Money. For some of this, this is causing a lot of suffering.

 

• Not enough money to cover basic living expenses like rent and food.

• Fear of having even less money than we do, in the near future.

• Tying up our sense of self and our self-worth with money: feeling the crushing shame and embarrassment of not having it, of needing to ask for it.

• Feeling like there's something wrong with us when we see everyone else making money and we can't do it.

• Feeling dependent on others to support us, feeling trapped, unable to do all of the fun things money can buy.

• Feeling completely controlled by whether we have money or not.​

 

But what if it doesn't need to be like this? What if money's absence has come as a kind teacher to hold us by the hand and take us to what we want even more than money? What if we can actually love ourselves in spite of no money, what if we can find a freedom we didn't even know to dream of?

 

And what if, from this place of surrender, we finally allow money to flow into our experience?​

 

I can describe the experience of not enough money so vividly because I am describing my own experience. For years, I believed that I wasn't capable of making money, or, enough money, anyway. And wouldn't you know it ("As life would have it," says Katie), I was a single mom and this supported my story so well: I was more convinced than ever that I couldn't make enough money. And I didn't.

 

But ... did I not have enough? Or was I just seeing it this way?  I was very sure I was in reality and seeing my situation as it truly was ... but inquiry has shown me otherwise.​

 

I know the sheer terror of 'not enough' and the pain of shame and humiliation:

• Credit card being declined face-to-face in front of people.

• Can't pay for the groceries.

• Seeing no way out of the situation except death ... but not wanting that.

• Asking a friend, again, to borrow money.

• Asking a parent, again.

• And no end to the struggle in sight.

• Knowing we can't rely on ourselves to make money, that we will never be able to do it.​

 

If money has been a source of struggle for you -- even if it's been a more mildly stressful experience than mine -- I welcome you to come and question what you're believing around money and find the peace that no money can buy.​

 

In fact, this is what our struggles with money are for: to act as a portal into a much greater awareness.

This is an introductory course for you to learn the practice of self-inquiry so you don't have to have any prior experience with it. That said, people who are familiar with The Work can join as well and you will benefit from it. The power is in actually doing the practice, not in merely understanding how to do it, so if you are experienced in this work then you will have ample chance to practice every week and grow your awareness. ​

 

This course is oriented around experiential learning, meaning this is a highly practical course and you will leave with a strong grasp of how to do The Work. See the self-inquiry section on my home page to read more.
