BUT I DON'T FEEL WEALTHY...
This is a very important topic for those of you who feel as if you are still struggling with financial concerns. There is a bit of a "catch" to attracting abundance when you are in fact truly poor in your bank account. As frustrating as it sounds, you can't get wealthy if you feel poor. I know, it's very challenging, but you have to find a way to FEEL wealthy! So how do you do it if you aren't flush with money or if the bills seem exceedingly high?
You move your attention to other subjects where you can conjure up the feeling of prosperity. So, let's say you are financially poor; there is no disputing this fact. You must find an area in your life where you can genuinely point to abundance. Then you must focus on it, and then really get into the feeling of it. This will change your vibration to feeling wealthy. Once you feel wealthy, you can start attracting the wealth (of money, friends, opportunities) that you want in your life.
So here are the steps:
(1) Choose a subject/area of your life, where you feel wealthy and abundant now. (friends, books, your stamp collection...)
(2) Talk about it, write about it, think about it.
(3) Notice the change in your vibration.
(4) Keep your focus here, (not on the shrinking funds.)
(5) Really FEEL this vibration of enough, plenty, abundance...
Do this every day.
PAST NEWSLETTERS
I highly recommend that newcomers review past issues of this newsletter. Reading them and tapping along will help you break through comfort zones very quickly. Past newsletters can be viewed by going to the following page: http://www.attractingabundance.com/newsletters/.
Below you will find EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, But I Don't Feel Wealthy.
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
"Even though I don't feel wealthy in any area of my life, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway."
"Even though I'm afraid I will never be or feel wealthy, I choose to feel rich enough right now."
"Even though I feel poor and don't expect it to change, I choose to notice the amazing abundance and prosperity in my life."
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)
***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: "As usual, I feel very poor."
Side of Eye: "I don't have enough of what I want."
Under Eye: "I'm afraid I won't ever be wealthy."
Nose: "I don't know how to get wealthy."
Chin: "What if nothing changes?"
Collarbone: "I don't know how to feel or be rich."
Under Arm: "I don't know how others do it!"
Head: "I feel desperate about my finances!"
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: "I love knowing we are all meant to be abundant."
Side of Eye: "I know there are many areas in my life full of joy and prosperity."
Under Eye: "I appreciate the abundance I already have in certain areas of my life."
Nose: "I choose to believe we are all worthy of abundance."
Chin: "I enjoy recognizing the prosperity in my life."
Collarbone: "I choose to see all the opulence around me."
Under Arm: "I am grateful for all the abundance and love in my life."
Head: "I love knowing that receiving abundance is good for me, for you and for all of us."
Then tap on the following phrases (repeated from the last newsletter) as you complete one more round:
I love knowing we all deserve abundance...
I choose to believe in the guidance I am receiving...
I appreciate the prosperity in my life...
I love appreciating my friends...
I'm grateful for all the new opportunities for abundance...
I feel free to appreciate my life...
I appreciate exactly who I am...
I am so grateful for my newfound belief in prosperity.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS:
Recommendation:
I am including the same Abundance Game I used in the last issue. It is very worthwhile, so I encourage those of you who might have skipped it last time, to try it now.
CASH COMFORT: Here is a fun game to try: Write out a check made payable to yourself for 10,000 dollars. Notice what feelings you have about this, what doubts you feel about whether depositing this amount in your account is possible or not. Tap on any feelings you have while holding this check in your hand. Then move up in dollar amounts... Write the next check out for 25,000 dollars, then 50,000 dollars, then 100,000 dollars, then 1,000,000 dollars, all the while tapping on the anxious feelings you have about receiving this amount of money.
If you feel as if you do not deserve the money, you have identified a clear block that you need to neutralize before any more money is going to materialize in your life. Use tapping phrases such as "Even though I still don't feel deserving..."
Remember what the metaphysical texts say about consciousness: You will attract into your exterior life what you are vibrating in your internal consciousness. If you see yourself as someone who never makes more than 50,000 dollars a year, that's what will manifest in your life.
Pay close attention to the feelings that surface while you are writing out these checks. (Some of you will need to start with smaller amounts such as 500 or 1,000.) The point is to get so relaxed while holding these large checks made payable to you, that you loosen any resistance you have about accepting financial abundance.
Tip:
Let's Pretend: This tip falls into the category of "so simple" that people tend to dismiss it. This works nicely with the above suggestions for how to feel wealthy even when you're not. Pretend you have one of those wonderful "things" you want in your life. Let's say it's a new house or apartment. Imagine that you have this new home now, but ignore how you got the money or how you bought the house. What you need to focus on is the feeling you get because you are acting as if you already have it. (Of course you can do this exercise around the issue of your health or a partner as well!)
So FEEL what it feels like to be living in this wonderful house. When the yes, but's intrude, ignore them and go back to feeling the joy of being in this fabulous home. Some of you may want to start smaller, with having a new outfit, with being out of debt, or with enjoying your new car. Whichever you choose, remember, focus on the feeling of having it and enjoying it, not how you are going to get it. I believe that is one of the biggest mistakes people make: focusing on how they are going to travel rather than the glorious feeling of having arrived.
This next tip is also from the last newsletter. I was surprised by how many people don't have EFT as part of their daily routine, so I chose to repeat it.
Set aside 5 minutes, 3 times a day and tap on any uncomfortable feelings you have had throughout your day. Tap for any remaining anger at your boss, irritation with your spouse, annoyance at the kids, and anxiety about work, money or your health, etc. The point is to make tapping a routine in your life. This is such a simple tip and so worthwhile, but many people resist it due to blocks about getting over their emotional conflicts. Do you have blocks about getting well? Getting better? Becoming more financially stable? Keep tapping...
Other tips, recommendations and games can be found in my e-book, "Attracting Abundance with EFT."
