Dear %$firstname$%,
Welcome to our new Money Keys Community members. One of the things that you’ll hear me say that literally gets gasps from audiences and interviewers is this: “Money worries are more of a faith issue than a financial one.” Feel it? Most people really get it—where I have my faith, not what I have in my wallet, determines my peace of mind.
So enjoy the message this month and plan to come out on Tuesday March 2nd for our free monthly Community call where our theme will be shifting from financial fears to perfect faith.
And enjoy a beautiful Success Story from Sandra, who has absolutely surrendered to being more interested in her spiritual well-being than entertaining her fears. She’s a powerful model for us all.
To your wealth and well-being, |
|
Karen

| Money Worries are a Faith Issue, Not a Financial One! |
|
As the world economy rebuilds from the economic collapses of the last few years, many people are feeling afraid. Anxiety about money pervades our Western culture. As much as our media and cultural attention focus on glamour, riches and winning prizes, we also have a constant, nervous conversation about losing, making mistakes, getting cheated and suffering financial disasters. We worry that there are not enough time, resources, deals, education, opportunity, land, businesses, clients, people, energy or information.
Money won’t fix it!
It may feel like all you need right now to address your fears is more money, right? What I’ve discovered in years of research about the connection between money and spirituality shows something that might surprise you. Money worries are ultimately more of a faith issue than a financial one! When you’re afraid about money and you get money, you can absolutely get some short term relief in your circumstances.
However, if you don’t address the fear, it will come back. The basic anxiety about money comes from an idea, a thought and a sense of separation. You think you’re a finite being defined by your income statement and your balance sheet. If you feel you are not a part of the eternal, abundant, infinite source of the all-good, then you get scared. The problem of scarcity is an issue of faith, and the solution is a spiritual connection to your wholeness.
Fears about money stifle your Spirit.
People who are anxious, upset and distracted don't make the best financial decisions—and they don’t feel inspired, grateful and generous with their money—or with sharing their gifts with the world.
In creating The Money Keys, I studied the mindset and behaviors of what I call ‘conscious wealth creators.’ These individuals are both financially successful on the outside and connected to larger purpose in their lives. One tool they use to address financial concerns is to be intentional about cultivating their spiritual connection—they choose what they have faith in. They place their faith in the source behind the channels that money comes through.
Shift money worries with present moment gratitude.
What do people really want to do with their money? In all the research, interviews and workshops I completed as research for this book, the number one thing that people said they really want is not millions of dollars, but peace of mind.
The next time you feel concern about paying a bill or taking a financial risk, use that emotion as a signal to stop, shift, and cultivate the experience of spiritual connection. Start with gratitude to create a sense of peace. Take a deep breath and look around your money life. Be grateful for the source behind the money that does flow to you. Appreciation fills your mind, calms your breathing and allows your body to relax. Now choose to act, speak, invest, spend and save. You’re building your faith in financial peace of mind.

| "That meditation time is set in stone. I’m staying in the present moment!" |
|
 "After a series of professional and financial challenges, we were at a crossroads with our businesses and investments. Feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the future, I chose to deliberately apply the Money Keys tools of spiritual practice and money management habits. Both have helped so much!
Every morning—before I do anything else (and there’s plenty calling me)—I sit for 20 minutes of meditation and always end with a simple prayer or surrender for the day. This commitment to my own peace of mind has given me the clarity I’ve needed to continue to do good work for clients and make creative financial decisions. I’m so much less fearful! Many days I also add an evening meditation.
The ROI on time invested in spiritual connection is excellent! With this calmer perspective, I’ve thoughtfully chosen to supplement our service business revenue with a professional position that offers stable cash flow. Using the principle of Circulation, we have a plan in place that includes spiritual giving (which I do with gratitude!), taking care of past obligations and building for the future.
Whenever I start to feel even the slightest bit anxious, I breathe deep and I return to that sense of connection to the grace, abundance and truth that I feel in mediation—and I get present!"
