Remember the old story about frogs? Put a frog in boiling water and he will jump right out. Put a frog in tepid water and slowly turn up the flame and he’ll continually adjust until he allows himself to be boiled alive.

Terrible story. And yet many of our money stories are just like this.

You started out as a beautiful, healthy, robust frog — a Soul that knows its natural abundance.

Then you came to the planet.

You were exposed to your parents’ money beliefs. You lived life with thousands of other people and their money stories. You listened to the news. You experienced some desire. You experienced some lack. You learned how to *earn* money. You felt good when you had resources and bad when you didn’t. You were praised when you followed a path that others felt would provide you security.

And the money water grew warmer.

You connected more and more with outside forces regarding money rather than hearing your own Soul. You pushed hard and achieved. You were praised for pulling yourself up.

And the money water grew warmer.

You started watching your bank account (both present and future bank accounts) and felt good or bad based on how much was in it. You wanted to follow your passion, so you left behind a salary, but forgot that Source was the source of your money, not a paycheck, so money dipped for a while and you attributed it to your passion, not your connection.

And the money water started to boil.

You recognized that something was wrong, but you weren’t sure what it was (that water was warm and comfortable before), so you kept re-believing all the old themes and stories while you soft boiled from the inside out and your bank account became harder and harder to maintain.

My friends, it is time to get out of the pot.

You can use affirmations, visualizations, mantras, etc. — they are all amazing tools — but they are never going to work from inside the pot. They will only turn down the water a degree or two.

The way to get out of the pot is to remember you are in relationship with the Soul, with the essence of Money. The you that is in relationship with the Soul of Money is a naturally abundant Soul NOT the human experience you’ve had with money.

When you reclaim your abundant nature, when you reconnect with your Soul around money, you shatter the pot you’ve been swimming in. You have a whole new vantage point regarding money. Now your bank account will start to change.
