Developing a Money Story

[Electra]

Hello,

I have heard the term 'money story' a couple of times from some coaches. Now I am interested in NLP's advice on developing a money story?

I look forward to reading your suggestions.

Thanks,

Hello,

I haven't received a reply to my question so I am asking it differently. I think Michael is back at the office as well so I ask that one of his assistants pass along my question to get his advice.

What is the NLP method of developing a conscious healthy relationship with money? I have heard the suggestion to develop a money story; what is the NLP equivalent to developing a healthy money story?

Thanks,
Electra

Hi Electra

I have never come up on the term money story- yet I think having and understanding of what money really is- then allows us to- manipulate our consciousnesses in away that allows us to be empowered with money- this 47 minute animation called money as debt is a real eye opener and you might consider watching it.

Hey, Electra -

I actually find that getting rid of (or at least diminishing your belief in) your old "money story" is even more powerful than actively creating a new one.

You can do this through things like "The Work" (www.thework.org), "The Abundance Course" (www.releasetechnique.com), and NLP. 

One thing I like to do with clients is have them right down their habitual money worry thoughts and give them a name, i.e. "the bag lady" thought, the "girl who let down her parents and wasted her education thought", etc.

That often makes it easier to "spot the thought" and not get caught up in thinking it's real!

Happy exploring,
michael

Thanks Jay and Michael!

I'm going to use this information and see where it leads me. I look forward to posting my results here next month.

Take care,

I am a candidate in The Work Certification Program [www.TheWork.com] in case you need help with the method.  There is also The Work Hotline that you can contact either to (1) ask questions about The Work or (2) get free facilitation about your stories/stressful thoughts ...

Now I have a question:
What's the difference between the Release Technique and the Sedona Method?

Hi Ahmad

They are the same process just being marketed by different names-

I would qualify Jay's answer slightly, Ahmad!

Both the Sedona method and the Release technique are directly derived from the work of Lester Levenson, but they are taught in sufficiently different ways that I've found most people have a more positive response to one than the other.

In most basic terms, I would say the Release technique is taught as a more somatic, body-based process, where the Sedona method is taught as a slightly more mind-based process.  Both are excellent, and the main teachers (Larry Crane for the Release technique and Hale Dwoskin for the Sedona method) are both masters at their craft.

Happy exploring,
