Here’s the letter that came in:

“Hi Morgana. My concern is that every time I get a job and start making money, I can never have enough money because something always comes up (i.e paying bills, etc…) and don’t have enough to buy things that I really want (i.e car, house, etc…). I want to just be financially free and live happy without stressing over not having enough money. I mean I don’t necessarily have to be rich but just have enough. Am I cursed financially or why is this happening to me?”

I answered in a video:

I love and believe in all this vision board/intention setting/beliefs change your reality filter stuff. (Full Disclosure: I don’t even have time to create vision boards anymore. I’m manifesting too fast for that. These days by the time I finish telling a friend what I want–such as, “I want to spend my next birthday in New Zealand”–I’m getting a phone call telling me I’ll be spending my next birthday in New Zealand…)

And there’s a big BLIND SPOT in all of this. (more…)

One of the big distinctions between Financial Alchemy
and all those other “Law of Attraction” programs is we
make money a PERSON. You will connect with a
person, especially if that person is HOT, on a more
intimate and emotional level than you will every enjoy
with an idea. “Universal Principles” are not going to
make your heart pound like a lover.

But like any other relationship–and even more so
when you can’t physically touch your Honey–the
sparks cool and you need to wake it up from
time to time.

Here are some recommendations: (more…)

I shouldn’t be writing this. Affirmations are such big business for my friends and colleagues and the people who hire me. And affirmations are stupid.

Why?

When you can’t get (or leave) a job, or pay your mortgage, or find a date… chanting to yourself, “I’m a millionaire,” isn’t going to solve your problems.

Don’t get me wrong. I LIKE affirmations. I think they’re useful. I have a few in my book. I’m the kind of girl who makes things happen by thinking, “I want that.” But I do a lot of inner work to make that possible.

Affirmations are like putting pretty make-up on a canker sore: it doesn’t cover the problem. (more…)

I keep running across people who hear me try to describe Financial Alchemy, and they think I’m a Law of Attraction coach. Noooo! Unless, perhaps, you took your LOA to a Barry White concert.

Financial Alchemy’s magic is activated differently. Here’s a cheat sheet of easy distinctions that stop people in their tracks:

1) While magical attraction happens all the time with Financial Alchemy, it’s NOT about what you attract. It’s not about what you can get from the universe.

2) Financial Alchemy is about romance. How good a lover are you, baby? We’re talking that generosity of spirit that comes with being head over heels in romantic love for another human being. “How can I make you happy, you beautiful, loveable man (or woman), just because I love you for you, whether you’re money or not, and making you happy gives me joy?”

3) But here’s the key: it’s not going to work while there’s a trace of that monster who has persecuted you in the past, either through financial troubles or any other kind of abuse that lowered your self-worth or feellings of safety in the world. This is what I call the Money Monster. You do NOT want to make your monster happy! You want to ANNIHILATE him! No fuffy white light and dolphins there, baby.

4) Thinking good thoughts and raising your vibrations aren’t enough for a total and radical transformation.

5) Your Money is another person. You don’t need to come up with the answers or know your next step. Just ask him (or her). They’ll tell you.

6) Your Money Honey is hot and personal and loves YOU more than anyone else in the world.

7) Yeah, there’s some overlap with the “Law” of Attraction: feeling good is more attractive than feeling bad. But there’s a realness to a relationship with a human-like “Money Honey” that LOA misses. You get to fight, gripe, yell, and want to rip your Money Honey’s heart out at times. You won’t be punished. Those fights are actually GOOD for the relationship. They shake you out of complacency and take the relationship to a whole new level.

And the make up sex is fabulous.

I’ve been getting pretty annoyed with this whole campaign to aim low in love. If you aim for less than you want, you just might get it, and that’s not a good thing…

There’s nothing more attractive to what you want, especially in realms of romance and love, than feeling good about yourself. And nothing kills your sense of self worth faster than settling for what doesn’t make you happy.

There’s a nasty little trend going around the love advice community, telling women (and men) that they should lower their standards, that they’re wrong to hold out for that special someone they admire, respect, and desire. Can you imagine? In fact there’s a best selling book out there that argues women should settle for whoever will take them. This is a perfect formula for misery. (No wonder there are so many unhappy marriages out there!)
