Erin Gray (00:00):
Ever wonder why your
money goals or your business
dreams aren't happeningovernight?
It might actually be perfectfor you and part of the
universal principle called thelaw of gestation.
Today, I'm going to beexploring what this actually
means, how it shows up withmoney and why trusting the
timing is one of the mostpowerful things that you can do
(00:23):
for your financial growth.
Welcome back to your Money,your Rules, with me.
Erin Gray, I'm so grateful thatyou're here and I'm excited to
talk to you about this universallaw today, so let's dive in.
So what actually is the law ofgestation?
It is the idea that everythinghas a specific incubation period
(00:48):
.
Basically, just like seeds needtime to grow into a plant, or a
baby needs 10 months inside itsmother's womb, to develop, your
goals, which include thefinancial ones, also need time,
and what I believe is you cannotforce them to arrive faster,
although many of us try Yourstruly over here have done that
(01:12):
most of my adult life, trying topush and make them come faster
than their natural timeline, andI think that we do this from a
place of.
We think that if they arrivefaster because we believe that
the feeling is outside of us,versus and what I mean by.
That is the reason why we wantsomething to come quicker is
(01:34):
because we think that when wehave that thing it's going to
make us feel a certain way.
But that's not how our feelingsare generated.
They are always coming fromwithin, from our beliefs, from
our thoughts, from what we thinkabout ourselves.
That is what creates ourfeelings, and the how and the
when is not your responsibility,it's God's.
Or if you resonate withuniverse or spirit or source,
(01:58):
whatever it is, that is theresponsibility of God's spirit,
source, universe, not us.
So how does this actually showup with money?
You might set a goal to hit acertain amount monthly in your
business and then, when itdoesn't, you don't see that
(02:18):
happen.
You feel frustrated because itdoesn't happen right away.
But money manifestations, likeeverything.
It is a universal law.
Everything follows the law ofgestation, so it applies to
everything, including money.
So there are unseen processes,there's magic that's happening
(02:40):
in the background.
When you declare you know whatyou want to create or what you
want to manifest, there arethese magical forces that are
unfolding and I think that thisallows for your nervous system
to adjust to new levels ofreceiving.
Your identity is shifting, theright opportunities are lining
(03:02):
up and when we start to doubt orwe have fear, or we start and
begin to worry, we actually slowdown this process.
So let's talk about whyimpatience actually slows down
your process.
If you dig up a seed every dayto see if it's growing, you
(03:24):
actually disturb the naturalprocess.
Think about it.
If does a farmer till the soil,plant the seed, go out daily
and check to see and wonder whyit hasn't sprouted already?
No, he or she knows it's goingto sprout and their job is to go
(03:46):
out and nurture it, to give itlove, to give it water, allow
the sunshine to come on, makesure that it's getting plenty of
sunshine, making sure that thesoil is just right for it, and
then universal intelligence doesthe rest.
Many of us, I believe we,haven't been taught this.
So if you think about withmoney, if you want to create
(04:12):
more money, manifest more money,if you are set your intention
and you say bring it to me inthe easiest and the quickest way
, and I would say, first andforemost, when I'm talking about
manifesting money or creatingmore money, I'm not talking
about sitting on the couch andjust magically manifesting money
(04:33):
you have to have a vessel, youhave to have some type of vessel
to receive this money.
So, whether that be obviouslythrough your business, a lot of
my clients are business owners,so let's just assume that your
business is your vessel.
So if you are saying that youwant to create certain amount of
(04:57):
money in a month, do youactually have the vessel to
support that currently?
So think about once you havedecided and declared what you
want to generate in yourbusiness, are you checking
obsessively, are you doubtingyourself?
Are you panicking or feelingfear or worry that it's not
(05:21):
happening?
Like you're looking at youraccounts, you're looking at your
Stripe account and then you'reusing that evidence to then
create the belief that it's notworking.
I mean, so often I'm in someFacebook groups one for my
podcast and so often some of thewomen in there when they're
asking their questions you cansense the energy is from it's
(05:42):
not working.
Well, if you are coming fromthe energy of it's not working,
that is what is going to happen.
So think about when you havedecided to call in more business
growth, are you doing that fromlove and expansion and fun and
joy, or are you doing it fromfear, doubt, worry and panic?
(06:05):
So those lower vibrationemotions it's going to disrupt
the energy and it's going toslow down the process, disrupt
the energy and it's going toslow down the process.
And you are going to know ifyou are doing this and how often
you are doing this by how youfeel in your body.
This is why it's so importantthat I encourage clients.
I'm always telling clients oradvising them or encouraging
(06:27):
them I should say encouraging isthe best word Encouraging them
to slow down and feel what theyare feeling in their body.
We have become a world that isso fast in taking action, in
moving through the world, inmaking decisions, that and, yes,
making decisions quickly andswiftly, which is, I think, a
(06:47):
good thing.
But what is quickly and swiftlyright?
Like to someone it might beweeks or months and to some
other person it might be acouple of days, like it's all
relative.
But I do think taking actiononce you have feel calm and you
feel you're coming from thatenergy of sufficiency and
abundance, yes, take the action,but that's not where most of us
(07:09):
need to start.
We need to start with slowingdown for a hot second and
tapping into our bodies andactually getting clear on what
we are feeling and then, once weare there once we have.
When I say pondered, what Imean is like gotten into the
body and really felt what we arefeeling when we are making
(07:34):
decisions.
Are we making them from arushed place?
Are we making them from aknowing place?
The other thing that I think isreally important to say here is
that your body, it needs timeto calibrate holding or having
more money, more clients, moresuccess.
I did a podcast on how do youincrease, you know, your wealth
(07:55):
or increase the capacity to have, and I think I'll put that in
the show notes to go back if youwant to listen to that episode.
But I think that when havingthat amount of money or that
amount of business success orhaving systems in place, you
know for me to ask for $100,000a month right now.
I don't have systems in placeto support that amount of money.
(08:16):
So you have to think about whatdo I need to do and act
differently, feel differently inorder to create that, and we do
this by visualizing through ourend scenes, like END and end
scene.
You know we have to make thesuccess that we are after, or
wanting, desiring, and theamount of money that we want to
(08:39):
have.
It has to feel natural and wecan't be putting it up on a
pedestal.
You know, if you're thinkingthat, having a million dollars
or more, $10 million, if you'reputting that amount of money up
on a pedestal, we aren't avibrational match to it.
Think about the law ofattraction or the law of
(09:00):
vibration Like attracts like.
So if you think that would beamazing, but from a place of I
don't have it, you're in lack,and lack is attracting more.
Lack, not abundance.
So the law of gestation givesus time to work on ourselves, to
do that inner work that we needto do within to then be ready
(09:23):
to receive what we are callingin Our identity.
I always come back to ouridentity, our self-concept being
on the same frequency of thatof which we desire.
You know, think about it thisway Someone who has a million
dollars well, I should saysomeone who has a good
relationship with money and thatyou know has generated from
(09:46):
love and abundance isn'tthinking about the million
dollars all the time.
They're thinking about how dothey create the next million.
All the time they're thinkingabout how do they create the
next million.
So, if you are thinking aboutand worrying about and obsessing
about the money all the time,think about what vibration are
you actually in.
So I think, if we can sink into, if we can love the gestation
(10:12):
period, the law of gestation, itcan be such a beautiful thing,
because then you begin to trustthe process.
You know your nervous systemonce you learn how to regulate
it.
And here's the thing we'realways going to be what I say,
going from the 5D to the 3D,meaning we're going to be in our
spiritual being self, and thenwe're going to come into our
(10:34):
human mind, right, and our humanmind is going to see the
observed world and it's going tosay things, or it's going to
think things and it's going tosay it can't be possible, it's
not happening fast enough.
Whatever it's going to say, Idon't think it ever goes away.
Right, we live in this humanbody, but how quickly we react
to it or we don't react to it,how quickly we go back to our
imagined state.
(10:54):
That is what I'm wanting toimpress upon you.
Is that's what we're workingfor or that's what we're working
towards?
So your system is regulated,and when things feel natural for
you, like when you finallyreceive what it is that you have
asked, you're probably not eventhinking about that anymore.
And you're?
You know, if someone were totell you, you know, if they were
(11:18):
to look at your books and belike, yeah, you hit your X month
, be like, yeah, of course, duh,like I'm already onto the next
thing, and not from like thisisn't good enough, but like I've
already been that person forthat long.
Of course I'm going to receivethat.
And the thing I think also isthat there is a wanting, and
then there is the belief, andthen there is the knowing, and
we have to get to the place ofknowing, knowing that your
(11:39):
desires are already done,because they are.
You know the book I think it'scalled Power of Awareness, by
Neville Goddard.
It's an amazing book.
It's a short read, but it's oneof those things where you just
read the chapters over and overagain and you learn new things
each time.
But Neville Goddard says thatnothing is created.
It is only manifested, meaningit is brought from the 5D into
(12:04):
the 3D, into that material plane.
This is what actually allowsmoney to flow easily, because
everything that was ever neededto be created or created has
already been done.
We just need to take it.
You know, you think about yourimagination.
The reason why you can imagine,it is because it already exists
for you on some other plane andyou just got to get to that
vibration to receive it.
(12:26):
So what are these actual steps?
First and foremost, keeptending the soil, and your soil
is being disciplined with yourmind.
What are you allowing in?
Are those scarcity thoughts?
Are they prosperous thoughts?
Abundant thoughts, like be veryaware of what is your mind.
(12:48):
What is it saying to you?
And then, what are you feedingit?
Are you showing up for yourbusiness on a consistent basis?
Sometimes I'll have people say,oh, I want to make X, y, z and
it's like OK, well, are youtreating your business like a
business or are you treating itlike a hobby?
Also, too, are you followingthe breadcrumbs?
Are you celebrating everylittle sign of growth?
(13:09):
You know, so often we have justcompletely bypassed what we
have, you know, created, even ifit's just the 1%.
Are you celebrating that?
Or are you coming from a belief,like I mentioned earlier, where
it's not working?
And this is where I say youhave to really slow down and
check in with your energy,because if you are coming from
(13:31):
the belief that it is workingand you are looking at your KPIs
or your data and you'regenuinely curious on what could
you be doing differently, likewhat else could you try?
What else could you do?
That is coming from a place ofcuriosity and abundance.
When you are coming from theplace of it's not working,
(13:53):
nothing is working.
When is this going to happen?
That energy is very differentenergy when you're looking at
your data, are you in joyfulanticipation, like when you know
something's already happening.
You're not stressing about it.
You're like imagining, like howfun it's going to be when it
shows up.
It's not from a place of Iwonder if it's going to happen.
(14:16):
I wonder if it's going to come.
Are you feeling grateful on adaily basis for everything that
you currently have and for whatis coming your way and from
living from that wish fulfilled?
Or are you doubting or worryingbecause it hasn't shown up yet?
I think it's always working.
Like that's a belief thatserves me.
(14:36):
It's always working, even whenyou think it's not.
It's always working.
Trust that it is always working, even if you can't see it yet.
Like I think our faith muscleneeds to improve.
Right, it already exists.
It just hasn't shown up in theobserved world.
So focus on you know, even ifyou have to start with, like
(14:59):
writing down what is alreadyworking in my business, where
look at how far I've alreadycome.
You really have to focus themind like.
This is the and I'm air quotingthe hard work that those of us
that have been taught we have towork hard.
It is not manual labor, it isnot hours worked.
It is being very watchful ofwhat our mind tries to tell us
(15:25):
when we don't have or receivewhat it is that we want.
Yet, it is staying focused, itis staying disciplined.
It is, you know, when thethought comes in and says oh,
you won't ever get to this place, or you're taking so long or
you're not cut out for this, orwhatever.
The mind tries to chatter at us.
It is stopping that, Ishouldn't say stopping it.
It is allowing that thought togo by with no emotion at all and
(15:48):
then from connectingimmediately with what thought do
I want to believe?
