You’ve heard the proverbial expression, got that monkey off my back but when it comes to money the monkeys are in your mind. Getting them out of your mind and clearing up the mess they make of your money flows needs to be a prime endeavour for those who want to achieve their dreams.

Those monkeys are negative thoughts and feelings about money, thoughts and feelings that are so subtle that you are not consciously aware of them…and therein lays the trap. To catch those monkeys we need to become aware of their existence, then and only then can we begin the process of exorcising them from our lives.

The test to see if you have any of those hidden Money Monkeys is to ask yourself this question: Do you have all the money you need to fulfill your dreams? If the answer is no you have one or more money monkeys reaping havoc in the canyons of your mind.

Now I am going to tell you something that might set off a negative thought in your mind and I want to see if you catch it.

I am not a multimillion dollar guru…while I am not financially destitute; I would not qualify as a shining example of financial abundance yet I am going to offer you here a two step process to help find and exorcise those monkeys.

(Negative alarm bells:   “why should I listen to anyone about money who is not financially abundant?” “What can you possibly tell me about money?”)

Did any such thoughts cross the frontiers of your brain? Even just little ones?

Now try this statement: “I am a billionaire money guru and I going to offer you an expensive coaching program to help you remove the money monkeys from your mind.”

(Negative alarm bells: “Charge me…you have more money than most third world countries. How can you possibly understand my situation, I only make 20,000 a year!”)

See; damned if you do, damned if you don’t. But also a nice way to close down any money conversation and avoid change and improvement.  It’s the number one money monkey out there, a kind of catch 22 which keeps people trapped, just where they want to be. They then believe they have license to complain bitterly to anyone who will listen about the unfairness of the system and how it takes advantage of the little man.

The truth is I am learning, along with a great many other people, that I have money monkeys. These monkeys are habits and assumed truths passed down to me from all those influences around me especially family, specifically parents.

I want to share with you a process I developed to help me work through this issue that may help you.

The process requires that we sit in a quiet place, away from all the chatter of our lives so we can concentrate and focus.  You will need a journal to write out your question and to record the answers that come to you.  The final ingredient is our belief that my asking and listening carefully for the answer we will be guided to a truth that point out the hiding monkey. Once we can see it, it can never have influence over us again, unless we choose to forget the truth.

Here is the first part of the process. You ask yourself this question…out loud if you feel comfortable and make sure to write it down in your journal.

`Tell me about a limiting belief you have about money.

Ask the question a few times if you have to.  Listen to your answer, and don`t throw anything away no matter how crazy it might sound to you.

Here is what I came up with.

I have this belief that I have a limited pool of money. I work at a job and baring a raise, I take home the same money every two weeks. So when I look at my monthly money pool I see a limit. When I consider a purchase or paying a bill my focus goes automatically to that limited pool and I attempt to work with what is there: read limit.  I`ve also discovered that my money pool seems to have a leak in it, as there is never as much there as I think there should be. My attention always gets pull to looking at that limited pool.

What does the Law of Attraction state?  That which you focus on you will get.

Now here comes the second part of the process.

“Tell me about a solution that would change this limited thinking into unlimited abundance.”

Ask the question several times to let it slip by your automatic negative defences. Think about how you use the limiting belief to stop yourself. Read more about How to Get the Money Monkeys Out of Your Mind »

Abundance Check Ritual for the New Moon

This ritual has been handed down through so many people that its origin has become unknown.

So What Is An Abundance Check?

Writing an Abundance Check is an exercise you can use to create more abundance in your life and the check is to be written within 24 hours after each New Moon.

It is not necessary to believe that the check will work when you write it and you may be surprised at the increased Abundance you find flowing into your life, whether it be financial or in other areas of your life.

It is best to follow the described procedure; however, if you do not have a checking account you may also draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way to receive the same results.

Follow these steps to write your Abundance checks WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER A NEW MOON:

1. On your check where it says “Pay to,” write your name.

2. On the same line where you would fill in a dollar amount write “Paid in full.”

3. On the next line where you would write out a dollar amount, write “Paid in full.” [Some say it works better if you don’t add the squiggly line.
4. On the signature line, sign your check: “The Law of Abundance”

It is not necessary to put a date on the check and you DO NOT write a specific dollar amount on the check. Then put the check away in a safe place and forget about it. The Universe will take over from there.

If you feel skeptical about the Abundance Check Exercise, just do it routinely every month for a while and see what happens!

Mark your calendar and remember to follow this process within 24 hours after each New Moon…
