From $5.99 to $8.99: Are You Shocked?
Over 60 years ago, early in my marriage, my husband was a graduate student, and I held an entry level job. We had very little money and I shopped carefully and prepared most of our food at home. Now, I have plenty of money and prepared and partially prepared food is readily available and delicious. I often serve it instead of cooking from scratch. Yesterday, as I reviewed some of my favorite dishes in the prepared food section, I discovered that what I remembered costing $5.99 now cost $8.99. There might have been an intermediate price hike, but somehow this startled me. I reminded myself that there’s a reason for this inflation. Wages for workers at every step of the process have been increasing. The cost of raw food has also been increasing. No wonder I’m being charged more. It makes perfectly good sense but I’m still shocked. It’s clear that my mind and my emotions don’t match. This is a case where I’m reacting to an old picture. I know I can be angry about inflation, but I can’t do anything about it. I wanted to let go of the picture in my mind about how things are supposed to be that was causing my distress. I did this by saying the three sentences we teach that resolve the blocks to experiencing abundance. To resolve your own blocks, get your copy of “Embrace Prosperity” and let us show you how to do this.
Book Excerpt
Embrace Prosperity
I finally learned that abundance is there wherever you look, and that money for fun is sometimes well-invested.
What Comes Next
Practical aspects of creating wealth, the money you get to keep rather than spend, are available from many different sources. These aspects are important to learn, but hard to use when your energy is frozen in ways that prevent you from noticing they exist or considering putting them into practice.
The purpose of this book is to help you release your own energy that's blocking your experience of abundance, therefore, we’ll offer you exercises. By the time you have finished them, you’ll easily learn those practical aspects of creating wealth, and we will suggest resources to help you do so.
Practicing Abundance
Taking ideas and putting them into action is a challenge for many. It is almost as if there is an energy barrier to be crossed.
First you need to discover your own personal energy barrier. Do this by finding a trigger, an image or a voice that interferes with you doing what you want to do. One way to do this is to sit quietly and think about times that this has happened. Notice any image or voice associated with this memory.
Another way is to notice what you think about when you are considering spending money on a specific item. You may hear a voice from the space around you, scolding you or warning you to be cautious. Or you may create a conversation with an imagined critic while balancing your checkbook or thinking of asking for a raise.
The variety of different voices and images you encounter depends upon your own personal history.
Such an image or a voice is a trigger for distress. It can be neutralized with the help of the Logosynthesis sentences.
Once you have found an image or a voice, repeat the following sentences aloud to help you get past this energy barrier and actually do the suggested activities.
