When you think about money do you have a negative feeling somewhere deep down?

The truth is that most of us hold pain, frustration or shame around money — and this single fact is often one of the greatest barriers to our happiness and fulfillment.

That’s because money symbolizes what we can or can’t do. If we don’t have enough, it frustrates our creativity. It can limit our dreams. It can sabotage our health.

And even when there is “enough,” it can tear apart relationships and families who always want more.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. We can create a freer, more spacious, and even more enlightened relationship with money that sees it objectively, that doesn’t waste it OR attach to it. That sees money as an expression for our values, our hopes and our deepest commitments.

In a nutshell, we can relate to money in a holistic way that frees us rather than limits us.

And it all begins with healing our RELATIONSHIP with money by getting honest and real about the very real emotions we have about it.

As we do this, we gain what money expert Kate Levinson calls emotional currency, which helps us navigate our relationship with ACTUAL currency in a healthy way.

Money holds a value much greater than its monetary worth, and most of us can sense this — even if only unconsciously…

This “hidden” value shows up in many ways. For example, we’ve all argued with someone about money, perhaps with a romantic or business partner, and can feel the well of emotion behind our words — and theirs. In these situations, sometimes it can even feel like we’re holding on to our viewpoint for dear life.

urking beneath the surface there are thoughts and feelings you’ve attached to money.

Rather than avoid these emotions (which most of us do), when you explore the feelings they canan give you new insights into yourself and your life.

That’s because money is a like a Rorschach that tells you a lot about your relationship with yourself, your desires, your needs, your fears and more. When you explore your relationship with money, you discover more about YOU!

Yet, not many of us take the step to explore why we can get so triggered around money and where our thoughts and feelings about money — which can include fear, shame, and self-doubt — originated.

And that’s not surprising…

Western society has programmed us to live “the Dream” with all its material must-haves AND at the same time trained us not to talk about money. It’s just something you don’t do. What we are supposed to do is simply chase after more and more.

The problem with this is that our relationship with money runs deep and can greatly affect how we live our lives — our negative, undigested emotions around money blocking our opportunity for a healthy relationship with it.

In fact, when we have negative feelings about money, we tend to push it away subconsciously, which then reinforces our feelings of lack.

Like anything that’s blocking us from evolving, we need to explore and talk about these feelings. Discovering what our beliefs around money are and opening up about them can help us to better understand not only the financial situations we perpetuate, but ourselves.
How You Relate to Money Can Reveal How You Relate to Life

When you can look at your relationship with money (without judgement) and share your stories about money, you can gain important insights into yourself and how you live your life — including how much of your perception of self-worth is linked to your net worth.

You can also start to unlock any self-sabotaging beliefs you have around money and open to more self-empowering ways of dealing with your finances — and approaching your life, ways that better support your authenticity and even your sense of belonging.

You may even be surprised by a new feeling of freedom — to explore new unexpected possibilities for your life, as money concerns (many of them unconscious) are uncovered, understood, and shifted.

You may, for example, discover that a shopping spree — that you really can’t afford — is substituting your need to feel more in control in your life, and that by reigniting your passion for photography, you’ll fulfill that need….
