Lack of money

Ben was a 46-year-old man, happily married with 3 kids, who came to me for a very common issue.  He felt he was not making his money worth.  Though he was a brilliant man and a gifted freelance photographer, he somehow never had enough money.  He was just surviving. I asked him if he can identify a pattern.  Does he spend his money too easily?  Is he unable to close enough deals with his clients?  Does he charge too little for his work?
 

He said he didn't get enough work, as if he didn't want to have money and when he did make money, it tended to run out quickly.  He would get a speeding/parking ticket; get bigger bills than usual and so on.  

 

I asked whether he was raised very poor or very rich and whether he thought that money was: "the root of all evil". He laughed and said he was raised in a middle class family and he couldn't point out anything specific.  He also mentioned that both his siblings were well off and had no issues with money.

 
I asked him to lie down, close his eyes and take a few deep breathes. As he got deeper into the hypnosis I guided him to fill his body with bright white light and let the images float to his mind freely.

 

He got very excited and started describing: "Wow, I love my shoes! They are made of orange and yellow fabric triangles, a bit funny. And my clothes...and look at this market place! So colorful and crowded!... but I think they are afraid of me.  Weird."  "Where are we and what year is it?"  I asked the details about his past life.  "Iran. 1612" he replied immediately. "I'm a prince. We're very rich... but the people are very poor, they're dying of hunger.  I don't care. I have a great life." Said Ben shortly "How do you spend your time?" I inquired.  "I hang  out in my beautiful garden, have fun with my women....I've got plenty of those, you know...I can do what ever I like.  My father runs the kingdom so I don't have to worry about anything.  I like that"

 

He was satisfied.  "O.K. lets go to another scene in your past life" I said. "Who the hell is she?"  He said suddenly.  "She's ugly! and looks poor. Another wife?  I don't like her!"  He complained.  "My father is forcing me to marry this woman for political reasons.  She belongs to the people, she's not royalty". He explained.  "All right. Let's see what happens next" 

I encouraged him to move on.

 

"What's going on?!  The mob is taking over the palace!  Hey you!  Knock it off!  They are dragging us all to the city square!  It's insane!  And this woman, she orchestrated it all!  I knew I shouldn't have trusted her!" He got excited.  "Let's just observe that, as if it's an old movie of a past life" I said to calm him down. "Well" he sighed and continued "It's getting hot in here, my feet... now my knees, I'M BURNING! I'm on the stake!  They are burning me!" he yelled.  "Take a few breaths and tell me what's on your mind" I said soothingly. "I'll never have money again, it can kill me!"  He said instantly, surprising himself. 
 

Still under the hypnosis we discussed his beliefs regarding money. He said that money can corrupt you, spoil you, make you  insensitive and heartless and brings out the ugliness of human nature, such as greed and jealousy. I guided him to let go of his old beliefs from this past life, which do not serve him and adapt a new, positive attitude towards abundance. As he opened his eyes and gazed at me he said: "No wonder I can't get enough money today, I perceive it as jeopardy to my life!"
