Law Of Attraction: Money And Flow

I've listened to Abraham tapes for over twelve years now. Before that, I worked with Gay and Katie Hendricks for years using their Quantum Therapy practices designed to release unconscious blocks to abundance and joy in every area of life. I've watched "The Secret." And now, since starting this blog last month and wanting to find out what's out there on this subject, I'm discovering whole blogs that focus on how to create money with the Law Of Attraction. As a student of Life, I am curious about how others use LOA, interpret it, incorporate it on a day to day basis. These reflections and mirrors are some of the ways I use to learn about myself.

I guess I've been using Law Of Attraction to do just that- create money. I created a livelihood for myself that "shouldn't" have worked out for me for a variety of reasons. But when I look more deeply as to how I've used Law Of Attraction as it pertains to money, I think I've been using it backwards from how I'm hearing it used these days (which doesn's surprise me in the least, because I do most things backwards).

Money is a symbolic expression of energy. We assign arbitrary value to things and jobs based on a number of factors having to do with economics and the belief systems that created them. I don't care to waste much space on here talking about them right now. To me, our world economy is all illusion, a co-creation that we continue to support and perpetuate.* And if you don't believe that, go learn how the really really beyond rich people use money. It's surreal...but I digress....

My Life Intention is to be connected to Inner Source, be connected to joy, love, happiness and flow, The All. It is everything for me and has been at the base of everything I have done my whole life. Money has been more of a barometer for me, an energetic measure of how I was doing internally with with this intention. Money is one tangible expression of my vibration in all things rather than the reason for lining my energy up.

What's important to me is not to be rich just for the sake of being rich. Or that money isn't flowing so that means I'm poor and can't buy a designer handbag. It's that IF having money is important to me and if I don't have the amount I want, what is this telling me about myself, my relationship with my higher self and my connection to The All? Where am I not feeling worthy? Why would I create lack....what are those beliefs? Why would I hold myself back from the life I want and envision? What am I afraid of?

I know that Abraham talks about not having to understand all this stuff, not having to know the why's of things to change. I also know I am who I am, and part of how I soothe and realign myself is by conscious self talk to remind myself that I don't have to hold onto a particular belief because it's not true. For me, and only me, bringing those beliefs into the light helps me let them go and believe something new. If I don't deal with the unconscious "stuff" I'm not starting "where I am." I'm just putting a smile on my face and pushing all that unconscious stuff down. If I've learned anything in the practical application of LOA and watching my outer world responses to my inner world, it's that when I finally and fully embrace where I am right now, I move through this manifestation to what's on the other side.

I've watched money come and go repeatedly over these years. I can say with certainty that every time I get afraid and worry, fret, or question life and myself, my financial situation reflects that back. Every time I've made a quantum leap in trusting that all is well, no matter what it looks like on the outside, my financial situation reflects that back to me in unexpected, magical ways.

So I continue to look at money as a Teacher for me, something which informs me of my energetic alignment with my Higher Self, letting me know when and where I want to trust more. No judgment-- it just is what it is. In the end, through the different cycles, I have learned that if I discover what it is that holds me back from everything I want and work it through, return to trust in life's ebbs and flows, that I can learn to feel OK again, even though nothing has changed in my outer world. I let go, bask and give thanks for the abundance I know is mine, the abundance that is right in front of me, if even temporarily forgotten.

*As a side note to be explored some day- what will our world look like when we as humans shift and embrace abundance more as our dominant worldview rather than the lack and scarcity our economies are based on now?
