Our emotions around money can teach us how free we are!
Most individuals desire financial freedom. Far too many women struggle with trying to break free from limiting patterns around money or worst remain stuck in a lack mindset.
What exactly is it that holds us back from obtaining it now?
Emotions such as shame, guilt, and doubt rob women of creativity and sacred energy. Women feel resentment when they have to ask their partners for money. Desire instead to achieve independence for themselves.
Inherited beliefs passed along from their parents and grandparents. Perhaps times may have been tough and as evolutionary women, we need to question these beliefs to ask if they are in service of our highest good now.
Past money mistakes that we keep punishing ourselves over. Once we figure out this key thing, I feel it will end the duality of inner conflict that is created by this one thing.
We need to stop punishing ourselves for things we deem as wrong. Instead, look at it as an experience and be more curious about the lesson than whether it is good or bad.
This was an enlightening moment when I realized what working through emotions of money such as shame, guilt, and money fear leads to.
Women I have worked with in the beginning struggled with a deep sense of lack of self-worth, wanted to make more money yet felt guilty about it, even self-care practices for women provide deep emotions around being selfish.
The struggle of lack is real for far too many women and is a result of past experiences that have not been dealt with.
Women who feel they are here to break the chains as their intuition keeps guiding them to dig deeper to explore themselves more and heal childhood and money wounds to become whole.
Facing rather than avoiding money emotions leads to a transformation of self as we courageously break through limiting money paradigms.
Other thought leaders such as David Hawkins in Power vs Force, and his image of the energy consciousness graph clearly shows the raise in our frequency by transcending through lower vibrational emotions.
