Connection With Money

Carol explains that money has been tied to the root chakra, which is about physical survival, home, family and jobs, so it has acted like a survival energy. You imagine taking a cord of that energy and plugging it into an outlet in the center of your chest. It stays rooted, but now connects with love and appreciation, so money can serve you.

With your palm up in front of your chest, you sweep your hand out and back in a figure eight lying on its side, folding it back into your chest. It gives the new connection a physical shape. While you do it, you imagine the sound, taste and smell of money, such as shuffled bills, a cash register and coins dropping.

You thank money for being in your life, then release it from its old job of control, power and not enough. With your hand on your heart you say aloud, "I now give money a new script, a new identity." You cast it in the role of love, appreciation and support. Carol describes money as a neutral resource that will do what you ask.

Carol asks you to tap on your chest while repeating statements after her, to activate the new energy. They include "I am grateful for money," "Money is my friend" and "I'm comfortable spending money." You stop tapping and rest your hand on your heart before a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.

After the meditation, Carol suggests taking a $5 or $10 bill, or whatever currency you have. Write the new statements on sticky notes, stick them on it and keep it in your wallet. When the old energy around money returns, pull it out and read them aloud as declarations.

Carol points out that currency is a current, meant to flow in and then out. You imagine standing waist deep in a warm, wide river of money that comes to you easily. You receive it, thank it, then step out onto the ground and feel the new energy through your body.
