You may not know this about me, but I am (among other
things) a classical Feng Shui consultant.
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art and science of analyzing the
energies in a home, workplace or commercial space and their impact on those who
live or work there. When the energies
are out of balance, changes are recommended to create the necessary balance and
harmony.
When I opened my business in 2007, I very quickly gained a
clientele among holistic practitioners, helping them to set up their treatment
rooms and clinic spaces for healing and prosperity.
One of the things I noticed was that those in the healing
professions often undercharged for their services, or gave them away for
free. They had a very deeply-rooted
belief that you shouldn’t make money from doing healing work, or at least, not
a lot of money.
This is, of course, completely untrue. Each of us is gifted with certain talents and
abilities and we received them for a reason – to be of service to others.
You wouldn’t expect to see a lawyer and not pay for their
services. So why should those whose work
involves healing not expect to be paid as well?
There is no such thing as a “one-sided equation”. Each party must contribute something to the
transaction. One person provides the
service and the other provides payment in exchange for the benefits they have
received.
There is a spiritual conflict that many holistic
practitioners (and others) wrestle with and I would like to address the whole
issue of spirituality and money.
Money is energy. In
and of itself it is neither good nor bad…it just is.
Spirit is our higher self expressed through our human
experience and while money is not a requirement for living in the realm of spirit,
it most certainly is required to
purchase food, clothing, a roof over our heads and all that is necessary to
preserve and improve our lives and the lives of those we care about.
In the Bible, God blessed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
with plenty…everywhere they turned there was abundance – it was their natural
environment.
Just as a fish doesn’t question the water it swims in, or
wonder if there is enough water, or if it is using too much water, we shouldn’t
be concerned about the abundance that is our birthright.
When you use your spiritual and personal gifts and talents
in the service of others, and receive fair payment in exchange, you increase
your financial resources. More money
means you have more to use in support of those causes you care about.
In other words, the more you earn, the more you can share
with others.
Money is not only energy, it is creative energy. How much more could you create with
additional money at your disposal?
When you think about it in this way, isn’t it our
responsibility to be successful financially?
Why not try thinking about money as a tangible expression of
how much service you are giving to others?
The more service you provide, the more your bank balance
improves. The more financial resources
you have, the more you can do in the service of others.
Instead of seeing a “catch-22”, see it as an elegant
expression of infinity.
Can you have money and still be spiritual? My answer is a resounding ‘YES!’
If you are struggling with money issues, and especially
becoming comfortable with receiving and having more money, I am here to help
you.

“My bounty is as
boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee the more I have,
for both are infinite.” ~ Juliet, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
