Money is Energy
Money is energy. Simply put. The older and wiser we get, the more we realize that they are one and the same. And, like other forms of energy, there are laws and guiding principles that explain its flow.
As founders of a start-up, we've had to get used to our share of ebb and flow, otherwise known as instability. Practical methods for managing money are fundamental and essential, but a higher understanding of money's energy allows us to shed limiting beliefs and create true and lasting abundance.
It's important to acknowledge these practices, as money may be the single greatest source of stress and conflict in our world. Befriend money, don't fear for its lack and open yourself up to the possibilities that money may afford you.
We are lucky to have forward-thinking friends and advisors who have shared their visionary-yet-practical techniques for creating abun-dance. We're still growing (we always will be), but see a profound shift when we practice these principles consistently.
MONEY FLOWS: With the rise of electronic modes of payment, it's easy to see that money can be intangible, a mere idea, yet, very real.
If you are in business or simply trying to build a life of abundance, you will undoubtedly experience the highs and lows of cash flow. Recognizing this natural pattern and becoming comfortable with its ways allows you to ride the wave, knowing that, when funds are tight, there will be more to come. Practice faith, and exercise your ability to weather the storm.
KNOW THE WHY: Vision boards, wish lists and unlimited thinking encourage us to shoot for the stars. And, we couldn't agree more, but, as we visualize our wants, we ask ourselves why.
When there is a strong mission or a "why" behind any goal, it holds exponential power.
Desires that do not align with the greater good, or your mission, may not be worth the real estate on your vision board. Meditate on what you truly want, and why. When your wants are aligned with your personal North Star, the universe will conspire to help you receive them.
ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE: Once you're clear about your desires, get in the habit of repeating them. Say them out loud, or write them down. Don't be shy. Ask the universe for what you want. So often, manifesting simply boils down to that.
GIVING THANKS: A universal theme, giving thanks, once again proves its worth. Simply do it. Wake up, and thank the universe for what you have, for the love and riches already in your life and for all that's to come. It works.
TITHING: A long-held practice in almost every faith, tithing works. Technically, tithing is the practice of giving 10 percent of your income to your church or spiritual organization, though many have expanded this to include meaningful charities. Nothing links your personal success to the interest of the greater good so clearly as tithing. Money is energy.
To get started, pick a cause that's important to you. And, if 10 percent terrifies you, start smaller. Try 5 percent, or even less.
