Can you tell me what Sophia says to your older clients like me about paying down old debts like a mortgage and loans taken out to help the kids through school? I tend to feel guilty about using my newly created money for new purchases...like a seminar or wanting to buy new furniture...when we still owe money to the bank and by the looks of things will for many more years to come. Back in my new age days I tried visualization, and that didn't do anything to pay off our bills, but it did help me to relax a bit and be grateful that our credit was good enough to be trusted with a loan. Now as I move into the new energy I want to be done with our old debts. Thank you.

This is a really good question and I guess one that many people can relate to it. Old debts can take so many forms. Whether it is time that someone once gave you, a student loan, a loan to buy a house or emotional debts you think you owe someone - it's all old debt.

Every old debt is energy just like anything else. The question is: Are you willing to let this energy flow or are you keeping it stuck? Is your mind still in charge of your debt? Your mind will tell you a story about debt. It will tell you exactly how long it will take to repay your debt and how much sacrifice and misery will be required. Your mind is an expert in keeping you stuck and limited. But have you ever asked your soul what you should do with your debt?

Sophia tells me quite clearly: Don't do anything with it (at least not from your mind).

Debt is just a sign that you allowed your abundance level to sink below the zero point. Are you willing to relax, breathe and let your new energy of abundance flow again and fill the void?

For my friends who don’t know how I live my spirituality, I want to add the following: I don’t think it is wise to run from your bank statement, to ignore it or try to fool yourself about the reality of it. Soul doesn't need any of these tricks. I know from my experience that allowing abundance into my life has filled the emptiness of lack and debt. It felt like allowing a flood to flow over parched land. When you breathe and receive abundance your debts will disappear over time. They will disappear on the outside because every part of you on the inside is just overflowing with energy and love. And this process will take some time, some patience and some breathing.

I personally never got into visualization much because really, how can I visualize something that I don’t know exists? I was a person who lived her life in complete lack of abundance. How could I visualize abundance properly? I didn’t have any feeling or connection with it. So for me as an absolute beginner, I had to trust my soul and start breathing in her love and the energy that comes with it. My soul had to feed me abundance in tiny portions. Every day a little sip more. So after a while my feeling opened up a little bit further and I could start to taste what it is like to have money, to be a little more free and wealthy. (If you already have a connection with abundance that flows effortlessly and lovingly then go ahead and connect with it for inspiration. But if you are a beginner like me, trust your soul and accept this new experience slowly and in tiny portions.)

Accepting wealth forces us to acknowledge that we are much bigger than the mind wants us to believe. And this can be a little scary. For me personally lack of money was an experience that I created from very early on. While my life kept changing and shifting, lack of money was a true friend - it never changed. It took me a long time for a lot of trust had to grow between me and my soul until I was ready to let go of this good old friend that had kept me so safe. Yes, lack of money is limiting, but these limitations felt so comfortable and reassuring. Nothing unexpected could ever happen to me - because I wouldn’t have the money to do it. To discover that there is another type of safety available was a grand revelation. My soul gives me another kind of stability. She never leaves me. And she enables me instead of disabling me. She wants me to participate in life in a safe and loving way.

Your debt has served a purpose in your life. When you start to accept more love and more abundance from your soul you will discover that you suddenly no longer need it. It will seem like a crutch that you had to use while your leg wasn't strong enough to walk on your own. But now you can walk just fine without it.

And to come back to your question - let the new abundance that comes in flow everywhere in your life. Just like you allow your breath to heal and transform your whole body without directing and controlling its flow. You don’t have to mentally push yourself to only breathe into your left arm. There is a deeper wisdom within you that knows exactly where your breath is needed most. Can you allow the new abundance to flow everywhere she wants to? She will heal the old wounds of lack and debt. She will bring so much joy and creativity in your life. And don’t underestimate her and think that old debt is stronger than new abundance. In the end she will win. Have fun breathing and letting abundance flow for you.

Lovingly, Lea
