Adapted from an article by Louise Brogan – founder of the business “All Money Matters”
When I see a client for one-to-one counselling, one of the first things I do is give them a bottle of Abund Essence. Many clients have not heard of Flower Essences or how they work, so I give them a brief rundown and often the response is “You mean to tell me that if I put this stuff under my tongue twice a day for four weeks, that I will have more money?”
In spite of their doubts changes do happen. They can be subtle or very obvious; it differs with each individual. Their whole demeanour changes; they are not so fearful, they are more generous in spirit; and they start to find $20 notes tucked away in the corner of their wallets! Their sales increase, they receive a bonus at work or their workplace relationships improve.
The philosophy behind this business is based on the premise that the ability for an individual to experience money, wealth and abundance in their life rests primarily within that individual’s thoughts, attitudes and feelings about themselves, others and the world in general – including money. I apply my philosophy about abundance in an integrated three-part approach and I use the Bush Essences as a very real part of my work.
FIRST RESOLVE THE PAST
Our most effective learning period is from ages 0 to 10. During this time we are veritable sponges, taking in every impression that comes our way. At that early age we do not have the skills to be discriminating and take on patterns of thinking about abundance that can severely limit us in our adult life.
Boab is the absolute classic essence for clearing negative family patterns that can go back for generations! Inherited negative beliefs around money and wealth do not only have to be because of a lack of money. Even multi millionaires have money issues!
Another Essence to support the changing of those patterns is Bottlebrush. I have found that this Essence can be a powerful partner at the beginning of change and transformation. For those who have lots of money, the Transition Essence can be helpful, to let go of the importance of material possessions and see that spiritual development is also a vital part of life.
Bluebell also helps here to overcome greed and the fear of there not being enough to go around. Sturt Desert Rose can help where people who inherit money feel incredibly guilty about their inheritance. They gamble it away or spend up on expensive toys or holidays. Southern Cross deals with the other side of this coin – the poverty mentality. This is a powerful sentiment and can be difficult to break out of.
Abund Essence works at its best where there is this poverty mentality.
SECONDLY, INVEST IN THE PRESENT
This certainly means to invest our money NOW and so utilise the powerful tool to compound and expand our investment portfolios. It also means to “invest” in our relationships; “invest” in ourselves – be that increasing our present skills or learning new ones. The main aim is to integrate these different “investments” into our lives in a useful, meaningful and fulfilling way.
Philotheca supports us in this process. Learning to accept love, to accept the thanks and appreciation of others, can increase your bank balance! Sound impossible? Believe me it does happen, but please do not do this just to increase your bank balance.
THIRDLY, SECURE THE FUTURE
Retirement is not the only aim referred to here. I encourage you to explore what you really want to create, achieve and have in your life, to get in touch with what you really love to do and DO IT. Indeed, what usually happens when this strategy is implemented is that your financial position is enhanced – sometimes far beyond your expectations.
Sunshine Wattle helps when we feel stuck in the past and get lost in that hopelessness that comes from feeling unable to step out and change. I feel that one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves in life is to see and accept the beauty and joy around us RIGHT NOW.
Five Corners supports us to reach this place of self acceptance and confidence and at the same time not lose the motivation to reach our full potential and Peach-flowered Tea-tree is great for the follow through! I invite you all to use the Abund Essence even if you do not think you need to – just to experience the wondrous open feelings and the joy!
The responsibility for your life rests well and truly with you. What you choose to do with it and how you do that is your choice and yours alone. I invite you to link yourself to your potential and use the essences to assist and support you to do that rather than attach and bind yourself to your history.
