreciating money; I appreciated its ascetic beauty,
I thought about the fun it inspires and the freedom it allows.
I even started having fun with the idea of money.

Inspired by a picture I saw, I imagined wrapping bundles
of money in brightly coloured bows and giving them to
friends – oh the whimsey of it all! I would purposely
reactivate feelings of plenty by remembering particular
times that I had spent money on things that I wanted,
not concerning myself with the price. I began to, mentally,
face in the direction of plenty of money and speak in the
direction of plenty money.

I learnt to tell the, sometimes subtle, difference between when
I was thinking of money from a place of lack or from a place
of possibility. I set out to achieve a familiarity with feeling
good about money by practising statements I felt no resistance
to, like, “I love to think well of money,” “it feels good to think well of money”,
“I like the idea of money being my friend”, “I want to feel good about
having lots of money”, “I want to feel good about spending money”,
“there is enough for all,” “resources increase in proportion to
the desires set forth.” I participated in talking in light, optimistic
and fun ways about money with people who were on that
wavelength.

Steps in the core belief process

1. Think of a particular problem, situation,
or area of your life you want to improve.
Describe it — take two or three minutes to think
about it or talk about it in general.

2. What emotions are you feeling?
Name the specific emotion, such as fear, anger, frustration, guilt, sadness….
(At the risk of making a broad generalization, I have found most women usually
do this very quickly, and sometimes men stumble around in their heads before
they can bring their attention down into their bodies and simply describe their feelings.)
Don’t get into any particular thoughts you’re having about it at this point, just pinpoint
the single word that describes the emotion.

3. What physical sensations are you feeling?
Explore your body, from your toes to the top of your head.
Is there tension somewhere? What’s going on in your stomach?
What is your breathing like?

4. What are you thinking about?
What tapes are running in your head? What conditioning or programming
can you identify? What negative thoughts, fears, or worries are you having?
Take a few minutes to describe your thoughts.

5. What is the worst thing that could happen in this situation?
Ask yourself, “What is my greatest fear in this situation?” If your greatest fear
came true, then what would be the worst thing that could happen?
If that happened, what would be the very worst thing that could possibly happen?

These questions bring your deepest fears to light.

6. What is the best thing that could happen?
What would you like to happen ideally? What is your ideal scene for this area of your life?

You may find this harder to express than your worst fears. If so, your fears may
have been dominating and overwhelming your vision of success. Maybe you have
been focusing more on the half of the glass that is empty than the half that is full in
your life. Keep the best things, the best possibilities, in mind.

7. What fear or limiting belief is keeping you from creating what
you want in this situation?
Once you’ve explored this, write your limiting or negative belief in one
short sentence, as simply and precisely as you can. If you have more than one,
write them all down. Put them in the form of a belief: I believe that I’m
inadequate…. I believe it’s hard to make money…. I believe my life is stressful and unhealthy at times….

8. Create an affirmation to counteract and correct the negative, limiting belief.
It should be short and simple and meaningful to you, in the present tense,
as if it’s already happening. I am enough…. I am now creating abundance
in my life…. I now live and achieve my goals in an easy and relaxed manner, a healthy and positive way….

Your affirmation is the opposite of your core belief, turning a negative,
limiting phrase into a positive, expansive one. Here are some examples:

Limiting belief: I don’t have enough time to do the things I want to do.
Affirmation: In an easy & relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way,
I have plenty of time to do the things I want to do.

Limiting belief:I have to struggle to survive.
Affirmation:I am creating total success in an easy and relaxed manner, a healthy and positive way.

Limiting belief: I’m under a lot of pressure at work; it’s unavoidable in my high-pressure job.
Affirmation: In an easy & relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way,
I now relax and enjoy myself at work, and accomplish everything easily.

Limiting belief: Money corrupts people.
Affirmation: In an easy & relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way,
the more money that comes into my life, the more power I have to do good
for myself, for others, and for the world.

Limiting belief:The world is a dangerous place.
Affirmation: In an easy & relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way,
I now live in a safe, wonderful world.

Limiting belief:It’s so hard to have a loving, ongoing relationship.
Affirmation: I now have a loving, ongoing relationship, in an easy and
relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way.

Limiting belief:I don’t have what it takes to succeed.
Affirmation: I have everything I need to create success as I choose to define it.
Or: I am now creating my success, in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way.

9. Say or write your affirmation repeatedly, over a period of several days.
Write your affirmation down and put it where you’ll see it often.
Repeat your affirmation silently to yourself, while relaxing.
Picture everything working out exactly as you want it to.

Keep repeating it until you feel you’ve absorbed it as a positive core belief.
If negative thoughts come up, write those thoughts on the back of the paper,
and then keep writing the affirmations on the front until it feels free of any emotional resistance.

That’s the entire core belief process. It has worked magic in my life.

An affirmation for your consideration that I found effective.

In You Can Heal Your Life Part 1 we talked
about becoming aware of your thoughts,
becoming the observer. In Part 2 we looked
at where a limiting belief came from and I
showed you a very powerful and simple
way to remove that limiting belief. Let’s
now fill it with a belief of your choice.

Affirmations are simply positive statements.
You’ve been cleaning out some of those beliefs
that no longer work for you so now fill
that space with words of your choice.

First you need to know that this is a habit like
anything else. I recommend doing it daily and
writing them all over the place so that you
submerge yourself in this new programming.
In the beginning your mind may resist it or
say “Yeah right, do you really think this is
going to work?”

Here’s a very powerful lesson I’ve learned from
Marc Allen. Tell yourself  – this is an experiment.
When your mind goes crazy say “Thank you for
sharing, this is an experiment and I’m testing
this out.” The, go back to your affirmation.

You mind was designed to protect you. There
is no sense in shutting in down or fighting with
it. Just tell it – “OK thanks for doing your job,
and I’m experimenting.”

Create your own affirmations. They can be as
simple as “I’m learning to love and accept myself
more and more each day”.

Here is one that I enjoy saying each day:

“In an easy and relaxed manner and in a
healthy and positive way my life is filled
with prosperity, peace, joy, laughter and
love . I assist others in perfect time for the
highest good of all. Miracles will follow miracles,
and wonders will never cease for all my endeavours
are for good.”

Write your affirmation out right now.

First let me say that we say affirmations over
and over every day without even realizing it.
An affirmation is something that you “affirm”.
The definition of affirm is :

1 a : validate, confirm b : to state positively <he affirmed his innocence>
2 : to assert (as a judgment or decree) as valid or confirmed
3 : to express dedication to <affirm life>
- Merriam-Webster Dictionary

From the moment you wake up until you fall
asleep you are constantly affirming something.
Question is, “What are you affirming?”

Most people’s affirmations go something like this:
“Why is life so hard?”, “How come there is never
enough money?”, “Why doesn’t somebody love me?”,
“Why is he/she so difficult to get along with?”,
“I feel sick, I hope it’s not cancer”, “He/She/It
really drives me crazy!”, “What’s wrong
with me?”, “Why can’t I get this?”, etc.

Those are all affirmations. They are probably
running on a tape recorder in your hear,
until you become aware of it.
Having the awareness of what tapes
are running in your mind puts you
at the point of conscious power.

Awareness is the first step. From there
you now have the power to chose and create
differently. Not that there is anything wrong
with those old tapes – it’s just one way to experience
life.

With the vibration of the planet coming up
so quickly right now, I find that more and more
people seem to have these old tapes coming up
for them. I compare it to having some mud at
the bottom of a glass. Once you start adding water
to the glass, the mud has nowhere to go but up and out.
That’s what I find is happening for many people – me too!!

This is why I believe affirmations are needed. Once you
remove the sludge keep it out and replace it with
different tapes that work for you. As long as you are living
in a body on this planet – i.e. you’re a human being -  you
are going to have some kind of head chatter. Why not
replace it with the head chatter that is going to empower
as opposed to limit you? If you do it might sound something
like this:

“Life is so easy!”, “All my needs are easily and effortlessly
provided for”, “I am so loved!”, “All my relationships work
for my highest good”, “Health and vitality is my birthright!”,
“I am whole and complete.”

Let me know what you think below.

Affirmations. Do they work? Are they needed?
Great questions. Here is my answer to the first
question. I’ll answer the second question  tomorrow.

Do they work? YES they do!
However, it all depends on you.
What does that mean?

If you are just repeating affirmations by rote
or they are someone else’s affirmations they are
really not yours. They’re not coming from you.
Affirmations don’t need to be a big deal. They’re
just a tool to train your self-talk into a higher
vibration. How? Let’s take a look.

I bet most of your head talk is something negative.
Here’s one of mine: “There is so much work to do
that I don’t even know where to start.”
The feeling that I experience when those words
run through my head is anxiety. I feel my throat
constrict. My breathing gets shallow and I feel
a heaviness just below my ribcage. Just writing
this is bringing those sensations up for me.
How about you?

I now have a choice. I can continue to let that
mental monologue run my day or I can say,
“Stop!” Take a deep breath.  Hold it, and then
release it slowly. I then ask myself, “What is the
belief behind this thought?” For me it’s “If I don’t
get everything done I won’t be successful”.

**Do this part now. What’s your internal monologue?
What’s the belief behind that monologue for you?

Then take it one step deeper. I now ask myself,
“Ok, if I’m not successful what is the worst case scenario that
can happen?’. My worst case scenario is that I will
not be able to support my family. That we will go bankrupt.
That everything will be taken away. That my children
will be homeless. That I’m lying and that I really can’t
help anyone. That all this spiritual growth stuff is just made
up and that as a healer I can’t help people heal.
Wow – how’s that for an underlying fear?

**What is your worst case scenario?
Is it similar to mine?

Now I ask myself, “What is the best case scenario?”
My best case scenario is that everything that I or
my family needs is provided for effortlessly. That I have
a successful business healing and assisting billions
of people all over the world. That I easily assist
to create a New Reality of peace, prosperity,
health and joy for all.
Ahhhhhh. That feels good.

**Now you  describe  your best case scenario.
Write it down.

I now take my best case scenario and write
my personal affirmations from it. I love how
Marc Allen has inspired me to phase it and
here it is:

In an easy and effortless manner and in a positive
and health way I am successful beyond my wildest
dreams. I am co-creating a Universal shift in perfect
time for the highest good of all. Miracles will follow
miracles and wonders will never cease for all my
endeavours are for good.

That’s my personal affirmation.
I write that out on several cards and keep it on my desk,
on my fridge, in my purse, in the washroom,
by my bedside, etc.

**Now you describe your personal affirmation.
Here’s a little template to help you out:

In an easy and effortless manner and in a positive
and health way I am  _________ (fill in your best case scenario)
in perfect time for the highest good of all.
Miracles will follow miracles and wonders will never
cease for all my endeavours are for good.

I say it in the morning, in the evening (when my
head is racing at bedtime) and
whenever I hear that limiting belief running
in my head. As I say it  I can feel the opening
of my throat, my breathing is fuller and
that heavy feeling in my gut lightens up.
Clarity and opportunities then open up
that I had never noticed before.

Your turn. Do it now. Send in your affirmations
by entering them  in the comments section below.
I’d love to hear them and pass them on to our
Masterpiece Life family.
