Sacred Money: How to Heal Your Financial Relationship for Lasting Abundance
Money. Just reading the word might trigger a wave of emotions—stress, shame, excitement, or even fear. For many of us, our relationship with money is complicated, tangled in deep emotional patterns and unconscious beliefs. In this post, I want to explore how we can shift from financial chaos to financial harmony by redefining money as a sacred energy.
Money as Sacred Energy
What if money wasn’t just about numbers, budgets, and transactions? What if money was an energetic force, a reflection of how we engage with life? When we shift our perspective, we stop seeing money as something to control or fear and instead recognize it as a tool that aligns with our greater vision. Just like energy, money flows where attention goes. If we approach it with scarcity and fear, it remains elusive. If we engage with it mindfully and with gratitude, it has the potential to expand.
Unresolved Shame & Spending Habits
For years, I struggled with financial missteps—debt, overspending, and the lingering shame that followed. Looking back, I now understand that these patterns weren’t just about poor financial decisions; they were deeply tied to unresolved emotions. Overspending became a temporary escape from feelings of unworthiness, unhappiness, or even loneliness.
Many of us develop a money story early in life—whether it’s "I have to work hard to deserve abundance" or "I’ll never be financially stable." Without realizing it, these beliefs shape our habits, often leading to self-sabotage or avoidance. The first step to healing? Confronting these internal narratives and rewriting them.
Facing the Shadow
Healing our financial life requires more than just practical budgeting tools (though those help, too). It demands that we look at the deeper emotional roots of our financial patterns. Are we afraid of success? Do we carry guilt around spending? Are we avoiding responsibility because of past wounds? These are the "secrets we keep from ourselves."
By bringing awareness to these hidden beliefs and traumas, we can start shifting from a place of financial survival to a state of financial empowerment.
Actionable Steps to Heal Your Financial Relationship
Want to start transforming your relationship with money today? Here are three actionable steps you can take:
- Identify Your Leaks – Review your finances and look for areas where money is slipping away unnecessarily—subscriptions you don’t use, impulse buys, or spending that doesn’t align with your values. Ask yourself, “Does this truly serve my well-being?”
- Create Small Rituals Around Money – Instead of mindlessly spending, turn financial interactions into intentional acts. Before making a purchase, pause and ask yourself if it aligns with your greater vision. Express gratitude when receiving or spending money, reinforcing a positive energy flow.
- Examine Your Emotional Triggers – The next time you feel an urge to spend impulsively or stress about finances, take a step back. What emotion is driving that behavior? Journal or meditate on what unmet emotional need might be fueling your financial habits.
A New Path Forward
Money doesn’t have to be a source of stress and anxiety. When we begin seeing it as sacred energy, release past shame, and face our financial shadows, we open ourselves up to lasting abundance.
Healing your financial relationship is not just about numbers—it’s about self-acceptance, trust, and creating a life that aligns with your deepest values.
