When Money Trouble Is A Good Thing

November 30th, 2009 by admin

Is there anyone anyplace who might actually want to find themselves in crisis? Contrary to what might be one’s intuition yes is probably the answer, though the explicit nature of the crisis at hand would certainly be relevant. Being in crisis can produce an adrenaline rush and require one to put their full faculties to use. A situation like this, where the need to perform seems critical, feeds the competitive drive of some people and makes them feel exhilirated. Might that same person however feel exhilirated in facing a medical condition that is certainly fatal? Probably not, hence why the nature of the crisis is meaningful.

With respect to a financial crisis, most of us would probably equate it with a bad health diagnosis: something to be avoided as much as possible. The fact of the matter is however that financial troubles do occur and they occur often. It could very well be true that money shortage is the most typical of all problems. In the United States alone, scores of people have the experience of not having enough money at some point in their lives. Some people go through most of their lives in fact feeling as though they are short of money. If money troubles are common, they are also exceptionally stressful for this simple reason: money equates with survival. Without money, a person’s life may be in jeopardy in a literal way.

Disregarding for a moment how frequent and trying money difficulties can be, one means for dealing with money problems may actually see extreme money problems as an asset. Ho oponopono is known as a problem solving technique that’s been practiced for generations on the Hawaiian Islands. Of the increasing number of people using the ho’oponopono method, many of them were initially drawn to ho’oponopono because they faced some kind of money trouble. Why is it then that a crisis of finance, or any manner of crisis really, is seen as a positive from the ho’oponopono viewpoint? Reason being is that as a crisis worsens, a person may become more open to disengage from attempted problem solving and allow themselves to let go.

The idea of problem disengaging would strike some as failure, but within ho’oponopono it is fundamental. The notion of problem engagement is seen as resistance in the ho’oponopono way of thinking, and is thought to prevent ho’oponopono from being ideally effective. From a ho’oponopono perspective then the worse your problem is, money problem or otherwise, the more inclined you are to disengage and simply focus on using ho’oponopono. The scene is now set for maximum effect problem solving to occur. Granted, having the faith to let go and trust isn’t an easy thing for most people to do. But a growing number of people, inspired by financial crisis or something else, are doing exactly that by incorporating ho’oponopono into their lives. I Need Help is an online resource for additional ho’oponopono information.
