Ask and It Is Given Day 4: Releasing Resistance to Become Free of Debt

[Zukin]

[This thread is part of 30 Days to Success with Ask and It Is Given]

This Releasing Resistance to Become Free of Debt Process will be of the most value to you when your Emotional Set-Point is ranging somewhere between:
(10) Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
and
(22) Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

Get a notebook with several columns. In the first column, write down the total amount of each bill you receive. In the second column, write down twice the amount of each bill and imagine yourself having more than enough money and abundance to pay all your bills. Soon you will look forward to receiving your bills so you can imagine that you have twice the abundance to pay for everything.

(Note: I'm typing this from memory since I don't have the book with me right now. Feel free to correct me, or I may edit this post in a few hours)

My problem is this: what if you don't HAVE any money to pay for these bills? That's my problem. I wish I could pay them happily; I would, but I can't, so I could write the bills down and pretend I had double money, but I feel like al that energy would get blocked up when I can't pay them...

Any suggestions?

Hi oberlee,

Most of the processes in Ask and It Is Given focus on raising your emotional vibration (the theory is that once you are "vibrating" at high level emotions like love or gratitude, what you want begins to manifest easier).

So even the smallest thing you can do to raise your emotions in relation to money may be helpful. For example, you may want to sell some stuff you own on eBay. Stuff is overrated anyway and you won't miss it in comparison to the feeling of having money to take care of your expenses. Nearly everything I own fits in one suitcase. This has the added benefit of increasing the flow of money into your life, which makes you feel better about your finances. It also works nicely with the "clearing clutter for clarity" process, which I will post soon.

Hi there,

I like that premise of imagining twice as much to pay one's bills. Yesterday my daughter told me I had to write some cheques for things at her school (school just started this week and that means lots of cheques and lots of paperwork!) I caught myself telling her I don't have enough, when I stopped myself, and wrote the cheques with the most urgency attached to them.

I am in debt from student loans, and I imagine myself paying them off in cash by the end of the year. It may sound completely unrealistic to some, but at this point I learned my lesson -- don't take out loans or credit cards or even cable!

Anyway, thanks for that.

Here is the clearing clutter for clarity process:

Hi Oberlee,
I have been in the same place, just not having the money to pay the bills. A while back I had a run of unexpected bills coming at me from everywich way. It was really bringing me down. What I did to change this was completely let go and have faith. I didn’t have the money to pay the bills so there was no reason to obsess about it. This is not easy to do; I had fear of losing my house losing my car etc... I found that when I sat there trying to figure out ways to get more money the bills just kept coming. When I finally accepted the situation as it was and stopped resisting things began to improve. I took all my bills that I could not pay and put them into a folder and filed them away. My thoughts cleared and I saw new opportunities to make money. I think the key is being present. When you have tons of bills you cannot pay it is a natural reaction to start living in the future. The problem is you’re trying to deal with situations that have not happened yet, losing your home, going bankrupt aka worrying. I've found that LOA does not work when coming from desperation, I think this is the reason you hear people talk about how their prayers or intentions go unanswered. You just have to totally let go and have complete faith in the universe. Trust that the current situation which may be uncomfortable is just a step in the universe delivering what you want. I know it's hard but with practice it becomes easier. I hope this helps.
