It is not surprising that when most people discover that the Law of Attraction will awaken their thoughts and emotions to attract whatever they want in life, these will inevitably turn to money. Money - something that all (if not most) of us want, and for some, it seems that we can never get enough of it.
We cannot do without Money is the world as it is today. But Money is much more than that. How much money we have decides the quality of life we lead. It decides the kind of pleasures and enjoyment that we can have everyday. Without it, or a lack of it, will limit our choices and freedom.
It is said that 10% of the world's abundance can solve all the world's needs. But why is it that so many people still struggle, barely making ends meet?
The answer lies in Money - what it really is. Money is not just pieces of paper or collection of metal coins in your wallet... it actually represents the FLOW of energy through our lives. One fundamental we find in people who have a lack of money is that they also have a great lack in other areas of their lives. Whether that lack affects their relationships, health or inner peace, it is clear that there is a blockage somewhere.
So the first thing to understand before you can use the Law of Attraction to increase the flow of money is you life, is where are the blockages in your life and WHY are they there? Most people do not know, or skip over the importance of this step simply because they feel uncomfortable in confronting their blockages. To get around it, they would "bandage the wounds" of the blockages by focusing on prosperity affirmations and visualizations. They think that by convincing themselves by doing and saying the right things, the Law of Attraction can be persuaded to open the floodgates of money for them.
Do you think this will work? Of course not. What you must understand is that energy blockage always works hand in hand with the Law of Attraction. The frequency of our vibrations is affected by our beliefs and emotions. And when there are blockages, the Law of Vibration states that the person's vibrations are not where they need to be to attract what they really want. So all the affirmations and focus on money exercises that you do daily will come to naught. If the blockages that you refuse to acknowledge is not removed, money (energy) cannot flow easily. Like a choked water, you receive only a trickle of water instead of the gush of clean fresh water.
When do you know you are suffering from blockages. The signs are very clear - especially when you put in your all and find that you are still stuck in the same rut, whatever you try, you are blocked and unable to move forward. You do exactly what others are doing and yet, while they are rewarded, you get nothing. You try working harder but that is not the answer too. You get discouraged and want to give up!
Can you identify with that?
What do you do when you think there is energy blockage in your life. Find a quiet place or corner and examine yourself. What could be causing the blockage? Once you have made your list, work on ways to break down this blockage. The start is always the most difficult but once you get going, you will wish you had started earlier.
I will discuss 3 simple steps, in a future article, on how you can identify and break down energy blockages in your life.
In Part I, I talked about how energy blockages will hinder our search for more financial resources. There is no point trying to use the Law of Attraction to attract more money while all these blockages exists. So we need to first remove them or else we would not be able to manifest the Attraction Law in our lives. How do we know we are suffering from these obstructions? Symptoms include being stuck in a rut and not able to move beyond where you are at no matter how hard you work. And you find that all the Law of Attraction techniques and exercises you were thought just simply did not work no matter how much you tried.
You can identify and destroy the blockages that exists within you. And to do that, you need to answer three questions truthfully. You do not need to share them with me or anyone but consider carefully:
1) What aspects of my financial situation make me feel uncomfortable?
There could be many reasons. For some, it is the big pile of debts left unpaid; for others, it might be a lack of income; and yet for some others, it might be that you are simply to disorganized to handle your finances well. Ask yourself which are those situations you would usually try to avoid thinking about or looking at - those are the very areas of your life where there is a blockage. You need to give if full attention if you want to dissolve this blockage.
Once you are clear what aspects of your financial situation that makes you feel most uncomfortable, ask yourself:
2)Do these situations tell me more about the rest of my life?
Well, they say Money is the root of all evils. That's the subject for another day but more often than not, Money, or lack of it, is the cause of most problems. So money problems are NOT just about money! Money can serve as a mirror for passion, love, joy, purpose, courage, or any number of other qualities you may be resisting. Financial abundance or lack usually reveals identical abundance or lack in other areas of your life. Look at your job, your health, your relationships, your self-esteem (and anything else you can think of), and see if you have blockages there too. Take your time with this exercise, because it is absolutely mind-blowing once you "get it." Once you've discovered correlations between your financial abundance and the other areas of your life, ask yourself:
3)How can I increase the flow of energy to these areas?
This critical question deserves careful thought. Something is blocked because of neglect or stagnation which results in energy flow blockage. And this can be traced to an unresolved situation or development of bad habits that do not help. Like a clogged pipe where you get little or no water, so is it with energy!
Take action to clear the clog. Give it your full attention!
Let's look at a couple of examples:
Blockage 1: What made me most uncomfortable about my financial situation was that I did not earn enough money. Ok, it is not a bad paying job but when compared to my peers, I was definitely earning much less. I was happy with my job, except for the pay and have often thought about seeking a better paying job or starting my own business. But I kept holding back. Why? I found that my blockage was this inherent feeling that I did not feel that I deserve to earn more. I had that idea because I kept thinking that I am not as capable or talented as my peers. I discovered that poor self-worth was the blockage that was holding everything back!
Resolution 1: In order to clear the blockage, I worked on changing my belief that I did not deserve to earn more money. I worked at some intensive self-esteem exercises to learn how to value my contribuitions to the world. And through encouragement of my better half, I build up the courage to move towards something better.
Blockage 2: Now if you know me, you will know that I am one big messed up guy as far as financial records are concerned. My checkbook has never been balanced and I always am late paying my credit card bills and end up paying late fee fines (the banks love me) and all these created a major financial drain on my financial resources. I never seem to have enough but I knew that the situation would be better if I just could organize or manage it better!
Resolution 2: Perhaps you are like me, but not necessarily with your finances but in other areas like your time management. Or perhaps you can never seem to get your house in order - everything is so cluttered that you have difficulty locating what you need. I found that resolving disorganization is easy once you set your mind to devote a definite amount of time each day to the required tasks. Commit a time to balance that checkbook. Make a date with yourself to clean the wardrobe. All these takes time and effort but you will see results. And as you continue at purging away the blockages by getting better organized, you will notice clearly that there is a greater and easier flow of energy (and money) into and through your life.
Your situation might be completely different from mine, but you can follow the same steps to clear blockages in your life. To summarize, here are the 3 questions again:
1) Figure out what makes you most uncomfortable. 2) Identify correlations with the other areas of your life. 3) Take action to dissolve the blockages.
When you do this on a consistent basis, you will notice that energy (in the form of money, as well as other qualities) will flow through your life much more easily and you will now be able to use the Law of Attraction in a much more conscious way.
