Being Loving

Being loving is something I used to think I was. I have realized this past year that there are lots of ways I am not loving.
I finally get what it truly means to love.
I am learning to do it sometimes and will keep working on it until I get it 100%.
Our world depends on it. I feel it is the most important thing for me to do. Perhaps, the only thing that matters.
It means I love you even when you hurt me or someone I love.
I forgive you and me when it seems we are on opposite sides. I let go of judging you and of judging myself.
I realize that when I disapprove of someone or something in my mind, it is really about me literally.
I only recently got that my disapproval hurts me. I used to think I was discriminating, and now I see the truth that I am not.
I get that we literally are one. That when I judge you, I am beating myself up.
When I rant and rave about something you did in my mind, I am really berating myself.
I feel that now when I do it and it hurts.
I feel the disapproving energy coming at me directly when I judge someone.
I now love myself no matter what.
I now love you no matter what.
I believe I create everything in my life.
That what I am reacting to is about me, not you.

Yes, I might decide to stay away from certain people or places because it makes me happier when do and I believe I have the right and the responsibility to be happy. But yet, I forgive. I love. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes I work very hard at it.

If we are going to make it, we have to get our oneness and start living the truth of it.
One world, no divisions,
differences are OK.
Divisions are not.
At least not for me.

Healing Ourselves and Our World Series

There is a series of free lectures going on now that I highly recommend you check out.  They are facilitated by Shifra Hendrie and go on into April.

The first of these live talks took place this week  with thousands of people all over the globe participating.  I was so enjoying the speakers  that I participated in three nights in a row of these 90 minute sessions.

The first speaker was Greg Bradon who has written a couple of my favorite books including Fractal Time, and the Science of Miracles.  I was very inspired by his talk and the other two speakers  this week . I felt energized and connected.  It feels  so positive and hopeful  in light of our increasing global uncertainty to be part of this wonderful program.

Now,  more than ever we all need to find ways to feel connected with like minded people and to ground ourselves more firmly to our individual and collective missions in this time of change on our planet.

You can participate in these live events by webcast or telephone.  The broadcasts are also available for a time to replay. If you prefer, you can also purchase the series and have them to listen to any time at your convenience.

If you are interested in learning more about this series, here is a link  to the quantumhealingandsoul.com site that has information about this series and a link to register.

I hope you will take advantage of these.  If you are here now reading my post while the series is going on,  perhaps there is a reason.

Love to you,

Debbie

How to get through when life gets hard

Flow Feels Good

When things are going well for me, I can feel the flow of my life.  I experience little things that seem to be more than coincidences every day.  They are statistically almost impossible to conceive that they could be random events.

You have almost certainly had these experiences.   Sometimes they pass us by in our day to day lives if we are not paying attention.  Often times,  they are a marvel and you notice.  It feels like a little nudge that you are going in the right direction.

It can be something as simple as a phone call, a billboard,  or book that catches you eye in response to an issue or need that you have in your current life.  One of my good friends last evening gave an example of receiving two important calls she needed to get yesterday.  One she received as she was leaving, and had to go back into her house for something just after the phone rang.  The second came just as she had pulled off the highway because she thought she was lost.  It turned out she was not. Just as she pulled over and stopped, her cell  phone rang.  Both these  calls were important in her day.  Coincidence?

These are the experiences that are such fun to share. Sometimes they can even leave us feeling special as our egos love to feel.  Like we are selected for special treats from divinity.  I love those moments and can really revel in them.

When times turn rough

For the past few months, my experiences  have been showing me something else. Those little moments are still there, yet there are bigger issues that are out of sync. Scary issues for me.  Ones that have caused me to rethink everything and make choices about what I stand for and what my life is truly about.

Suddenly, all at once,  I started not feeling well, my tenants stopped paying their rent,  I ended a job that was really not right for me.  Money, which had been flowing suddenly became a huge issue.  It stopped period.    My health which is very tied to my ability to create abundance in my mind was suddenly compromised. I did not feel well enough to even look for or think about a job or work. I wanted to just lie on the couch and not think about anything.

Tests did not show what was wrong. I did not feel depressed, although I do know what that feels like. I was experiencing bouts of grief that seemed to come from somewhere deep in the past, perhaps not even this lifetime that were very intense and bottomless.  Aching joints, fuzzy thinking, and exhaustion.  Lot of other strange symptoms I won’t go into here.

This sort of big bang experience all happened over a period of a month or two.  I was terrified, cried a lot, and at first, I  tried to figure it out constantly.  Needless to say, it did not work.  I started getting more and more scared, and in my worst moments, fearing  I was dying,  or at the least, would be homeless.    None of this thinking helped but it was a necessary and needed step in the process.  I was fighting, and struggling.

As I started to get a little equilibrium again,  I started to focus on being present again,  of noticing my breathing.  I realized how little I really trust the universe in spite of the fact that I say I do.  I started noticing how vulnerable I felt without all my roles to surround me and make me feel OK.   I started to notice that I actually felt OK when I just let go of all the parts of me that I thought made me and surrendered to the experience of what was going on.

I started to actually experience moments of feeling good.  It felt odd to suddenly feel OK in the midst of not knowing what would happen tomorrow,  if I would still be able to stay in my home, or if I would recover physically from my health issues.

As I became more aware of the presence that is there in every situation,  The me behind the me,  the I-am of me, I felt calm.  I realized that I am not what I do. I am more than a human being.  That I am not  woman,  cook, mother, friend, spiritual seeker, therapist, artist and all those things  I think of as me. That those are just roles I play here on earth. They are not me.

Me is spirit that inhabits this body while I am  here on earth.  Yet it is not the body itself.   It is something very hard to describe.  It is the one who observes all that is going on but is not that.  Consciousness.  Awareness.  The I -am of me can feel peaceful and OK even when the human me has lost it’s roles and is struggling to find equilibrium.

In fact, it can be a breakthrough moment of learning to be more present, to let go of ego a bit more, and to grow.  This is why so many of our spiritual teachings and traditions ask us to be thankful for all our experiences.  Sometimes the awful ones are those that are the most helpful on our path to greater joy, peace, and experiencing ourselves fully.

I have found with myself and the individuals I have worked with in therapy  that the  experiences we define as bad can actually be some of our most valuable.  The experiences  that leave you wondering what is going on, although painful can  result in the greatest transformation and joy.   They can be scary, they test you, and ask you to pull up your strength. They require you  to change and do something differently. To really examine you life. To surrender.

Sometimes they demand a total change of your image.  They can not be gotten through without changing your ways of coping. Changing who you think you are.

When you experience an illness, a job or career loss,  a serious accident, or loss of one or more of you roles as a human,  you have to find other ways to define yourself.   Your spirit is asking you to change and grow.  It is not a punishment and your not be singled out to suffer.  You are  being asked to examine, and perhaps change some things about how you view yourself, and the  circumstances of your life.

Suddenly, you are not the wife, husband, mother, healthy person, someone with a certain career, or whatever other labels you have attached to yourself.   In these situations, your sense of self is threatened.  Your ego does not know what to cling to for it’s indentity.  It fights back and tries to re-store the safety of the status quo.  It is all about survival.  Survival of the illusion that you think is you.

The great thing about that if you can survive it, is that it forces you to rethink who you are at your very core.  It requires you to trust a power greater than yourself.  To face you worst fears. To surrender.

For me,  it has been just  4 months since the bottom fell out of my life. I am  feeling better and more clear every day.  Things are not worked out yet, but I feel much more hopeful.

I have realized some things I need to let go of. Gradually, the messages have become clear it is time to lighten up.  I see how attached I am to my stuff. To my identity.  To my roles.   I have experienced financial miracles just when they were needed.  Some times it was a simple as  a bag of food my daughter handed me that a neighbor left when she took off for the winter.  Another time, it was a check coming just when I needed it the most.  A small trust fund of my mother left that got me through a few of those months.  I am filled with grattitude for all of that.

I am starting to feel a slight better physically now thanks to following little nudges and intuitions.  Just being able to get back to my writing here,  and my practice as a therapist is major progress for me.  The most likely explanation for my symptoms is  lyme disease following a tick bite this spring.   I don’t have a definitive diagnosis, but am responding so some herbs and other things that can help. Antibiotics helped for a bit and now I am trying other things.

I know not everyone is so lucky in having something that can be improved or helped.  Sometimes health issues can be something that will end our life, or at the very least cause us to decide if we will fight for it.  If we have lost a close family member or good friend, we can’t call them back.  Even in these terrible situations,  I believe it is possible to surrender to what is , and gradually  find a peace that we might not have had before.

Regardless of  circumstances,  surrendering to what is and being present will help us as we muddle  through. Surrender only comes after our ego puts up a fight.  I guess how big our struggle is up to us.

After my own personal experience, I have a few ideas I would like to share about  what helped me get through.

Here are some thoughts on ways to help get to greater peace

Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing throughout the day, and be aware of the self behind the stuff going on.  Try and be aware of the spaces between your thoughts as you do this on a regular basis.

Journal about what is going on. Allow yourself to really feel and experience feelings, body sensations.  Surrender to what is. Say yes to your grief, you sadness, anger, or whatever other feelings your having.  Let it be there. Make space for it.  Feel where it is in your body and release it.  It usually will be felt in your chest or stomach area.  It will pass once it is experienced fully.

Books on learning to be present can be helpful. I recommend Eckhart Tolle’s Book ” A New Earth”,  or Collin Tippins book ” Radical Forgiveness as a place to start.

Share with friends.  This is not a time to worry about being negative. Just let out your fears and concerns with those you trust.

Take care of the basics as much as you can. Rest,  good diet, being gentle with yourself if very important.  Really try to catch yourself as you beat yourself up several times a day and turn it around.  This is not your fault.

Love yourself, and love yourself more.

Ask for help.  Angels, divinity, spirit guides.  Ask for guidance.  People too.

Give thanks as much as you can.  Practice saying thank you for this problem even if you don’t like saying it .  And thank you for the good things that are happening with you or those you love.

Visualize what you want when you are able to be in a place of allowing positive hopeful feelings.  Feel those feelings of flow and life going well. Just don’ t use it to short circuit the letting go process.  It won’t work anyway as the garbage will block your efforts.  There is really no way of getting around the releasing and changing you need to do here if you want to feel better.

Are you as smart as a Tulip?

Where  I live it is mid winter.  We are well over a month past the winter solstice of December 21st.  This winter has been one of record snows with frequent  dumps of two feet or more.  Over the past few days there has been a slight warming trend and the sun suddenly feels a bit brighter than it has for the past few months.  As it warms the kitchen on the south side of my house,  it feels like a breath of heaven after such a cold dark long cold winter.  Winter, although far from over is starting to turn just ever so slightly.

If you are paying attention, you can sense that it is near the time when early bulbs will start there journey to the surface to emerge in glorious blooms and a riot of color.  Even though the emergence of Daffodils and Tulips is still several weeks away here in the North, I am aware of their awakening deep underneath the snow.

In the very early winter in November,  I was shopping and noticed one of our retailers had a lot of discount mark down bulbs at the end of the season. I ended up bringing home Tulips, and Daffodils in several types and colors.  I planted as many as I could right away as our ground here was not frozen yet, and we had no snow.  In the week I was doing this winter launched full force and I was unable to plant the rest. I stuck them in my refrigerator and planned to force them later on during the winter.

The other day, I pulled some  of the Tulips out of the package thinking I would plant them soon,  and noticed they were just starting to sprout with just a tiny fat green tip showing on the tulip bulbs. After resting quietly in my refrigerator for the past 15 weeks, something was telling the Tulips to start to grow.

The intelligence that plants have built into them amazes me in it’s simplicity.  What tells them it is time to sprout or time to emerge to the surface. Sun, warmth, or just a built in clock that signals them to grow.  They are always on time within a few weeks and put on a glorious display of beauty.

They understand their purpose,  and they perform with amazing energy and strength.

Contrast this to our species of humans.  We make things so complicated often and get our egos and minds so tied up in everything,  we often miss the whole point of something, get sidetracked, and have trouble figuring out any purpose for our lives.

It is a blessing bulbs do not have an ego like ours. Can you imagine.  The poor suffering things would be sitting there underneath the ground moaning and complaining about the lack of movement and feeling trapped by their circumstances in waiting, such as they are. They would totally miss the resting period, and the idea of just being and gaining strength. They would come out of the ground so exhausted from their mental battle with themselves and each other, that if they bloomed at all, it would be a pitiful display indeed.

Sitting down to meditate this morning,  an image of the tulips in my yard came into my mind. I could visualize them quietly resting, gaining strength, and just being.  Doing nothing and letting nature in it’s infinite intelligence direct them.  I sensed their tiny buds starting to just emerge. I could feel their patience and peace in waiting for the process to proceed.

I imagined myself a bulb under the earth just quietly resting there and gaining strength for whatever is to come.  I felt the importance of being and doing nothing in our path through life.  As I rested in this quiet place of being,  I felt peace, and strength. A feeling of surrender came over me.

Could we take a lesson from nature of the importance of being, of resting, and allowing ourselves to recharge and renew?  The seasons remind us that it is not only OK, but necessary to spend time in rest and quiet.  It is important to the success  of our efforts here on earth to rejuvinate, to go within, to listen to the still voice inside us that guides and directs our path.

Meditation Exercise

Sit comfortably in a chair, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths.  Visualize yourself as a bulb underneath the earth resting and waiting gently and quietly.   Feel yourself quietly waiting and knowing that all is well.  Let go of any tension or let your breathing in and out relax your body.

Allow your ego, your mind, and any of the worries of daily living to be set aside.  Know you can come back to them, but for now just set down all these human burdens and let them go.   Imagine yourself as a bulb under the earth quietly resting.

Allow yourself to just be open to any communication from your higher self.   Rest quietly for 5 minutes or more just being open and receptive and taking in nourishment from your spirit.  If thoughts start to come back into your mind, just let them float off like clouds.

After resting in this place a few minutes,  you might make a few notes in a journal of anything you want to remember from this experience.

Prayer

Divinity,

Thank you for your many blessings

for the plants and growing things that teach us how to live simply in our world

Thank you for  rest and renewal

for  wisdom

for the strength and nourishments that are provided to me

as I take the time to receive them

Thank you for clarity to see my path ahead.

Help me to know and follow my purpose

As easily and simply as the flowers.

Remind me of the importance of being.

That it is as necessary as water and food to me.

I thank you for allowing me to rest and renew in you

So that I might bloom in glory when the time is right.

Radical Forgiveness-Colin Tipping

I am reading the book ” Radical Forgiveness”  by Colin Tipping.

It is fascinating to me how books arrive in my life.   Books that are part of my spiritual path seem to come to me in weird ways sometimes.  They fall off a shelf in the bookstore, or I am 15 feet away from the rack and I focus on one.

I believe these books find us, or put another way, we attract them when we are ready to progress to them in our journey.

The Radical Forgiveness Book came into my life for almost free when I was listening to a webcast and he was the featured speaker this particular evening.  I almost did not listen as it was one of those evenings I was tired, and not wanting to do much.  I decided it would be pretty easy to just sit back and listen to someone talk for an hour.

I think of it as the spiritual version of tuning out to the television. I wish I could credit whoever was organizing this web cast, but I had been listening to so many around that time, I am sorry to say I cannot.

At the end of the talk which was very good by the way,  the first so many people to zip on over to his site could get a free book and pay only shipping.  Well,  loving a bargain,  I zoomed  over and signed up. It even required me to put in my bank account routing numbers to get the book. Something normally, I would never do.  I knew it would be OK, and a few days later,  I got the book in the post.

Radical Forgiveness is an amazing book.  I found it too be very powerful and the perfect next step in my personal growth and healing journey.  It is a book that you have to do, not just read in order to benefit from it’s message.

Colin teaches a process of forgiveness that goes far beyond our traditional concept of it.  It is based on the idea that if we create our lives, then we also create or co-create the situations that are traumatic to us or that annoy us the most.  That we do this in order to grow and progress on our path.

He makes the case that we often keep having the same types of issues and relationships in our lives until we can get the message of this particular pattern, whatever that might be.  That struck a cord with me. There are a few issues in my life, I have not been able to get beyond, no matter how much I work at it.   They pop up again and again in relationships, and in other areas of my life.

In his 13 step process,  he shows you how you can transform situations in your life, and stuck emotions that you might not even be aware of.  In doing the  step by step process in the book, you can transform the situation in really powerful ways.  The release and forgiveness just seem to come naturally, without trying if you allow the book to do it’s work.

I have started to use the process often, and it has really helped me to unhook from a lot of victim thinking,  I was not even aware of.  I have been able to see things from a much different perspective, especially my judgments towards others.

This book is about a real shift in thinking from being victim to being one with everything and everyone.  It is really about taking responsibility for everything in your life and accepting it is all perfect and in divine order.  I have  let go of some  very charged emotions from the past.  I am feeling very appreciative of this book as a help to continue this process of releasing.  I can feel much lighter after doing a session of Colin’s 13 steps in “Radical Forgiveness.”

This book will not be for everyone.  It is hard to think that misfortune, or earthquakes can be perfect.  It takes a lot, to see consider that someone having something terrible happen to them might be part of their chosen path.

If you can set aside any judgments, and allow yourself to do the 13 steps on areas in your life you are ready to transform,   I think you will find it a very powerful and useful book.  It is going to be part of my spiritual arsenal for some time to come.

If you want to visit Colin’s website, you can go to http://www.radicalforgiveness.com/

If you do decide to purchase the book, or if someone throws it in your car window onto the seat, please let me know your experience. I would really like to hear about it.

Spiritual Resources on the Web

Here is a rather interesting site I literally stumbled came across the other day you might enjoy visiting in your travels around the web.  I thought I would share it with you.
This site has lots of information about spiritual healing, angels,  healing energy, dreams, and lots of other topics.  It is quite metaphysical, and therefore not for everyone.

If you are open to angels, and metaphysical topics, I think you might  enjoy browsing around the site.

Grief-How To Keep It From Stopping Your Dreams

Grief is such a part of our world, especially these days.  No matter how positive you are grief will come up for you. It is a normal reaction to loss.

If your dog dies, a family member develops an illness, or dies, or if you experience a change  in yourself you consider a loss, then you will experience grief.  It is a normal human response to loss.

It also can run counter to the positive, and joyful presence we are trying to achieve in manifesting our dream life.

So, what do you do?  Not grieve.  Change your mindset, or think about something else.

Well it is true that putting the most positive take  you can on your grief is helpful,  it is not the whole story.  If you are grieving,  do what you can to make your story positive. You can tell yourself you will feel better in time. You can make your story as positive as you can.

It is very important though, that you don’t block the grief. It needs to be released and experienced.  If you don’t release it,  it will actually create more resistance than if  you do experience it and release it.

The average person if probably grieving to a degree all the time.  All our losses in life bring it up.  Even smaller things like not being able to do as much as  you did when you were 10 years younger, or breaking your favorite bowl can bring out grief in us.

There are a couple good ways to release grief.

• Using EFT- The emotional freedom technique of tapping is really useful to release grief.  Free information can be found about how to do this on my site and elsewhere.
• The Release Technique- check it out in the  resources tab- a great release method  for any emotions that you are experiencing. (Click on the resource link tab at top of page for more information)
• Journaling
• Therapy can sometimes be good- or just sharing with a good friend and allowing yourself sometime to let it out.  cry, shout , or whatever you need to do so  you can get resume with your joyful life sooner.
• Spending some quiet time and just let the feelings surface and be expressed.

It is often a misunderstood concept in law of attraction that negative emotions should not be felt and experienced.  If they are there, ignoring them will not help. In fact, it will slow you down even more.  Better to look at them, see what is there,  find ways to change your story to something more positive, and release the emotions that you need to. This will free you to be less resistive of the dreams that are waiting out there to come to you.

From Feeling Bad to Feeling Good.

The Downward Spiral Away From Your Dream

How many times when you are trying to manifest your dreams, do you find yourself in a negative spiral in spite of everything you know about law of attraction.  It seems it takes a constant effort to be going down the road of getting closer to what you are wanting, instead of towards what you don’t.  I have been working on law of attraction for a long time. I have attracted some amazing things into my life. Yet, I still  find myself often in a downward spiral of thoughts even now.

I often don’t even realize that I am being negative. It still feels so normal to me.  My mind is rolling along criticizing someone or something- kind of going on it’s own.  I don’t feel great for sure. I have gotten off track.

Recognizing Where You Are.

When I recognize  I am moving away from manifesting my dreams,  I am grateful.   Because, then I can turn it around.

That is the first step. Becoming aware that you are doing it.  I find that in order to have this awareness,  I need to surround my self with ideas often that remind me of how I want to be thinking and feeling.  This really helps to undo years of programming of being the other way.  You  know, the life sucks and then.. stuff most of us grew up on.

Helpful Resources To Stay On Track

Some of the daily inspirations  I use are books, and CDs, and inspirational quotes.  I will give you some links at the bottom of the page for some of my favorites.

I try to listen to or read something on law of attraction every day. This reminds me of  the direction I want to be heading in, and often it is enough to turn things around for me.

Once you recognize your direction is off, here are some things that might help.

Find a thought that feels a bit better.  Don’t try to go from suicidal to joy. It won’t work.  Do find a thought that feels a step or two better. For example, the other day I was worried about a loss of income in a certain area and what would I do.  I started worrying  about what could happen.  Fear stepped in.  I had to consciously work at finding some better thoughts. I had to remind myself that I had job skills I could use if I needed to, and that they could fill in until things got back on track. I had to also remind myself that about other resources I have  that could help the situation.  I felt better after doing this. This is how you know. You will feel some relief, and a bit  better.  Your panic will go to mild anxiety, for example.  You will have some relief.  From here, you can keep looking for better and better thoughts.

Thoughts  of appreciation are also great for this.  Think of at least 10 or more things to be grateful for.  Spend a whole day being grateful for things.  Express gratitude even for situations that don’t feel that great .  Being grateful really helps turn things around. Appreciate whatever you can find to.  If you can’t think of something, make it up.

The third and very powerful thing to do is to turn your story around.  Listen to your mental story. The one that is going through your head. The not so good one. Start from what you don’t want,  decide what you do. Start telling this story in your head.  Act as if it is true.   You will know by how you feel, which story is the one you want to tell.  When you tell the negative story, you will feel it in your energy.  When you turn it around, you will smile and immediately feel better.  Don’t worry if the story is not true. It will be if  you keep telling it.

Have fun with this.

Here are the resources I promised.

Abraham Hicks website daily quotes, CDs, and books.- sign up for their free  daily email quotes.  View one of their free short video clips  Abraham Hicks

Listen daily to a CD or read from something like  ” The Release Technique “  Not a freebie but very worth it.  The best.  You can access information about this through my resource section.

Hay House Radio-Listen to one of their programs.   The link for that is also in the resource section.  A lot of their material  is free.

Until next time,

Debbie

The Focus Wheel- How It Works

If you follow Abraham’s teachings as channeled through  Esther Hicks, you might have heard of the focus wheel.

The focus wheel is a great way to get back on track when you are in a feel bad place.  It is also a good way to get into what Abraham calls the Vortex. There is a lot floating around right now about the vortex.  It is getting in the flow.  When things feel good and you do, you are in the flow most likely.

I have been on several forums lately where I have heard the vortex mentioned. It seems to becoming a slang term for those of us who are tuned into this stuff.

I am in the vortex.  I am getting into my vortex.  I am working from the vortex.  All a way of saying I am in the flow, and I feel good.

I found this video on u-tube that explains the focus wheel and how to use it.

There is also a link there to get a free focus wheel worksheet that you can use.

Rather than try to explain it, I will put the u-tube link here.

Abundance-Some thoughts About The Flow Of Money

Money

This post is about something I was thinking of as I was driving to the stores today to Christmas shop.  Like a lot of us, I do some of my best thinking in the car.  I guess when you read this,  you will be the judge of whether this might have been an example of best thinking, or just my monkey mind rambling on.

I was having a conversation in my mind about currency, and the law of attraction. You know, the green stuff.  I was thinking about something I have read a lot by several law of attraction guru’s that goes like this.

The concept  that money is to be used, and not saved when you are following manifesting or attracting principles is what was on my mind.  That in using your money when you receive it,  more will flow to you. It is a way of saying to the universe that you trust the money to keep coming.  You will allow it to be used,  and passed on by you.  You acknowledge that the money does not belong to you,  yet you have been given it to use by the universe.

This goes against all the common wisdom in our culture to save and prepare for the future. To put aside as much as you can for retirement, and  to accumulate it as wealth is what most people would like to do with money.

Sometimes when I think of money, my mind glazes over.  Today I was thinking about it in an abstract way.   I am sure if an math wizard read what I am about to say and took it  literally, he or she might  think I am off my rocker.  Yet, I think I am really on to something about money flowing, and the  whys of  not  hanging  on to it.

I was thinking of how money is a combination of the amount, and the speed of the flow.  If you have a certain amount of money- lets say $1000.00,  and you save it you actually have less in a sense than when that money is flowing fast from one person to another.

For example, lets say that we have 10 people and  $1000.00 between them.  Person 1 is given the whole $1000.00.  He  decides to stick it under his mattress because he is worried he might lose his job, and not have any money to get what he needs.  Where does this leave persons 2 through 10. With nothing.

In the second situation, lets say person 1 gets the entire $1000.00 as as in the first example.  This time though  he goes right out that very day and starts spending it.  He gets  something person 2 made for $200.00,  gives $300.00 to person 3 for a debt he owes,  and he then distributes the rest among most of the other people for services and goods. .  He spends all the rest within  a few days.  Perhaps he even just gives some of it away to one or more of the 10 people who needed something.

Then the other people do the same. They pass it right on.  They don’t hold on to it, and they keep it going around. It seems to me, the faster the money circulates the more there is for everyone.  As long as no one gets greedy, or fearful, it continues to work.

So the amount of money available is the actual amount of money times the speed of flow. If the money circulated 10 times around in a week it would be 10,000.00 that was spent or payed out.  If it stayed with person 1 it would remain just the original $1000.00 and no more. If it was circulated 20 times in that week, it would be $20,000.00 spent.

In example one- what did the 10 people have- nothing. One person had the money and what was he getting for it.   He  really had no security. He will continue to worry that someone will find the money, he will be robbed, become ill.  What does the saving really get him except worry. Nothing.  He  really he had nothing, just like the others.

In example two-what did the 10 people have. They had food, goods, services, and it would continue on as long as the money kept circulating around. And the faster it flowed, the more they could have and buy with it.

I am not suggesting that we don’t save any money.  Most people would want to save a little of all they have.   Yet, by spending and using the majority of it as it flows to us, we are helping lots of other people.  We are not worrying about where tomorrows money will come from. We are just trusting it will come. And in the process of helping, we get material things, food, our cars repaired, and good feelings if we are gifting it.

The more we fear and hoard, the less there is for everyone. The more we trust and flow with it, the more there is for everyone.

Think about it. No more guilt about spending money.  You are helping lots of people have more by passing it on to them.

What are your thoughts about this?
