Do you have all the money you need? Can you buy everything you want? Is money constantly finding its way to you like a magnet? If you answered "No" to any of these questions, chances are your 'Money Faucet' isn't running at full capacity. In other words, you probably don't have the pipes clear so money can flow easily into (and out of! - more on this in a moment) your life. You've heard me say this before, and it's really important, so I'll say it again - when it comes to Law of Attraction, how you feel about something determines what shows up in your life. So when you go out to buy that big-screen television, or the expensive jewelry, what are you feeling? Are you saying, "Wow, this is AWESOME, I really deserve this! And I know when I spend money, money comes right back to me." Or is your inner dialogue more like, "Wow, this is a big purchase, I'm not sure I should be spending my money on this. I probably should consider something cheaper, this is really going to take a bite out of my savings." Both are 'wows', but the feelings that accompany each are born on opposite ends of the earth.

When examining your personal relationship with money, it's important to recognize your true starting point - are your feelings rooted in the rich soil of abundance, or the barren dirt of lack? An easy way to check in with your dominant vibes about money is to ask yourself, "How do I feel about my monetary situation right now?" Since money tends to be a pretty potent topic, your thoughts will likely race off in one direction or another. If that particular question brings feelings of ease and gratitude, it's safe to say your operating from a mode of abundance. If your first thought goes to your sparse bank account, or to bills you need to pay... well, I don't have to tell you, do I?

For many of us, our vibrations about money are often mixed. On one hand, we know to be grateful for what we have - food on our plate, clothes on our back. Yet on the other hand, it's easy to look around and notice others who have more than us - people who toss around money as though it's in never-ending supply. Well, I've got news for you: There IS an unlimited supply of money - the only difference between you and 'those' people is they completely and unwaveringly believe this to be true.

If you think there's not enough money, then guess what? There won't be enough money. With Law of Attraction, "Your wish is my command" (James Arthur Ray, 'The Secret'), and whatever you believe to be true will materialize in your reality. So one launching point might come in shifting your view about what you consider 'enough'. Someone I once worked with said, "People don't need as much as they think they need." I found this statement to be extremely empowering, as it really challenged my belief that something was missing in my life. When I began to understand I really do have everything I need right now, the door was open for receiving even more.

Another way to open the floodgate for attracting money is - are you ready for this? - to spend money! When the check arrives at a restaurant, are you the type who waits for someone else to offer, or is yours the first credit card on the table? Of course, I'm not insinuating you spend beyond your means. All I'm saying is by being generous with money, you start the cycle for money to flow back to you. In essence, you're telling the Universe money is plentiful - that you're comfortable spending some of your cash, because you have every belief that more will come to you in return.

People who hoard money are telling the Universe the exact opposite. Since they're always in 'protection' (scarcity) mode, the Universe picks up their signal that there isn't enough to go around, and answers by (you guessed it) having money slip away from them. Remember, Law of Attraction isn't necessarily concerned with what you want or don't want - rather, it gives you exactly what you're vibrating. In other words, if you're intensely focused on not losing money (and even though you don't want to lose it), it processes your feelings as lose money.

Feelings. That's what this stuff is all about. So really ask yourself, "What are my feelings about money?" And if you find your dominant thoughts come from a place of scarcity, it's time to shift your beliefs. Simply adopting the view that there's enough money to go around will set you off on the right path. Gratitude - noticing all the money which flows into your life on a daily basis (i.e. someone buys you a cup of coffee, you find a dollar on the ground, etc) - will help strengthen those beliefs. And shifting any negative vibes when they surface will keep your attraction-aura clean, so you are able to magnetize all the money you want. You've always had enough. Now it's your turn to have all you desire. I'm rooting for you all the way!

Until next time...

With love,

Question: I was wondering how Law of Attraction interacts/co-exists with random occurrence (or perhaps Law of Attraction says that nothing is truly random). Anyway, it would be interesting to hear your take on this subject.

Great question. And what you alluded to is accurate - there are no random occurrences. What you perceive as 'random' is actually a combination of everyone's collective attracting and what you have personally created. People often have a difficult time accepting that they attract EVERYTHING in their lives. We tend to be logical and reasonable, and as such, it's often hard to conceive we also attract those things which don't make complete sense. Yet just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it occurs without reason. The truth is, the Universe is always in perfect balance, and there is a precise order to everything. And though we may not immediately grasp why something happened, the simple truth is it's because you created it. There are no accidents or coincidences. We're all attracting, all the time. So when our lives and events seem to intertwine inexplicably, this is the result of individuals attracting on their own and arriving at the same place. Or said another way, 'random' isn't really random at all!
