Throughout this month my initial reluctance to write on the topic of wealth has gradually evaporated.

The emails I have received and the way I have managed to adhere to some evidence based principles while looking at this topic has assured me that there is much that can be done to develop a mindset that aids an individual to become more wealthy.

I spoke at the beginning of this month about making sure that the reference to 'wealth' is your own interpretation of what it means to you.

I have felt a bit 'unwealthy' at times this week on a day-to-day basis, because I have been poorly and incredibly busy which meant that I got to spend less time with my children; my youngest had her inoculation injections this week and I was unable to attend; my eldest had two days away with family which I could not join him with and I felt like I was missing out. 

Time with my children is wealth in my book.

Though to have that time, I need to have a certain level of income, but income is not exclusively what wealth is to me. 

What's more, as I worried about it and got concerned, so I felt even less wealthy, because that sort of worrying mindset does not represent the usual freedom and easiness that I love so much and that is typical of how I usually am.

It became a sort of barrier.

Likewise, we can have a number of other types of barriers to having a wealthy mindset.

For many people, these barriers are beliefs that we have looked at earlier this month already.

For others barriers may exist that they are ignoring or are simply unaware of.

Today I want to offer up a technique that helps to alleviate such barriers in a metaphorical context.

In the coming weeks, I am going to release a new, all-singing, all-dancing audio programme for developing a wealth mindset and it'll be filled with lots and lots of techniques and strategies; certainly a lot more than I have been able to offer up in just a single month of ezine articles.

One of my issues with covering this subject has been that it always feels disingenuous to offer expensive help to individuals who struggle with the expense of the audio.
I will not be offering it for free, because I want my time and efforts to be valued and I want the programme to be valued, so we'll offer it for a small fee - however, for people who really believe the investment fee is still too much, I will offer to send it on for free for a limited period if you email me and explain your circumstances and intentions.

Look out for 'Develop A Wealth Seeking Mindset' in the coming weeks.

.Have you ever noticed how humans like to throw stuff? 

I am a big fan of skimming stones across the sea front where I live, but I also love chucking rocks and stones and making splashes. Have you ever dropped stuff (safely of course) from cliffs and down wells and found a sense of enjoyment to be had from it?

There are also sports and events that involve us throwing things around and heck, why not gain some therapeutic benefit from throwing and chucking stuff too, eh? Have you ever heard anyone use the expression "chucking his toys out of the pram" when it comes to talking about someone being childishly angry or frustrated? Before we get to express ourselves in a range of other more sophisticated ways as adults, we throw and chuck and drop, don't we? 

Today, I am offering up a process to use the process of letting go that is similar to other processes I have discussed here before.  It combines self-hypnosis, with mental imagery and also a metaphoric process of letting go. 

It aims to equip you to let go of you no longer want or need or to let go of anything that is unhealthy to hold on to. This might include stress, jealousy, anger, frustration or revenge for example. Have a think of something you'd like to let go of - such as any barriers (known or unknown currently) that prevent you from achieving a wealth mindset, then use this process to help you do it. 

Pause for a moment on the pathway as you realise that in front of you and ahead of you, your enjoyable journey along the pathway is hindered by a number of rocks on the pathway. Your destination of a wealthy mindset is currently blocked. 

The rocks and stones are of various sizes and shapes. Again, notice the colours, the sizes, shapes and position of them. At the moment, these rocks are obstructing your progress on the pathway, let them represent what it is that you decided you needed to let go of prior to starting this session. 

As you look at each rock, notice how each one signifies an aspect or is a part of what it is you want to let go of. Notice the way each rock represents that; with its colour, texture, size or characteristics. They are hindering your progress and getting in the way of the direction you want to take.

You might not even know what each one represents, you might just let these rocks represent barriers to your progress. When you have got them pictured and imagined in your mind and you can notice the sensation that they give you when you have your direction barred, then move on to the next step, but make sure you take all the time necessary to get this done thoroughly. 

The beauty of using your imagination is that you can use it without limits, and not only does our imagination have no limits, but we all have far more resources than we usually give ourselves credit for. 

Notice that beside the pathway is a well; a bottomless well. Get it vivid inside your mind and create the details of the well. It is a well of your own creation. One that exists within you.

Use your imagination to summon up whatever mighty strength you need and start to move the rocks and drop them down the well. One by one. Notice how you feel so wonderful each time you let go of one of them and can hear the sound of it plummeting through the air, dissipating and disappearing. Let go. Gone. 

Systematically work your way through the rocks that were on the pathway and let go of them.

Take all the time you need to clear the pathway and once you have let go of all the rocks, cover up the well for now. Securely close the well and know deep inside your mind that you have let go and the rocks have disappeared and been sent into nothingness.

Start to notice how much lighter you feel, how at ease you are and spend a couple of moments enjoying some deeper breaths that relax you and enhance your enjoyment of this moment. 

Enjoy the sensation of knowing that your path is clear and that your mind is free. Feel the joy and sense of having let go of what you no longer need.

You can use this time now to engage in any progressive relaxation process that you know and enjoy being uplifted for however long you feel is necessary.  When you have relaxed and assured yourself that you have cleared the pathway, you can move on to the next step.
