What a strong question and concept. Money issues are very rarely about money.
Chances are good though, money issues also show up in the bedroom. Both stemming
from the energy centers of the sacral and root chakras, sexual energy and money
are closely linked. The solar-plexus chakra has a strong influence though it
isn’t as directly connected in most cases. The sacral chakra is often called
the sexual chakra. Sexual energy isn’t
just about the act of sex, it is life force. The purpose of sex is to procreate
on the biological level, and to connect on the emotional and spiritual levels.
Sexual energy is about creativity, emotions, pleasure and feeling connected. When
the idea of what love and connection are is corrupted, such as the ideas “love hurts” and “every rose has it’s thorn”,
the beliefs “letting someone in will expose me” or “if they see me they’ll
laugh at me”, will almost always show up in money issues, and creates sexual
issues as well, whether promiscuity or inhibitions.
The root chakra being the center of stability, security and
sense of safety, and connection with the Earth and environment, any weakness or
corruption here will show up in money issues. This can show up in various ways, and one of
the easiest to spot is the “control freak”.
The control freak must know all the details of the finances, and gets
very upset if the spending is too much in their opinion, regardless the true
necessity of the spending. These are the
people who value security, and likely never really developed a sense of
security as a child. We are talking extremes here, not the mindful, responsible
people who want to ensure comfortable retirement, be confident that their
family is provided for and are happy for splurges occasionally or handle
unexpected expenses reasonably.
The top three reasons people seek help are: Money, Love, and Health.
Truly, the master keys of all three sit in the lower two
chakras. These are also where abuse issues are most strongly rooted.
Let’s first get clear on what we are talking about when I
say abuse. Of course we are talking neglect, sexual abuse of all sorts, physical
violence, verbal, emotional and psychological abuse that is severe and
evident. However, we are also talking
about how the subconscious perceives abuse.
The subconscious has no discernment between real and imagined, or who it
the action is happening to. This is why witnessing horrific things is so
traumatic, especially when there is repeated exposure. This includes television
and movies. As the adult, you know no one is actually getting hurt – even though
the stage makeup and graphics are amazingly realistic. To the child, their mind
accepts it as real, and these things may become programs of the subconscious. For
instance, watching movies where there are monsters in the basement may cause children
to avoid the basement of their own homes, especially if the basement isn’t used
much or it’s a utility room. If the basement is a fun, warm family center, such
movies are less likely to cause a child to avoid the basement because the
neuropathways in the child’s mind are etched deeply for fun and family, which
may override the fear of the movie.
There is also an issue of what is accepted in the culture.
Sarcasm, to the sensitive ones and those in a dominant theta brainwave, IS
abuse, and it is widely accepted as a humorous way of speaking. In fact, sarcasm
is confusing, quite literally backwards talk. Children, until about the age of
7, are in dominant theta brainwaves which means they are very literal, and
everything is being accepted as truth. Sarcasm is the ultimate in confusion for
children who lack the brain development of cognitive function to reason. “Mommy,
should I get ready to go?” “No, we’re only leaving here in 5 minutes.” The child
hears “no” and may go play, which exasperates the mother, then the child gets
punished or is in trouble somehow. This
feels unstable to the child, and effectively weakens the root chakra.
“What is wrong with
you?! Why don’t you ever listen?!” I told you to put on your shoes!” is
verbally abusive, though the parent in most cases has no intention of being
abusive – they are simply playing out their own subconscious programs. The
subconscious mind hears “there’s something wrong with me” and “I never listen.”
This breaks down the feeling of connectedness between parent and child, and
effectively weakens the sacral chakra.
Another example: “Why
did you do that? Only morons do that, and you’re no moron.” Well, the recipient did do what “only morons
do” so therefore, he/she must be a moron, and therefore it is unsafe to be
anything but perfect.
Moving a lot as a young child can create weakness in the
sacral and root chakras, as the child doesn’t develop deep, long friendships.
If the family connections are strong and healthy, that may be enough to provide
some stability, though the skill and desire to make friends is likely to remain
compromised.
The subconscious mind's job is to keep you safe. It doesn't discern between right and wrong, good and bad. Due to this, some things can look very, very far way, much like looking through binoculars backward, when they're really right there. Give yourself permission to turn the binoculars around.
So how does this affect money?
The energy centers and subconscious programs linked with
them. Sarcasm is confusion and instability. Subconscious programs drive
behaviour, feelings and the hormone responses of the body. When financial stability is threatened, all
the feelings and beliefs of the times they experienced instability fly to the
surface, often just below conscious awareness. This is where the “I can’t
control how I feel” comes from. There is
cellular memory at play here and this person then may exhibit abusive behaviour
towards those who are financially linked, or become compulsive in seeking
money.
The key is to notice triggers. Triggers are any time there is a strong
emotional reaction. Reaction and response are very different. You don’t choose
your reactions, whereas you do have the power to choose your responses. You are looking for those sharp moments of
reaction.
This is all about self-awareness and self-monitoring. You
can watch others and spot their triggers all day long – but can you spot your
own?
Every money problem and belief you have is linked somewhere
much deeper. Maybe it is passed down through the generations of farmers who
believe you have to work very hard for your money. Maybe it is passed down
through generations of a religious group that teaches having money is sinful or
keeps you from entering heaven. Maybe there is simple confusion about what
stability and connection are because you moved many times as a young child. Maybe
there is some cellular memory from an ancestor who “had it all” and was killed
for it, or lost it through irresponsibility.
There is also the very sensitive subject of direct sexual
abuse. Regardless how “mild” or severe, you may have an inner child split off from
the rest of you that encapsulates that time, the feelings and the memories.
This inner child is also split off energetically. All the work you do may
completely bypass the inner child, meaning the issues are still showing up in
your reality, even if they have improved.
When you look deeply, money itself is likely not the bottom issue at all.
Ready to look deeper? Time To Take Action!
First of all, pay attention to what you think and say about
sex, money and family connections. Keep a journal, make a list of things you
heard a lot growing up. Make a list of things you think, feel and say as well. Get creative here - draw pictures, use cool tools, whatever feels right to you so you can let it flow.
Follow the steps of who – what – when – why – where – how. Who said? What makes you think that? When do
you remember this happening the first time? Why is that? Where were you? How is
that? Write down the first thing that comes to mind, no matter how off-subject it may seem. It matters, it is linked, even if you can't see it yet.
This is a great start to unraveling your money and abundance
blocks. Eventually, you may find yourself running in circles. Chances are, you
have simply hit something painful enough that the subconscious went “No! Access
Denied!”
This is where it is a good idea to get some help. It is
vitally important to work with someone who holds a space of safety, especially
if dealing with sexual abuse. It may
take a single session, it may take several. Keep digging and working on the
underlying issues the money problems are showing you. It will show up in your
wallet, in your relationships sexual and non-sexual, in how your body feels,
how you feel about yourself – everywhere. Truly it is all connected. Start with the money issues. Dive deeply, and
watch a new way of being unfold.

Most of all, you deserve to be clear, balanced and open in
all your energy centers. Doing energy
clearing alone is immensely helpful – but often doesn’t change the subconscious
programs, and even when it does, the brain, cells and energy adopt the next
best thing, which often is only slightly better. Installing the positive
programs you want is vitally important.
Remember above all:
You are loved and you deserve the very best this life and Earth have to offer.
