If you REALLY want to blow the lid off your potential to create wealth, start by changing your relationship with Money. Turn your Money Monster of scarcity (doesn't let you be/do/have what you want) into your "Money Honey". Imagine money as a human being, and make your money someone worthy of your deepest, romantic admiration.

There's a big difference between making a good living and enjoying a good life. You demonstrate respect and appreciation for money the same way you would anything else of value in your life, be it an heirloom rug, an expensive hand tool, a close friend, or cash in hand. If you want it to last, you've got to take care of it. Throw it around carelessly or ignore it completely and guess what's going to happen?
Your current financial situation is a direct reflection of your inner relationship with Money. If you don’t like your finances, something needs to change in your relationship. This is where Alchemy comes in.
Christy Whitman, Founder, Quantum Success Coaching Academy tells us: These four steps are important to learn and implement, because they allow you to take your power back and step into being a deliberate creator.
Congratulations on writing your first book! And you want to sell it. Here's what you need to do. 1) Write a book proposal. Seems counterintuitive, doesn't it? You already have a book why write a proposal? This is what agents and publishers want to see. A book proposal gives a summary, an outline of each chapter, and A MARKETING PLAN. It's up to you to sell books, not your publisher. Who's your market, how big is it, how are you going to get in front of them, etc.
One of the most powerful ways to transform your mind and body is something I learned four decades ago from the classic self-help book, The Magic of Believing, written in 1948 by Claude Bristol. Itâs called The Mirror Technique. Iâll explain the basic method to you, and then give you my breakthrough hi-tech add-on to it. With this new combined and upgraded approach, youâll feel like you have superhuman powers. Imagine what you would aim for if you had the power of a supe
Want to sell a meditatio CD? Here's what you need to know: First record it. This is the piece that trips people up the first. Recording it on a professional mic is best. You MUST lay down some background music to fill the empty spaces. If you don't have access to a sound studio,Have someone read your bio as an introduction, (but don't let it sound like reading), or get one of your fans to rave about you. Get fabulous design work for the disk and jewel case. People DO judge a product by its cover.
You don’t have to call yourself a magician, mystic, psychic, priestess or wiccan to be magical. Every wish, prayer, business plan, and affirmation carries magic. The question is, how do you get better at making things happen? How do you increase your experience of ease flow and synchronicity? My mother introduced me to my awareness of magic. No one casts a circle or leads a ritual like she can!
Your emotions and feelings protect us, and give our lives richness. If emotions become overwhelming they can also be the cause of undue stress, and erratic behavior. Jou aling can help balance and regulate your emotions and feel more comfortable and directed in your emotional life. Every day ...
“When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true” The Alchemist, by Paolo Coehlo I’ve been thinking a lot about synchronicity, about that intersection between saying “I want this” and seeing it show up. I see this happen over and over again with clients: checks and jobs and gifts appear hours after out session. This is Magic. Manifestation is what you create with your own hands.
Remember the silly telephone game we all used to play: secretly pass a phrase around a circle by whispering into the ear next to you and see if it came around correctly? I don't know about you, but I never heard a phrase survive that gauntlet. The more members of the circle, the more the phrase was butchered. Remember when the last person in the circle said the phrase out loud and everyone gasped, "WHHHAAATTT?" shocked, amazed and confounded at what "came out" of the circle? In many respects our own history, as well as our collective history is the same. We remember what we want to.
The secret to getting is having.
Most often when people use gratitude to attract abundance, they focus on a general feeling of gratitude â about anything â because just feeling a sense of gratitude immediately brings them into energetic alignment with increased abundance. This is a very effective way to use the essence of gratitude, but itâs not the only way. Today weâre going to explore another way that is even more specific to the outcomes and experiences you wish to create in your life. What exact
PROTECT YOUR ENERGIES When you start to raise your energy vibration, you tend to become more sensitive to negative energies around you, and can often find yourself taking on the negative energies of others or of situations around you. Have you ever felt really up, and positive, full of ...
Personal Growth vs. Transformationr The model of “personal growth” has been consistent throughout the “empowerment” age: find out what’s wrong, and fix it. Its proponents work to understand and heal the past to create a different future. The idea is that over time your true and authentic being will emerge and take hold. Progress is slow but steady if the plan is followed consistently. All that’s needed to succeed are understanding and discipline. Over time, heath, wealth, and fulfillment will become part of your life.r
One of my favorite quotes is the famous line spoken by Napoleon Hill in Think & Grow Rich: "What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve." Sounds good doesn't it? When our minds accept that something is true, a belief, then our mind sets in motion any and all events to make ...
According to Wallace Wattles, in his popular wealth treatise called the Science of Getting Rich, said that, “There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.” It is true. Those who make wealth know that it comes about by application of simple rules and princ
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” These words, written by Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, are as true today as they were in the 6th century BC. Every undertaking –long or short, simple or complex – starts with action. But what is it that inspires us to get into action and take that all-important first step?
Does the idea of attracting abundance, having all you want and more sound great? You wouldn't mind having abundance in your life about now, would you? Who wouldn't! Unfortunately, I would venture to say that most people think that abundance is for the rich, the few, and the elite. It is not that we don't want abundance in our life. It is simply that abundance often seems foreign and unattainable. The sad truth is that most people simply don't see abundance as a possibility fo
There’s an old story about a farmer who is working feverishly to chop down a tree with his axe. A friend comes to pay him a visit and asks the farmer what he is doing. “What does it look like I’m doing?” comes his impatient reply. “I’m chopping down this tree!” Noticing the heat of the day and the sweat upon the farmer’s brow, the friend asks how long he’s been at it. “Five hours,” says the farmer, “And I’m beat.” The friend then suggests to the farmer that a break might do him some good, and that while he is resting he could take a few minutes to sharpen his axe.
All creation begins with a vision. It begins by seeing – literally or symbolically – some greater possibility for your life than you previously believed was possible. Whether it comes about as an idea, inkling, a glimpse, or a three-dimensional Technicolor picture you see in your mind’s eye – vision is what makes change possible. It’s what opens up the potential to create a new future, and gives us the inspiration to keep moving forward in that future.
Do you ever wander what your true meaning in life is? What are you meant to do and where are you taking your life? When you think about these things and do your best to work through and slice your way through issues of life and become more successful no matter what, you are going to feel better and be better at anything that you set your mind to accomplish.r
You Can Consciously Shift Your Personal Energy Field Right Now! Every single day offers a fresh, clean, blank slate on which we can create whatever we choose. Did you wake up feeling excited about your day, or did you wake up moaning and groaning (internally and exte ally) about the challenges that you expected to face at every turn once you got out of bed? Do you have a genuine desire to change the circumstances of your life but wonder where to begin?
My passion is to show folks that everything is energy. You are energy--your body, your thoughts--everything around you is energy. Of course money is energy also--a different form of energy. In learning that everything is energy, we must come to see that in our relationship to any energy we are using is either Power or force. To illuminate the difference betwee Power and force, I have a true story for you: Justin is 39.
As a Law of Attraction coach, it’s rare that I ask people to deliberately conjure negative feelings, but today is an exception. I was sitting on an airplane yesterday on my way back from a trip, along with a fellow passenger who was very clearly having one of “those” days. I could go into detail, but there is really no need; we've all been there – especially when traveling, and especially when traveling with young kids. Even when he wasn't complaining to his wife, annoyance seemed to radiate from this man and continued throughout the entire five hour flight.
“How can I attract more love in my life?” This is a questio I’ve been asked a lot recently – from coaching clients who are looking for their soulmates, and from a good friend whose recent divorce left a void in what used to be a very active social life. As I thought about the question as it relates to both of these situations, I remembered a coffee mug that sat on my desk for years, which I used as a pen and pencil holder.
The informatio I give you today is of some importance. We are entering the stage of Consciousness. The transformation of the global consciousness already started. More and more people like you are looking for the truth. This transformation is happening in you. But be aware that every development means farewell or even a loss as well. As we do not want to release, what we know, it is usually a painful experience. Learn that you can only receive what you want when you made space for it in any aspect of life. Get rid of what does not serve you anymore.
The TOP 10 Limiting Beliefs and how to Clear them. Most of our beliefs about ourselves, how the world works and our deservedness of great success (or not) were acquired from our experiences as children, and many of those beliefs still run our lives as adults. Quite a few of them no longer ...
Creating order out of chaos requires power and he who wields such power is a genius he will conquer obstacles and obtain anything he wants in this life without violating the rights of others.This power and authority has been discovered by men and women of destiny, who refuse to just make a living but rather design their own lifestyles.

LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES Our lives are important! We make a difference, whether we’re aware of it or not! We have the capability to not only affect our own lives, but the lives of those we encounter each and every day. Are you aware of the limitless nature of your spirit?
Money: Everyone has an opinion, definition, and even a certain feeling as it relates to this one word. Some may feel good when they hear that word, whereas others, most in fact, may feel bad. The reason we feel good is that we have a good relationship with money. The reason we feel bad is that we have a negative relationship with money. How did we learn about money? Our parents, society, friends, media, and of course, our own personal experience with the “green stuff.”
I know that sounds like a strange question. However, we sometimes get in awful habits and the thoughts take over. If we are not vigilant, the worry thoughts think themselves—again and again. Are you thinking, "Well, who wouldn't like to stop worrying about money? Duh!" Is that thought followed up by, "But it is impossible—we have to worry about money." In my speaking and workshops, I am teaching folks about the three parts of Money IQ.
I am not a great photographer. I am okay with that fact, knowing that I am good at many other things. You might not be a great photographer either, but I bet you know that you can't fix the focus of the picture after the picture is taken. You are that astute, right? I have one of those "point and shoot" jobbies. (That might not be the technical term for automatic camera, but I think it is close.) Okay, confession: I actually have two of them--um, make that three--because my pictures are so bad that my husband kept buying me new cameras, hoping that would fix the problem!
Think of a coin. It seems to have a paradoxical nature to it: two sides, either heads or tails—or it can be viewed as a circle, 360 degrees. What if we were to look at the economic situation, not from heads or tails, but from the circle perspective—a perspective that has no sides? The tenor of the economic discussion is "get me out of here." The economic situation is a mess—we do not like it and we want out. Apparently we are to believe the situation is like a coin—it only has two sides: heads = tax cuts or tails = massive spending.
Everybody talks about the Law of Attraction. Attract Money. Manifest wealth. Blah blah blah blah blah. You can chant and vibrate all you like, but good luck becoming a money magnet when money finds you repulsive. Got too much cash? Here are five easy things you can do TODAY to repel money faster than you can say Fannie Mae and AIG: 1) LET PEOPLE OWE YOU MONEY Remember that $5,000 you lent to your cousin/sister/nephew/friend? Forget about it.
Tension in relationship is nothing new. Tension or conflict over money is not new either. Many, if not most adults avoid “money” conversations. Just like other key issues (sex, religion and child rearing) that seem so sensitive, deep and inexpressible, lack of money communication acts like a tou iquet to the life’s blood of relationship. Of course money is inanimate, yet it is energy. This energy is animated by thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. Mostly it is animated by thoughts, beliefs and attitudes from the past.
Does it seem like every time you take two steps forward you wind up one step behind? Do you think you’re doing “fine” with money, but keep looking and looking for ways to cut back? More to the point: Do you control your money, or does your money control you? If the economy is chipping away at your peace of mind, join me to see what happens when you lose sight of your financial goals—and how to take back your life…and your dreams. There will be magic—I promise. Hi Dr.
Disce ing the Difference Between Intuition and Impulse
The energy you expend always comes back. I know this for sure. This is true for all things, including your body. You must nurture it, work it, rest it. If you don't, the energy spent on neglect will eventually turn on you. It's not personal, just physics. I chose not to get up and work out. ...
This question came up on a coaches forum I like to contribute to, and I know this’ll apply to a lot of my readers… “How do I cope with no-show clients? A new client hasn’t shown up for two of the four sessions we contracted. Each time she follows up with really apologetic emails, begging me not to give up on her…,” the life coach asked. Here’s my response: Fire her. Or, to put it another way… Fire her. Keeping her as a client is not good life coaching.
Forget resolutions. Theyâre usually based on magical thinking, wishful thinking, and lack any real commitment or plan. Weâre already weeks into the new year and youâve probably already forgotten your resolutions. Well, so has everyone else. Welcome to the club. Thatâs why resolutions are for wimps. A better choice is to attract your new reality with what I call Positive Predictions. Itâs a fun and creative exercise that allows you to visualize the future, contemplat

“All you need is Love!” ~ The Beatles Yes, the children of tomorrow are here and they have come to support us! They are referred to as Crystal children, Indigo children or Light children. But who are these young people more and more of whom came in the last 10 years? I will give you the example of the Indigo children.
Mankind has contemplated for thousands of years the reason for it all. Why are we here? How come some people achieve massive results and others donât? Can it really be this simple? Bob Proctor, a living legend and Global authority on the teachings of The Laws of the Universe has now pinpointed what he believes to be The Greatest Law in the Universe. Thereâs no need for you to embark on years of searching. This exciting revelation is revealed for you right here, right now.
If you are a Law of Attraction fan, you are probably familiar with Abraham's emphasis on moving up the Emotional Scale to attract what you want into your life. For the benefit of the uninitiated, let me just give a brief rundown of what the Emotional Scale is. What is the Emotional Scale? The Emotional Scale is simply a range of emotions we are capable of experiencing from the most positive emotion - Joy/Appreciation/Love to the most negative - Fear/Grief/Powerlessness. The E
I am often asked this question and the answer is “how long is a piece of string?” It can be as long or as short as you want it to. I have seen claims that you can learn to read the Tarot in a couple of hours from a book or a DVD.
It is very easy to learn how to read tarot cards. You do not need any special psychic abilities, although using tarot cards can be a very good way to develop your intuition, if you would like to do that. You can approach learning to read tarot cards in a logical, systematic way. The easiest way to do that is if you have a deck of tarot cards where there are clear pictures. The Rider Waite deck of tarot cards is ideal for this purpose. Traditionally a deck of tarot cards consists of 78 cards, which are broken down into five sections.
We weren’t born with belief systems in place! We created them! Just as we created them, we can also RE-create them if they aren’t serving us. Sadly, many of us are severely limiting our life experience due to the belief systems that were developed and ingrained in us since childhood. Wouldn’t you like to break through those barriers and finally know what it feels like to move beyond your self-constructed limitations and live in a world of unlimited possibilities?
Magnetizing Abundance with The Power of the Spoken Word
Can you complete this sentence â âMoney is the root of all ââ Of course you can. âEvilâ is what comes to mind. But why? IS money evil? Many spiritual people think money is bad. They judge wealthy people as material. Does that sound spiritual to you? IS money bad? ARE wealthy people material? First, Iâve taught for a long time that the material is the hard form of the spiritual. Think about it. If money, cars, homes, etc are not spiritual (or at least also spirit
Creating Successful Habits Everything we do, have, or achieve is a result of our habits. Habits can be constructive or destructive based upon where they lead a person. If you want to create a better version of yourself; increase your success in any area of life; and increase your “livingness;” you’ll need to examine your current habits. Make sure the habits you possess will create the desires you want in life. I know a lady who wanted improvement in a number of areas of her life. She wanted a bigger house, more money, her own business, and someone to love.
Hereâs what the angels have to say:nnâWhen you focus on the problem at hand, you enlarge it in every sense of the word. It is the first law of metaphysics that whatever you focus upon grows and expands. What you set your sights upon, with clear intention, is what you steer toward. It is what you draw into your life. It is extremely important to focus on your situation as already healedâ¦which in truth it already is.nnPressing with your mind to try to make things happen i
Powerful Tips for Nurturing Your Relationship Is it Time to Rekindle the Romance? 1. INTEGRATION IS KEY
Our ability to create is hampered only by our own imaginations! The Wright Brothers imagined a flying machine and now we crisscross the globe in airplanes. In order to follow their dream of flight, they had to listen to their inner guidance system (intuition), engage their imagination, and ignore the voices telling them it couldn't be done. To manifest abundance, we must be as bold as the Wright Brothers. If we stumble along the path, it is because we need to adjust our creative engine before we can fly.
When we think about manifesting abundance or our desires, we think it is not an easy thing to do. The global crisis that we are now facing has made it harder for those who only have enough; and worse for those who are less fortunate. What you must understand is that if you want to manifest abundance, you must believe in it with your entire multidimensional self (your physical body, mental body, emotional body and spiritual body or Lightbody ). Manifesting abundance is not a h
n the next 60-seconds, the sun will generate enough solar power to fulfill the energy needs of our entire planet for a year. There are over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is just one in hundreds of millions of galaxies. If the water contained in the world’s oceans was poured onto the United States, it would cover the land ninety miles deep. Look anywhere in the natural world and the realization is obvious: we live in a universe of unlimited energy and unlimited abundance. All of life is energy. Love is energy. Money is energy. Happiness is energy.
Do you remember how a car runs when the brakes are on? Do you push harder on the gas to overcome the drag of the brake? That is how most people run their lives. But you simply release the brake and with no extra effort you start to go faster. People drive through life with their psychological emergency brake on. The keep the negative images about themselves or suffer of experiences they have never released.

The Phenomenal Beauty Behind Synchronicity A coincidence is described as: “The occurrence of events simultaneously or consecutively in a striking manner without any causal connection between them.” DO YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS JUST A SERIOUS OF RANDOM EVENTS? OR….. DO YOU BELIEVE IN SYNCHRONICITY? Do you feel that: • We create our own reality • Nothing happens by accident /Everything is connected • Every “chance” meeting has a deeper meaning • We are always being guide and directed on our path
Here's the question that came in: How do you attract money when you really, really "need" it (as in, you could lose your home if it doesn't come quickly)....as opposed to just desiring more? My understanding is "need" represents "lack" and then you get more "lack"....but when the need is quite serious, what do you do? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say sometimes you really, really need money, and you NEED it quickly!
"GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."rn~ Melody Beattie, Author Gratitude: what a topic for a challenging period! Our economy is shambles. Another two banks failed last week. I've never seen so many jobs lost.
What is the real source of abundance in your life? Most people have collapsed the concept of abundance with the condition of having plenty of money, but true abundance – as I define it here – encompasses far more than material possessions or luxuries. Satisfaction, fulfillment, joy, ease, happiness, creativity, compassion, freedom, love and wellbeing… these are all expressions of the essential, internal energy of abundance. When we deliberately cultivate this energy within ourselves, the exte al manifestations of abundance flow more easily into our lives.
Now is the time for TRUTH, INTEGRITY and PASSIONATE ACTION
Transcending Financial Struggles and Manifesting Abundance Are you frustrated because you seem to have continual struggles with money? Is is possible that you are sabotaging your financial situation and potential for creating success? Did you know that the reality of your financial condition does not depend on exte al factors, but rather on your internal environment? Your sense of worthiness, your perception of yourself, the way you think, and the way you express yourself emotionally is all part of the internal environment.
How Flexible Are YOU? Stretching Our Spiritual Flexibility Muscles
Everyone knows the proverb that money makes the world go around. Given how most of us feel about money, this may be only a slight exaggeration. The task of earning and managing money dominates many of our waking hours and our personal relationships are often affected by the intense emotion associated with it. Exploring money and how we relate to it, therefore, feels somewhat like bringing up an uncomfortable topic at a dinner party. Why bother discussing it then? Simply put,
“Appreciation of others and the appreciation of yourself is the closest vibrational match to Source Energy of anything that we’ve ever witnessed anywhere.” ~Abraham-Hicks
You’ve already proven your intelligence, talent, and tenacity as a coach. You work hard, and you have so much to offer, so why isn’t your value reflected in your pocketbook? You could be repelling money with unconscious beliefs and behaviors. Your clients need you to prosper. Here are five quick tips to attract more money into your life: 1. Appreciate money! If even a penny shows up on the sidewalk, thank Money for the gift. Don’t worry about denomination; appreciate everything. Think of how good you feel when you are valued for even a small gesture.
I shouldn’t be writing this. Wealth affirmations are such big business for my friends and colleagues and the people who hire me. And affirmations are stupid. Why? When you can’t get (or leave) a job, or pay your mortgage, or find a date... chanting to yourself, “I'm a millionaire," isn't going to solve your problems. Don’t get me wrong. I LIKE affirmations. I think they’re useful. I have a few in my book.
We all face occasions when we want to make a lasting impression. (I’m not talking a Tonya Harding kind of lasting impression.) Whether you are applying for a job, making new friends, building your client base, or looking for a date, you need to separate yourself from the crowd. How to be Unforgettable: 1) Establish relationship first. Listen, be curious, be genuinely caring. Focus on the other person instead of yourself. Who is this person? This is how you establish relationship. 2) Identify the needs of this other person. How can you serve this person?
I had a wonderful Zen afte oon blackberry pickn' the other day. It was wonderful for two reasons, I have heavenly organic blackberries to make a wonderful cobbler, and it was a great reminder of the SOP (standard operating procedure) of the ego mind and traps we unwittingly step into. Because everything is energy, if we train our mind for openness, simple experiences can give us great insights. My venture gave me reminders of the two different states of being we operate in: Power or force.
This was the most interesting questio I received for my “How to be a Money Magnet (and Client Magnet)” teleclass. 1) If it “isn’t working,” it (the alchemy) didn’t happen. You can follow the Financial Alchemy steps to becoming a Money Magnet--uncover your limiting beliefs, personify money as a monster, break up with the monster and create an ideal Money Honey, and nothing will change. Why? The relationship didn’t really change.
It starts innocently enough. I “just” want to go on to Facebook to check on one thing. When I finally emerge from my Facebook haze, 20 minutes has gone by. “Not a problem,” I think. “I still have enough time to pay the bills before I have to go get Isabel from the bus stop.” So I pull up my email inbox to find the bill pay reminders, but get distracted by some personal emails that have also been a nagging item on my to-do list for several days. I think to myself, “This is just as important.” Before I know it, I realize it’s nearly 4 pm!
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."rn~ Alan Cohen Would you like to create fast change? Here’s how: make room for what you want! When clients are stuck and not manifesting abundance and prosperity, I have them take a look at what they’re tolerating in their lives. What do they put up with that drains their energy?
