Why do Healers and Spiritual People Struggle so Much with Money?

November 1, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

I find it very ironic that so many people I know on the spiritual path often struggle so much with money. I feel in many ways that it is far more spiritual to be abundant than to be struggling financially. When Jesus said the Kingdom of GOD is within us what I feel he meant is that our inner divinity – what I call the highest level aspect of our monad – is totally abundant. So to the extent we become aware of, understand, know and realize embodying the highest level aspect of our monad, then we move into the vibration of total health and abundance on all levels and in all areas of our life.

Just to be clear by NO means am I advocating falling into the pitfall of materialism and the LOVE of money which indeed is the root of all evil. A lot of the financial chaos and instability in our world today originates from the greed on individuals and financial organizations.

Also as a practical matter, we often need to have a certain amount of material wealth to accomplish our world service missions. I know many very gifted healers who will never meet all the people they can help, heal and serve because they cannot manifest the funds to get their work promoted and out into the world. What this means on the bottom line is that many people who can benefit from their spiritual gifts will never be able to find them to utilize their services.

Here are some of my core beliefs about abundance, success and prosperity:

Abundance is broader than money – abundance is the energy of fulfillment on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and financial.

How much peace of mind do you feel when you think about money? To the extent that you feel calm and serene and at peace – well that is the extent that you have healed your relationship with money.

Ask and you shall receive has always worked well for me. The person being asked can only say no and if so, I am not worse off than I was before. If they say yes, I am better off.

Often we get attached to having abundance come to us in a certain form or substance and if we do not get it in that way, we often cannot accept the abundance that flows in – because it looks wrong. For me the core of my abundance flows in as the ideas and downloads I receive from Spirit which ultimately and over time leads to money but often does not manifest in money immediately. Laughing out loud often I have to wait several years for some of my work to become more accepted and mainstream before it comes back to me in the form of money.

You have to love, honor, appreciate and accept where you are NOW financially before you can move on to better things. Maintaining a gratitude journal or log of things that I am thankful for helps me to instill the consciousness of thankfulness. The more we look at the world using gratitude eyeglasses, the more things we will attract into our life to be grateful for.

Money is just another form of energy – it is neutral energetically until we spend it. When we utilize the energy of money to make love-based choices, we align with the abundant flow of universal energy which is based on love.

To live an empowered life on this planet and to help others do so you have to be abundant. Often we cannot do everything we are supposed to do because we don’t manifest the money to do so. It often requires money to achieve your world service contracts.

Athletes and lawyers and actors don’t agonize about being paid for their spiritual gifts so why do healers?

My spiritual adventure has had a pretty hefty price tag and while it is true that everything lies within your heart, often we can accelerate the process by working with healers and teachers. And usually the most gifted ones charge quite a bit for their services since they love themselves and value their time and energy.

Healers who don’t promote their work often don’t reach all the people who can benefit from their services and who are meant to work with them.

If you want to move into massive world service focus on becoming as good a business person as you can be or hire someone who is. A lot of healers I have worked with are not terribly grounded and not terribly responsive to customer needs and ultimately that will hold them back.

Our jobs, money, bank account balances, debts, houses, financial assets, etc. are the effect of our consciousness – the external out-picturing of our internal beliefs, feelings, memories, experiences and attitudes around money, success and abundance. To change the outer, material world that we perceive we need to shift our consciousness internally. The more we can unify with the highest level aspect of ourselves – our most expansive, infinite, unlimited self – the part that does not recognize scarcity and lack as even being a possibility, the more abundant, happy, healthy and successful we will be.

Millionaires are masters of abundance – they are conscious and aware about their financial patterns. To become more focused and clearer about money, buy a small notebook and begin jotting down how much you spend and where every day. Within a week you will become much more aware of your money and spending patterns and within two weeks, you will find yourself making changes. I challenge you to do this for just two weeks. You will learn amazing things about yourself and you will no longer be living as much on autopilot about money.

Think about how you can serve the maximum number of people with the least expenditure of your time and energy. Often I will hold off on releasing something until I feel comfortable that the approach I use is the most effective and efficient one. I do believe in the 80/20 rule in that you can obtain 80% of what you want to achieve with 20% of effort. I always have so many projects going on that focusing beyond the 20% doesn’t make sense. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.

If you feel wishy-washy about money, money will be wishy washy to you. Focus and perseverance are attributes most prosperous people have mastered.

Clearing Vows of Poverty

When I work with people on spiritual paths around money often I see in their energetic spaces – vows of poverty that are still active and ongoing. We are children of the Creator and our words, acts and promises are very potent. Often spiritual people have many, many lifetimes as members of a spiritual community like a monastery or nunnery where vows are made as part of the requirements to join those communities. And those vows in those lifetimes often supported their spiritual growth and evolution but now often these same vows hold people back. I am asking the Creator to help you to clear these out as you say out loud or think or pray within:

“Creator, please help me to clear, transmute, heal, release and dissolve all vows of poverty across time, space and dimensions and indeed all vows, promises, contracts, covenants and commitments I made that no longer serve my highest good or support my spiritual evolution. Thank you.”

The IFFCAA Approach to the Law of Attraction

November 1, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

We each have what I call a material mind and a super-conscious mind that is part of the Mind of the Creator. Universal Mind in a lot of ways is like the Cosmic Internet and we each can access the power of it via our super-conscious mind which accesses it sort of like a cosmic library card works. In a lot of ways the Law of Attraction is one of the most important programming in the Cosmic Internet – sort of like the operating system like XP or Vista.

How Can I Tap Into the Power of the Law of Attraction (LOA) to Create a Life that Works?

After much thought and study I came up with what I call the IFFCAA Approach to working with the Law of Attraction. This is how I work with the LOA but by all means play with it and find something that works for you. We each are wired differently and what works for me may not for you and vice versa.

I – Intent – I created a one page vision statement for my life and a second page that sets expectations for four important areas of my life: Health, Relationships, Finances and General Expectations

F – Focus each day on what you want to create. Each day when I get up and right before I go to sleep I read over my statement of intent and I have recorded it on audio mp3 recordings that I can listen to during the day and when I am driving.

F – Monitor your feelings and when you feel bad, look at what you are doing & stop doing it! Pretty self-explanatory and while it is not easy to do at first, after thirty to forty days of doing this, it becomes second nature.

C- Clear on a daily basis everything that comes up throughout the day that is in opposition to your intent and vision plan. After a month of working intensely with the Law of Attraction and fine-tuning my intent and daily revising my vision plan, I had created a severe cold that lasted three weeks along with an ear infection that I had not had in 40 years; I got in a minor fender bender accident; I was feeling very stressed and imbalanced and ungrounded which was unusual for me.

When I asked what was going on, I got that in plunging headlong into the LOA process and choosing to work on lots of areas at one time, that I stirred up everything in opposition to my intent and vision. And because I wasn’t clearing it daily, it built up in my life and created a lot of imbalances in my life. So I spent a day working on myself clearing out all the build-up.

This by the way is not mentioned in any of the Law of Attraction books and cds I was working with but it did create a lot of chaos for myself. Also I am fairly clear and I naturally operate from a state of instant manifestation which very few people on the planet do – slowed down manifestation is a great blessing in many ways for people on this world.

A – Act when it feels right and only when it feels right. Due to impatience I find I often act when I should not so I am trying to do better in this area.

A – Allow your good to come to you. Patience again@@#@!@

Cultivating faith, perseverance, gratitude and a positive mental attitude helps me at least to work with the LOA a lot more effectively. I am even learning how to become more patient too!!! Grins.

Examine your thinking rather than blame life or fate or bad luck or astrology for the quality of your life.

Our three most important relationships are the ones we have with our self, our body and money.

Only the love from our heart can dissolve the cages created by our mind.

The more that you complain, the more stuff you have to complain about!

The more you appreciate others, the more you are appreciated yourself.

Happiness is an attitude, choice and habit Happy people often traverse through the valley of despair and transcend it.

Striving to become something often repels you from it!

I feel that most artists, musicians and creative people in general are often natural, innate healers.

The love you see outside yourself originates from the love that dwells within yourself.

Have compassion for everyone in your life. For each person around you mirrors back to you something inside you!

Wouldn’t the world be awesome if people treated themselves and others as well as they treat their pets?

When you identify an area you want to improve, ask “What inside of myself is coming up to be loved, healed and accepted?”

People would be happier if they focused on how they feel rather than worry about what is going on in the “real” world. The real world is not outside of yourself. It is what is going on energetically within your body and consciousness.

The more energy we use trying to control our life; the less energy we have for healing and creating a life that works.

We each live in the “real world” which is the one we each forge from our internal thoughts, feelings and attitudes!
Ask yourself often today: How do you feel? And if you feel bad, note what you are doing and try to do something else.

How will you accept, like, trust, love and nurture yourself today?

Who do you give away your power to and why do you do it?

How will you look for, acknowledge & honor the inner divinity of each person that you interact with today?

How will you honor your time and energy today?

Are you going to choose to be happy or “right” today?

When you truly love and accept yourself on all levels then you cannot help but create a life that works for you!

Some of Bill’s Favorite Abundance, Gratitude, Prosperity and Success Quotes, Part 2

September 28, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

“You have to love, honor, appreciate and accept where you are NOW financially before you can move on to better things. Maintaining a gratitude journal or log of things that I am thankful for helps me to instill the consciousness of thankfulness. The more we look at the world using gratitude eyeglasses, the more things we will attract into our life to be grateful for.”

“Our jobs, money, bank account balances, debts, houses, financial assets, etc. are the effect of our consciousness – the external out-picturing of our internal beliefs, feelings, memories, experiences and attitudes around money, success and abundance. To change the outer, material world that we perceive we need to shift our consciousness internally. The more we can unify with the highest level aspect of ourselves – our most expansive, infinite, unlimited self – the part that does not recognize scarcity and lack as even being a possibility, the more abundant, happy, healthy and successful we will be.”

“One of the ways you honor your time and energy is to focus on what is most important. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can most effectively help people. I do believe in the 80/20 rule in that you can obtain 80% of what you want to achieve with 20% of effort. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule) states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.”

“Most super abundant people on this world either work for themselves or create their own business. It is so much easier to manifest and create a profitable business when you are the dominant influence or major player in the organization. This means that your energy and intentions have the maximum possible power and effect. Of course the other implication or ramification of this principle is that if you begin a business without being impeccable around having a strong intent or energy around it of being abundant, prosperous and successful, then you are likely to create a new business that is not able to survive economically or will struggle to survive.”

“It always fascinates me that most of my clients who come to me for help in releasing addictions are usually much more successful and abundant than many highly evolved souls and starseeds that are drawn to my spiritual growth offerings. But upon reflection, it makes sense in that most addictions cost money. The craving for addictive substances often keeps addicts anchored in the NOW where their personal power is centered. And people with addictions are very focused and intent and dedicate an enormous amount of physical, mental and emotional energy on obtaining the substances they are addicted to so there is no inner conflict as to their desires. In sharp contrast, people on spiritual paths often are ungrounded, live in the future more than in the present and conflicted about money….”

“One of the things I find interesting to watch in this era of chaotic financial energies is that it demonstrates in so many ways, how the worship of money gets played out in our society.

The most obvious form of the worship of money are people who are so focused on making money that they ignore their health, family, friendships and relationships in the obsessive pursuit of wealth. But perhaps the more subtle form of the worship of money is that so many people place their sense of self esteem, identity and worth in what they do for a living and in how much they earn and in how much they are worth. To me this is yet another way that people give away their power… We are all much much more than our jobs or our salaries or our bank balance. I hope that one of the results of the financial crisis is that people will look at these patterns and make different choices. I also notice that people are much more grateful, thankful and appreciative of their jobs than they were before so much financial chaos occurred.”

“It always amazes me as to how much of our financial life experience are governed by the core beliefs of our family of origin. My father always told me when I was growing up: “If you learn one thing from me son; I hope it is that life isn’t fair.” And my mother could have written an encyclopedia on “You have to work hard to succeed.” It took me years to clear those two patterns/programs from my energy fields, consciousness, beingness and awareness.”

“A lot of times when people pray for abundance or ask how they can create more abundance, it comes in as an idea or opportunity. Everything you see in the outer, material world begins as an internal thought. We each have tons of what I call millionaire ideas – ideas that if we focus our consciousness on them to develop them into fulfillment that would bring in a million dollars. But all too often we blow them off as being unrealistic and impossible. And then later when we see that someone else had the same idea and acted upon it, we kick ourselves… The Law of Attraction is more likely to shower me at least with ideas and business opportunities and connections that arise out of nowhere than it is to shower me with cash. Although I am open to receive a shower of cash…”

“One of the most important relationships we have in life is our relationship with money. To me true abundance is not about how much money you have as it is about how much peace of mind you have around money. Take some deep breaths. I am going to ask you a very important question and that is: When you think about money and your personal finances, how do you feel? If you feel peaceful, calm, centered, happy, content and fulfilled, then you have a great relationship with money and I congratulate you. If, however, you feel stressed, anxious, concerned, worried, depressed or fearful whenever you think about money or your personal finances, then you probably need to heal your relationship with money. The best place to start is to look at what you believe about money deep down inside. I created the Money Healing Program to assist people in this inner work.”

“I used to get very upset and agitated when my money flow got disrupted or worst came to a halt. I would ask myself: What did I do wrong? But I was able to use the emotional energy that abounds when there is no money to catapult me on to the next level of abundance. Earlier on in my path, lack of money would turn into anxiety and then to fear and then to worry and this just immersed me and locked me energetically into the vibration of lack and scarcity which become a downward spiral. Now when my money flow dries up, I realize that it is more because I did things right than because I did things wrong. I just have learned what I could from that past way of creating wealth and I am ready to learn a new way. I begin to ask what is the next step for me before it becomes a crisis. Almost always this situation becomes an opportunity for me to move my abundance to the next level. Often this means I either need to recreate myself or to reexamine the work I am doing or the way I am doing the work. Now when this happens I ask how I can serve in a larger way. As soon as I ask for help, I begin to get the insights, inner direction and guidance I need to move forward. So in a way the drying up of money is the catapult I use to propel me onward and upward into a more abundant cycle.”

Thoughts About the Law of Attraction and How to Create a Life that Works!

September 28, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

“As I grow and evolve, I find that: I trust more; I question less; I go with the flow;
I do less; and I be more. I tend to live now by how I feel. If I feel good about something - I do it. If I do not feel good about something – I usually don’t do it. This approach to life really cuts to the core essence and simplifies my decisions quite a lot.”

“Earth is a paradise world. The Kingdom of God already exists and surrounds us and enfolds us at all times. But we cannot see and experience it because we don’t believe in it and our vibration does not resonate with it. As we become more loving and align with the Heart Paradigm on Gaia, we raise our vibration and we begin to see the shimmering perfection of the planet that is currently veiled to most of us.”

“We have two minds really: The unlimited, infinite super-conscious mind of the Creator and the limited, material mind of the host human body. Our super-conscious mind is connected to the Universal Mind of the Creator or the Cosmic Internet. When we operate from this mind, we are connected to all that is or was or ever shall be; which is the plane of miracles. Whereas, when we operate from the material minds and brains, we are functioning on the plane of limitation and illusion. When we are born we perceive life from the super-conscious mind but shortly thereafter we are taught to view life from the material mind. It begins when we are told that this is Mommy, Daddy, television, food, water… etc. Since 99% of the world focuses on the material mind and believe that only the things we see are real, then that is the one we develop and orient our lives around. Actually very little of what we see or perceive to be true is true at all. Quantum physicists have found that the more they closely they look at and delve into matter, the less matter they find.”

“A lot of people have lost touch with who they are and do not know what they really want – what brings them joy – because they have given so much of their power away to others. If you are in this space, you may want to go back in time to a place where you were happier and ask what brought you joy in that period of time. Begin to reclaim the power you have given away to others and try to do something nice for yourself at least once a day. Take baby steps at first and realize it takes about 30 to 40 days to instill and establish a new way of behavior that your subconscious mind accepts. As you begin to honor and appreciate yourself more and more and reclaim your power, you will begin to live more authentically and you will discover what brings you joy. And let this be the basis of the reality you are choosing to create.”

“When people ask me what is the most important thing they can do, they often expect words of wisdom about their path and plan with the Creator or information about what form their world service work should take. But what most raises the vibration of Gaia is for you to ignite the passion in your heart and live from a space of joy, ecstasy and bliss. As you live your bliss and follow your heart and let your soul soar and sing, then you are Creating Heaven on Earth. And you help everyone you meet to embody Heaven on Earth as well by inspiring others to live their bliss, to open their hearts and to let their soul sing!”

“What we call the snowball effect (the art of turning mole-hills into mountains), the Midas Touch and Murphy’s Law are all examples of how the Law of Attraction operates in our world. When you consistently hold a thought over time, the Law of Attraction sorts through your mind for thoughts, feelings and memories that are similar to the thought and gather them together and that is why the thoughts we hold consistently get so strong. They become core beliefs. If the thoughts we hold consistently in our mind are positive, loving, upbeat and optimistic, we are very likely to develop a Midas Touch in that everything thing we do will succeed and prosper. This is the path of the upward spiral. If the thoughts we hold consistently in our mind are negative, fearful, angry and pessimistic, then we fall into the realm of Murphy’s Law where nothing we do goes well for us. This is the path of the downward spiral. What we choose to focus our mental energy is a CHOICE so choose wisely.”

“Spirit and Matter are flip sides of the same coin. One way Spirit manifests itself is through the material plane and matter cannot exist without the underlying substance of Spirit. But people who focus on the Spirit side of the coin fare better in life than those that choose to focus on the material plane, because the realm of Spirit is the cause of everything that happens including the material plane whereas the material plane is the level of effect. The spiritual plane is purer energetically and more impeccable and pristine; so as you focus on Spirit your upgrade your material body and life.”

“I really love the nautilus shell because to me – this is such a beautiful analogy for living from the multidimensional heart. The nautilus shell is translucent and has many hues of colors just like the heart. It spiral outwards from the center getting larger and larger as it unfolds just as the heart expands out into the cosmos. The nautilus shell spirals to the cosmic design of the golden mean so it is aligned with universal principles. The golden mean is very healing, soothing, harmonious and balanced. The Nautilus as it expands and grows creates new and larger heart chambers. And it is so very beautiful. I have always been drawn to the symbol of the heart and spirals and that is really what the Healing Holograms logo represents. To me life is about centering in the heart and radiating out from there.”

“It is well known and commonly accepted that in order to manifest, you need to have a vision for what you want to accomplish and a strong focused intent on creating this vision on the physical plane. But the origin of the vision and focused intent is often just as important as the vision itself. What space are you coming from when you set the intent or create your vision? Are you creating your vision, goals and intent from your head/mind or from your heart? For example, if I want to create more financial abundance I could set my intent in several ways. One I could set a financial goal in that I want to earn $____ or I could set the intent that I want to help and serve ________ of customers. It is much easier for me to create financial abundance by focusing on helping and serving others because it excites and energizes the power of my heart. My heart loves to serve and help others. My heart doesn’t care nearly as much about how much money is in my bank account.”

“I was raised in a very stable family that values security a lot. Throughout most of my professional career, I held a variety of professional jobs in government. And the last year I was working in my safe, secure and very highly paid bureaucratic position, I felt like Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde in that I would do my safe government job during the day and run my wild and crazy spiritual healing practice at night and on weekends and it was like living with a foot in two worlds. But as I grew spiritually I realized that life is really so very fluid that it is impossible to be stable, secure and safe. In a way security is an illusion especially on a world like Gaia that is ascending. And the path of freedom and sovereignty I was drawn to … well you can’t walk that path and still cling on to stability and security.”

“People who not only believe in miracles but also EXPECT them to happen and ALLOW them to happen experience them much more than people who choose not to believe in miracles. A lot of miracles are centered around concepts of time which is perhaps the biggest illusion operating on the planet. Although closely tied with this one is the unreality of money. Money is perhaps the second biggest illusion on the planet.”

How to Determine If You are Ready to Start a Business

August 1, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

A lot of people go into business for themselves without a lot of thought and this is one of the major reasons why most new businesses fail within five years.

Creating a business is a lot like creating a garden. It can be a lot of fun but it also will take up a lot of time and energy and you never know what the harvest will be. You have to show up, be present and vigilant to succeed.

Please do something that you enjoy to do. The ideal business to start is one that you are good at (suits your strengths and spiritual gifts); that is your passion and that you can pay your bills with.

Know that not everyone is meant to own and operate a business. People who like a stable work life and do not enjoy the ebbs and flows of money may find that owning a business drives them nuts. You need to have a lot of discipline and good boundaries especially if you work out of your home.

Some questions I asked myself years ago when I formed my healing practice were:

What Are YOUR Strengths and Spiritual Gifts?

What Ignites Your Passion?

Can You Pay Your Bills While Doing What You Love to Do?

Are You Able to Hold On to Your Current Job While You Transition to a New Field?

How Good Are You at Business?

How Good Are You at Marketing and Networking?

Who Would You Like to Help?

How Would You Like to Help Them?

Would You Still Do This if You Won a Million Dollars in the Lottery?

Do You Have a Web Site Set Up or Business Cards?

What Blocks Us from Experiencing Wealth and Abundance

July 8, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master 1 Comment

As a Business Success Coach & Hypnotherapist, I work with a wide variety of individuals. Although each of us has unique gifts and talents, all of us need money in the material world to thrive. When we struggle to earn and attract the money we need to sustain a quality of life that is aligned with our hearts desires, we are not living up to our fullest potential. The energy of fear, desperation, worry, self-doubt, anger and guilt restrict our divine gifts and keep us stuck in a state of negativity. What is the solution?

First, it is important to recognize that there are deep unconscious causes of the scarcity or lack that you are experiencing. In many cases, you are not consciously aware of the negative beliefs imprinted in your subconscious mind. These beliefs are in conflict with the money you want to attract. The good news is, with proper tools and guidance you can and will effectively resolve those old beliefs. Before we get into the how, I’d like to share with you what is taking place to restrict the flow of money and abundance into your life.

Even in the womb we are entraining (matching the vibration) to our mother’s energy. If your mom was experiencing a significant amount of fear about safety and security, as a fetus your subconscious was preparing for a hostile and unsafe world. This is the beginning of subconscious programming that has a negative effect on your ability to manifest financial security. From the moment we are born until we are about 7 years old, we go through what is called an imprinting period. Our critical faculties haven’t formed yet and our subconscious minds are like a recording device, recording all of our experiences. Our perceptions, expectations, predispositions are all being formed based upon the people around us.

Think of your subconscious mind as the operating system of your life. Your interpretations of the world around you, formed throughout your life, affect every action, belief, behavior and attitude you have as an adult.

From this brief explanation, I am sure you can see how your parents and societies fears, beliefs and attitudes can create unconscious obstacles to success. Awareness of the conflicting beliefs in your own consciousness is the first step to clearing blocks to wealth and abundance. The next step is the actual clearing process. There are many modalities that can effectively clear old dense energies from your subconscious, energy systems (chakras), even your DNA and cellular memory. The key to choosing the right technique for you is in learning to interpret your own inner guidance.

It is true that not every healing modality works for everyone. Because we are all unique, our ability to work effectively with certain processes will vary. When you learn to interpret your own inner guidance, you can bypass the trial and error method when seeking a clearing/healing modality that works best for you. Muscle testing is the easiest way to determine what will work for you – and what won’t. Muscle testing is easy to learn and easy to use. To learn more about muscle testing, do a quick internet search.

The final piece of advice I have for you on your clearing journey to wealth and abundance is to utilize multiple techniques for clearing, healing and subconscious reprogramming. The more tools you have in your tool box, the more success you can build. That said, if you are reading this article, you are in the right place for transformation. Many blessings on your path to success.

Why Do Affirmations Work for Some People but NOT for Me?

June 28, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

Throughout my spiritual journey I have had a love/hate thing going on with affirmations. When I began my path over seventeen years ago, I was broke, sick and unemployed. Affirmations felt so true to me when I first learned about them that I dove in. After several months of doing affirmations for several hours a day without any shift in my daily life, I gave up on the idea and dropped it.

In retrospect, the reason I failed with affirmations was that I was not clear enough to energetically anchor in the new beliefs and thought forms. The almost thirty years of old programming was so strong and active in me that I was not able to bring in the new beliefs. Every time I stated an affirmation – everything that was in opposition to the new belief and paradigm rose up to stop it from being effective.

I created a line of affirmation healing images to help clear, transmute, heal, release and dissolve anything and everything in opposition to the affirmation. The affirmation balloon images on the next page contain healing and clearing profiles to help you to embrace, express and embody the affirmation in your consciousness.

Some of Bill’s Favorite Abundance, Gratitude, Prosperity and Success Quotes, Part 1

June 25, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master 1 Comment

“The core to creating a magical life that works and supports you on all levels is self love and acceptance. When you truly love and accept yourself on all levels then you cannot help but create a life that works for you!”

“Sharing what you have with others is a tangible way to express gratitude and appreciation for all that you are and all that you have been given. And for all that you give and share, well the Universe gives back in response a thousand fold. Sharing part of your good fortune with others not only sets a sound foundation but also propels you forward on an upward spiral of abundance, success and prosperity. The universe is abundant, safe and friendly.”

“Intent is a cornerstone and foundation for creating a life that works and one that supports you on all levels. When you set and create your intent, you move from the stance of inertia and recreating your past to one of taking responsibility and charge of your life. If you do not have the basic intent to make something new happen, then you will repeat over and over again the patterns of your past. Take some time to get clearer and more focused about what you intend for your goals and future and then nourish it each day by pondering your intent, visualizing achieving it and taking whatever action you feel guided to do.”

“An attitude of gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness is so important to experience true abundance. When you feel abundant, good things cannot help but come your way and you know deep within that no matter what happens you will always be provided for. I also find that the more grateful and appreciative I am the more giving I am as well. When we give to others from our hearts, we acknowledge that we appreciate all of the blessings we have received. And the more we acknowledge our blessings -the more magnetic we become to attracting more of them into our life. It is impossible to out-give the Universe. I believe that deep inside – each one of us wants to make the world a better place – to make a difference and for me giving back is just one simple way to make a huge difference in someone’s life.”

“I don’t believe that we have to work hard to succeed. In fact the most successful people I know often work very little if at all. I think that most people – at least in the United States – are so busy all the time that they do not always make the best decisions. I try not to fill my life with activity so that I have the time I need to focus on whatever comes up in the NOW. I have released a lot of my expectations about what I will do and do not schedule a huge number of things so I can remain flexible and go with the natural flow of my day. Over the years, I have trained myself to recognize what things are the most important, highest-priority ones and I focus on them and get them out of the way early on. I always ask each day for the Creator to show me what is most aligned with the highest good and that is what I do. Usually I just get one to three things that are mission critical and often they are small. It is the small things in life that are often the most important.”

“How much peace of mind do you feel when you think about money? To the extent that you feel calm and serene and at peace – well that is the extent that you have healed your relationship with money.”

“To become more focused and clearer about money, buy a small notebook and begin jotting down how much you spend and where every day. Within a week you will become much more aware of your money and spending patterns and within two weeks, you will find yourself making changes. I challenge you to do this for just two weeks. You will learn amazing things about yourself and you will no longer be living as much on autopilot about money.”

“Abundance is broader than money – abundance is the energy of fulfillment on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and financial. Often we get attached to having abundance come to us in a certain form or substance and if we do not get it in that way, we often cannot accept the abundance that flows in – because it looks wrong.”

Some of Bill’s Favorite Manifesting and Law of Attraction Quotes, Part 1

May 24, 2011 By Energy Healing Reiki Master Leave a Comment

“The way the Law of Attraction works is that whatever you focus your mental energy and attention on magnified by emotion is multiplied. So when you worry about money you are focusing mental energy on lack and scarcity magnified by fear and anxiety and this magnetizes even more lack and scarcity energy to you from the Law of Attraction.”

“We experience whatever we choose to experience. Most people however have wishy-washy thoughts and they create a wishy-washy life.”

“People who are great at manifesting focus on expanding their consciousness. They know that their thoughts and words have great power and they do not get distracted by the lure of the material world. It is easier to manifest and to tap into the power of creation energy if you focus most of your attention and awareness on the Source level (Consciousness) rather than on the Effects level (material world). Although you also have to act once you set your intent, the more you focus on the source of what you want to create at the level of consciousness, the less physical third dimensional acts you will have to do.”

“The universe is oriented toward love not fear; toward cooperation not competition; toward being not doing; toward infinite expansion not limitation and toward sharing rather than taking. As you resonate and live more and more from a space of love, cooperation, sharing, being and expansion, you will find yourself going with the Flow of Creation rather than against the flow: Which means that the Universal Laws like the Law of Attraction will support you on your path and propel you forward. The more loving you become – the more magnetic you become to your highest good. Love is the force or glue that holds the Universe and the Field of Infinite Potentiality together.”

“Most human beings on the planet choose to live like they are victims or feel their life is dictated by others or fortune or fate or bad luck. And as long as people feel that their life is not under their control, they often will create a very limited reality. Masters know that they create their life and they take and assume responsibility for their life and co-creations, and choose a different reality when they don’t like their current one.”

“When you know from your heart – which is different than knowing from your mind – that you are totally responsible for your life and everything that you create – well that means that you have the power to create a life that works and supports you in all areas.”

“Two of our greatest gifts are our time and energy. What we do with that time and energy is important because whatever we focus our time and energy upon is magnified greatly via the Law of Attraction. This is why it is so important to expect the best and to stay as positive and upbeat as we can in any given moment. I often feel that the major reason that people fail with the Law of Attraction is that they give up too soon and succumb to doubt and pessimism.”

“For people who are not on a spiritual path, one of the biggest barriers to succeeding with the Law of Attraction is the emotional roller coaster of humanity. Most people are so scattered energetically by the emotional highs and lows of mass consciousness, that they cannot muster up enough energy to attain their goals. Also a lot of people not on a spiritual path, tend to live in the past and tend to recreate their past patterns rather than the present. Spiritual teachers teach meditation and talk a lot about the importance of being detached from the drama of mass consciousness because it is hard to create a good reality for yourself if you are discombobulated emotionally and constantly focus on, relive and recreate your past.”
