The Secret Visualization Tool
A prosperity consciousness was not something I grew up with. I grew up with statements like, “what do you think your last name is: Rockefeller!!!” or “money doesn’t grow on trees.” We all have paradigms about money. We all have messages we were told about money. What were yours?
I never really thought much about money. I have spent the first half of my career in the helping professions as a adolescent counselor and as a therapist. I used to joke that going to social work school was an entrance into poverty. And I suppose I really believed that but didnt’ care to change the focus of my work.
Bob Proctor helped me reframe my thinking about money. He said, “Money is only used for two things. One, it’s to make you comfortable, and the more comfortable you are, the more creative you will become. And the other purpose is it enables you to extend the service you provide far beyond your own presence.”
And he is right. It is hard to have a giving spirit, a spirit of opulence, when you are worried if you can keep your house or pay your bills. So many people today are struggling to make ends meet, to change the way they think about money.
The people from The Secret put out a visualization tool that I found very powerful. I include it here in case you want to revisit and revise your money paradigm.

Susan,
Great post. I too grew up hearing that money does not grow on trees, we can’t afford that and where do you think that money is coming from. After watching The Secret and reading all I could about changing my way of thinking I realized how we attract the negative with these thoughts and statements. Look forward to reading more posts from you.

Great article! I think so many of us were brought up with a poverty consciousness. For some people the message of the Secret is hard to believe, too good to be true. We really need to re-train our minds, focus on what we want and develop a “prosperity consciousness” that you speak about, to move us forward. Keep up the great work. Your blog is “rich” and will help many people. Thank you for being a shining light to us all. Veronica

Growing up with parents and grandparents with a” just getting by ” attitude as role models, is hard to shake. Especially when you are a little older. This site gives you a chance to see that there is a positive, constructive and healthy way to change that attitude. Thank you for the insights.

Thank you Brenda, Veronica and Cheryl. We all grew up with messages that stay with us today. Learning how to harness the power of our subconscious mind so that we can no longer be run by the old messages is one of the diaglogues I hope we can have here on this blog.
It is my hope to have share what is working for me and hearing what is working for you.
