I recently read a wonderful book called “Money Is Love” by Barbara Wilder. She describes how money was once held to be sacred and connected to the Divine centuries ago and how over time our consciousness has warped it so that many of us see it imbued with greed, selfishness, arrogance etc.

Maybe this way of thinking has made many of us have negative thoughts about money. Hold some money and see how you feel about it – is it loving, is it a feeling of need/scarcity or even an anger that you never have enough?

As she says, the money we have in our purses and wallets has been through many hands and people’s  thoughts of scarcity, envy, reluctance of handing it over may all be in the money!

Think about this as you spend money – cash or cards. As you hand the money over, pass it on with a blessing and thought of love. Start to turn your consciousness towards money to be one of love – not in a sense of greed for money, but as an energy of passing it on to help others.

At the end of the day, money is an energy of exchange. Whatever you buy, someone has worked to produce it and so all you’re really doing is thanking them. People made the products you see in the supermarket, someone drove them to the shop, gas and electricity come through pipes which someone maintains, etc. So don’t begrudge paying your bills and buying goods – instead be grateful that you have the means to afford it.

Send loving thoughts to money to free it from the chains of negativity it’s been encased in. There’s enough air for 7 billion people to breath, so in the same way, there’s an abundance of money for everyone.

It’s up to us to start thinking and feeling about it  differently.  So help free money from the shackles we’ve put around it and send it on with love when you spend it 🙂
