02 - New Concept of Money

Welcome back. We are so excited about the energy of money, but the new energy. Welcome back. We want to share with you a new concept of money. When I was growing up, money was viewed in my awareness as power over other people. It was part of the culture. It was part of. You went to college so that you would have more value. And as you had more value, you had more status. And as you had more status, you had more money. And as you had more money, you had more power. And it was a power over. And as I feel back into my ancestors, that's what money meant. It was power over other people. And now we want to engage around an energy where the power of money is very different. It's a power with. And in fact, it's all about spoons.

Use this analogy. We talked in the last video about how money is not inherently bad. We're not born with shame or guilt around money, but we can have really strange views about it. So let's take a spoon, an innocent spoon. Most of us don't have really strong feelings. Yeah, they're useful. We can eat ice cream or soup with them. But we don't really have a lot of guilt or shame in general about spoons. But imagine that we grew up in a culture where anyone who had a spoon could hit the other person. I have a spoon. He doesn't. I can hit him. I can hit him on his head. I can hit him on his arm. I have this power. This is power. Yes. So people kind of get feelings around spoons. I don't. You know, like, if I don't want to be hit, you know, if Rick gets a spoon, I might get a bigger one.

Oh. And see, I immediately see that my spoon is your inferiority. Yeah. I need to shrink. Right, to reflect the size of my.

Spoon or the amount of your bank account.

Exactly.

So this is actually really smart. In the time when most of our culture was forming, say the Middle Ages was a big time where we got a lot of concept of money and power. You were born into a certain class status and you were pretty stuck there. You couldn't move. Your grandparents were there, everybody was there. And there was no way to change how much money you had. You couldn't get a bigger spoon. Pretty much the only way was to go to war and hope that you survived. And the king noticed and maybe gave you a castle or something where you would have serfs that served you. And they were put down as like they were. They had to give up their freedom and a lot of their abundance. The work they did the energy they did to you so that you could have a nice big castle. So the fact that you've been avoiding money and feeling like you don't want to embrace it is really, really smart. Because if you're basing that on that old power over, it shows you have an incredible amount of integrity. If you've been conflicted and struggling about money, this may be a really big part of it. Because if you knew you didn't want to have power over, you didn't want to beat someone to have a bigger spoon and to enjoy your spoon or to have a big bank account, then it's brilliant that you rejected it. It shows that you're someone who loves freedom and wants to create things. The really cool thing is we get to have a different way of being in this society now. There are still people that do power over with money. They do, but money is also energy. It's stored energy. So before Rick and I sat down and we spent several days going over the survey results you'd sent us about your questions about finances. And we spent time going through it and trying to figure out what we needed to teach to give you the biggest change in the shortest amount of time. This course didn't exist. We're creating something from nothing, and we're working with you so that you can take your guilt, your shame, your fears, and transform them into something that allows you to have a really beautiful relationship with abundance. So we're creating something new. When we create money that way, whether you're a teacher teaching children how to have a delightful way of coping with the world, or an engineer out there creating something new that will help someone make a phone call, or if you go around, you're cleaning homes to make them more beautiful for people, you're actually creating something. And when that energy flows back to you in the form of money, it's really a beautiful way of being. It's a way of enjoying the energy you put in at a later time. It's basically frozen energy and joy from the person that you did this work for.

So we'd like to do some tapping right now around the feeling that you get about money being power over. See, because as I look at these spoons, if I'm not being hit by them, right, Abused by someone with a spoon. I think my spoon is different than her spoon. Her spoon would be great for ladling soup or yummy other things out of a big pot. Mine's good for getting into bars.

It'd be hard to eat out of these.

Yeah, we've got variety in our assets, our capabilities and our hearts. And so like Kathy said, if this has been a conflict for you, a shackle around power over, chances are you've had some experiences, you've had some experiences in your life, maybe even just in a movie where you saw that someone was using money as power over. You may have had a boss that was one of those kinds of bossy, boss, power hungry people and just want to to tune into that. And what happens below your nose, in your body, in your body as you scan down, what happens in your body as you tune into the power over money is power over a lot of.

The sayings that we resist. The meek will inherit the earth. It's easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get to heaven. Those, I think, come from that old concept of money, the power over where you had to take from other people to have. So if you can just notice your body as you think of that, imagine having money that you had to get by forcing someone else to give it.

To you or whacking them with a spoon.

Yeah. And to me that feels awful. I don't want it. I don't feel delighted to be around money.

Yeah. So let's do some tapping. With this kind of tapping around an ancestral energy, it is useful to have again a sensation in the body. And if you're not feeling anything, that's okay too. That's a sensation going blank. Frozen shackles are cold and rusty and nasty. So as I tune into it, I feel it in my chest. Where do you feel it?

And as we do the tapping, feel your feet on the floor, Feel your butt in the chair. Get present with your body and notice how your fingertips feel as they tap your body. That will help you be really present with the now and the things that you want to shift.

Yes. Would you like to lead us in some tapping?

Sure. Take a nice deep breath. Karate chop. Even though my primitive brain has been avoiding money like crazy, Even though my.

Primitive brain has been avoiding money like crazy.

And I have all these guilts and.

Shames about it, and I have all these guilts and shames about it, a.

Lot of them are built on the old concept of money.

And if I just shift to this.

New concept, and if I just shift to this new concept, a lot of.

Them don't feel so intense.

Those shackles don't feel so tight.

Top of the head. I've had a lot of shackles around money.

Eyebrow. No wonder I've struggled so much.

Side of the eye. I thought there was something wrong with me.

Me under the eye. I thought I was doing something wrong.

I thought I was doing something wrong under the nose.

But maybe I just had an outdated concept.

Chin. And now I can release those old shackles.

And now I can release those old shackles.

Collarbone. And start developing a new relationship with money.

And start developing a new relationship with money.

And there. Maybe money's really delightful.

Top of that. Maybe I can let it in.

And maybe I can let it in.

Take a nice deep breath. And if you can realize that the ancestors who passed you, the shackles, were doing the best they knew how. A lot of times it's easy to blame them for giving us information that's three or four hundred years out of date, but the truth is, they probably weren't given doorways to learn that it's different. And you are doing something really special right now. By being here. You're making a difference and changing your ancestral pathway. You're welcome to send this energy forward in time and backwards in time and clear that lineage.

So tune in again to your body. And there is. If you were raised along the sea, there were rules about how to live along the sea, about fishing and everything else. What to watch out for, what to watch out for, where the threats in danger were. And if you were living in a hierarchy, if you didn't appear that you had your shackles in place, it would have been risky. And I want to honor the fact that most of us, again, have had experiences where people have used their wealth and or their money or that the money flows through them as a paycheck or something like that in a way that wasn't in this new concept. And our body, our primitive brain, needs encouragement and reminder and acknowledgement and appreciation. And that's what we incorporate in the tapping. So I'd like to do some more tapping with that karate chop. Even though I have felt this shackle.

Even though I felt the shackle.

And I do not want to be in a position of having power over.

People, and I do not want to be in the position of having power.

Over people to mistreat them in order to have more money, to mistreat them.

In order to have more money.

I honor and respect myself for that.

I honor and respect myself for that.

And I want a new model of the money energy.

And I want a new model of the money energy.

One where we're co creating when we're co creating. That would be different.

That would be so different.

Where we're equals.

Where we're equals.

Even if our spoons are different sizes.

And colors, Even if our spoons are.

Different sizes and colors, we can still do something together.

We can still do something together.

And that feels a lot freer to my heart and soul.

That feels a lot freer to my heart and soul.

Top of the head. I'm not looking for power over.

I'm not looking for power over.

But money means power over people.

But money means power over people.

It always has.

It always has.

Under the eye. It always will.

It always will.

Really?

Really, Jen?

We can't change that.

We can't change that.

Hold on. We can't change what pieces of paper.

Mean we can't change what pieces of.

Paper mean under the arm. I'm open to a different way of relating to money.

I'm open to a different way of relating to money.

Top of the head. One that feels authentically right for me.

One that feels authentically right. Feel for me. Very few people look at money this closely. Very few people are conscious at the level that you are right now. You've done a fantastic job by showing up, listening to this and tapping along. We're so proud of you. Because by getting conscious about how you deal with money, you get to say, hmm, that doesn't feel an integrity. This does. And you start naturally having better boundaries and better choices around money. When this isn't scary stuff filled with guilt and shame, it starts being fun to deal with. You're not trying to throw it away, get rid of it, or hide that you have it. You start going, oh, it's actually kind of pretty. And someone put a lot of artistic work in it, even if it's not my taste. And you start appreciating what you can exchange it for, you start feeling the frozen energy in it that's available for you to use, stored for the next time you need it. And that gives you a way of relating with money that lets the universe know you'd like a lot more in your life. So if you just tune in for just a second, imagine that this is filled with shame. Guilt. It makes you feel bad and conflicted every time you look at it. You don't know what decisions to make about it, you feel confused. Are you sending out a delighted, pleased energy to the universe?

Can't.

You can't. No matter how hard you try, no matter. Even if you tap a lot, if.

It'S still got that energy in it.

Yeah. Until you release the energy about it.

You don't want it around you don't.

So we know people all the time, and I've been there where you struggled and you. One, one week I'd be budgeted really tight and not spending a cent. The next week I'd blow it all. I was so conflicted. Once you start having a good relationship with this, you start feeling the abundance, the thoughtfulness, the integrity that went into creating this vehicle. I don't want to walk around with five goats every time I need to buy something. This is a brilliant way to convey energy. It's very efficient.

It is.

When you start feeling that abundance and that creativity, it's really easy to let it around you.

But again, going back, this program is about letting go of the guilt and shame. So if you have a chance to grab some money and hold onto it for a moment and just feel how it feels in your body, and let's do some tapping again on the guilt and shame that you might feel. And we're not being very specific here, and that's okay. It's conditioning. Remember, our ancestors were conditioned around money from the time that they were born by people who had been conditioned about money from the time that they were born. And we inherited that. And what we're doing is we're taking and reinvesting our energy in writing a new story, a new energy around money, so we can do some. Do some tapping, feel your feet on the floor, maybe look at the money. Imagine having more of it. Imagine someone handing it to you. Even though I'm not completely comfortable with.

This, even though I'm not completely comfortable.

With this, aren't I supposed to be ashamed about money?

Aren't I supposed to be ashamed about money?

Aren't I supposed to be guilty?

Aren't I supposed to be guilty for wanting it?

For wanting it, for enjoying it. For enjoying it, for wanting to have more of it.

For wanting to have more of it?

I'm pretty sure that that's the rule.

I'm pretty sure that that's the rule.

I invite my body and my mind to look at that rule carefully.

I invite my body and my mind to look at that rule carefully and.

Even make new associations.

And even make new associations.

Top of head. I'm not allowed to make new associations.

I'm not allowed to make new associations.

Eyebrow. What if I am?

What if I am?

Side of the eye. I'm letting go of some of this.

Guilt and shame I'm letting go of some of this guilt and shame under the eye.

I'm open to feeling surprisingly comfortable with money.

I'm open to feeling surprisingly comfortable with money.

That would be totally different.

That would be totally different.

My grandfather might not approve My grandfather.

Might not approve Calibone.

Money was hard for them.

Money was hard for them.

And I'm open for it to being different way from me.

And I'm open it for for it to be a different way for me.

Even though part of me feels really anxious about that.

Even though part of me feels really anxious about that. We'll be going deeper into shame and guilt in another module. We want to encourage you to keep showing up. This can be challenging. You can be noticing things that are coming up for you. It can be scary to face some of these beliefs and to say that mom and dad might be wrong or grandma and grandpa might be wrong. Just realize they were doing the best they could and people that love us want us to have more abundance as long as it's safe. And we're going to show you how to do this in a very safe, loving way. So keep showing up, keep doing gentle tapping, you're going to make a huge difference for yourself and everyone around you. Great job.
