Money Blocks

Money blocks have roots deep in our subconscious that go undetected for many years until you realize that you’ve hit a financial ceiling.

What are money blocks?A money block: is anything that holds you back from making the money that you want.

It’s really a protective mechanism to save us from some perceived harm.

Money blocks are with you for life. This is why you have to be vigilant and constantly work on them. Your money blocks have been growing roots and hanging around for years. It’s stuff you have taken on unconsciously from conditionings of your parents, teachers and society. Conditioned beliefs are things that you haven’t been given the chance to logically process or form a belief around for yourself. THEY ARE NOT YOUR OWN BELIEFS They attach themselves to your subconscious and drastically impact your reality.

How does the subconscious work? Subconscious doesn’t have the ability to analyze and evaluate. It takes on what it sees and hears as truth. This is why you need to be careful of surrounding yourself with negativity. It’s all about energy We are all just one big mass of flowing energy Interactions in the world are an exchange of energy, including money. Money blocks get in the way of this free flowing energy. Unblock the chi.

How do you know if you have money blocks?

You do. Because everyone does.

Sometimes it’s a completely hidden story that sabotages you in sneaky ways. For example, lots of people don’t think they have a money block. Instead, they just tell themselves that they: aren’t good at business or that they aren’t meant to be rich.

It’s way too easy to think that you don’t make enough money for something outside of yourself:

Clients being broke The economy Mercury Retrograde Any other random excuse

Don’t get me wrong, There are external factors that can affect your money. But believing that you can’t do anything about those factors is all in your mind.

For example – take the really common “I have to work hard to make money” one.

If you have this block: actively sabotage yourself to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Resist delegating so you have to do everything yourself Procrastinate so you have to pull all-nighters to finish your work.

But when you catch yourself doing these destructive behaviors, you can stop in the moment and remember that it’s just your money blocks. You can control how you act in those situations.

Popular money blocks

1. Believing you don’t deserve money

Grew up believing abundance was something that happened to other people You might not think that you are good enough to get rich. Look stupid if you gain money and lose it all. This issue happens to people who have attained a little success. They are afraid of change and do not strive for more.

2. Negative assumptions about money

If you have a negative association with money and wealth, what are the chances of you getting money?
Slim to none. If you do happen to get money, you won’t be able to keep it because you do not want to be a bad person subconsciously

Popular belief system: if you love what you do, and you love helping others, then you shouldn’t profit from it.

Belief system reframed: You should love what you do so much that it’s the only way to make money.

Most of the time these neg associations are coming from society, parents, School, friends. Most of these statements come from the 95%.

They are the 95% and this is their belief system. If you want to get to the 5% you cannot afford to have these negative associations.

Most of the time that people say things like, ‘Money is not important’ it is a defensive statement.
It usually means that they don’t have any, or they don’t know how to get some. You cannot have money if this is your belief system.

3. You want everyone to like you

Overly sensitive to others opinions, perceptions, criticism, gossip and outright attacks. When you have money people will attack you for no reason because they have perceptions about what you are about. Don’t take it personally.

4. Cues from your environment

Does your home or work environment subconsciously tune your mind into a vibration of lack rather than abundance? Common blocks of this type include small change carelessly lying around, poorly organized receipts, items that remind you of your hardest times.

5. Blindness to signs

You may be used to tuning out or discrediting gut instincts This can cause you to miss signs from the universe that are trying to point you toward wealth.

6. Excessively giving mindset

Being generous is great, but to manifest abundance you need to be both a giver and receiver Are you asking the universe to help you and then refusing what it brings? Your worth isn’t only defined by what you can provide for others It’s healthy, positive and your right to want things for yourself as well.

7. Lack of specificity

Even if you think you’ve set a clear intention in your law of attraction work, many people don’t realize that their subconscious has pushed them to set very vague goals that are hard to visualize and hard to attain. Don’t be afraid to set your mind on a specific amount of money and a specific timespan. Specificity brings results.

8. Low expectations

A mind full of doubts or low expectations will not be able to harness the energy required for a wealthy life.

9. Fear of success

Your subconscious may be terrified of getting what it wants

Discovering your own money blocks:

To release money blocks, you have to find clarity on what they are. Once you can personally identify the origins then you can work toward letting go of them.

1. What are your money blocks?

Pen & Paper “What thoughts do I have around my ability/ decision to make more money?” Write all beliefs and thoughts. Once you are clear of what’s going on inside your head, surrender the thoughts Let them go and open yourself. Be willing to allow more money into your life

2. Programming your mind for financial abundance

Financial affirmations
’I deserve wealth, and I am moving towards a life of abundance.’
Negative to Positive
`Write down every negative message you have ever heart about money, whether it’s from family, society, religion or culture. Next to each belief write a corresponding positive belief, and focus on those. Money is the root of all evil = I am a good person, no matter how much or little money I have
Identify your anxieties surrounding success
I worry I still won’t be happy I worry I am not responsible enough to have a lot of money
Write down the anxieties that you have about success Write down contradictions to these anxieties and repeat the positive statements everyday.
Strengthen your intuition
10 minutes meditation per day can help you listen to your own intuition.
Reading books & applying them

3. Take the right action

Pounce on opportunities. If what you are doing now isn’t working, what other action could you take?

Other options:

Tapping Reiki Chakra balancing Hypnosis

In conclusion:

We stop ourselves from excelling financially because of blocks and false beliefs.

This quote speaks to me. This is how we should think of money.

‘Money is the amplifier of who you are. If you are a bad person, the money amplifies it. If you are a great person, the money amplifies it.’

RMEMBER: There are only 3 things about money that you need to know:

How to make it How to keep it How to multiply it

Most people can’t even figure out the first one!!! It is very simple. Change your false & negative beliefs about money, and you can then begin to learn the process of how to make it, keep it and multiply it.
