Attracting Financial Abundance Workshop

Oxygen. Money. When you are in need of oxygen... or in need of money... nothing else is a good substitute.

For humans to survive and thrive, an abundant supply of oxygen is critical. The same goes for money.

People whose breathing is well-balanced have a rhythm around their use of oxygen: easy in, easy out. Stress-free-breathing. Worry-free-breathing.

Of course, many of us today have shallow, constricted breathing. The stresses in our lives... our worries, fears, doubts, and painful memories... act to keep us from breathing deeply with an easy in, easy out rhythm. Self-limiting beliefs and self-criticisms weight heavily on our chests... and our hearts.

Stress clearly affects our breathing. Relieve the stress, and we will naturally breathe easier and use oxygen more effectively. Yet, it's harder for us to perceive the correlation between our stressed-out attitudes and fears about money and how those thought patterns constrict the flow of abundant financial energy. After all, don't we all know some seriously stressed-out, whacked-out "rich" people? Just look at many of our movie stars!

That is why from an energy perspective, we must look at two different aspects:

1) Blocks and stresses to the FLOW of financial energy. (Getting Money)

2) Rules and resistances to FEELING safe, relaxed, and grateful. (Enjoying Money)

And those are the aspects covered in the Attracting Financial Abundance Workshop that is a part of the Thriving Now Team. First my co-host Cathy Vartuli and I focus on relieving worries, stresses, limiting beliefs, and fears around money that block its flow to us (and through us). Then we practice the skill of living daily life with an Attitude of Abundance so we can thoroughly enjoy what we have now... as well as ALL we intend to attract in the weeks and months to come.

We also encourage the use of Carol Look's book Attracting Abundance with EFT as a companion self-study guide. You can read more about this outstanding EFT book (now available in its expanded second edition as an e-book with MP3 audios or as a 219-page paperback) at the links below.

- Trauma: Powerless over something that APPEARS life threatening.

- Primitive brain: is often good at dealing with immediate life-threatening problems where you must react and not think. It developed in times when there were life threatening dangers all around. Tree falling on you? Move quickly! Lots of adrenaline and full out effort which can feel like panic. The problem is, the primitive brain treats most threats as immediately life threatening. And that can feel overwhelming. Running as fast as you can in full out panic is NOT going to help you deal with the stock market, your 401K, or your job.
