What is the magic behind money? That is a question many are asking themselves these days. A couple of years ago it seemed to be plenty of money to go around. Now, it seems to have disappeared. For many underearners it looked like the magic was never theirs in the first place. To them the situation is the same in boom times as it is in bust. Others are feeling the lack of credit is squashing the life out of them.
Money and Underearners do not seem to go together. If it were a relationship between two people we would know that it would be doomed. The problem is that we have to have a relationship with money as long as we live in the developed world. We might be able to have a great relationship with other people, like a loved one, but money is something totally different.
This is what I see around me and have experienced myself. As so many underearners I have wondered what the magic of money is, how to attract it and make it stay.
In my search for answers I found Morgana Rae and her Financial Alchemy. This was few years ago and last month I was lucky enough to interview her about her take on people and money.
Her take on this issue is very different from others. It is amazing how she deals with money. Where so many others have a very stressful, strained and at the best a love/hate relationship with money, she has a totally different relationship. Her relationship can be described in a lengthy paragraph or in one word, LOVE.
She has taken money and humanized it. For as she says: “I don’t know how to have a relationship with a thing or energy, but I do know how to have a relationship with a person.” By making money a person she can better understand the relationship and do something about it. Through her Financial Alchemy coaching she gets rid of the Money that we are having this strained relationship with. If the current Money is no good, we get rid of him/her (a person always has a gender) and by magic a loving, caring and affectionate Money Honey replaces the old money monster, the one we didn’t like or even wanted to have a relationship with.
When we have a loving relationship with money, magic happens. The magic that happens is that money wants to be with you, it is attracted to you, and you want to be with money. What comes out of this new relationship depends on what you want to put into it. By nurturing this new relationship you can start living a Life of Abundance.
Love and peace,

I grew up with a very strange relationship to money. Living in a codependent family, I depended on my parents for everything, and never really learned to make or respect money until I was out on my own as an adult. It was a hard lesson, and my money monster was quite powerful. I have been coached by Elín Anna and rediscovered my “money honey,” but the allure of that money monster is powerful. I sometimes think that I PREFER that antagonistic relationship instead of one of cooperation and loving-kindness.
I think it requires a lot of affection for our Selves. In order to create a positive relationship with money, we must also be willing to have a positive relationship with ourselves, meaning love ourselves. If we can’t love ourselves, how can we accept love from anywhere else?
Thank you Elín Anna for this blog and for your work helping us underearners!
