Money should flow freely

This is another basic principle of wealth: money should flow.

Money is basically just like blood, it needs to circulate.

Hoarding cash and hanging on to it – either in thought or action – is like allowing blood to clot, with all the risks that entails. So long as your blood is flowing freely, you’re in good health. When the blood circulation slows and clots form, disease sets in.

When money is flowing freely in your life, you are financially healthy. When you start to hoard it, keeping it in a safe, trembling with fear at the idea of it not being there, then you have a financial disease.

You must understand that money is the vital energy that you exchange as a result of the service you provide to others and the Universe, and which you use to meet your own wants and desires. And for it to continue to come to you, to proliferate, you must keep it circulating constantly. So keep the money that comes into your life flowing, so that even more money can come back to it.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that saving is a bad thing, so long as you go about it the right way. The idea of saving in a healthy mind, focused on the achievement of an aim, doesn’t not block the circulation of money or the universal cosmic energy. Some people think, quite rightly, that having some money put away gives you a feeling of security in case of uncertain times ahead.

   But it’s important to draw a line between two behaviours originating in two types of emotion. There are two very different sides to the motivation that drives us to cut back our spending:

-         One is based on the negative emotion of fear, which tends to block the free circulation of energy.

-         The other is based on the positive emotion of love, which encourages the circulation of energy.

   For some people who are fearful - "putting something aside for a rainy day"- is enough. But how damaging to the inspiration to live in the continual fear of rainy days!

What danger for our mental and spiritual wellbeing, for our spirit of initiative, enterprise and liberty! In such a case, it’s better not to make any savings at all…

   For others, saving money on a regular basis will serve them well as they seek to please themselves and others – for example a desire to go on holiday, make a trip, move to another town, afford a car, pay for their children’s education, etc.

   So there’s no conflict in the essence of life, love and sharing; rather it serves to nourish projects and dreams in a positive and constructive way.

How can you make sure money is flowing freely in your life? Use positive thought: take a short phrase that you can easily instil in your subconscious mind and repeat it over and over again, like a lullaby. This is the one I suggest:

"I consciously declare that money flows freely and joyfully in my life and there is always a divine surplus. Money runs freely towards me and I use it wisely, cautiously and constructively"
