Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Three task of connecting to your money by getting out of debt. You have a relationship with your money, whether you want one or not. You see, money is not inherently good or bad or fearful or joyous. We attach emotions and beliefs to our money that make all the difference in whether we have more or less, and how we use it to improve our lives, and the lives of others. The hardest part of this task is motivation. You have to be able to see yourself in a situation that you have never experienced… being debt free. This meditation will support the joyous exercise of dream setting, giving you a vision of your future that will fuel you through this process and connect you more deeply to your money. 

Posture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to get comfortable. You will want to sit or lay down and close your eyes for this journey. 

Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way. Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace. 

Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about all the debt payments that you make each month. We begin with a question…. what could you do if you didn\u2019t have to make those payments? What could you do with that money, if you didn\u2019t have to send it away?

In other words… if you could do anything, if you could live any lifestyle in any location, spending your time on anything you like… what would you do? What would you do after the long vacation and after the partying…. when things settled down and you are seeking meaningful efforts for your time… what would you do? What is your ideal life? Take some time now to dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there skills you want to have? Do you dream of paying off your home? Or traveling the world? Or just living simply? Do you dream of volunteering or teaching or getting a degree? Do you dream of being creative, or learning languages, or just playing with your kids and grandkids? Dream a little more. Live this dream in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were living the dream, how would you feel about your money then? Imagine checking your bank accounts as part of your dream life. You will certainly keep track of your money smartly. Imagine your monthly budget meeting with your spouse when you have no debt. You are reporting out your net worth instead… watching it go up each month. You have plenty. How do you feel about money now? Focus on this feeling for a moment. 

How does this dream feel? Joyous? Exciting? It is not impossible at all. Repeat to yourself… This can be done. I am worth the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. Keep this dream in your mind as you work towards debt freedom. And remember these days when you reach your ideal life. It is closer than you think. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
