The Magical Money Mind

I am currently receiving lots of marketing information from some great teachers in the world all about how to understand money and how to create more of it and what you 'must' do if you have some. I am quite certain that all of these programs have really valuable information and will be a great help for those who take them.
What I know about money is what I know about everything in the universe. It is energy. The currency of coins and notes are energy resonating at a particular level to create the appearance of something solid. Sitting behind that is the energy of abundance, which is driven by our thoughts and beliefs around money.
I once heard that there is enough money in the world for every man, woman and child to have $1m. The view was that even if this was distributed in that way, within 6 weeks it would all be back where it started from. Why would that be, surely everyone could use $1m? I'm sure you have heard about lottery winners who were broke in a matter of months or years, it's the same thing. If you have underlying beliefs in not deserving, money being the root of all evil, people with money are this or that, then you will struggle to get, keep or enjoy money.
Abundance is not the same as having money. Abundance and wealth are attitudes of mind. I consider myself to be abundant and wealthy beyond measure. Not because I have several million in the bank, but because I have vibrant health, great joy, friends and family who love and support me and I have a sufficient flow of money to meet all my basic needs and give me a pleasant standard of living.
In the same moment I am working towards creating more of all those things, but I am not attached to the outcome. I have also spent that last 18 years cleaning out my mental cupboard and gradually letting go of old thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve me.
A great coach by the name of Michael Neill asks this question, "What would you love to have if you didn't have to be upset about not getting it?"
Read that again. "What would you love to have if you didn't have to be upset about not getting it?"
We are conditioned, particularly in the western world, that we must go out hard to get stuff, and that we then identify with our stuff. Therefore the concept of not getting more stuff creates stress. What if you could just want what you want, but not have to get your knickers in a twist about achieving it?
When I was younger, about when the movie 'Pretty Woman' came out, I wanted to marry Richard Gere. It didn't mean that I was going to turn into a stalker, get stressed about it not happening, or actually even do anything about it. That was just what I wanted at that time. I know that is an easy one to dismiss (sorry Richard!), but take it up a level, what are you striving for that you could release the stress about? How could you change your thoughts about money, abundance and wealth.

Today I move into allowing. I let go of struggle and stress. I know that there is a good for me and that I deserve to have it. I am at peace and my life is great.
