Do spirituality and credit cards make a good marriage? Many highly artistic and spiritual people seem to have a negative relationship with money, which only further perpetuates the starving artist image.<\/p>\n

Even though I have a degree in business, I always felt I was faking it in the business world. I never wanted to work in a big corporation, but when I took low paying jobs in the in the fashion industry, I kept wondering why I wasn\u2019t making more.<\/p>\n

During my first Kundalini class at Wanderlust, a powerful image changed the way I viewed money, wealth, and finance. Somewhere between holding downward dog for five minutes (one of the hardest things I\u2019ve EVER done in a yoga class!) and another five-minute pose, I saw an image of myself happy, smiling, abundant\u2026 and rich. It wasn\u2019t like I was Scrooge McDuck swimming in a pool of money. Rather, I was rich because I had resources to accomplish meaningful things and had extra to share.<\/p>\n

Later at a business of yoga workshop, someone raised the issue about feeling bad making money as a yoga instructor. The response she received was that we need to see the transaction as an exchange in value. People are happy to pay for things that they find valuable, even if it\u2019s expensive. In fact, it\u2019s similar to reaching zero gravity in an arm balance; the buyer and seller\u2019s needs are perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to help you along your journey to achieve a positive relationship with money:<\/p>\n

1. Be financially aware<\/strong>
\nAt any given time, know how much you have in your bank account within $100. Make it a daily practice to check your books.<\/p>\n

2. Question images of cash<\/strong>
\nAsk yourself why you feel bad about making money, and answer this honestly. Did you learn it from childhood experiences?<\/p>\n

3. Rethink it as a resource<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t overthink it. Money is only valuable for what it\u2019s able to do. Certainly you have big dreams you want to chase, people to help, world problems to solve. Money is another resource that will help you make a difference.<\/p>\n

4. Know your worth<\/strong>
\nYou won\u2019t ever be able to attract wealth if you don\u2019t value yourself. So don\u2019t cheap out on that fancy latte or skip that yoga workshop. Invest in yourself so others will too.<\/p>\n

5. Feel the wealth<\/strong>
\nWe often say seeing is believing, but that only allows you to understand intellectually. To get to the core, feeling is believing. You need to feel wealth and value flow through your veins, whatever that means for you. Do this through creative visualization and soon you\u2019ll start feeling wealthy, and start acting like it.<\/p>\n

6. Let it go<\/strong>
\nIf you want wealth coming in, you\u2019ve got to be able to let it go too. Don\u2019t hard-bargain with your graphics designer; pay her for what she\u2019s worth and you\u2019ll feel the same way with others value you. Just like the breath, you\u2019ve got to let it in, then let it go.<\/p>\n

7. Save up by making more<\/strong>
\nDo you think a hypothetical yoga teacher would make more by spending less? Or would he bring more abundance into his life by offering more interesting workshops to larger audiences? You be the judge.<\/p>\n
