Money is Energy and Reflection of Actualized Potential

M had a great blog with how Money is Energy and I wanted to post part of my response here because until I wrote it, I’m not sure I’d ever expressed this notion:

I’ve mentioned one of my favorite lines is “bank in the bank, not in your head.”

That doesn’t mean don’t feel it, or visualize – quite the opposite. It just adds: “make it real.”

I shared the story with M of a friend I have who has struggled with debt her whole life.

She’s quite successful, but continues to do the same things over and over again, thinking “this time, if I change the energy, the outcome will be different” The thing is, she doesn’t really change the energy – she tries to pretend she’s changed it, but really she’s still plugged into the same patterns because she still holds very tightly to her idea about what she’s willing to do and not do, allow and not allow.

I used the story of another friend to illustrate this point further.

She moved to LA to become an actress just after school. About a year into her LA experience, we were having a conversation where she mentioned the Universe not showing up for her. She was talking about how there just wasn’t any acting work, and how it was so hard to get an acting job.

I asked her what her agent thought.

She told me that she didn’t have an agent.

I asked her if I could see her headshots (something you need to get an agent as well as for auditions).

She hadn’t gotten them yet.

I asked her how class was going?

She told me she didn’t sign up because the one she chose and wanted to take was during her shift at the restaurant.

You can see that it wasn’t the universe “not showing up.”

Money is Energy and Reflection of Actualized Potential, back to banking

Sometimes, when people have stickiness around money, they try and make it NOT about money. They make it about trust or living in the now. And those two things are very often collapsed in there. But they forget an important thing. They look at saving as lack, and they look at debt as lack… So either way, they find themselves in lack.

It becomes a scenario where a lottery win or magical sky fall is the only thing they can perceive as bringing real change, which creates an energy where money becomes “the answer.” This is where the collapse happens, like with my first friend: She feels how good it would feel to have money – not because she’s genuinely committed to happiness, but because she’s trying to play a game where she “wins” by creating money.

Money is just energy, but so many people get wrapped up in IT and forget that IT is an illusion. What money really represents is the energy and reflection of actualized potential – whether that actualization is from “physical” work or change or “energy” work or change, etc.

I mentioned in my response to Martina the idea of saving money: It’s okay to save money. A lot of people feel like “I’ll live in the now and trust and that’s all that matters…” all the while, really disliking living paycheck to paycheck and feeling frustrated… “If I could only get ahead…”

What I want to stress here is that it’s all about the energy behind whatever you’re doing: if you’re saving because there is not enough, then that may not be the highest vibration. If you’re saving while staying in the moment of how good it will feel for whatever the end result is, it doesn’t feel like saving, it feels like creating and building – and that’s where you can change your whole money template 🙂

…food for thought 😉
