Wendy Question #53

 

Dear Joshua,

Listening to your Abundance Meditation and based on what you have said in the past regarding abundance ~ and I'm talking financial abundance ~ you refer to the money issue with "need." Money will flow in the amount you need, etc.

What about what I WANT? I want more money. I don't understand how to use money as needed ~ that's almost like if I'm in debt the money will come. What if I want to have the money first ~ before I do something?

For example, I WANT to remodel my kitchen. If I remodel my kitchen without having the money first, I will then NEED money to pay for it. Is that how this works? I've been taught (most likely in the wrong way) that I need the money first and when I have the money then I can do what I want. I always have enough money to pay for the life I live ~ now I want more money to expand the life I live. Do you understand the clarification I'm looking for? Please explain how I can have enough money for all the things I want to have, be and do. As usual, I hope this makes sense. You usually know what it is I am trying to say!

With Love and Gratitude

Dear Wendy,

We always know what you're saying, it's just that sometimes we give you an answer that's different than the one you think you're asking.

You do not want money. You think you want money, but what you want in this case is a new kitchen. Money has literally nothing to do with it. The feeling of having a new kitchen is what you want. If you were given a bag of money, but could not spend it on a new kitchen, then the money would not mean anything. Don't confuse what you want with money because that is limiting. Just ask for what you want and allow it to come.

When you are thinking of buying a new house, do you wait until you have a million dollars and then buy the house? Of course not. If that were the case, very few people would own homes. Having the cash to buy a house is only one of the ways to own a house. It happens to be the most limiting way. Those who buy homes with cash usually do so after selling a home that was previously financed.

Abundance is receiving what you need when you need it. Think about breathing. You need to breathe and so the air is there when you need it. You do not want air, you want to live life in this physical realm. You are not out seeking air, you know the air will be there when you need it. If you want something, the universe will find a way to give it to you if you allow the way the universe has chosen to give it to you. If you say I want this, but only if this and this and this happen first, then you will be resisting it if it doesn't appear to be coming in the way you think it should.

If you allow for all the possibilities, you can receive all that you want.

Let's talk about the kitchen. You want a new kitchen because you think you will feel better. You will have new appliances. It will look better. It will function better. It will improve the value of your home. It will feel so good. However, you also want the cost of the kitchen to be reasonable. You do not want to over improve the home. You want it to be affordable so that you can relax about the expense. You know that you would not feel good in a million dollar kitchen because that would be too much. There are a set of desires around the kitchen and the universe is aware of all of this.

If you also tie a new condition onto this, due to your existing beliefs, you will not see how it will all unfold and therefore you will be in a state of resistance. Let's face it, you're in a state of resistance right now and this is why a new kitchen does not exist in your reality. Would you like the solution to your dilemma? Change your point of focus.

Currently your point of focus is on money and because it's not the money you really want, your desire is rather weak. What you want is a kitchen, but you're looking off away from the kitchen in the direction of money. There is weak desire around money and strong fear. There is strong desire around the kitchen and some fear as well. What are you to do? Start looking in the direction of the kitchen and remove your attention from (the lack of) money.

Buy kitchen remodeling magazines and cut out photos you like. Watch home remodeling shows about kitchens. Visit websites about kitchen remodeling. Research the appliances. Visit granite showrooms. Pick out the facet and sink. Have someone come to your house to measure the kitchen and let the designer at the kitchen store create a floor plan. Look at the 3D images of your new kitchen that is created from the floor plan. Imagine cooking in your new kitchen. Imagine parties where everyone gathers in your new kitchen. Think of the fun you'll have. Show everything to your husband and get him excited as well. Research the financing options and discover what the payment might be. Find out how much the value of your home will increase due to your new kitchen. Explore every avenue and ask many questions. This is how you become vibrationally aligned with whatever it is you want.

You think you want money because you cannot see the path to any large desire. You assume a bag of money will help you, but actually is holds you back from that which you want because you have a desire for the thing you want, not the bag of money. Isn't this an interesting subject? Did we answer your question or were you wanting us to show you were the money is buried? This is your reality and you can have, be, and do anything you desire. Focus on the desire and not the thing you think will bring you the desire. The universe will bring you what you want, so don't try to look too far down the road. Focus only on what you want and let the universe do its job.

With Love,
We are Joshua
