Money, the Other M Word

What comes to mind when you think of money?  There was a time in my life when I had no idea how I'm going to pay rent and put food on the table and some how it all worked out.  But despite this, money showing up out of no where, being a rather predictable occurrence I find that I'm still worried about money.  So recently I decided to do a deep dive on what is fueling this chatter in my monkey mind.  Money is a medium of exchange.  More then that though money is necessary in duality, in separation.  When we truly belief that I am this body and the other bodies that I see around me are separate from me, the need for money persists.  Because if I am separate then I must protect and take care of me, whatever I have defined as me or an important part of my world will be my priority.  When I identify with my body and play in duality and separation, there is really no amount of wisdom or mental shift that can eradicate my insecurities around money.  I may feel calm when I have a certain amount of money in the bank but when that amount starts to dwindle so does my peaceful veneer. There are some mindset shifts that I've used that have started to shift my relationship with money: - Connect with yourself deeply.  Connect with the core of yourself.  When you are truly connected with yourself you may find that the things you really want are not necessarily the things you think you want. - Remember who you truly are.  You are part of One.  We all are part of One.  Remember this oneness that is truly the fabric of reality and let go of this duality experiment. - What you truly want is also doing it's best to find it's way to you.   - Money is love.  Money lovingly supports you to play this game of separation.  Money is the love that the universe has for you if only you can stop sabotaging yourself. - Don't think in terms of how much money you want or need, that creates more separation.  Imagine what experience you want to have to enrich and nourish yourself.  Focus on the love you have for yourself rather then the anxiety of not having enough.
