Water – Flow Clear, Clean, & Current Financial Feelings

Flow Clear, Clean, & Current Financial Feelings
The third Element to bring into your process around creating abundance is Water. Throughout your life, Water develops your emotional capacity. You start learning about feelings from the emotional climate of your family, caretakers, and those you grew up around. If you want to grow beyond your current emotional dynamic around money, you need to become more conscious and aware of what you are feeling in any moment.
You may have grown up in an environment that held certain beliefs about finances, worth, and value. What are those beliefs? Dive deeply into these highly emotional concepts to search what might be holding you back. Your emotions are powerful forces that can also include dangerous undertows that pull you back into old beliefs and deep conditioning regardless of your conscious intentions.
You can start increasing your emotional awareness by noticing what part of your consciousness is responding or reacting to money. An emotional reaction is when you allow your emotions to be released before you give yourself time to choose your response. For example, if you grew up in a miserly home surrounded by a fear of lack, your first “gut” reaction to buying an item may be an instant “No!” This undertow reaction may be about not being able to afford the item, or it could be about you not being worth the cost.
Conversely, if you grew up in an environment where money matters were treated irresponsibly, it might be too easy to purchase items without concern of consequences. Credit cards make it very easy to think about a purchase with a “tomorrow is another day” postponement of payment, or you may find that you are buying items in an unconscious effort to fill a hole inside caused by a lack of some kind of personal fulfillment.
Take some time to journal about money. You might even hold money in one hand and write with the other. Be sure to give yourself enough time and privacy to explore this subject deeply and completely. This is not about punishing yourself: it is about understanding where your emotions around money and finances originated. Once you know the emotion’s source, you can begin clearing it out.
As you clear and clean old reactive emotional responses from your emotional current, a force increases its flow through you: Water’s primary power of love. Love is a powerful force which infuses everything it contacts, providing the nourishment needed for things to grow and flourish. Nature abhors a vacuum, so you need to replace old emotional responses with intentional new ones: doubt making way for gratitude and fear transforming into love.
