11 Steps To Financial Freedom: Understanding The Energy Of Money

It took me a long time to realize that money couldn't buy me love. I was in deep pain for many years because the man I thought I loved made a comment that became toxic inside me. He said, "You can't be spiritual and have money."

At the time, I owned a large condo in Notting Hill, London now worth $1,000,000+, a Jaguar XJS V12 along with a designer wardrobe. My job was organizing cool parties and hanging out with super models and A-list stars, it didn't feel like work at all.

My ex-boyfriend was broke on unemployment benefit and I began feeling guilty every time I bought something. I began paying for his life yet that made things worse.

He said he felt worthless however he kept asking me for money and I kept giving it to him until I had no more.

For years, I had such low self esteem and I didn't trust myself to be responsible with money.

Here are 10 steps to boost your financial flow now.

# 1 Money is paper. Take a dollar bill from your wallet and find a quiet place to sit. Now hold it in your hands and really look at it and feel it. Do this for a couple of minutes.

# 2 Write down your insights. Get a blank piece of paper and draw a line down the middle of the page. On the left side write the heading, "My Money Beliefs" and on the right, "The Truth About Money."

# 3 Evaluate your finances. How much money do you have in your bank account? Do you have the amount you want? Are you in debt? If yes, are you aware why you got in debt?

# 4 Money is energy. A dollar bill in your hands is a piece of paper with images printed on it. It is the way energy is exchanged to have your needs met: a roof over your head, food in your stomach, clothes on your back.

# 5 Money has no power over you. The next time you check your bank balance, notice how you feel. Do you ignore the sum staring back at you? Is it enough? Do you get a warm fuzzy feeling inside? Or, do you feel like a blanket of lead has been thrown over your head?

# 6 Stop comparing yourself to your bank balance. As long as you associate yourself with the amount of money you have, you'll block yourself from being, doing and having more of what you love.

#7 It's worth what its worth to you. As a child my father took me to art galleries every weekend. One day at a very exclusive London gallery I noticed a canvas ten-foot square painted all white. "Daddy, I could paint that," I said. "Yes darling, I'm sure you can but could you be paid $200,000.00 for it?"

# 8 Your self-esteem makes your rich. If you want to increase your bank balance, you have to appreciate a quality that already exists within you.

# 9 Resentment of others success is toxic. A talented singer was bitter for struggling through a grueling tour for no pay and said, "It's not fair that Britney Spears makes millions of dollars and she's not nearly as talented as me." As she said it, I saw her aura turn from grey to black. Watch your thoughts!

# 10 Be grateful for what you already have. When you nag and complain about not having what you want or enough of it, your energy field looses its magnetism to abundance. Once you move through the initial pain of feeling you don't have enough and recognizing the prosperity of you. All the things you want will flow to you effortlessly.

#11 Believe you can have all you want. If a voice in your head says "Things don't flow to me effortlessly." Acknowledge the belief, then release it. If I can overcome being broken and in debt, you can definitely do it to.
