Now that you have asked (see last blog post), the next step is expecting. Expecting is non-resistance.

“The money you receive is in direct response to your expectation of it.” Paul, Creating Money, Disk 2.

The closer you get to knowing that what you asked for is coming, the easier it will manifest. You just have to expect it to arrive. For instance, perhaps when you were in high school, you just expected to go to college. You didn’t know how or where, you were just going.

When you order a book from Amazon.com, you know it will be here in 3 days.

If you pour water into the back of a coffee maker, put a filter in the basket, spoon in fresh grounds, and push the little red button, you know in 5 minutes you will get a pot full of coffee.

You just have to expect the Universe will deliver what you asked for.

I feel the “Yeah, but”s standing up like hairs on the back of your neck. “Expecting is not that easy.” Of course, that is the trick. I asked Paul point-blank in a private session, “What can I do to foster a feeling of expectation?”

He said (paraphrasing), “Be very clear about what you want. Say, ‘I want $2000. I expect it. I expect it to be easy. I expect to feel what it is like to pay such and such bill, I expect to spend what I have left, doing whatever it is I want to do with it’” He said to spend time in the highest state I can achieve talking about all the things I will do with the money and how it will feel to have it. He said, the minute it starts to feel even a little bit bad, stop the exercise. You don’t want to bring bad-feeling thoughts into the Vortex. How about a time frame? No, because that’s when you get in there and start managing it.

Saying it until you mean it, especially with the power of the Vortex or Source Energy behind you, is a very powerful way to develop trust in the Universe.

A client of mine developed a brilliant adaptation of this principle. When she examined her financial obligations, she would take each bill and ask the universe for something extra to spend frivolously. If she had a phone bill for $285, she might ask for $350. She would then spend the bulk of her time in the Vortex spending the extra $65.

What makes this brilliant is that by placing her attention on spending the excess, she is assuming the bill is going to be paid. Source Energy then amplifies her expectation that the bill will be paid.

Now when the time comes, does she spend the money as she planned? “Depends,” she says. “Sometimes it feels better to take the money and pay another bill. Besides, I already had the fun of spending it.”

Although we ask the Universe for stuff, money or experiences, it is never about those things. What it is really about is the feeling we expect to have as a result of having the stuff, money or experiences. It is not about the comfy, overstuffed chair we want, it is the feeling of relaxed comfort we expect we will have. It is not about the money we need to pay the bills, it is about the relief we expect to feel as we make it through a whole week without worrying about the bills. It is not about traveling to Paris, it is about the satisfaction of achieving a life dream to experience the romantic sidewalk café. Once we realize it is not about the money or stuff, we can look at our current situation and find all the places where the feeling we are looking for already exists. We can then put our attention on these feelings and appreciate them for the joy they already bring us. A lot of times, especially in the case of needing money, it is possible to look at a time in your life where money was not an issue. Look at all the times you’ve manifested money in the past. It is likely that since you are where you are, you’ve been pretty successful at getting by at your current level. You can pretty much assume you will continue to get by in the future. If you can assume that the money will come eventually, then it is just a matter of time. The following three-part exercise from Paul, given in the Creating Money Series CD 5 for a woman who was concerned that her money would run out by a certain date, shows us how to assume an increase in our money, and compress the time it takes to get there.

Our emotional guidance system. Many people classify emotions that feel bad to be bad or negative emotions. They are neutral, just like our eyes are neutral in the sight process. The eyes help us process light into meaning, and our emotions help us process our human experience. Emotions are simply what we feel in direct response to the thoughts we are thinking at that moment. If a thought is in alignment with what we are wanting, we have a corresponding good feeling emotion. If the thought is out of alignment with what we are wanting we have a bad feeling emotion. Not good or bad in value, more like a compass pointing the direction we want to go. Of course, the problem we have with this system is that through one means or another, most of us have been taught to ignore our emotions, and we have lost interest in watching how we are feeling. Getting back in touch with our emotions is a trial-and-error learning process. I don’t mean that we get it wrong and have to learn how to do it. We don’t. We know an emotion feels good or bad just because we say so. What is a trial-and-error process is remembering to look to our emotions. As we get better at it, the time we spend not paying attention to how we are feeling gets shorter and shorter.

Step 1) In a relaxed state (in the Vortex), spend time appreciating the money you have, even if it is just the pennies under the cushion in your sofa. Do not think about wanting more; focus on the joy of what you do have. Don’t spend a lot of time here. Get in and get out. If you start to feel badly at all, it is time to quit.

Step 2) Think of the amount of money that you have increasing. Don’t look at how it will increase – that is not for you to figure out. Rather, look at the ways you will experience relief, pleasure and joy from it. Paul suggests, “Just imagine yourself saying with great delight, ‘I’m now having an inflow of money and I’m enjoying it very much.’”

Step 3) Bring as much joy into your imagination as possible. Look at all the things you do that bring you joy and immerse yourself in them. If you enjoy working in your garden, visualize all the pleasant sights and sounds of working in the garden. Create scenarios where you enjoy the heck out of what you are doing. When you are in the feeling of joy, the manifestation process flows easily.

Once the feeling starts to subside, get out.

While step 1 & 2 need only be done once. Step 3 should be repeated as often as possible.

Throughout this series of blog posts, the theme of “finding the path of least resistance” has been demonstrated by various exercises designed to help you relax around the topic of money. The more you can become relaxed around money, particularly around your relationship with money, the more easily you manifest it. No doubt you have areas in your life where you easily manifest what you want, and those areas are also the ones you are most comfortable with.

You see, it is easy to become confused about what is real and what is not. It is a matter of perspective. As Source energy, what you create through your desires is real the instant you intend it. It exists as vibration. It does not get any more real. Further down the pike it can manifest as a physical object or event, but this world is your creation, what some would call a world of illusion because it exists for you alone.

Once you have created something through your desire, the natural path of this creation is to manifest in your physical world. The only way you can keep this from happening is to resist its manifestation. The way you resist it is by declaring that the world you created, your illusion, is more real than the vibration. You do this by looking at your physical situation and declaring “I need my stuff.” “My stuff isn’t here yet.” “I’ll never get my stuff in time.”

The way the stuff gets here is by seeing the vibration of what you want as the real “proof” of it’s existence. In other words, knowing that you have created it, and expecting it to manifest.

Final Exercise

What would it be like to be totally comfortable around the energy of money?

Tap a round on (no set up): I give myself permission to be comfortable around the energy of money.

On an energetic level, when we stay within a pattern where an emotion we don’t like is repeated over and over, we create a vibrational field around it. This energetic field takes on a life of its own and has almost a feeling that it is one of our children. Frankly, we just don’t want to let it go.

We can release our attachment to this field using a Light Tapping^SM process (as in releasing a sentinel – see earlier blog posts.) It is a three-step process in which we tap three distinct rounds. If one round or another brings up a powerful emotion, feel free to repeat the round or change the round to dissipate the emotional charge. Start with the set-up statement, and then move into the three rounds without further set-up statements.

Set-up:

Even though I’ll be really sad to see my resistance to money go – in fact, it has been my friend for a very long time, it has been a very useful shield, it has protected me when nothing else would and kept me safe – I deeply and completely accept myself.

Round 1 Sadness and attachment:

• Eyebrow: I’ll be really sad to see my resistance to money go
• Side of eye: It’s been like my best friend
• Under Eye: It has been a very useful protector
• Under the nose: It has kept me safe
• Chin: It protected me when nothing else would
• Collar bone: It is like it has been a part of me
• Under arm: A part of who I am
• Top of head: I’ll be sad to see my resistance to money go.

Round 2 Fear:

• Eyebrow: I’m afraid of what I will do with out my resistance to money.
• Side of Eye: How will I protect myself about money?
• Under eye: How will I get by without my resistance to money protecting me from failure?
• Under nose: I don’t know what it might mean
• Chin: It will be all new territory
• Collar bone: What if I choke?
• Under arm: What if I can’t handle money?
• Top of head: I’ll be afraid to see my safe old mindframe go.

Round 3: Allowing

• Eyebrow: I give myself permission to release my resistance to money
• Side of Eye: I give myself permission to replace the resistance with tools from my tool box to handle my new situation
• Under eye: I give myself permission to use my intelligence
• Under nose: I give myself permission to use my intuition
• Chin: I give myself permission to use my emotional guidance system
• Collar bone: I give myself permission to use my wisdom.
• Under arm: I give myself permission to use all the tools in my tool box.
• Top of head: I’ll still be sad to see my resistance to money go.

Take a couple of deep breaths.

Thank the energetic field which was your resistance to money for all the hard work and service it as performed at your request. Ask it if it is still protecting you from anything. If the answer is yes, ask what that is and tap until it is a non-issue. Then ask again. Repeat until it is no longer protecting you.

Ask the energetic field if it would rather return home to Source or stay and be transformed into something you are both comfortable with and will assist you in generating a flow of money. Based upon its answer, either let it return home or welcome it back into your energetic field as a powerful ally.

These several blog posts represent the first draft of an upcoming free ebook. I will lengthen the explanations, give examples, and provide many more exercises.
