Saturday, July 10, 2010 - Healing Truth Center founder Shawna Marie hosted the first of a three-part series to support the achievement of complete financial freedom on her Blog Talk Radio Show "SHAWNA MARIE: Living in Spiritual Perspective." The Faith & Finances series was born out of a show last week: Complete Financial Freedom. Faith & Finances Part I - Getting Started focused upon encouraging listeners to consider the thoughts and feelings that can either hinder or accelerate their achievement of financial freedom. Expert panelists Denise Allen, Kirsten Fellows and Alicia Hill offered a wealth of wisdom to support movement towards thoughts and experiences in line with a vision of financial freedom. Listen to the show Faith & Finances - Part I "Getting Started."

 Suggestions from the Experts

Take physical action to initiate a process of change! Go for a walk, listen to music, help others and volunteer. These are great ways to take your focus off of challenging circumstances. And remember, "all things are possible to God."
- Kirsten Fellows, Ameriprise Financial

The principles of money and wealth building haven't changed. Build an income stream that is not subject to outside forces so you can mitigate the impact of outside forces when there are changes in the outer. Saving is an effort to build a foundation for financial freedom, not about "saving for a rainy day."
- Denise Allen, author of The Money Poems

In addition to physical movement, I chant each and every day to attune to the idea "I AM One with the Universe." Also, I know that M.O.N.E.Y. (My Own Natural Energy Yield) flows from me. Instead of saving, I have a line item in my budget and take steps to grow my "Opportunity Fund."
- Alicia R. Hill, Obsidian Institute Inc.
