How Is Your Relationship With Money?
My Realization…
One day I came to this realization: one of the longest relationships we’ll ever have in this lifetime is with our money. Not with our spouse, nor with our house, it’s with our money! Hence our relationship with money is incredibly important and if we’re going to be with it forever, we better know how to flourish financially.
Having worked with many clients over the years, I realized we all have different relationships with our money, some get overwhelmed by it, some fear it, some neglect it, while others love and embrace it. But did you know your unique relationship to money dictates how financially successful you’ll be in this lifetime? If you’re not happy with your financial situation, a big part is you haven’t created the right type of relationship with your money for it to flourish.
My Observations….
As time went on, I noticed something very interesting with clients, some people are able to follow a spending and savings plan effortlessly, while others would struggle, consistently spending beyond their means, almost like an addiction. I wondered to myself why is that two very similar people making the same kind of income have such different ways of behaving when it comes to their money?
Or what about the clients who would not invest in the stock market for the extreme fear of loss, while others love to gamble, and have immense appetites for risk and end up losing it all. What makes these individuals behave so differently when it comes to risking their money?
Then I noticed another group of clients who are consistently under-earning, having difficulty asking for a pay raise, and over working while being under paid. Or how about the business owners who love to put their heads into the sand and not think about money, and would rather go to the dentist than look at their finances, ultimately leading to their own financial downfall, while others are on top of their money and managing their finances with ease.
I also observed clients who are successful with money, those who built successful careers and businesses, growing their wealth, and building financially abundant lives: I noticed this group of clients have drastically different beliefs and ideas about money. Instead of having limiting beliefs, they have successful beliefs, and a wealthy mindset, and their behaviors and success are driven by this set of beliefs in their minds.
This is when I realized our financial success and failure has little to do with actual money! It has to do with our beliefs and views about money, and the stories we tell ourselves about money. This completely dictated how we react around money and ultimately our financial failures and successes.
What is Financial Harmony?
According to the eastern philosophy of money, a concept called Financial Harmony: money is a form of energy and there’s a perfect harmony between yin and yang energy. A person cannot only receive money and never give or share, nor only give but don’t’ know how to receive. We must bring harmony into our financial lives by balancing the two energies. Financial chaos occurs when our relationship with money is not healthy: when we let unhealthy beliefs, ideas, and habits about money drive our financial behavior.
Where did we get our belief system about money?
Where did we get all the limiting beliefs that impedes our financial success? We develop our beliefs from a very young age and we absorbed these unconsciously.
We observe how our parents and caregivers were with money, whether they were constantly stressed about money, or if they were generous with it. Were your parents and caregivers strict about money? Did someone you know take large risks with money? All of these factors have a big impact on our money belief system. Even things we saw on tv can have an impact on our young impressionable brains.
Money is not simply about the dollars. It’s deeply personal and emotional. The problem is we are not usually aware of the unconscious beliefs that’s been hardwired into us since childhood and throughout other important moments of life. It is these unconscious beliefs that are driving our financial behaviors and creating chaos in our financial lives.
I realized I needed to help clients get to the root of these unconscious beliefs and bring them into awareness so they can begin to replace these limiting beliefs with new and empowering ones that will aid them in financial success. Unless we get to the root cause of our limiting money beliefs, our financial lives will not change for the better.

Do all these experiences have an effect on your relationship with money today? YES It absolutely does!
Your experiences since childhood are stored in your subconscious mind and they drive 95% of your everyday behavior. The other 5% is driven by your conscious mind. Most of our emotions, drives and behaviors happen automatically and unconsciously throughout the day.
Your subconscious mind may be storing limiting and fearful emotions regarding money, or feelings of lack instead of abundance. These emotions are the byproduct of your experiences growing up and they are driving all of your financial beliefs and behaviors in present day.
Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind
If you want to live a financially fulfilling and abundant life, you will need to reprogram and rewire your subconscious mind. Our life experiences are downloadable files that are stored in the subconscious mind.
Every time an experience happens to us, we store the meaning we attach to it into the subconscious and these meanings become our belief systems that drive our current behavior. If the subconscious beliefs you have about money are limiting and rooted in fear, your current relationship with money will suffer. In order live a financially abundant and fulfilling life you will need to reprogram and rewire your subconscious mind and instill new belief systems and meanings about money and only then will your behaviors around money finally change.
Financial Therapy Methodology
Our behaviors and daily habits are incredibly automatic and while we can consciously try to stop a behavior, we all know how difficult it can be once it’s habitual. It’s because you are using your conscious mind, but the real power of your mind lies within the subconscious, which controls more than 95% of our daily activities. Hence if you really want to change a behavior at the root, we need to tap into our subconscious and change our behavior at this level of the brain.
The way to tap into our subconscious mind and reprogram our beliefs about money is through hypnotherapy.
When we’re awake in our conscious state, our brains are in the beta state. When in hypnosis, our brain waves are in the alpha state. In the alpha state, the subconscious mind is able to recall memories and events in our lives that we have long forgotten, moments when our belief systems were embedded into us.
Taping into these moments are incredibly important for understanding the root cause of your limiting behaviors. It is also in the alpha state that the subconscious mind is open to new ideas and belief systems that we are able to embed into the mind which will be the basis of our new financial behaviors and patterns.
