Lately, it seems like the
\nlist of society’s “money disorders” seems to be growing by the day. Common money issues today include: compulsive shopping, financial infidelity, debt addiction,
\nhoarding, money phobia, compulsive
\ngambling, financial enabling, and chronic under-earning.  <\/p>\n

What can we do about this? Perhaps it’s time for a little
\nmoney therapy. If we have a plumbing problem, we don’t hesitate to call
\na plumber. If we have a health problem, we go see the doctor. If we
\nhave money issues, we deserve the help and advice of a professional,
\ntoo. <\/p>\n

Money affects every aspect of our lives,
\nand yet we know very little about our personal relationship to it. Isn’t it time we began to heal our relationship with money?<\/p>\n

As
\nwe
\nbecome more aware of our own money patterns and behaviors, we can
\nbegin to make new, healthier choices. This would be a great first step
\ntoward creating a new financial legacy for ourselves and our children.
\nA legacy built on self-awareness, knowledge and power instead of
\nstress, fear, mistrust or dependence.
\nBut first
\nwe must each begin to understand and heal our own relationship with
\nmoney.<\/p>\n

What
\nis money and what does it really
\nmean to you? From my personal point of view, money is a powerful energy
\nforce and medium of exchange. It is a tool and resource that I receive
\nas a direct result of the actions and contributions that I put forth in
\nthe world. It flows in and out of my life in direct relationship to my
\nefforts and intentions. Whenever I feel fearful or anxious about money,
\nI spend time in prayer and meditate on what inside me needs attending
\nto and address those needs proactively.<\/p>\n

What
\ndoes money mean to you? How does it influence, positively or
\nnegatively, your quality of life? I’d love to hear your comments.<\/p>\n

Here’s a prayer for today.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Dear God,
I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to
\nyour Divine care and love. I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties
\nand fears about money, and replace them with faith. I know and trust
\nthat my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life. I have only
\nto look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide. I release
\nall negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true
\nstate. I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life. I
\nlearn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed. And
\nfinally, I ask you to help me to understand my purpose in life and to
\nact on that purpose with courage and strength. I know that prosperity
\nwill come, in part, by doing work I love. Please help me use my skills
\nand knowledge to be of service in the world.
Thank you, God. Amen <\/p>\n

~Lynn A.
\nRobinson, M.Ed.<\/p>\n
