This past Tuesday, I hosted a group call for the AffirmingSpirit Affirmation Study Group. Our guest speaker was Janet Carol Ryan, creator of Abundant Blessings CD.
Janet recommends that we pay attention to how we talk about money. Using the word only in relation to money is limiting. When we say “spend money”, we imply depletion. I really like Janet’s suggestion, instead, to see yourself circulating money. Most of us think about getting and holding onto money, but the reality is that we are really just centers of energy (money) circulation. Money
flows in, then we flow it out in exchange for services and experiences. Ideally, a percentage of it stays with us as it flows to serve other purposes in our lives. Either way, it’s always flowing…are you making the choice to receive and circulate?
In John Randolph Price’s book The Abunance Book, he created an acronym for money…My Own Natural Energy Yield. To me, that ties in with the thought of energy circulation. Are you welcoming your own energy yield? How so?
I was listening to the audio verison of Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Richard T. Kiyosaki, and rich Dad was always saying, “Money in not real.” or “Money is what people decide it is.” While he does not stress these as spiritual points, they really are both true and spiritual concepts at their core. Money is neutral. We, as citizens have decided that paper cut in a certain shape and printed with a certain pattern in a certain colors has a value that we can exchange for services and experiences. We are the ones who decide what value everything has, including how we experience our economy!
Robert Kiyosaki mentions that his wealthy friends always talk about money and business, and brainstorm ways to help each other, while his poor friends prefer not to talk about money at all, thinking it rude. Hmmmm….interesting observation. We can all ask ourselves how we talk about money…in hushed tones with only certain company, or in excited, open dialogs where you look forward to receiving more?
Share your comments about money, circulation, and how you feel about it all. What are you willing to do to create a positive relationship with your flow?

I am really trying to get this. I have read the Abundance Book, The Secret, Wayne Dyer books, Louise Hay, Doreen Virtue, I am trying. In 3 months I feel that I have come as far as some in a lifetime with all of this reading and exposure to knowledge. I feel that I am missing something? I feel that I get it, but what would be some validations of my efforts? I am sure that Divine Timing plays a role.
Hi, Dawn,
Congratulations on the journey…you will always be reading and learning and gathering new information.
Has all this reading changed how you feel about money? Do you currently speak about money is a different way than you used to?
One thing to keep in mind is that what you call “Divine Timing” is just Law of Attraction waiting for you to line up your energy with what you want. If you are like most people, you may say you want a million dollars but vibrationally, you are still adjusting to the concept of having enough. The millions will arrive in when you are vibrationally ready.
From my own experience, the long-held patterns of vibration take a lot of concentrated and conscious effort to change. Affirmations, meditation, and visualization are the main tools for consciously changing those long-held beliefs. What you’ve created over 20-30 years may not take that long to shift, but it takes longer than reading a few books. Plus, if you aren’t really feeling what you want to create (inside yourself), then you are just acquiring book knowledge…not real-life experiences that manifest into your physical world.
For those who read the books, but feel they just aren’t getting it fully, coaching can be the fastest and most efficient way to get there.
So, tell me…how do you talk about money…and what story do you tell?
