- 1. What Is A Belief? Mark Bristow The Financial Healer
- 2. A belief - often described as a feeling of certainty that something is true - is something thats engrained into you.
- 3. It runs the whole show. Its your take on something.
- 4. If I believe: "I will never be successful."
- 5. Im thinking essentially I will never be successful and that belief was created by some event that sets that off. Event Belief
- 6. It might be for example, my belief was created because when I was four years old I lost a running race and I should have won.
- 7. Maybe I tripped over but maybe somebody came along and said something about my 'failure' and at that time I created this belief that I wont be successful.
- 8. And then certain things will come along that our take on it would be well my belief that Ive created is I wont be successful, so if I come second in something else that means Im not successful because I wasnt first.
- 9. Whereas somebody else will look at it and their take on it would be Youve come second, youve done really well.
- 10. How would somebody know if theyve got negative beliefs?
- 11. I think the interesting thing is that often they dont think that theyve got negative beliefs until we dig a bit deeper.
- 12. For some people it can be on a conscious level like Money doesnt grow on trees...
- 13. ...and you had parents that were saying Im not made of money then they might be able to say this back to you fairly quickly and it will become obvious.
- 14. For other people whose beliefs may take a lot longer to hunt out.
- 15. One of my clients had this belief that: "Money will always be taken away from me."
- 16. She didnt realise this until we found out the source of that belief.
- 17. It came from the fact that she used to save coins when she was a little girl.
- 18. And her mother would come along and take some or all of them.
- 19. In her head it might have been Oh Ill come along and take this change because I have to pay the milkman.
- 20. But at that point something as simple as that created a belief.
- 21. For this lady, she could make money but as soon as she got money it was taken away from her.
- 22. And this proved a real stumbling block because shes never saved money.
- 23. Shes always found ways that she ends up spending it.
- 24. Another example where a belief is created
- 25. Ive got another client where she was told that rich people are horrible people because her uncle happened to be fairly rich but wasnt the nicest person.
- 26. So shes gone through life now thinking that all rich people are horrible people...
- 27. ...based upon what she was told by her parents about her uncle.
- 28. So, she has attracted into her life rich people that are not very nice. So its incredible how much one little thing can affect your life.
- 29. And they are just two examples where that is greatly affected, those two clients and their relationship with money.
- 30. When you work with the clients how do you get them to uncover their negative beliefs?
- 31. It involves a lot of questioning and unravelling the bits of the onion to get to the core point.
- 32. So theres a lot of discussion about whats happened with money.
- 33. And then peeling away the outer most parts of the onion to get to the core.
- 34. So theres a lot of questions, the answers of which will give us a clue as to where that will lead us.
- 35. But the fascinating thing about being a Financial Healer is that no two clients are the same.
- 36. And therefore theres a blank page, theres a number of questions, but where that leads us we dont always know.
- 37. We usually use special methods which are very friendly...
- 38. ...very nice but will get into the sub-conscious...
- 39. ...and the clients own sub- conscious will lead us to the source of those particular negative beliefs.
