Accounting

I often receive looks of amazement when I tell people that I, a former Chartered Accountant, still practise accounting in addition to my alternative healing therapies and meditation classes. They seem so disparate, but to me the mixture reflects my belief that we are spiritual beings who are learning to live in the material world. We have bodies to keep healthy; we have physical needs and desires; these things require money. Most of us have to earn a living, pay income taxes and save money for emergencies and retirement. Why not view these things as integral to our spiritual lives? Why not feel empowered by our ability to function in the "ordinary" world?

Drains on our Energy

In my 25+ years of working with people and their finances, I have observed the following energy-drainers:

1. Not knowing where the money is spent;
2. Carrying a balance and paying interest on credit cards;
3. Living beyond their means;
4. Worrying about the state of finances instead of knowing where they are financially;
5. Being behind in filing income tax returns;
6. Doing work that isn’t satisfying.

The last item goes beyond my services as an accountant, but the others all have one thing in common - the underlying hope that ignoring a problem will make it go away.
