WWTN #11 -- Poverty Consciousness

October 9, 2007

Perhaps this is because of all the sage I had to use on a recent client, to really smoke out something big, but this morning as I walked Donovan (my beloved Boston Terrier), I realized something had been shaken loose in me as well, and was ready to break free.

I listened to my body for a moment. Uh oh, there it was, my old friend--one that's kept me "safe" from the unknown, from moving beyond a point where I have been comfortable for so long--good old poverty consciousness!

Very ironic considering Lakshmi, Goddess of Prosperity is one of my main spirit guides! How much easier it is to look at and help release other folks' blocks.

So this morning I said, Lakshmi, I really want to be rid of this once and for all. I need to break it wide open. The poverty consciousness is here, I asked, because of other spirits' belief systems glomming on to and clouding up mine, right?

Other spirits, yes, she said, and other people.

Whew. Ok, so can you help me today with this? No, she said.

I realized I had worded it in too general of a way. I knew what she wanted me to say. Ok then, Lakshmi, can you help me with this NOW?

Yes, she said.

Let go of poverty consciousness. Let the waves wash over you.

Ok, I said. Waves of what? Is it water? Is it a cleansing water? Air? A breeze perhaps?

She did not answer and her silence told me it did not matter. I was too much in the head and not letting go. So we went through it several times.

Let go of poverty consciousness. Let the waves wash over you.
Let go of poverty consciousness. Let the waves wash over you.
Let go of poverty consciousness. Let the waves wash over you.
Let go of poverty consciousness. Let the waves wash over you.

I knew then I was ready to deal with it. Out loud, walking my dog in the middle of the park, I said:

I let go of poverty consciousness.

Something jumped in my stomach. I realized of course, we hold these thoughts, these belief systems, in our bodies. I must hold mine in my stomach. I said out loud:

I let go of poverty consciousness.

I felt something jump in the top of my back between my spine and my shoulder. Oh, good gravy; there too? I said out loud:

I let go of poverty consciousness.

I felt something jump in my throat.

Surprise!

That, Lakshmi said, is a tool you can use to let go of poverty consciousness.

It's that simple? I asked. Why didn't I just think of that before?

She smiled, a smile filled with humor--laughing with me, not at me, of course....

And then, without her having to say a word: Of course, I said. Most things in life ARE that simple. It is we, the humans, who try to make things complicated.

No more complications. With Lakshmi's permission, I give you the easiest tool in the world to assist you in letting go of poverty consciousness. You can use it as often as you'd like. Say it out loud:

I let go of poverty consciousness.

Try it, and see what jumps!

Thank you, Lakshmi.
