Bringing Eastern Wisdom to Personal Finance

Julie Murphy • October 1, 2010

I’ve blogged several times about the connection between our thoughts/ emotions and our biology but it can be hard to see this without a specific example so I wanted to share a story with you.

 One day I received a call from a client who informed me  that he was ill.  He had developed colon cancer.  I got a funny feeling that I’d heard this before and stopped to reflect for a moment.  I realized that half of my male clients between the ages of 55 and 65 had developed some type of problem in their hip area or lower intestines.  After looking even closer, I realized that all these men had been prematurely separated from their life’s work, before financially and emotionally ready to let go.  I believe these men got sick because of the emotional toxins that clogged their lower chakra’s energy flow ….they lost their hefty paycheck and were no longer able to care for their loved ones.  Their life’s purpose of being the family provider was no longer there. 

 If you don’t recognize the emotions present in your body and work through them, they will build up in a particular chakra region.  In this case, my client let the stress of being financially-strapped clog up his lower chakra and he got sick. 

 Start your path to financial healing now by working through some of the worksheets on my Web site.  Start with the Authentic Self exercise here:  http://juliemurphycasserly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/EBM-Authentic-Self-Exercise.pdf
