Being raised in a family where Money was often a measure of love was sometimes a very difficult thing. In fact, it made one not like Money so much. If giving money to each other was a measure of love. What happened to actually saying I love you. It wasn’t said that much in my family.
It is now though. It took several years of showing my parents that actually saying I love you was worth a lot of Money. Now, when Money is shared between family members the love is felt. 
As I am doing money alchemy sessions with clients, it often comes up that the relationship with Money is related to actually how we feel about ourselves. How did self love and worthiness become such an integral part of manifesting Money? As we know Money is energy, we flow love and appreciation towards Money when it comes in. Money enjoys that and flows to us more. But can we hold onto that Money? Many of us, myself included at one time, thought we needed to work hard for Money. We need to earn our Money, we need to struggle and work for every penny that comes in. But the Money doesn’t seem to want to stick around, so we work harder.
With several clients, I may not even talk about Money with you. I know you want to manifest Money otherwise you wouldn’t hire me as a Money coach. But we may just do self love practices for a month. We may just write out I am Worthy statements. (Which I am actually doing again this month as part of a practice for Good Vibe University) But as we do these practices, an internal shift occurs. We start to realize, wow, there some lack there, about loving ourselves. As we connect with our internal selves, and start loving ourselves. Money starts sticking around.
A correlation is there. We may even get an a-ha moment. What? If I love myself more- I know that I am worthy of receiving Money and love?
Play with it. You might see the connection as well. Just don’t even think about your need or want for Money. Let me know how it goes.
Good reading! I remember the moment I realized I really liked myself. I think that loving yourself has to begin with liking yourself. Love was never mentioned either in words, deeds, facial expression, or any other way in my family growing up. There just wasn’t any. It took many years for me to get to the point where I could look back and say: so what if they didn’t love me – look at all the people I’ve met who didn’t think that way, who found lots of things they liked about me. Hundreds of people all around the country, everywhere I went, liked me. And look at how far I’ve come. Others who had my background have done much less growing and thriving. I really LIKE who I’ve become! Loving yourself can take some real time and is not an instant presto chango thing. But it’s so worth it.
Agreed Karen. Liking oneself is so important. Even liking your friends… I love that you like yourself … and yes, loving yourself is such an amazing journey… who knew there was a link to Money . Thank you for your comments!
I love this – the more I take care of myself and my heart, the more money flows. Great post, Ming!
Thank you Amina! Appreciate the comments!
Great article, and so very true. In my childhood home “lack” was the name of the game and hard, sacrificial work was the only way to earn. The harder you worked, the better … to the point of complete disregard for your body, mind and spirit. I bought into this false belief for more than 40 decades. There wasn’t a shred of self-love in that. Fast forward, I refuse to kill myself for money now. I will step up, offer my divine gifts and I expect to be supported monetarily. Money loves me, and wants to shower me in more! I am worthy, because I am infinitely loved.
Amen Dana. Amen. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. 🙂
Thank you. This was an eye-opener for me. I have issues with money and self-love and self-worth. Never knew there was a connection. Money always comes in but somehow never seems to stick around.
Indrani, thank you so much for the comments and I am glad that you got an a-ha moment with it. You are half way there with just
awareness!
I’ve been practicing a new focus for the past few days and seeing a new perspective.
I too grew up with the notion that you don’t play until the work is done. Well, work was never done! So, there was very little play. And money was something to hoard, because it may not be there tomorrow.
Now, I play first, with my play, with my work and see everything as something I want to do! If I don’t see the “fun” in the situation at first, I look for something fun in it.
What has really been an inspiration, was when you Ming (and Amina uses this practice as well!) started offering your free money alchemy sessions and you were having so much fun at it!
That’s such an great way to make sure you are using your gifts with love…as in, what do I love doing and how can I offer it to the world and love every minute of it? Now, all kinds of ideas are coming up! Things I had even forgotten I LOVED!!!
It’s been quite FUN this week! And I felt a little bit of my spark returning! No longer a victim, but actually “choosing” how I want to live my life. Thanks for being a role model!
Yes its all about the love Mindy. Doing what we love, loving our clients. Right, when we step into our divine gifts,
the Universe backs us up. Thank you for your comments and reading!
I see this is an old post, but I came across it for a reason! Thank you for this. I am statements….YES!
Realizing really loving myself and KNOWING I am worthy is going to allow the money to flow. I can absolutely now see where I have “not feeling worthy” thoughts and “disappointed in myself” thoughts! These have not served me well!
I am statements are being written tonight! Oh yeah
Thank you for this!
Thank you Jen for stopping by! YAY for the I am statements! Yes, they do work, out thoughts are so powerful .!
