Would you be interested in solving the root cause of your money story, so that you can start to manifest the life of abundance that you are dreaming of?
Your money story is the one you often tell to others. It is made up of the issues going on in your current financial situation, the persistent worry that you are experiencing or/and the complaints you have about the economy, property prices, cost of living and so on. It is a story that occupies your mind throughout the day.
As I have found, money stories often act as a smoke screen to deeper underlying issues. At first, it is easy to be mistaken into believing that your financial challenges are caused by a string of bad luck, the fault of the tax authorities, the constant unfair treatment by your employers, the failure of receiving payment on time, or the banks who are out to get you. This being the case, you try to remedy your challenges with band-aide or by rearranging certain aspects of your life.
However, should you step aside for a bit, you may be able to observe money patterns that keep repeating. What you observe are likely to be debilitating cycles of frustration, worry, panic, resentment and anger over finances. Over and over again, you have not been able to truly break free.
Where there is a repeating pattern in your external issues, a root cause could exist internally.

It is what lies below the surface of the iceberg (see above picture illustration) that influences your external actions, behaviour and attitude towards money. This is where the root cause of your money story can be found.
Here are some of the money stories that various clients reported to having:
– Not able to thrive or make enough in new vocation;
– Inability to have money breakthroughs;
– Stuck at a certain level of income;
– Not able to attract paying clients;
– No pay raise for the last 3 years;
– Not able to revise prices up;
– Deals keep falling through;
– Inability to pay bills;
– Over-extended on credit card;
– Kicked out of dwelling due to inability to pay rent;
– Cannot seem find a job that pays well;
– Living from month to month, and so on.
The problem is that the more you tell a story of lack, the more contractive you feel. What’s important to realise is that if you are hoping to change your situation (things on the outside), you need to start by first changing the energy you have on the inside. Your outer story reflects the inner beliefs that you have about money. In order to dissipate the contractive energy that you feel and believe about money, you will need to uncover the root cause of your troubles.
How to Unravel the Mystery in the Root Cause
The following are three steps:
(1) The first step involves awakening into awareness.
Many people do not realise that they have been directly a lot of negative emotional energy with their debilitating stories. Fear keeps them trapped. They are too preoccupied with worry to get clear in their thinking.
In order to break free, you will have shine light into the shadows.
From a non-attached conscious state, ask yourself: What is your true (inner) money story? What are the beliefs you have? Are these beliefs expansive or contractive?
In all likelihood, if you have made yourself out to be a victim and given the lack of money power over your happiness, your beliefs are limiting ones.
(2) The second step involves recalling your childhood stories, so that you can uncover the beliefs that you have formed.
What kind of role models did you grow up with?
Did your parents teach you how to master financial education?
What were some of the beliefs they brought you up with? How did your parents reward you for good behaviour or exam grades in school?
(3) The third step involves uncovering your birth story.
How was your birth like? Did your mother experience a “difficult labor” from giving birth to you? Is that why you view life as a struggle and being difficult?
Did you suffer any trauma when you were born?
Did your parents welcome you with open arms or did they withhold love from you because you are considered a burden?
Solve the Root Cause to Your Money Story
Could it be that behind your money story lies core unresolved issues?
Hidden in the labyrinth are your shadows: birth trauma, childhood memories and collective unconscious patterns.
Within the folds could lie your deepest fear, shame, anger, resentment and grief.
But yes, as I have discovered and many others too, it is possible to dive through the layers and to unravel some of the mystery.
During the internal process, you will realize that your relationship with money is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself and with all others.
{If you have a poor relationship with the self, you are likely to have a poor relationship with money. Likewise, if you have low self-love issues, you are likely to have a poor relationship with money.}
You clear the mystery through deep root healing of your wounded inner child and the energetic release of trauma from past events that have been keeping you stuck.
What is wonderful is that the more you align with the truth of your being, the greater your ability to attract the financial wealth that you deserve. Through financial alchemy, you transmute into the gold of your true being. Ultimately, you radiate in brilliance from the core of your soul.
Love and abundance always,
