Hello,
My name is Lou Redman and welcome to an insight timer premium track today.
We're gonna explore.
How do you?
Experience flow in ease with money So much of what I've learned About spirituality and money comes from the book the soul of money by Lynn twist So I want to give credit where credit is due as in that book.
She talks about money as a Currency,
Of course,
That's what money is however Highlighting this key word current and what do currents do they flow?
They move and they carry energy With it and so how we move our money the energy that we move our money with and how we receive it It matters it matters in how we experience money in our lives We talk about streams of income and this metaphor points us to this truth that money is meant to move both in and out and So often we grasp at money.
We hold it.
We feel fear We need to put it somewhere and never touch it.
And of course,
That's not how we create flow and ease That's how we create constriction If you think about water a puddle that is not moving that is stagnant Becomes dirty and the energy in it is decaying in certain ways But a river a river the movement keeps the water clear and clean.
I Love this phrase be known for what you allocate not what you Accumulate and that word points to an Intention that we have around our money that we're allocating it to different things and that could mean investment accounts that could mean savings But we're doing it consciously That we are putting awareness so that our money can move and we can become a steward So that it grows and it nourishes where it touches not just accumulates and grows Stagnant because let's be honest a million dollars in a bank account doesn't do anything It doesn't create more value in the world.
But when you pay for something that you value Not only do you get the value that you pay for but the other person receives the value from you and there's actually more value that's created in the world and So yes saving as Lynn twist says is responsible But when it holds us back from using our money in ways that affirm life Then money becomes an end in itself and it's actually an obstacle to well-being Lynn says that when people are able to align their money with their deepest most soulful interests and commitments Their relationship with money becomes a place where profound and lasting Transformation can occur So our meditation is going to be about attuning to what is the energy you have around your money and seeing if we can connect to an energy that's going to be nourishing that if you are giving and receiving money with love that is so much more powerful and Easeful than giving and receiving money with fear and so we'll explore that in our meditation so go ahead and begin to Come into your body closing your eyes if you haven't feeling the ground beneath you and Right away as you take a few breaths as you drop in Notice the energy that you have around money What stirs in you?
Maybe it's a fear a doubt maybe it's detachment or an aversion Maybe it's love or joy sense what that energy is and notice it as a color that Your body is emanating What is that color?
And what does that feel like?
To be with Now as you connect with what the energy that you tend to have around money or whatever showing up right now In front of you invite you to imagine a white light that's emanating from the ground Almost like a spotlight shooting straight up.
This is going to be a portal that Represents the energy that you'd like to have around money.
It could be love joy courage peace ease flow Maybe it's a mix of these and so notice what this light represents for you How do you want to engage with money and then take a breath and when you feel ready?
Imagine that you step into this light And let it consume and feel into what that energy represents Let its luminescent colors pour up through your body and Having it shift or move what those current feelings around money were so just take a few moments to Connect with what this energy that you're stepping into how you want to show up with money in your life feel that here Let it grow let it emanate Breathe it in and then if you feel like you can root in this energy You're welcome to step out of the portal and be this new energy Or if you feel like you'd still like it to be moving you can stay connected in the portal So what we're gonna do with this is I want to invite you now to imagine a person who is struggling Financially and this could be someone that you know,
It could be someone that you might imagine maybe someone you might meet on the street and From this energy that you are connected to imagine you giving to this person freely and the money is just a Representation of the energy that you're giving with So when you're giving the money,
You're really giving them the energy the love the peace the ease Take a few moments and feel what that's like to give with this energy Notice how that feels and then letting the awareness of this person go and shifting to imagining that you are now receiving money in Whatever ways that you receive money in your life,
Whatever streams that are coming in big or small and so it could be Imagining that you're receiving your paycheck And I want you to imagine that you receive it with that same energy that you receive it with love and ease and Peace or whatever it is for you and if you don't have any streams right now,
You can imagine that someone's giving to you and You receive it with that openness And maybe as you receive this there's also some gratitude And what's it like to also let money flow into your life with this energy?
Connected to your body and then Shifting to one more area and imagining from this energy Investing Into the things that you love pouring your money pouring your love In your commitment,
Whatever this represents for you into the things that you value That you are nourished by And know that that also gives to others Maybe it's getting a massage maybe it's getting yourself some New shoes if that's what you love that's what you value and notice there's a difference between buying new shoes with excitement and love and Buying it with fear or reactionary You get to charge your money And put it towards the things that you value whether things whether services experiences people charities and So really imagine yourself whether you're in a store or whether you're about to hit by now online feel that energy and that light pouring through as You purchase as you put that money Into things that you care about feel what that's like and then letting go of Putting your focus there and before we come back Whatever that light is really let your body remember it and maybe you speak it in an I am So whatever that energy is I am love I am flow.
I am ease see if you can connect with that And your invitation is to take this into your day To move with this energy and See how you can find more flow and ease to move your resources out and to let them come in and Whenever you're ready,
You can open your eyes and Come back to your day.
I hope you find that helpful.
