Heart Work Checklist! 


_____Do you generally feel happy, but feel like your gifts are being underused or wasted supporting someone else.




_____Do you feel constricted in your body or mind at work or in certain professional relationships?




_____Are you beginning to worry that your childhood dreams may not be fulfilled if you continue of the road you are on?




_____Is your physical and mental health suffering because of your current job or related relationships?




______Are you in a pattern of go-go-go and then crash?




______Do you have a nagging feeling that there MUST be something more?




If you answered a resounding YES to 3 or more of these questions then you may very well be at a perfect energetic state to make a quantum shift in your life to live more joy, love and peace through creating your “heart work!” 




Woo hoo!  The world needs you!

1) Think about your financial situation.  Now breathe and scan your body…where do you feel constriction, resistance or density? This is probably where you are holding your beliefs and energy about money in your body.  (I held mine on my left side between my stomach and my heart…stuck between power/discipline chakra and love chakra!)  Bring awareness to this area of your body when you are dealing with situations involving money. Breathe into it and release it by directing healing energy towards it.

2) Write down all your beliefs about money and the people that have it (or don’t have it).  See blog entry Transparency and The Energy of Money for my examples. :)

3) Find a reason to be thankful for each of your limiting or undesirable beliefs.  What have they taught you and what is of value moving forward into financial freedom!

4) Align your financial freedom with what you TRULY VALUE!!!  If it’s time with loved ones…how will having money afford you more time with loved ones!  If it’s spiritual growth…how will financial freedom allow for exponential growth of spirit!  If it’s lattes and green smoothies made by someone besides you so be it! :) Begin to FEEL your inside world and outside world aligning!  Ahhhhhhh! Now smile. :)

I have hit my limit...literally!  I overdrew my checking account for the last time yesterday!  That's right folks, I'm laying out there for everyone to see because I'm so sick and tired of living this way (and I know many of you are as well)! 

I have spent the last decade meditating, learning, reading and writing about...honing and shaping my internal world and the last year helping others to do the same...BUT, I have strategically neglected, ignored, and straight up refused to look at my inner workings and beliefs around money!  Why? 

Because …

• You cannot be spiritual and have money!
• If you are rich, you don’t care about people….(just look at our world, right?!)
• I can’t relate to people who have money.
• To be poor is to connect authentically and empathize with people.
• If I have money, no one will have to “take care” of me anymore and my family will fall apart (ouch…that one hurt a little to write).

So there it is!  My inner blocks to creating a sustainable and desired income in my life! 

And here is the hilarious thing…I overdrew my account at the one time during the year I had and have PLENTY of money to pay for all bills plus some!  And still, I miss managed, ignored, neglected and refused to LOOK at my finances because as we all now know by my internal money thermometer…money (according to Leslie) is the root of all that is evil and wrong with people! 

Well all I can say (and this was my big aha! this week) is THANK YOU!

Thank you for moments of poverty for teaching me about what I really value in this life!

Thank you “pay check to pay check” for teaching me to consume responsibly and to live simply so other may simply live!

Thank you for the jobs that paid me a small percentage of what I and the job was worth, for you led me to search my soul for my true worth and passion.

Thank you to my parents and generations before them who unwittingly transmitted these beliefs, for they provided me with many opportunities to empathize with, acknowledge the dignity of and genuinely communicate with  people no matter how rejected and alien they may seem to society.

Thank you…and I now officially release all the struggling and scarcity!  I am ready to FULLY embrace a world of abundance and unlimited potential…not just within my soul but on the outside as well, in this incredibly beautiful, exquisite earthly realm! 

I’m ready to be able to

• educate my children in a manner that is worthy of their souls,
• travel, visit with and celebrate  family and friends I have been disconnected from through distance, 
• be able to buy a gosh darn latte whenever I feel like it :),
  
• invest exclusively in local farmers and business owners who value sustainability and
  
•  invest in my own learning and evolution and that of all those I am here to serve!

But especially, as a woman, a teacher, a healer and a mother…I embrace this outer abundance manifest as money, power and influence in order to redistribute the resources and wealth on this planet!

Now, don't worry, this hippie soul still looks forward to a the day (hopefully in my lifetime) when our gifts and talents are exchanged equally in community and we are valued just for being human!  A time when everyone has more than enough and enjoys enough inner and outer freedom to embrace the cycle of giving and receiving effortlessly

but...

until that day I will honor the place and time I was planted and accept any and all outer (and inner) abundance the Universe would gift me! 

I’m all in for love AND money $!
