Using Financial Fear As a Positive Force
Last week, I was at a networking meeting attended by a number of consultants who work with high-level managers. One of the consultants, whose clients are mostly successful entrepreneurs, mentioned that fear was prevalent among his clients because of the current economic uncertainty. I was surprised to hear that this group shared the same kind of financial fear experienced by so many workers around the world.
A number of my high net worth friends have also shared with me that they have fears about their financial future. Wealth, it appears, is no barrier to emotional discomfort.
Is fear creeping into your thoughts about your financial position? Or perhaps it has become one of your main emotions.
Fear run amok is likely to lead you to make unsound decisions about your finances and other aspects of your life, such as taking on too much debt or arranging a high-risk mortgage.. It also has a detrimental effect on your health because of the ongoing adrenal responses stimulated by fear. Continue reading

Heal the Feelings Keeping You & the World from Peace & Prosperity
How are you feeling about your finances? A lot of people I talk to tell me that they are experiencing anything from mild anxiety to downright fear because the future is so uncertain.
And the other feeling I’ve been tapping into is sorrow, or sadness, because of what has been lost, and for oh so many other reasons. (Think polar bears.)
You may already know that I believe our feelings are the creative force behind our life stories. People often think their life stories are causing their feelings when, if fact, it’s the feelings that create the stories.
Which is the good news. Because if you don’t like the way your life is going, by releasing habitual feelings that you have been carrying for years and installing new emotional responses, you can change the outcome of your life stories.
And releasing emotions gets easier and easier as people learn new techniques such as BSFF, the Power Word technique, EFT, and many forms of energy healing that are becoming more popular by the day.
The Tipping Point
The world situation reflects the accumulation of the feelings of earth’s inhabitants. Our combined fear, sorrow, anger, shame, alientation and other feelings are all being acted out through the current economic crisis and growing political unrest.
Because of the intensity of the situation, energy runs high, providing the opportunity for a major shift. If just a small portion of the people release their fear, sorrow, anger, shame, and alienation and allow feelings of authentic inner peace to emerge, the shift can happen.
This is using the Law of Attraction on a global scale.
You can join us on April 2 (or by recording) and take a giant step towards releasing the feelings defining your financial situation — and the world crisis — that are interfering with personal and global peace and prosperity.

The Worst of the Fear Seems to Be Over
From the movement of the DOW and the slight loosening of the credit markets, it feels as if the worst of the fear is over. Although there may be downward movement from time to time, it would appear that we won’t experience anything as bad as we did two weeks ago.
Assuming all goes well on election day in the US, the end of the long election journey should also add some stability as uncertainty is replaced with visible activity on the part of whomever is elected.
Obama is surrounding himself with high-level advisers including Warren Buffet, Paul Volker, and a number of Clinton-era finance people. It has been said that Obama is highly interested in the economic question and goes deeply into issues.
Although there were major screw-ups by those who should know better, they appear to be highly motivated to get the economic train back on track. It’s probably going to be a bit of a long haul, especially in a world that craves instant-gratification, but apparently, we have avoided a disaster.
Riding Out the Storm
We’ve all watched the movie: A terrible storm batters a ship at sea. Wind blows and waves build as the audience holds their breath waiting to see if those on board live or die. Sometimes there’s a happy ending as the storm subsides, the rough waters calm, and the ship and it’s passengers survive. Other scenarios end in tragedy.
Right now, the planet is the midst of a gigantic financial storm, and we are collectively holding our breath while the waves toss us about and we wait for the storm to end. Storms always do end, but we can’t assess the damage until it is over.
This is a really big storm, and like hurricanes Katrina and Ike will leave a lot of destruction in its path. We can’t avoid the fact that we will have to deal with the destruction and go through a period of rebuilding. It’s not going to be quick and for many it’s not going to be easy.
How well you ride out the storm depends, in part, on your coping skills as the world around you morphs into something new. You can choose to watch the movie–or not–and either stay detached or get caught up in the terror of the rough ride.
For many years, I have been learning how to detach and watch the drama. It takes a lot of practice and a determination not to get caught up in the emotions of the moment while being able to empathize with those who do.
I’d like to teach how to do this to anyone who wants to learn to thrive and prosper no matter what is going on. In the first month, in a portion of my new 6-month program, Build Your Money Muscles for Financial Strength & Security, I present techniques for overcoming financial fear.
And the teleclasses that are part of the program provide the opportunity for people to connect to each other and share solutions.
I’m also going to offer free coaching via a new show on BlogTalkRadio.com, which will take place on Fridays at noon Eastern, 9 Pacific, 7 pm GMT.
I hope you will check out the risk-free program today and listen to the show on BlogTalkRadio.com starting on Friday, October 17.
