Hopefully by now you have established your rules about money and have taken them into a relaxed state and played with them a bit to try them on for size. If you have not, please take the time now to catch up.

Now that you have the feel for the rules, let them go. They are not a goal in themselves, rather they are the instructions you have given the Universe to follow in creating the money you want. You will ease into the reality of these rules as you go about the process of manifesting money and acquiring the stuff you want.

Another reason to let go of the rules is that, for some people, these rules represent a “reality” that is just too far away from where they perceive themselves right now. Abraham-Hicks, in the book Ask and it is Given, provides us with the image of a playground merry-go-round. Just as you might want to experience the delight of building up the most speed you can obtain without being thrown off into the bushes, similarly you might want to build up to the highest, best-feeling truth you can get to and still stay on the ride.

For many of us, stepping into our new rules is like jumping onto a speeding merry-go-round. The shocking jerk of such a change can throw us off the merry-go-round and into the bushes. The better way to step into our new rules then is by taking baby steps in our current financial situation – pushing the merry-go-round ourselves faster and faster – while at the same time staying in alignment with the rules we just created.

Just as Abraham gives us an emotional scale to guide us through our feelings, a financial scale exists as well. For just as it is difficult for someone who is in a state of depression to imagine jumping straight to joy even if they wanted to, it is hard for someone struggling with bills and a clunky car to imagine driving to their hangar, getting into their new Lear jet and flying to Paris for fresh morning baguettes. Both throw you in the bushes.

The following is a scale I created to give us a point of reference of where we are and where the next step is. Keep in mind that all reference points are suggestive to the individual’s experience. Destitute might mean having the car you are living in towed by the city, or it might mean having to move from your $20 million mansion to a $2 million tract house. It is also a sliding scale. After reading this you might decide that you are 1/4 of the way above security on your way to comfort.

After determining where you are on the financial scale, set your sights on just the next level up. For instance, if you are at Secure, set your sights on Comfort.

If you are starting at a very basic or frightening level, as described in the Communion of Light segment of Spiritual Tools that Work, Part 2, where the wolves are in your house, what feels a little bit better is getting the wolves outside your house. After that, you can work on getting them outside your front gate.

The trick to moving up the ladder is a concept that is rarely talked about. You have to be honest about where you are on the emotional scale. Abraham tells us that we have to look for what feels like relief in any situation. They say to look for the feeling you will get when the bill is paid. Maybe if you are honest, you might hate a certain bill collector and the way he makes you feel, so much that the relief of paying him off will feel more or less like “up yours.” That is relief to you and it is a big step up from powerlessness.

Paul, in A Communion of Light, Creating Money Series CD #3, says, “The desires to have something be different than what it is, that are so strong and resistant to what is, are causing you to feel like you are not in the flow.”

I take this to mean that not only do I have to be honest with where I am on the emotional scale, I have to be okay with it.

I have to achieve a state where I can acknowledge what I feel, as being perfect just the way it is.

Accepting ourselves as we are is always in alignment with where we want to be and what we want to become.

Exercise

Make a list of those things you don’t like, that make you feel bad, or just plain cause you conflict about your current situation. Be as precise as you can about how you feel.

EFT Master Sue Beer, in the book EFT and Beyond, edited by Pamela Brunner and John Bullough, tells us on page 85:

“… Heart truth…is actually our natural state, our birth right, and the opposite of what I call the ‘addicted-heart’– that state in which you experience yourself as disconnected from the Field or Source –or at least seem to be.”

She goes on to give an exercise on page 87 to activate your “Heart Anchor,” which puts you in touch with your heart truth.

“The first step is to try out the energy points of the Heart Anchor without any particular expectation. Put one hand on the centre of your chest (or heart chakra area) and gently rub. This is the heart point and is connected to an invisible network of energy channels that spread out and open up the lungs and chest area. Then place your other hand of the Top of the Head Point where you would balance a ball, and rub both points lightly at the same time. There is literally and energetically a pathway that runs from the heart to the emotional brain. Sense that pathway and then sense it going beyond the constraint of your physical body. You may or may not notice tingling, energy moving or some other shift in your physiology as you touch these points. Either way is fine.”

The reason that I present this exercise is that sometimes it is difficult to isolate an emotion in conflict well enough to describe it, which is what I just asked you to do in the above exercise. Using Sue Beer’s Heart Anchor technique allows us to focus on the “heart truth” of the emotion we are experiencing by helping us to focus on our own connection with Source Energy.

So as accurately as you can, write down your truth about how you feel. Feel free to use the Heart Anchor Technique liberally.

Some examples:

• My neighbors annoys me beyond belief. I’ve got to find another house.
• I envy people who make money so effortlessly.
• I really hate those credit card collections people.
• I am so frustrated by how financially stuck I am.
• I feel so confined in my kitchen.
• I hate this trapped feeling.

Abraham tells us when we are stuck in a particular vibratory state, such as those we just listed, to take each thought and find a better feeling one until we have transformed it into something that doesn’t keep us stuck. EFTers have the option of taking the emotional charge out of the statement through the tapping process. This is what I suggest you do with each statement of truth you expressed above. Tap on the emotion until you are okay with it–paying particular attention to the part about “loving and accepting yourself,” which I feel is the most powerful part of the EFT process.

You may have to take your seeking the truth of how you feel through several layers.

Once you have reached the state of being okay with your situation, take the time use Abraham’s pivoting process. Look at what you don’t like, expressed in each of the statements you wrote, and use it to determine what it is you do want.

Now write what you do want, making the statements as empowering as you can, yet still keeping them within range of what you think is possible for you:

• One day I will live peacefully in my neighborhood.
• I am starting to imagine what it is like to make money effortlessly.
• It will feel relieving and expansive to pay all my bills easily. I can just taste that feeling.
• Much sooner than I think, my income will start increasing every day.
• It is going to be wonderful to have an open, homey kitchen where I love to cook.
• I can’t wait to feel free! And, you know, inside myself, right now, I am free!
