A film-star setting. A huge, airy apartment with giant
windows, pale gold opulent curtains floating gently in a light
breeze looking over the ocean. Big luxurious books on
the shiny glass coffee table. Huge white fragrant lilies
in a white china vase. Lots of space.
What is your idea of wealth, and opulence? And is it
attainable, or already a part of your life?
The environment that we grow up in has a big effect on our
‘wealth consciousness’. We have no judgement
as children, so the way our parents are with money seeps deeply
into us as ‘normal’. Wealthy people, surrounded
by the trappings of wealth, naturally attract – more
wealth! (The Universe helpfully provides whatever we
believe we have already). If you have not grown up with
‘wealth consciousness’ or if you are surrounded
by an environment that looks ‘poor’ then an effort
of will is required to create the ‘feeling’ of
wealth, so that you can then attract actual wealth.
A feeling of poverty, lack and ‘not enough’, unfortunately
attracts more of the same.
Wealth Meditation
Relax, breathe, and invite one of your angels or guides to
take you to your special place of wealth. Have a look around.
What can you see? Smell? Taste? Notice how
you feel and act. If you want to make changes or additions,
ask your angel for help in making them. Ask for help
in raising your level of wealth consciousness and retaining
it. When ready, gently return to the room.
Now, take a moment to reflect on what you learned. How
does it feel to be wealthy? If there is any feeling
of discomfort, you have a judgement or fear about being wealthy.
For example, a judgement is ‘wealthy people are evil,
bad, non-spiritual, low’ etc. (So of course, you
would not want to be like them – so that judgement will
stop you ever being wealthy). A common fear is ‘I’m
afraid if I’m wealthy, no-one will like me and I’ll
be alone’.
As with all judgements and fears, they are not ‘real’,
they are just ideas that limit us.
Exercise
Take ten minutes to write down all your judgements about wealthy
people. For example: ‘Rich people are bad,
Wealthy people are non-spiritual, Rich people are low class’
etc. Then, reflect on it, as you ask yourself ‘is
this really true?’ And, ‘is it ok for me
to be rich?’ (As Groucho Marx said, it has to
be ok to join the club, for you to want to join it!)
Now, take ten minutes to write down your fears about wealth,
riches, luxury, money, cash. You may have different
fears about each one. For example:
I’m afraid if I’m wealthy, no-one will like me
and I’ll be alone.
I’m afraid if I’m wealthy I will be cruel and
irresponsible with my money. I’m afraid if I’m
rich I’m depriving someone else.
I’m afraid I don’t know how to manage cash etc.
Keep going until you can’t think of any more.
Reflect on your fears about money. They are only fears.
They are not real. Just acknowledge them, embrace them,
and let them go. (You wouldn’t really be cruel
and mean with money if you had it, would you! You wouldn’t
really be alone, would you? Might you not just feel…
really good?)
Get that Wealthy Feeling
Review your normal surroundings. Do they make you feel
opulent and wealthy? If not, then you need to do some
‘camera tricks’ to make yourself feel wealthy,
so that you can attract more wealth into your life.
Clean and clear your space, and add some ‘props’
that feel luxurious – lovely flowers, a swathe of gold
silk around your mirror, a yummy cake in your fridge, delicious
bath oil in the bathroom. Just take a moment to reflect
on what makes you feel luxurious and rich, and begin to add
those things to your life. Try to feel the feeling of
being rich as often and as long as you can.
Visioning Wealth Exercise
Make a collage of opulent images from magazines, with photos
of yourself, and place it where you see it often. Also
consider creating a ‘positive wealth journal’
– a mini book that you keep in your back pocket, only
for positive writing about what you wish to attract, with
positive images stuck inside.
Begin to save, if you don’t already - ‘like attracts
like’, so when the Universe knows you have ‘a
money stash’, however small, it miraculously adds to
it!
