All too often we spend money without thinking, throwing it this way or that as we rush from the gas station to the coffee shop to the post office to drop off bills.  Even worse, some of this spending is done guiltily or with worry or resentment, infusing one’s financial life with lower-level energy.

How do you pay your bills?  Grudgingly?  Is it something you put off until the last minute?  Or do you make bill paying into a ritual of gratitude and thanksgiving, a celebration of abundance?
 
Next time you sit down with calculator and checkbook, why not bring joy to the table along with the stamps and address labels?  Perhaps, light a candle, put on some uplifting music, say a prayer; my favorite is the Unity Prayer:  “Divine Love, flowing through me now blesses and multiplies all that I am, all that I have, all that I give and all that I receive.”  Take a moment to “see’ the money going out into the world to do good, enriching the economy, multiplying, and coming back to you.  Then, consider each bill, giving thanks for the service or product and for the vendor’s faith in your ability to pay, and the money you have to satisfy the terms of the agreement.  Perhaps even write “Thank You’ on the check or envelope.
    
You will want to create a similar ritual of blessing for pocket money spent and checks written at the register.  You may wish to silently bless the money you hold in your hand as you stand in line at the grocery store, the dry cleaner’s, the bank (Yes, bless the money you give to yourself, too!) Or bless the money in advance, periodically envisioning your wallet and checkbook surrounded by Divine Light.  It really doesn’t matter what you do.  Perhaps you’ll be inspired to create your own prayer or means of blessing.  It’s all about raising your vibration and, conversely, your magnetism to money and all forms of abundance.  Surrounding your spending with consciousness elevates your energy and the energy of what you’re putting out into the world.
    
Is there an expense you find yourself responsible for, yet not 100% happy to pay?  A parking ticket?  An obligatory gift?  Spend some extra time with this expenditure before sealing the envelope or making the purchase.  Beware of spending or giving money before you’ve “gotten right” about doing so.  Do whatever is necessary here to frame it in a new light, knowing there will always be more available to you.  Then give it over to the Universe and fully release it.
    
Conscious spending eliminates guilt and resentment as well as worry.  Don’t believe me?  Try it for a week.  I also recommend recording every purchase you make in a conscious spending log if you do not already keep some kind of record of expenditures (a computer program can serve the same purpose).  And don’t forget to journal as you go through this process.  What feelings does this trigger?  What ideas?  Are you getting more clarity on your spending habits?  Are you beginning to notice some patterns emerging?  Consciousness is the first step to transformation.  When you are conscious, you are at peace, regardless of what seems to be going on “out there”.  Know that with consciousness, you are opening the door to abundance.
