Want to share that I am really loving this process, and looking forward to enjoying the waning work as much as I have been enjoying the waxing. I'm glad we still have a week to go, but must admit I don't want the class to end. I fully intend to keep working with these tools for a while, to get really familiar with them and make them my own. Thanks so much to Ariel and everyone taking this class together, I'm learning so much from every bit of this experience!
Same here. I guess I want to work on it longer to build a real routine to stick with. It's a blessing to be part of this journey.
Thank you too, for everyone sharing this experience and for our great teacher! BB
Me too! I’m thinking that for the next cycle I might add the spirit of money meditation to my evening practice, in order to deepen that connection and explore the possibilities a little.
I did this course when Ariel first put it out and often found myself chanting parts of the GMI or visualizing the Prosperity orb. I think I will probably do another full cycle after this one as well since I have changed because of it and its different each time.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to do another rotation. We can be PMM buddies. 🤣
The class is full of information. I admire the person who is able to assimilate all of it.
We should be buddies! I was even thinking of seeing if anyone wanted to do a What's App group or something like that just for extra support or to discuss things a little more privately.
Ok. Full transparency. I’m not great with technology stuff. So please be patient with me. I resisted getting a Facebook account because a part of me dislikes Facebook. There are a ton of journal articles that state Facebook causes depression, anxiety, etc. I opened an account just for Ariel’s corner. Lol.
I agree with you. I think Facebook is mostly toxic that is why I don't post much & don't follow too many. I do like it for groups like Ariel's Corner and events, pictures of friend's kids & travels but the political stuff is just awful to me.The What's App group was just an idea in case people just like a different format to discuss things. This forum is great too!
I do think that you are all right - there is so much to take on board it's going to be a whILe before it's absorbed thoroughly for me. At the moment I do feel like I am only dipping my toe as opposed to being fully immersed - which is where I think I need to be. So I will be cycling for the foreseeable! And definitely using the Spirit of Money on a regular basis.
My time zone is GMT - I will set up the virtual coffee bar as I did for WBB and we can meet in there? BBX
I'm slightlly behind as my partner was in hosptial all weekend so I did what I could however I have just read Week 3 activities - how lovely!
Can't wait to get started. Loving the release of guilt exercise and I think exercise VIII - 'Eliminate all fear, panic and worry about money' will be enormously helpful to me.
My current prosperous thought based on my experience in the Spirit of Money meditation is 'Money is my good friend' and this is definitely changing my relationship with money into a more positive one.
Wow, I am really feeling the power of the week 3 homework, this feels like exactly what I need right now :) Feeling blessed and loved💖💖💖💖 (yes, I am a cancerian, and I FEEL lol)
Finally got paid, and did my giveaway. It felt really good 💛
Anyone else been working with the giveaway and the blessing of your outgoing money? Like someone else mentioned, I have the hardest time remembering in the moment to bless my spending. I think that is why the giveaway felt so powerful because I was able to spend some time with it and use the GMI.
Hi Rae, I enjoy the giveaway as well. I don’t always remember to ask for the return.
I wonder if it’s okay, if you can ask for a return when you remember?
@Kat Kitty that is what I have been doing... I usually do my orb at the end of the day and thats when I take time to look back on all the money I spent. It will have to do for now until we can get in the habit of blessing in the moment I suppose !😀
Hey @Israels Fusion I would recommend you start the magic at the new moon when it starts waxing as the classes are aligned with the moon phases - which I think is the 22nd July. However there is a lot prep involved so you can do that anytime- i.e listen to 1A and 1B and do some of the prep activities - and i would recommendd you do this as it gives you time to get your head round stuff. Good luck!
Second day of banishing the negative thoughts. How good is this exercise? I love automatic writitng - it brings up so much. And the positive thoughts are flowing. How easy is it to cancel out negative thoughts?? Who would have thought.
One question for @Ariel Gatoga - although I am happy with the creating a vacuum exercise my issue is with I live someone who is hoarder and I have managed - over the years - to create some strategies to stop this from getting out of hand - it is a hard balance to create when I share my living space with some one who likes to have stuff - lots of stuff - (and i understand this to be a behaviour pattern from when she became homeless at an early age so now finds it is difficult to let anything go). It is the biggest area of discord in our household. Is there any thing more i can do or shall i do the best with the situation I have?
Morning @Ariel Gatoga - now I have had time to reflect on this I realise it is lazy thinking on my part.
Yes, I am lucky enough to have a small craft/sewing room where my altar is set up and i am about to start to re decorate and re organise it. I am able t keep most of the house relatively clutter free however there are trigger areas (shoes?? why would anyone need so many shoes?? And the kitchen table is not a storage facility :) )
However my point is that I already have the tools to deal with this (goodness knows you have covered the power of choosing thoughts many times - bless you) and I just need to implement this and others. Also how much of this is projection on my part?
So I just need to take a step back and breathe and know that I do not have to give my energy to these trigger areas. I can't have it all my way as we share living sapce after all! Focus on the areas which do calm my mind and know my craft room will be my oasis of tranquility. bbx
I’m loving this class! The magic, the psychology, the wise financial philosophy ~ especially right now it is a lovely thing to focus on in the midst of broader problems around us. Unfortunately, I fell out of sync when I was on a full week vacation. Was just going into the 3rd week with the waning moon. Do I start over maybe after the next dark moon and just continue the meditations till then?
It's an amazing course. I have done my third banishing tonight - it's so much fun! Yes, it is good to have someting else to focus on and also something we can be in control of.
My view would to be to carry on the course - even if it isn't as effective as it could be because of the week you've missed - as it is still helping you get used to the material - then start again at the next waxing moon.
I have treated this first cycle as a practice cycle as I need to absorb all the activities etc with a view to doing it 'properly' next month after the dark moon.
It feels very good to know that tomorrow is my seventh day of the waning moon flips and that I get to spend some extra time with positive affirmations for the rest of the waning cycle. Looking very much forward to that :) hope everyone is well!
What a great question, @Ariel Gatoga, thanks for asking!
I am noticing that it is much easier to see and change my thoughts in the moment and I have begun to experience the truth that my desires really DO come from a divine source within me and are sacred on a deeper level than ever before. For the first week I did the resentment list and then the flips every day and now I am doing the resentments with the most recurring positive affirmations from last week. I am noticing that my affirmation work feels more True and Real, more aligned with me and my Truth, which is empowering and feels good. I am also noticing that some long-held tension in the back of my head is letting go and my posture is changing, it is easier for me to maintain an erect spine. Also, since starting this process, I have noticed that people have been reaching out to me more and the produce I get, usually delivered, is much larger than usual, and I got an egg with an extra yolk on Saturday :)
Well its been interesting that this is the part I have struggled with as I am a list person by nature. I guess I have realized unless I carry a list around marking it as things are done I can't pull it off under these current life circumstances. I just write it, and hope that the things happen, and then when I get to it at the end of the night a lot of it isn't done and its too late to do them.
Not sure why I have struggled so much with this part of it! I have even started putting the SIMPLEST things to make sure they happen, and then poof something weird happens with my day and a task like - DRIVE TO WORK doesn't happen because a schedule changes etc.
Rae I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with your list. The manifestation list is not easy. You’re doing a great job! You may not be completing every item, but you’re completing something. Please try not to be discouraged. You’re doing the best that you can and that’s fantastic!!!!!!!!!😊 BB
@Rae is right I feel - it’s progressive - we are not instantly perfect in these methods and it is such a challenging time. Things out of our control. Have a listen to Ariel’s vintage lecture (or revisit if you already know it) The Power of Something - I found it so powerful and now I’m happy to break down stuff to the smallest steps as I know this method works and things do manifest -slowly but surely - and there will be another moon phase!

I’m good with What’s app. I live in the PST. Are you in the same time zone?
I am in EST :)
I had a dream we were doing PMM in person with Ariel and it was just great. 🌟
xoxoxo

I love the PMM virtual coffee shop idea... that way I can be there, and so can new PMM people... Whatsapp and I don't really get along so well.
I'm slightlly behind as my partner was in hosptial all weekend so I did what I could however I have just read Week 3 activities - how lovely!

Loving the waning moon magic!
Have a great 3rd week fellow students. bbx
I'm sorry that your partner was ill and hope they are feeling better.
Thank you Lynda - she has many and varied health conditions that do have the tendency to flare up from time to time. She is home now and recovering.
Glad to hear hear she is home!
I don't do what's app anymore. We don't get along at all. BB
Wow, I am really feeling the power of the week 3 homework, this feels like exactly what I need right now :) Feeling blessed and loved💖💖💖💖 (yes, I am a cancerian, and I FEEL lol)
Me too 😊❤️🌞
@Ariel Gatoga would you be willing to talk about the connection, if any, between the prosperity symbol and the Spirit of Money? I’m so interested!!

I’m going back over all of this .... I missed the moon start ...: will I still be ok practicing ?

@Israels, if you don't understand basic timing, you may want to work with A Witch's Primer first.

@Lucretia, do you have an area that is your own?

Lucretia, I like this exercise as well, banishing negative thoughts. 👍🏻

I would go on and repeat the whole course when the moon starts waxing.
It feels very good to know that tomorrow is my seventh day of the waning moon flips and that I get to spend some extra time with positive affirmations for the rest of the waning cycle. Looking very much forward to that :) hope everyone is well!
Do you notice any difference from doing the flips, @Lynda ? BB
What a great question, @Ariel Gatoga, thanks for asking!

The manifestation list.....

That is so interesting, I've definitely had energy work that way before and it will be interesting to see how it changes as time goes on.
Yeah... I'm eager to stick with it and watch the progress for sure
You're doing great @Rae !!
Rae I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with your list. The manifestation list is not easy. You’re doing a great job! You may not be completing every item, but you’re completing something. Please try not to be discouraged. You’re doing the best that you can and that’s fantastic!!!!!!!!!😊 BB
Thanks @Kat Kitty for the kind words! BB

@Rae - I meant to say @Kat Kitty is right! And don’t forget even getting this far is an amazing achievement! You’re a super witch 🧙♀️ xx bb xx
