How To Attract More Money Into Your LifeLetting go can often mean having more, and having peace of mind.
BY: Maggie McCauley
In order to gain, we must let go.
We all want more money and more peace of mind in our lives, especially given all the uncertainties
in the world today. The more chaotic theenvironment, the more we naturally want security and
peace. We can have this and more. However, it means giving up old familiar ways of how we think
about security. Letting go of what we know can be a tall order for some of us; even if it is the key to
getting what we want.
The last couple of years have been a chaotic time economically. Chaos can bring with it new
understanding and awareness, though. It has been a time to weigh decisions about money more
deeply. We have all been directly impacted on some level by the current economic situation
whether it is from increased prices at the grocery store, a drop in our 401Ks or having to make
different choices about what we purchase and when.
No matter how we look at it, the current economic climate has raised our consciousness about
money, how we spend it and our relationship with it. Some of us are tightening our belts while
others are jumping in on the bargains to be had in real estate and the stock market. An optimist will
see the current crisis as an opportunity; a pessimist will see it as a bleak and dreary time.
If I said that there is an abundance of all we need right now, many people would probably think I
was living in a different country. However, there really isan abundance of all we need; its a
universal truth. It is just a matter of changing perspectives. Generally, we tend to view abundance
and prosperity in terms of quantity not quality. We have been conditioned to believe that the morewe have or own the more abundant and prosperous we are.
Prosperity and abundance are not about having more money or things. Prosperity and abundance
are a way of being, a consciousness and a connection to the wholeness of creation. We all have the
potential for prosperity and abundance in our lives; it is the natural order.
When we think in terms of quantitymore of somethingit can set us up to come from a place of
lack, a belief that we dont have enough. When we feel that we dont have enough, we will cling to
whatever it is we think we dont have enough of because it gives us a sense of security. However,
the act of clinging creates a false sense of security and works to block the natural flow. The only
way out of lack thinking is to let go of old ideas that no longer serve us, let go of clinging.
When we cling to our stuff, we block the flow, too. Although clutter and disorganization are a
natural part of the order and flow of life-- nothing stays perfectly ordered forever-- when our stuff
accumulates too fast and its not managed, this natural order gets disrupted. Think of it this way; a
log jam on a river doesnt entirely impede the flow of the river, but it certainly slows it down. In the
same way, when we cling to our accumulated stuff, the flow is blocked. When our closets, drawers,

garage, basement or attic become jammed with our stuff, nothing can get in! Letting go is the
only way to restore the natural order.
Letting go is the ultimate challenge because it involves overcoming an emotional attachment to old
ways of thinking and behaving. We have been conditioned to hold on, take charge and make things
happen. For those of us who have ever been white water rafting weve heard words similar to
these from the guide: If you fall out of the raft, dont thrash around in the water trying to find
something to hold onto. Instead, let go, point your feet downstream and allow the river to carry
you to the next landing.
If only the act of letting go were as easy as saying it! Our emotions complicate the letting go
process and create the resistance or discomfort we experience. When we stop resisting and let go,
though, we are released from our discomfort.
Let go of the old and open up to the new!
There is a powerful law that, if followed, can change our life: It is a law that is always working in our
life whether we are aware of it or not. It is a law that can bring anything to us just by shifting how
we think. This powerful law is the universal Law of Circulation.
We know it from these sayings:As you give so you receive; What goes around comes around; You
get back what you put in; Like attracts like.
The Universal Law of Circulation is all about realizing that what we give out will come back to us.
Paying attention to how we feel, how we think, our intentions and our attitudes are keys to how
this law will work for us or against us. Letting go of resistance and thoughts of lack are also key
elements as to how the law operates for us. We want nothing in our way blocking the flow.
Because it is a universal law it is always in operation, always flowing, and we choose how we will
connect to it.
There are some important things to remember as we begin to work with this law:
When we are coming from a place of quantity, more, were off course. It is imperative that we be responsible in our spending habits--never give out what cant be
accounted for.
Any act engaged in purely for personal gain will block the flow. The Universe abhors a vacuum and will always rush in to fill it. And when we stop worrying about not having enough, that is the time when everything will come to
us.
Here is how you can incorporate this powerful law into your life today:
1. Unclutter your life. Taking the time to clear out and organize all the physical spaces in yourenvironment, even the car and the shed, will do wonders for opening up the flow.
2. Complete unfinished tasks.3. Release things quickly instead of holding on to them. Put a smile on someone elses face by
donating your stuff.

4. Organize your finances. Talk to a financial planner if you can. Learn more about financialmatters. Make a monthly budget. Clean out your brief case, purse or wallet. Open an
Unexpected Money account at the bank.

We can have more money and a greater sense of peacefulness in our livesin any economy. If we are ready
to develop a new relationship with money, stop clinging and let go of lack mentality, we can begin to view
life from an optimists perspective. From that perspective we will be able to find gratitude in everything and
havefaithin the Divine Order of life. Prosperity can be our reality.
