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.
