Reading: #125: Using Spirituality To Reinvent Your Relationship To Money (Leisa Peterson)

“I use the heart chakra in relationship to money,” says Leisa Peterson, Founder of wealthclinic.com and author of “The Mindful Millionaire”. “The heart is about receiving. How great are you at receiving money? It plays out when you’re running a business and you don’t feel comfortable being paid for the value you offer to an employer or [to a] client. When we understand that this is a symptom, we look inside.” Peterson, who grew up in Northern California, began her career as a fit model to pay the bills, eventually segueing into an MBA in finance. In 2014, after losing her father, she decided to merge her interest in spirituality with her interest in finance and helping others build their businesses, create their brands, and messages. “The journey of maturing in life is what chakras — really an ancient form of psychotherapy — inspire… I found money is merely a physical manifestation of who you are.” For some, Peterson says, “fear is what’s under it all.”
