How to change your consciousness and weather the storm of circumstance.

Check out these spiritual approaches that are always important and needed in times of crisis:

Put God First. Putting God first is the best insurance policy, your ultimate safety net. Prioritize what's essential in your life. God is the source. You will attract the re-sources you need to fulfill your purpose and contribute to a better world. Meditate to calm your fears, invoke creative solutions and make wiser decisions.
Stay present. Not even the best financial experts know what will happen to the economy in the future, so the best approach is to stay aware and awake in the present so that you can be flexible and respond as needed. When fears of the future arise, focus your intention in the present and allow your intuition to guide you.
Be open to emerging opportunities. Be alert to new doors opening as old ones close. Crisis can sometimes bring wonderful surprises and much needed changes that are blessings in disguise.
Be practical, and do your financial homework before investing in or buying anything of significant value. Don't believe everything you see or hear. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. …It's important to research everything as thoroughly as you can, using alternative as well as mainstream sources. I had to make a "rule" for myself... no major financial expenditure without three days of prayerful consideration.
Welcome and embrace change. Explore where you may be stuck in old patterns—physically, emotionally, mentally; as they relate to money, your relationships and outer sircumstances and release these patterns through conscious awareness. Call upon your spiritual will to help release the old patterns which no longer serve you and strengthen more positive patterns.
Release the seeming need to be in control and practice detachment from personal comfort. Be flexible and flowing so that you can adapt to any personal or collective upheavals that might show up in your world. Our world is undergoing rapid change right now. Let go of needing any particular outcomes for yourself personally.
Shift from anger to forgiveness. Acknowledge any strong feelings catalyzed by recent crises, such as anger toward anyone who your believe has contributed to your problems both personal and financial. Then work on releasing anger at your mistakes and the mistakes of others and embrace forgiveness. When in doubt, take a moment and pray the Lord's prayer. Breathe through it. It's not a race to see how fast you can say the words!
Explore the deeper fears behind your worries and concerns (which are fear writ small) . Honestly face what you most fear—poverty, bankruptcy, etc.—and understand what fear can teach you. Is there any rational basis to your fear that you need to face squarely? Keep a larger perspective so that fear doesn't overwhelm you. Remember that you don't have to deal with any circumstance alone. Use your Prayer Partners and the Prayer Ministry. "Ask and it shall be given."
Appreciate that which you already have. Focusing on your impoverishment and what you lack, has the tendency to bring lack and limitation into expression. Rather give thanks for what you have—the many blessings in your life, such as family, friends and good health.
Simplify your lifestyle. Do you really need all of that stuff? Empty the storage unit! The planet could certainly use some lightening up and reduction of energy use. Go within and explore what quality or experience you are trying to satisfy with a material product, and discover a new way to draw all the treasures of the Kingdom into your life.
Form communities and networks of mutual support. Good relationships help you get through all kinds of problems and bring you new, creative solutions. Overcome isolation by connecting with others, which will help you attract what you need.
Be generous as an act of confidence in the abundant universe. There are always others in greater need than you, and what you give of your Time, your Talent and your Treasure, from your heart will return to you a hundred fold! Put that thought to the test! When you help others, you experience a feeling that is spiritually more satisfying than any material reward.

In Oneness,
