I've only been here a few days and can already see that many are finding money a difficult issue - hence the title of this forum.
For me, it has brought the freedom to spend time writing posts on forums like this one, and doing wonderful journeys through darkness and light known to us all as the Transformation Team course.
If money is needed to keep this wondeful venture going, then money is what is needed. But, are we going to let those who set the 'money rules' continue to rule us forever, by creating division, strife and difficulty, even here? Aren't 'they' a part of us anyway, people with whom we share sacred love and ho'oponono (sorry if i haven't spelt it correctly) and how does hanging onto these old beliefs help anyone? We're here because we believe in transformation - and we know where that one starts! Right here at home. We're all right on the cusp of wonderful new happenings. Let's give the process a shove!
I don't want to trample on anyone else's beliefs so instead I'd like to share my story of manifesting abundance because if I can do this, then we all can ..... and then where can we go after that? The possibilities are endless for manifesting our dreams - and not just money.
I don't know if it's OK to post a link here at this point as the article is really quite long. If anyone wants me to post it in full, just le tme know, otherwise it's here.

I've attached it too as I just found that option.
Hi Marion,
I am delighted to see that this process uses EFT. Yippee! I have already learned the technique. It's going to be fun to try this out! Many thanks for sharing!
!!!!!
In gratitude, joy, and love,
Bodhi
You're welcome Bodhi.
If you ever need anyone to bounce ideas off, give me a shout!

...looking forward to learning more about EFT. As I said, I got turned off by it before. But I'd like to learn more.
On the topic of Manifesting...essentially this is a process of applying spiritual laws to specific circumstances. We've had a smattering of good remarks here and there in the various forums on the subject of Manifesting, but no focused discussion. What I have found over the last year or two is that manifesting sometimes happens in dramatic and specific ways. But for me as an application, it is fairly spastic - meaning it happens but I don't have much control. Yet.
Abundance is a paradigm. If we hear abundance and think money, that is OP (old paradigm). Money is neither evil nor obsolete, but it is not the definition of abundance. What we have discovered, my wife and I, is that while we remain poor as mice, our lives are abundant and overflowing in every way that matters. I won't bore you with the list of things I am thankful for unless you want me to. But I think that abundance is one of the paradigms we must fully examine in light of the new reality. It isn't always easy to be thankful, but it is always simple.
Time is money - but time is love, too. Does it follow that love is money? No. It follows that reality is fluid and that time is the measure of many things. Money is like water...a resource that does not come from all taps to our endless frustration. Abundance simply is. It is everywhere, all around us, and there is nothing that prevents us from tapping into it.

I don't see money as being outside abundance any more than it is the definition of it, but rather as part of the same infinite energy supply. We can all tap into whatever form of abundance we focus on when we achieve the vibrational resonance with it. And to do that we need to eliminate or transform our limited beliefs and fears.
Why shouldn't money grow in the ground or fall from the sky? Because we've been told for thousands of years by the ruling elite that it has to be earned. Money can be love just as any other form of abundance - we can create our own reality, so isn't it time to step out of the box that 'the money lords' try to keep us in and go visioning and manifesting something new.
It isn't money that's the problem here; it is our beliefs about it.

You're quite right. Goes without saying - probably too often.
Money can be love just as any other form of abundance - we can create our own reality...
This, I guess, is the hardest part of the New Paradigm for me to grasp. My brain knows all about money. But there's something within that jumps back like it was scorpions. I understand some but not all of this, it's my peculiar issue and flaw. Now that I'm finally at the point in my life when I could probably use money with something approaching wisdom, I have absolutely no idea how to make some. However, I also have noticed that many things around me and within me are changing, and that part of the new reality around me is being manifested by me.
So I'm actually a happy camper. In the first place, my life is absolutely overflowing and abundant with everything EXCEPT money. And second, all the changes I see are good.

Most awesome, Marian! Thank you so much for breathing a blast of fresh, exciting air on the topic of money in this forum. And thank you, too, for bringing in EFT. I have heard wonderful things about it from dozens of people, though I have not had time yet to dive into it. I'm getting closer to doing that and feeling even more inspired by you.
Money is not a major issue for me. I have always known that I am taken care of and always had more than enough money to live a full, rich, exciting life, though I have never been wealthy by traditional standards. I tell people that though I don't have much money, I am one of the richest people in the world, not because of the amount of money I have, but because I honestly believe I have more than enough money. How many do you know who feel they have enough money? Even most rich people are still stuck on the picture of wanting more and feeling they don't have enough.
As the biggest financial supporter of the Transformation Team at this time, I really have no problem putting out tens of thousands of dollars to keep this work going. I am deeply passionate about this great work and fully trust that wonderful people like you will come along to support the work of our most awesome team before my funds are exhausted. Thank you for being part of my dream come true, Marian.
I find that most people's relationship with money changes little throughout their lives unless they make a deep commitment to transforming their old patterns as you did. I could set my intentions to become truly wealthy and fully trust I would use that wealth wisely, but I really feel no need or interest in being wealthy by traditional standards. I already have immense spiritual and emotional wealth and plenty of money.
My core area of lack is time. That is where I really could use some EFT work. Maybe you could help me with this, Marian. If only I had the time to really dive into it ;o) Thanks so much for your generosity both financially and in spirit, Marian. I very much look forward to hearing more from you.
With abundant love and joy flowing,
Fred
Thank you Fred and I like being part of someone's dream! Cool.
Time, money, love, joy - all aspects of abundance. If you, or anyone else here, would like to work on manifesting more of something, I'd be happy to offer some coaching.
I don't know what you or anyone is going to imagine is involved here, but it really doesn't take much time.
Learning EFT is a doddle for anyone.
Applying EFT itself takes maybe 6 minutes a day.
What is needed, rather than time, is focus. The tail ender limiting beliefs tend to pop up at all sorts of times, and it's really just a case of noticing them and working with them, or emailing me if you can't quite see what's going on. Anyone who's come through the Transformation Team course can easily manage this!
I myself was coached via email mostly, with a daily exchange of thoughts - one or two sentences most days. Having that outside view from another person really helped me to keep focused.
I have since coached someone else, and again, it is via email.
As I have manifested the money I need at the moment, I am offering this free to two people. Fred, I'd really love it if one of them was you as you seem to need it right now. I have a dream too, and I hope you're part of it.
with love and light

...into someone with a positive, meaningful cash flow, then I believe you can do anything you say. Up to the challenge? Believe me, I won't try to hold you back!

I am thrilled and honored that you would offer this, Marian. I would absolutely love to do this with you. I will be in contact by email. Thank you so much for your loving, giving spirit. You are a shining example of the spirit of abundance for which many of us strive.
With sacred love and gratitude flowing,
Fred
Thank you for your very interesting article and information on EFT. I have not read the whole article yet, I only found it now but I will do some more investigating. Living In South Africa, it is now nearly past my bedtime, so tomorrow will have to do.
It is great to have you here with your wonderful positive attitude. Just what the Team needed after the recent bout of negativity.
Love U

The technique you described is very intriguing and would work with any facet of our lives. I am very interested to look further into it. Thanks for posting this article and bringing it to our attention. It feels exciting.
If I had such a place I would start a commune. Stefa, you are a blessed spirit. Anyone who knows the flute solo from Glück's Orphée et Eyrudice knows whereof I speak.
(no, I still don't have that spelled right...gotta go look it up. I can hear the music, tho)
I too would like to learn more about EFT. Would it be possible to present such knowledge in a forum here at the Portal, instead of individual emails?

Dave - it is you who can do anything you say - you can turn yourself into anything you want.
As Abraham-Hicks teaches, it's not so much about creating the desire, because we all have desire as a natural part of our being, but eliminating the resistance, and that's where EFT really comes to the fore.

I'm fairly new to TT and I've been finding the forums to be very interesting and relevant. As has been pointed out in many postings here, abundance is not limited to the area of money or materialism, and there is a relationship in manifesting various types of abundance.
For most of my life, I lived with a "lack" mentality, of having insufficient money and that this was preventing me from having the things I wanted from life. At some point, without awareness of it, I started applying what I later learned were spritual laws of abundance. By believing that I deserved to have my monetary needs met, they were, even though I actually had less money than before. Of course, if I had money, the things that money buys would be of higher quality, but I no longer feel deprived of material things that I need, as the things that I've really needed has been provided one way or another. People often ask me how I live on the income that I have and I realized that if I tried to answer that question, I'd realize that it's logically not possible and I wouldn't be able to continue doing it.
But this has not been true of non-material things and I have not been successful in appying the same principles to bring abundance in health, relationships with people, or finding time to do all the things I'd lilke to. The idea of EFT never apealed to me before, but it does seem worth investigating as I think I've fallen into a trap of hopelessness, especially concerning bringing people into my life, and the EFT techniques may be able to break through the limitations this hopelessness has caused.

EFT is freely available to learn in many different ways. You could download the free manual from the web site www.emofree.com or buy the DVDs which come with a license to copy and give (not sell) 100 times.
It is a basically simple technique, but its application can be enhanced with skill and experience.
People's individual processes will be different although the overall approach is the same. Other than sharing my own experience, I'm not sure how else to present the information within the portal. Essentially there's nothing new or radical and we've all done some challenging to our belief system to get through the course. With EFT, changing or transforming ourselves just becomes easier.
I like the analogy provided in 'Ask and It Is Given' of driving you car at 100 miles per hour. When you hit a tree, it is a much bigger problem than if you were driving at 5 mph. However, this doesn't mean you need to slow your driving speed, but rather that you need to remove the trees. (Car = creative energy and Tree = resistance). EFT can help you to drive faster and remove the trees!

Steve, I think you've brought an important truth to light. I've actually been pretty prosperous a couple of times, with a nice house, big yard, all the good stuff, and really didn't appreciate the abundance I had. In later years I've had to learn to do on very limited means - so much so that it sometimes amazes me that we pull it off at all. And yet, I find that my life is more abundant that it has ever been - in health, relationships, creativity, energy, and yes, material things too. We live on less money than either of us has ever had to...and yet we're surrounded by real art, antiques, beautiful objects, living plants, loving pets....I could go on and on.
I fully realize that at some point, maybe even before arriving on earth, I must have made some crucial choices about money. I can't think of any other reason why I have so little. I have an actual fear of money, I think. So I've learned to live, rather successfully, without it. Or without much of it. I'd love to turn that around, now that I'm getting old...but I find I have no idea how. Even so, I find that my consciousness of abundance, and the gratitude I feel for it, has increased over and over with every passing year. As for enough money to retire on, maybe it'll come from my writings or my paintings...or not at all. I'd be lying if I said i was unconcerned. But I'm also, today, a very very happy soul.

I've just put an abbreviated version of the original Palace of Possibilities article by Gary Craig in the forum for Tools for Transformation which I hope will be helpful.

I first came across EFT nearly two years ago and have been working with it off and on since that time. I have found it to be tremendously helpful, though I have not been able to make the kind of breakthrough in personal development and abundance issues I hope for. I will be attending a workshop this coming weekend and am hoping that something will come out of that experience to propel me forward. Gary Craig will be there and I look forward to seeing him work.
Garry
If there is anyone who already knows EFT, I have a friend who is willing to coach one or two people in abundance.

Hello, Marian:
I am relatively new to TT, but I am familiar with EFT and have been working with it for more than a year now on my own. I would be tremendously interested in exploring the possibility of working with a coach on the subject of abundance. I've certainly made some progress on my own, but I seem to be rather stuck at the moment! Also, as I mentioned in another post, I will be attending a workshop with Gary Craig this weekend which I am really looking forward to as I may be able to improve my knowledge and results significantly in a relatively short period of time. Thanks for your offer and I look forward to hearing from you!
Garry
