There’s a deep current of a abundance within us that either runs freely or is obstructed by our thoughts about wealth, money, and finance. How we recognize and relate to this conscious force is this month’s alignment.
Have you noticed that no matter how much some people have, it is never enough, or how some people always seem to struggle with money? Which side of that continuum do you most relate to?
It’s How You Feel Inside
Most people think of prosperity as something “out there”: a reward you earn, a resource you chase, or a sign of material success. But the deeper truth is that abundance is a movement of energy. It’s not separate from consciousness….which means, it’s not separate from you. It’s shaped by our inner state long before it becomes tangible in our outer world.
When our relationship with self is rooted in fear, we either cling too tightly to things (money, jobs, people) or push them away entirely. But when we relate to ourselves as the flow and expression of the Divine, we stop taking things personally and simply allow the natural coming and going, trusting that what goes will come again in another form and knowing that what comes must one day go. What we have or don’t stops being a sign of our worth.
We’re not meant to grasp at abundance through tension or fear. We’re meant to open to the current of the larger intelligence moving through us. Prosperity is not granted through strain. It arises naturally when our consciousness becomes a clear channel.
Inspiration from Sri Aurobindo
In my prosperity healing journey, I came across a book of wisdom that completely elevated my money mindset, specifically one chapter of it. The book is The Mother by Sri Aurobindo, an Indian saint and contemporary of Ghandi. I highly recommend the reading of at least Chapter 4 if you ever get the opportunity. But if it isn’t your thing, allow me to share some of the most important and relevant takeaways that reveal that while money is a material necessity, it is so much more than we realize. It is a visible sign of a misunderstood universal force that is asking to be purified, surrendered, and used rightly.
Most importantly, if spiritual seekers shun money completely because it isn’t spiritual to want money, that power remains in the hands of those forces who remain ignorant of its power. We can see this in the imbalance in the world where the 1% own 75% of all wealth. That’s why we must reclaim it for the Divine instead, as a trustee, not as a personal possessor.
Here are a few more points from The Mother:
- Money is more than a tool. It is an aspect of Divine Flow that demands a pure intention and openness to serve.
- Whether you have a little or a lot in the material sense, how you handle it is what determines your sense of worth and fulfillment.
- Anxiety about money can stagnate the flow or push abundance away. Don’t be afraid to use what you have or of times when it seems as though you don’t have what you need. Instead, know who you are.
- Use money for purpose, not for consumption. If you treat money as a means to serve a higher aim (teaching, healing, beauty, truth), you’re aligning with the work of the Divine.
- Trust in inner alignment to provide. If your work is sincere, you open yourself to receive what is needed in ways you might not expect. Your connection to the Divine is what gives you access to the money-force.
- Resist both extremes: ascetic renunciation of money and greed. Neither is the right path. The right path is conscious use guided by a dedication to serve.
- We own nothing. We are merely stewards of all we have in this life. What comes will one day be taken or go and what goes must surely come again in another form.
“The true attitude is complete confidence in the Mother’s Force… and a quiet, steady opening to receive it.” ~Sri Aurobindo
Our Practice: Breathing with Gold
Sit comfortably. Breath in and when you exhale say outloud, “I AM my own treasure.” As you breath in, imagine breathing in the purifying light, shine and quality of gold. Repeat. With each exhalation, bless the world. As you inhale, receive all that Life offers you. Feel the coming and going, the ease of the breath.
Journal Prompt
Where do I tighten around the idea of money, either grasping for it or shrinking away from it, and what happens if I imagine prosperity as a flowing force rather than something I must control?
Scarcity to Sovereignty: Money, Meaning, &
the New Economy
If you’d like to find out more about how I’ve broken ancestral scarcity patterning, I’ve just completed a mini-book, Scarcity to Sovereignty: Money, Meaning & the New Economy . It isn’t a how-to-get-rich booklet; it’s an initiation into the symbol of money.
It is for you if you are…
- Feeling fear, distrust, or grief about the economy, inflation, or job loss.
- Spiritually or emotionally aware but financially confused or intimidated.
- Wanting to stay true to your values while becoming more financially literate.
- Just waking up to how fragile and manipulated the current financial system is.
- Curious about the changing landscape of finance.
The book is 50 pages, so there’s no stress in “getting through” a lot of material or bloat; it’s to the point. There are 8 chapters in addition to the introduction and resources. There are several exercises and a downloaded MP3 meditation included in one low price. Get your download now!
In Conclusion
What we believe about prosperity…the ideas that we’ve ingested either from our ancestors or from our culture such as the fear of not having enough or fear of wanting too much…determines our relationship not just to money but to our very selves. When we deprogram our thoughts around money, we create space for an abundant intelligence to move through us.
You’re invited this month to release your outdated beliefs and old contractions and meet abundance as the steady, spacious and generous current of the Divine Force already within you.
