Specific Limiting Statements and Suggestions for Rescinding
Statement to Rescind: I feel like we are swimming against the tide as far as finances and security, and it seems we are losing ground the harder we try.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
Working with the statement and the imagery you present, I suggest that you affirm verbally and in writing the following: "I/We swim with the tide to feel secure in all parts of my (our) life, including finances." Also, "The ground beneath my feet is solid as I walk firmly on my path."
There is some anger for you to release from your energy field, so you might want to work with the September 1 affirmation and write it according to the "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" article. "I give myself permission to release anger easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." If it helps you to identify at what you are angry, place the phrase in the affirmation, but be certain that you do not get distracted by the circumstances; the anger is in you, or you would not feel angry at someone or something. So release "anger."
Incidentally, my response to your statement is: Stop trying so hard! You might want to take up one of the martial arts, especially T'ai Chi or Qigong. These practices teach you to use energy in a more efficient way.
I will continue to work with you energetically.

Statement to Rescind: If you're not careful about how you spend your money, you'll die in the Poor House or end up a Bag Lady.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
The first exercise I suggest you do is explore the experience of Poor House and Bag Lady. You can do this in your mind's eye as a drama, comedy, cartoon, science fiction, or any other genre that suits your mood of the moment. You already have the title of the film(s) -- you even put the capital letters in your statement! Personally, I'd go the route of the cartoon -- complete with music and lots of color and screeching. Make the images BIG, as on a movie screen. Make the sounds loud. Exaggerate the
movements, whether they be inner or outward. (Depression can be exaggerated just as well as jumping through a car windshield.) After such an experience (and, remember, the BIGGER the BETTER), the reality of the statement becomes smaller and less impactful.
Instead of or in addition to the above, do some research among the homeless, especially women. Many homeless women sleep in their cars and have some interesting stories. You might interview several, hear their stories. Even write an article -- it doesn't matter if you ever publish it, just write it.
In either or both these exercises, be certain to take your inner child with you. She is the one most worried about this. The original message was implanted with fear. The best way to unseat the message is with love. The more lovingly and joyously you can release this message, the better. Just let this disempowering message die. Remember, one of your primary purposes on this earth is to create: create experiences, create things, create relationships, create, create, create.
The statement that most closely resonates with your higher consciousness is: "I live today -- each moment -- with the deep realization that all my needs are met, in time and on time." As you work with this, the words may change; more likely, though, working with it over time will greatly facilitate a change in your consciousness. There will, quite simply, be no room for the original statement, and much less, the fear.
If when saying or writing the above statement, you have a reaction that goes something like, "yeah, maybe now, but what about later?" take the reaction and insert it into the September 1 affirmation. "I give myself permission to release ______ easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Do it in a way that makes sense to you. For example, "I give myself permission to release limiting beliefs easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release fear easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release fear of the future easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field."
I will continue to work with you energetically.

Statement to Rescind: Finances restrict me from moving on from a bad marriage.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
First of all, what are the benefits of this marriage? I mean, beyond the financial benefits. Be honest with yourself and make as LONG a list as possible. You may find it helpful to look at various levels of experience: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. When you think that your list is complete, sit back, relax, and ask for your inner self to give you some more benefits to add to the list. You may want to take several days to complete your list before going to the next step.
When you are ready, go back over the benefits, one by one. You may find that you want to group some and even eliminate some. But don't streamline the list too much. You want plenty to work with here. As you review the items one by one, this is the primary question to ask: How/where else can I receive that benefit? Other relevant questions are: How satisfying is that benefit? How important is that benefit? What is the deeper meaning of that benefit? After you have gone through the entire list, look for patterns.
We tend to be in dysfunctional relationships for more than one reason. The financial aspects may be the obvious, but they are not the only reason. Or, more accurately: if you discover the finances are the only reason, then your exit will be swift.
The affirmation I hear is: "I am free." From time to time, you may want to vary this with "I am free from ______" or "I am free to ______." Try not to overdo the variations, though, because the issue is YOUR freedom and not the thing you wish to be free from or the thing you are free to do.
Right now, "I am free." is likely to evoke resistance as you say or write it. For example, a thought might come "Oh, no you're not." Insert the thought into the September 1 affirmation. "I give myself permission to release ______ easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Do it in a way that makes sense to you. For example, "I give myself permission to release helplessness and hopelessness, easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release fear easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release neediness easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field."
Also, be certain that you have a "freedom fund" -- a bank account that can accumulate money for your exit or your decision to stay. Right now it does not matter how much is in this account, only that it is yours and it is for your freedom (the meaning of "freedom" may change many times as you proceed). Each day, meditate with that freedom fund in your mind's eye or literally with the bank book in your hands.
Incidentally, the theme for October is Freedom.
I will be working with you energetically.
