Lesson 3: Earning an Extra Income

Earning money is something that becomes so centrally important to our lives because of how our society is structured. I would love to go back to the olden days of the bartering system or where money was backed by gold because it was simpler times. I'm sure many people agree with me, but we have to take life as it comes, and that's just not the way things are anymore. In order to survive, (and not be homeless and/or starving), we have to make an income!

Luckily, like we talked about in the last lesson, there are actually an infinite number of ways to do so. In fact, the more original and creative your idea is, the higher chance it will be considered valuable to someone. This is true in the form of inventions for example. If you can create or think something that no one else has thought of to solve a problem many people deal with, you can strike it rich! It pays to go against the grain. If you go the same way as so many others because it's comfortable, that actually makes you less valuable and more easily replaceable. That does not mean that you cannot follow in others footsteps; it just means that if you connect to your own being and decide what you really want to do with your life, you will figure out a way to monetize your passions and share them with the world.

There was an exercise that I was taught back when I worked for a spiritual healer, and it was centered around money blocks. Basically, (and I will cover this in more depth later), your body has energy systems that are connected but different in the way they operate based on where they are located. If you already know what I mean, that's great. You are in the right place, but for those that have never heard of this before, what I am explaining is called the Chakra System, and it moves up and down your entire body.

You might be thinking, "what does any of that have to with money?" Well, your very first Chakra, called your root chakra is located at the base of the spine, and this essentially is in charge of your fight or flight response. It makes sense because the base of your spine is what literally connects your nervous system to your legs. You cannot run away from danger or stand your ground and fight without your legs.

Your root chakra is centered around your safety and security. In fact, you can not advance beyond this point spiritually if your nervous system senses danger, and financial security in today's world, ties into this feeling of safety completely. If you are stressed about money, it means you have an imbalance in your root chakra, which is the foundation to the rest of the chakra points in your body. That is why feeling safe and secure, physically and financially is the first step to liberation: the body is designed to prioritize safety first. It is what is mainly responsible for keeping you alive and out of harm's way.

So, back to what I was saying before: when I was working for a spiritual healer several years ago while traveling on the Big Island of Hawaii, he had an exercise that was centered around money blocks. Basically, to remove a money block from your life, you first have to remove the thought in your mind that tells you that you will not be able to attain wealth.

In order to do this, you will need a sheet of paper (remember, this is Skool).

At the top of the paper, I want you to write an amount of money you want to earn. It can be $1 or it can be $1 Million Dollars or any other amount you want.

Then, underneath that amount, number the paper from 1-50 in consecutive order.

After the paper is numbered, you are going to fill in each number with a way to make that amount of money you listed at the top.

At first, it will be hard to come up with an idea because the back of your mind has told you that you cannot earn money because of one reason or another, but by the time the paper is completely full, you will know that it is truly possible. Remember, you don't have to try out any of the ideas you listed unless you want to. This is aimed just to make yourself believe that it is possible. Stay tuned, because I will share my list in the comments after I give everyone some time to think about theirs.

See you in the next lesson!
