Today my blog is about prosperity consciousness and ways to connect with it, and about how we set up our own realities and limitations. I’ll talk to you about the subject of money.
Now the Metaphysical meaning of money is as follows: Money is a medium of exchange and a measurement of value. It is the materialisation of spiritual substance.
Money is related to the first or root chakra, the red muladhara energy centre, located at the base of your spine. It has to do with your sense of security, home, and safety.
Julie Peters in Spirituality and Health Magazine tells us that Money is a little like sex: we think about it frequently but rarely talk about it in healthy, open ways.
Now I must admit that I used to think about sex quite a bit when I was younger, but not so much anymore. I guess it must be andropause – the male equivalent to menopause and related to a drop in testosterone. Don’t believe that it’s a real thing? Just google it.
But I digress.
Julie goes on to say: “Many of us have a scarcity mindset when it comes to money. There’s never enough, and when we think about our bank accounts, we do not feel safe—even when, objectively, there is enough, and we are in no danger.” “Money anxiety has been passed down through the generations, and much of what we’re feeling and thinking about, when it comes to the spiritual meaning of money, isn’t even from our own lifetime.” Make sense? Yeah!
Want to hear some bad dad jokes about Money? Good! Here goes:
If money actually started growing on trees, what season would become everyone’s favourite? Fall.
When does it start raining money? When there’s a change in the weather.
Why is money also called dough? Well, because every person kneads it.
How much money did the skunk have? It only had one scent.
Anyway – A few months ago I was looking through an issue of Spirituality and Health, a magazine that I have subscribed to for some 10 years or so, and an ad for a neat book just jumped out at me. Has something like that ever happened to you? Interesting, eh? There were piles of ads in that magazine, but that particular one hit my eye, and my soul. So, I immediately signed into my Amazon Prime account [they are getting a free plug here] and ordered the book.
It was by Esra B. Ogut. She’s Swedish, lives in Hawaii and is an author and transformational coach. It was called Money Does Grow on Trees. The Myths We Create and Live By. Today’s blog is partially based on her book.
When I was a kid, I recall my parents telling me that money does not grow on trees. I’m pretty sure I told my two daughters the same thing as they were growing up. Maybe you did as well. I remember them thinking that all we needed to do was go to a bank or an ATM and we could take out as much cash as we wanted. Like a magic money machine!
They were so disappointed when they realised that it really did not work that way. I had to put currency in to the bank before I could get any out. And I could not take out anymore than I had put in, unless I was borrowing it of course.
Then there was that time when I received an excited call from my oldest daughter telling me that we had just won a million dollars. She told me that when she had checked the mail that day there was a letter announcing that we were big winners. Millionaires! I asked her if it was something from a company called Publisher’s Clearing House. Some of you may remember it. Was it Ed McMahon who supposedly showed up at your house with a huge check? Anyway, she said yes.
Another major disappointment for her and her sister when I explained to them that it was a marketing ploy from a company trying to sell us magazines. Money does not come that easily I told them. It does not grow on trees!
So, when I read the title of Esra’s book I seriously questioned the premise, that money does grow on trees, even though I have long thought of myself as a spiritual person living in abundance, being financially prosperous.
The overall point of the book is this: Our unconscious belief systems create our realities. By releasing our limiting beliefs, we can turn our lives around and find money on trees. Our reality is simply a reflection of our individually held beliefs being mirrored back at us.
Now, doesn’t that sound familiar? Thoughts become things. We become what we think about all day long. We attract what we focus on. We create our own reality. It’s the Law of Attraction isn’t it?
