CRISTO'S ABUNDANCE INVENTORY MEDITATION & JOURNAL PROMPTS
Cristo's Abundance Inventory prompts are specifically designed to reveal and heal the unconscious thoughts that comprise your money mindset.
These prompts, collectively, are designed to access that portion of the unconscious that contains data related to money. As each question is contemplated and answered from the depths of the unconscious, the thoughts that comprise your money mindset are revealed to the conscious mind where integration takes place.
These prompts are best used in a contemplative state—a state that facilitates the flow of information from the unconscious to the conscious mind. Sit silently with each question held in the conscious mind for 10–20 minutes before journaling. Repeat this process for each prompt to reveal and heal your money mindset.
