Money Consciousness Overcoming Generational Poverty
foreign
i was born to a 17 year old mom with a
9th grade education
at 17 i was her second child
she married my dad when she was just 16
years old
yes out of love but also to escape her
home life
and that was because my grandmother her
mother
was then a prostitute who later ran her
own brothel
i can hardly imagine how desperately my
mother must have fought
to get out of that life there was an
unspeakableness about money in my family
a well-kept secret where we believed
that we were poor and that this was the
only way
having a member of the family in the
oldest profession
has been at the root of shame
surrounding money in my family for
generations
in my early life thoughts of recruiting
wealth
were utterly inconceivable
growing up poor is a common reason many
people hold on to limiting beliefs
surrounding money
for an entire lifetime a momentary
crisis
like the one we are now having with the
global pandemic
also has the potential to create false
beliefs of perpetual deprivation and
diminished self-confidence
possessing conscious awareness around
how you truly feel
about your personal finances than the
financial health of your community
and of our nation is a vital importance
this is because money like all things in
existence
is energy at its core when we embody
fear
when we hold on to living beliefs or
hold on to painful feelings about money
we express an energetic dissonance and
do not attract the higher frequency
possibilities
that provide us with plentiful resources
at this moment there is a choice to be
made that will decide the fate of future
generations
we can either continue to hold on or we
can elevate our perspectives
toward our greatness and unwavering
self-confidence
and a prosperous self-worth
have you ever considered money to be a
form of energy
the energy that powers our financial
system perhaps
a unique energy in that we associate
having money
with having power whereby in the absence
of money
we feel disempowered and what is energy
exactly
energy is the strength and vitality
required to do work
it is the power derived from the
utilization of our physical
or chemical resources by definition
could our money be a form of energy
too our money is created a physical
matter
and thereby and thereby possesses energy
or frequency if you will
one of the most basic tenets of energy
that we’ve come to understand
comes from the first law of
thermodynamics
it is the law of conservation of energy
and stated in simple terms conveys that
energy is not created nor destroyed
but changes state essentially
energy is transformed
this law of energy not only applies
to electricity and other forms of matter
it applies to
us as human beings in a very fundamental
way
we have been taught through our form of
education about energy and how it is
applied and measured in our physical
world
what we haven’t learned well is about
the energy that is us
some will refer to this energy of us as
the soul or spirit
perhaps not realizing that it too obeys
the same universal law
of conservation and sometimes what is
the need of transformation when it comes
to our money
are our beliefs our feelings and our
language
about money this observation came to me
after my conscious awakening from a
place of heightened awareness
imagine now that we are more than a
physical body that we are
infinitely more and that reality is a
concept
far beyond our shared world and what if
this conscious energy
applies to all things in existence
including
our money
our relationship with money is often
deeply entangled in our belief systems
our cultures and religions and we also
live
our lives in a rather estranged
relationship with money
because as a collective we have been
conditioned to believe that money is
scarce or hard to come by
we are led to believe that we are not
worthy enough or good enough in some way
to
receive all the money that we require
and at times we will even feel
fear about a fear surrounding money or
feel greedy for wanting more
my earliest memories as a little girl
were of my parents fighting
and our family living in desperate
conditions i was still in diapers not
more than two years old
when my parents divorced thereafter
i rarely saw my own mother who was
barely more than a teenager
herself you see we had very little
not much at all living in low income
housing
surviving with the help of government
rations
on the surface my early life appears
typical in a sense
growing up poor and on welfare but what
lies beneath is more nuanced or more
entangled if you will
when my parents divorced i was forbidden
to see my maternal grandmother
but there were times when my mom would
have my brothers and i alone
that she would sneak us to see our
grandmother at her home
brothel i remember having a
uncomfortable feeling inside i had this
disgusted feeling in the pit of my
stomach
there were pornographic cartoons playing
on the television
and we would be served up bowls of ice
cream
it was all very confusing but one thing
that i do remember
is how i felt what i didn’t know at the
time was the gravity of the energy i was
embodying
related to my own self-worth in those
moments
i don’t think anyone in my family had a
clue
as to the consequences of holding on
to this disgraced energy
my teenage mother was unfit to care for
her children
my brothers and i were often neglected
when in her care
for 19 years i did not see nor hear from
my mother
and i judged her very harshly for not
being there
i already knew what it felt like to be
left alone
to be without enough to eat to be
unclean
with lice growing in my hair before
starting kindergarten
from very early on i carried within me
the energy of deprivation
i have come to understand that all the
experience in our
experience in our lives are designed to
teach us something
no matter how unpalatable the lesson
even if my mind did not want to remember
my
soul conscience never forgot
your financial net worth mirrors your
inner self-worth
i embody the energy of revulsion of
secrecy of shame and never enoughness
when it came to money
i learned that this energy it could not
just
be forgotten or go away that i couldn’t
just get rid of it
i now understand that the energy that is
me
must also obey the same universal law of
transformation
it had to be transformed
transforming dense energy is an
introspective process
the release of the heavy energy that is
holding you back
comes only from within it is an
intensely
personal process that is deeply felt
and it cannot be intellectualized this
this type of transformation must occur
from within remember those
feelings of revulsion
those feelings of disgust
those feelings are transformed into
gratitude
yes i am grateful that i never believed
that i had to make disempowered choices
in my life in order to survive
and that harsh judgment of my mother was
transformed into respect
and forgiveness a respect for the fight
of her life
and i forgave her for believing that she
could not be there for me
but most importantly i had to forgive
myself
for all those years of merciless
judgment
you see transformation begins with
forgiving
yourself and that energy of lack
it has finally been transformed into
enoughness into inner happiness in an
abundant self-worth
your money journey may be different from
mine but if you are
existing with fear around money or in a
state of lack
that energy of deprivation is the same
we need to aim for higher frequencies of
emotions like love and joy and happiness
when we think of money
recognizing its infinite nature there is
the secret about our feelings that we
have never been told
it is that our feelings are energy too
and that they are indeed meant to be
felt
but our heaviest and heaviest emotions
are also meant to be transformed into
higher frequency emotions like
joy love and happiness we are meant to
feel
gratitude and feel fulfilled when we
think of money recognizing its infinite
nature
not to fear feel fear scarcity and
frustration
your money story may be different from
mine
perhaps you grew up with in financial
comfort with more than enough money
but there were secrets never spoken
there were
there was fear around losing money or
perhaps
there were even crimes commit related to
how money was earned or spent
the frequency of your feelings matter
if you are holding on to the energy of
fear or secrecy around money
there is a place for transformation
we all need to aim for joy happiness
this is so
awesomeness when it comes to our
feelings about money
to finally achieve our financial
abundance
the energy of money is a most powerful
and generous force
that touches all of our lives in its
infinite nature
it governs how money flows in and out of
our lives
it enriches us and teaches us valuable
lessons about ourselves
and the lives we lead and the manner in
which money shows up for each of us
is directly related to our personal
relationship with this powerful force
our relationship with money is an
intensely personal and intimate one
and the way that our money flows
responds to our truest feelings about it
and it ultimately responds to how worthy
we feel within
ourselves the energy of money
is about our connections and purpose our
passions our ideas and opportunities
yes of course it’s also about our
physical money
but physical dollars and cents are only
one component of this powerful force
the energy of the soul of money wants
only to serve you
and act in your highest good
as parents we have the power within us
to
enact a paradigm shift in how we relate
to the energy that is our money
but to do this we must first identify
our own fears and beliefs about money
when we hold the power within us to
enact a global paradigm shift in how we
relate to the energy that
is our money know that the journey
inward is not an easy one but it must be
taken
and it starts at home it starts with you
by reclaiming your self-worth you give
your children
and their children the opportunity to do
the same
you see because we pass this self-worth
on from generation
to generation when you feel
really good about money you are teaching
your
children and their children that there’s
nothing to fear about it
and this is how we finally break the
cycle of generational poverty
by empowering our children to fearlessly
create
generational wealth
