Liberate Yourself from Your Own Inner Debt Crisis

Posted: 08/01/11 06:10 PM ET

With nations struggling to deal with ever-increasing debt, does it feel like you are being left behind? Do you look at your own life and see an impending crisis? Do you sometimes wish you could get out of your situation and actually start anew?

We are living in a time of unprecedented change and opportunity. The US is fighting over raising the debt ceiling while ignoring that, even if it does, there are many trillions of dollars of other obligations that are not being addressed. Greece is rebelling against austerity, and Italy and Spain are on the brink of collapse. The old systems are crumbling while our politicians are dancing their own dance, out of step with each other and with what is happening around them.

Our own lives are also filled with greater challenges. Jobs are scarce. Housing prices are still falling. And many of the old institutions and perspectives that we used to draw our comfort and security from are falling by the wayside. If you look inside yourself, you're probably feeling your own earthquake or tsunami of rising emotional turmoil.

This time is an opportunity for us all to either let go and embrace the new or hold on and go down with a sinking ship. What do you choose? Are going to continue to fight for the old ways of doing things or are you willing to look into your own heart and embrace the new, that is, embrace the power and certainty that can only be accessed in this moment with an open heart and mind? The choice is yours.

I would recommend that you start looking outside of what appeared to work in the past and discover what is appropriate now. We all have tremendous power and resources right within us. If we stop fighting with each other and our environment, we'll discover that there is super abundance available from nature and many solutions to both our global and personal problems waiting to be discovered right here, right now.

If you look inside into the now, you'll discover that beyond the noise of the mind is your intuitive knowingness and clear reason. These will shine through and show you the way.

Here's just one process that can help you get started. I would also recommend that you find your own tools, techniques and perspectives to help you find your own way.

  1. Allow yourself to think of one of your current challenges or one of the challenges we all are facing.
  2. In this moment, can you simply allow yourself to welcome whatever thoughts, feelings or beliefs this brings into awareness? In other words, just stop fighting for a moment and notice what is actually here now.
  3. Could you allow yourself to welcome all your desire to fix or change this, all desire to do something with or about this? Note: I am not saying not to take appropriate action. This is simply welcoming the energy that may be in the way.
  4. Could you welcome any sense that this is personal, about you or who or what you are? I know it feels personal. I'm not asking you deny that. What I'm suggesting is that if we welcome how personal we've made this challenge, we can see beyond the personal to the universal solution.
  5. Could you allow yourself to welcome your intuitive knowingness and clear reason and invite this inner power to lead you to a solution? You can also ask yourself: What is the simplest or most outrageous action you can take right now to move beyond this challenge? The more we open to our own clear reason and knowingness, the more likely we are to find real, lasting solutions.
  6. Now allow yourself to get into any constructive action.

If we all start letting go, both individually and together, in the ways we find most helpful, the more likely we are to start taking new and creative actions to move beyond our current constraints and challenges. If we all start working together toward the highest and best good, anything and everything is possible.

Thanks again, Hale. Solutions are often under our own noses and sometimes overlooked. For example, just yesterday I decided to go inside an organic cafe in my work area even though I have been working in the same area for over a year and thought I knew all the vegetarian places. To my surprise, they had many raw vegan prepackaged meals for takeout. A lovely surprise & a big help to me & my co-workers. All because I happened to be open to intuition even though logic said you've been there before. In the same way, financial solutions might be present that we may have overlooked or dismissed before.

Hi Hale, I wanted to thank you for your answer, I know what you mean, and didn't thought there was anything against anything behind.

My dear Hale, first of all I hope to see you soon again, on another retreat, yes I know what you said last march but there are a lot of us out there wanting to go to Sedona again. And enjoy your teachings.

This said, I have to say that I totally agree in general with the article. But there is something I don't. As a Finance Expert in Spain, I know more things that the ones said on news. So the truth is that Spain though the situation isn't good, mostly because high rates of unemployment, others aren't, and for exmple housing prices are still too high, because people isn't so desperate to sell.

There are other considerations like the seriousness of our equivalent to the FED, the Bank of Spain where I have friends that give me good data about how things are working. And though I resist to say it aloud, cause I don't want to attract more, we are being the object of many attacks by speculators. But it is how the system is designed, so I totally agree with you that the system doesn't work anymore. Let's welcome a different one and in the meantime let's do this releasing, by the way, as always, appropiate.

With your permission, I am going to translate this wonderful article into Spanish and to upload it on my blog, so that more people can benefit from it.

Hope to see you soon,

Anabel

Anabel,
I had no intention of disparaging Spain or any country. This post was simply a call to action to move beyond the confusion. You have my permission to translate this post for your blog. I hope to be doing seminars again soon.
Love,

Hale ~ A thought provoking post. It is encouraging to hear others acknowledging the breakdown of old systems that are perhaps no longer workable. As these breakdowns occur, there is such opportunity for us to discover the solutions that lie within each one of us individually and ultimately within the human community collectively.
I think our first steps in this journey and ultimate liberation is our willingness to be in conversation that raises awareness and opens possibility.
