A major recurring theme in my work with people and organizations centers around questions of how to bring in more money. It relates to our survival, and our ability to thrive in the world.
I've always had the good fortune to work with organizations, or people within those organizations who were blessed with the very highest levels of talent, awesomeness, and genius -- AND they had money magic. That is, they could work the miracle of having funds flow in, often just in the nick of time. They were great at calling in large sums of money.
In my experience, money magic seems to be a combination of
Personally, while money has always flowed all around me, until recent years, relatively little of that used to flow to me. As I worked on my personal issues around self-worth and abundance, I was able to increase my income by a good percentage, each time I accepted a new job, four or five times in a row. I was amazed and pleased. Granted, these were non-profit salaries, and relatively low to begin with, but still, the percentage increase was far higher than one might expect for a typical raise.
At a certain point, I walked away from it all -- the most secure job I could imagine, working to give away money -- and have been living modestly while writing, exploring, and working on myself. It turns out, I need very little "stuff" to be happy. At the same time, I don't advocate this path for everyone, especially if one is supporting a family. So let's go back to the abundance piece.
A lot of clearing was needed before I could reach each successive level of abundance.
What beliefs are you carrying that are blocking your ability to manifest abundance? If you desire prosperity, intending it is important. However, one must also find, address, and relinquish any limiting beliefs that get in the way. It's a matter of clearing the space to call in what you desire.
Now I am doing work that I love, a balance of my interests. As I heal the elements above, I now see how love and abundance are part and parcel of the same thing - both are infinite and are elements of God, Because God is all of us, including me, I am also love and abundance, as are you. I am spiritual, virtuous, loved, provide a valuable and needed service, help the world, and can support myself in a healthy and abundant way. Starting this practice is, for me, an act of faith that I am supported by the Universe in doing what I'm good at and what I love.
Part of my "money magic" is to help others have more money and abundance in their lives. Uncannily high numbers of my friends, colleagues, or clients receive higher paying job offers or career promotions after a session or conversation with me on this topic, or they decide to go back to school, or start their own companies. Professionally, grants I work on are often funded.
Financial abundance is only one part of the abundance picture. Having a life that's abundant with love, community, connection, personal expansion, spiritual access and grace is also important. I've seen how a life that is abundant with all those other things makes the financial piece pale in comparison, and I've lived it. And I've also seen how each area can support all the rest. If you're feeling a financial deficiency and feel unable to move the needle on that, you might spend some time cultivating the other areas, with the understanding that they are interrelated, and when the time is right, financial abundance can blossom for you in your life as well.
Here's to an abundant life for all of us, full of the very best life has to offer in all dimensions of being!
What examples of light-side "money magic" have you seen? How was it done? What other kinds of abundance were related to it?

- High competence
- High degree of belief in the worthiness of one's self
- OR a high degree of belief in the project or mission

A lot of clearing was needed before I could reach each successive level of abundance.
- I had to clear beliefs that my services weren't valuable, needed, or desirable.
- I also had to clear past life elements telling me that the only way to be spiritual was to be a mendicant wandering beggar - I actually spent a year wandering three continents thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and strangers-who-became-friends while I wrote my book.
- I cleared cultural beliefs that the only way to be virtuous is to be poor.
- I cleared the belief that I can only be loved if I give away my healing services for free.
- I cleared the idea that the only way for me to help the world was to martyr myself.
