Are You Funny with Money? Most people are – even a Wealthy Boomer…

Are YOU Funny with Money?

Did you know that most people go weak around money? Even people with a lot of it. What does that mean? Let’s talk about it.

Human Consciousness is a weird animal and a very interesting one. What makes us tick? What drives us internally to do this or not do that? In this post we take a look at how people respond to money “energetically” and why.

What drives a subconscious response to money that makes us weak or makes us strong? How does that happen and what does that mean?

Money is closely connected to identity – how we see ourself and perhaps – more importantly – how we think others see us. Internally, we desire to be:

• accepted
• recognized and
• appreciated

And actually it’s more than desire. It is an underlying drive – a compelling force within that overrides conscious thought by activating internal defaults that affect behavior and thinking patterns.

In other words, we really don’t have a choice in the matter until we change the defaults.

These defaults – or system glitches – affect everything we do, not just money. However, being Funny with Money is a very specific topic. In today’s world, money plays such a key role in our lives. It affects what kind of neighborhood we live in, how we spend our time, our effectiveness and what choices we are able to make.  Our relationship to money establishes where we fit into the world around us, how we see ourself within that world and how others see us.

Is it any surprise that self esteem is directly tied to this perception? And yet, it goes way beyond self esteem. It is part of our identity – who we really actually are energetically.  Self esteem is not synonymous with identity, yet it is a component of identity, and an important one.

How Do We Know if We Are Funny With Money?

You may be familiar with muscle testing. We measure the body’s response to money using a variation of muscle testing called comprehensive kinesiology. The person’s arm stays strong or goes weak when pressure is applied to the extended arm as money gets closer to their body.

We facilitate a workshop that guides the participants through a series of processes that clear a person’s “weakness to money”.  The defaults and glitches that trigger that type of physical response are removed or more accurately “reset” back to natural, the way we were as a young child – before all the emotional trauma and training became part of the system.

Are You Funny With Money is a powerful stand alone 3 session workshop created by Dr. Ed Carlson. It is one of several Core Health Workshops. We facilitate this live interactive workshop – with 10-15 people at a time.

In this economy and with the current financial situation worldwide, doesn’t it make sense to you not to be weak around money? It does to me.

Are You a Healthy Boomer?

If you are – good for you. If you’re not yet, you can be. 2010 is the year for great possibilities.

New Years resolutions tend to be an annual ritual for many of us as we reflect upon the year that we are leaving behind and look forward to potential in the new year. Why do health club memberships skyrocket every year about this time and then peter out around March?

Basically new years resolutions never work and there is a good reason for that which I will address later in this post.

What gives ME the right to “preach”?

Because I AM a Healthy Boomer.

It is not an accident that guys half my age call me Mr. Energy. I have been focused on a healthy and natural lifestyle since 1971 – with some glitches and bumps along the way – but overall, throughout most of that time, I have chosen a path of “excellent health and vitality” as my standard. My lifelong motto has been this: I DON’T DO SICK. I have chosen a life of health as a conscious decision.

At age 18, I decided to take responsibility for my health. I made a choice to follow a path that would lead to longevity – and a vibrant, healthy life – not just a long one. I started looking at people around me and noticed how some older people had beautiful skin and bright shiny eyes and others seemed withered, with dry skin and dull eyes. Some had a bounce in their step with lots of energy, while for others, walking was difficult and labored.

I made a life choice – there and then – that I would be a member of the former group, and not the latter.

As a result of that life choice, my health journey began with the following questions emerging within my consciousness and becoming a dominant force in my life:

• How do I do that?
• How do I live a long and vibrantly healthy life?
• What constitutes this kind of lifestyle?
• How do I define this for myself?
• What rules do I need to live by?

That may not seem like a big deal to you – now – as you read this.

Consider this: On a personal level, what were you thinking about – around health - at age a 18?

In retrospect, for an invincible, highly energetic, 18 year old ‘hot shot’ – with a metabolism that required 6 full meals a day – that was a pretty profound choice and decision.

One of the things that had led up to that decision was the loss of my dearest and closest friend about a year earlier. He and his brother were both killed in a head-on by a drunk driver. His death forced me to consider mortality for the second time in my life.

Only this experience was different, it went to my core.

I went deep and sought resolution within myself. As I pondered life and death coherently and cogently, I chose to redirect my life towards another path. I withdrew from the circle of friends I had known and associated with – completely – and embarked upon my own path, alone. On some level I understood that if I did not, I would end up like my dear friend had.

Health became a driving force as a martial arts enthusiast and an “A” student in my first year of college, as a full time accounting major.

The regimen of rigorous training – 6 times a week at the dojo – and 3 to 4 hours of study daily quickly formed a solid pattern of self discipline – a skill that has been a real benefit since.

Self Discipline Is a Key Ingredient to Health…

Where it is most important – in my experience – is upholding our choices and being disciplined in our own willingness to follow through on those choices over the long haul. Consistency is what creates self discipline. And consistency in our attitude creates good health over time.

Over many years I have observed human behavior in a class and training environments – originally in martial arts and for the last 22 years, in qigong and the self development world. What I know is that people have to start where they are, with the existing skills they have – and build success upon those.

This is my mission with Baby Boomers to promote and in-power Baby Boomer health.

Why Don’t New Years Resolutions Work?

Here’s why.

Changing your mind does not change your energy body – your blueprint – until your mind and your energy body are in alignment. When you change in your root – in your energy – the change is permanent.

How do we do that?

I have looked for a method that works for everybody my whole life and in 2009 I found it. It’s called Core Health, a system of comprehensive kinesiology that both encompasses and expands upon:

• behavioral kinesiology and
• energy psychology

I liked it so much I moved from Montana to Florida and have just completed my certification as a Core Health Facilitator.

This is the most comprehensive and effective system I have ever studied and I want to teach anyone  – who is sincerely ready for a change in their life – how to change their lives with new energy decisions that are permanent.
