Learn To Understand The Energy Of Money

Last Updated on August 15, 2026

Curious about the energy of money? Welcome to the club.

Fun fact: I admit it: I’ve had to do a lot of conscious work on my money mindset in the last few years.

And here’s something important that I’ve learned:

Understanding the energetics of money has everything to do with whether you can manifest it or not.

Because let’s face it: money is one of the most important elements of modern life. It really does make the world go round, no matter what we happen to think about it. And, unfortunately, many of us have money blocks that prevent us from getting more of it.

Can you relate? If so, you’re not alone! Money is a difficult (emotional) subject for so many of us.

The Energetics of Money

Like so many other toxic beliefs, most of this stems back to our childhood.

For example, I definitely didn’t learn a whole lot about money directly while I was growing up. But from watching my family I just knew it was something that was difficult to obtain and hold onto.

I certainly don’t remember anyone talking about ease and flow around money as a child! But I do remember lots of people complaining about not having it, talking about what we’d do with it or even slightly resenting other people for having it.

You might not think that stuff from your childhood has anything to do with who you are now. After all, it was a long time ago, right?

But that’s just plain wrong. Even though our conscious mind is good at separating fact from fiction, our subconscious mind is still clinging on to all those old beliefs as if they were gospel.

So please don’t blame yourself if you’re feeling lack around money! Many of our financial beliefs were not things we consciously learned. As children, we’re just little sponges, soaking up information (whether accurate or not) from the world around us.

As adults, most of us have to go back into those mental files to review and decide on which ones are worth keeping and which ones are actually damaging to us now.

(Note: this isn’t about building up resentment to our past! We’re not perfect, and neither were our parents, family members, or friends. No one did this on purpose. If you start pointing the finger of blame, you’re just trapping yourself in victim mode.)

The good news if this is something you want to learn more about! This month I’m going to be talking about money a lot. So get prepared to expand your money consciousness and start growing towards abundance.

Today, we’re kicking off the series by talking about the energy of money.

One of the most mind-expanding concepts about money that I’ve learned is that money is just energy. It’s only once you start thinking about it as energy that you’ll begin to understand it’s true nature!

There are only three things you need to understand about the energy of money if you want to start manifesting more of it into your life:

3 Easy Ways To Understand The Energy Of Money

Energy Of Money Principle #1: Money Is Energy


The most important thing to understand about money is that really is just another form of energy. It’s another aspect of consciousness, just like you are! We’re all part of the same fabric—the fabric of the Universe.

When you look at it this way, it automatically takes money off the pedestal we tend to put it on. It brings money back down to our level.

It’s also so key to know that while money is energy, it’s also neutral. It’s still common for people to believe that money is inherently evil. There’s no question money can be used for evil—but it can also be used for good!

Money amplifies the energy of the person who holds it. It simply intensifies what’s already there. Otherwise, it’s just neutral. If you struggle to manifest money, it’s important to get this concept. You direct your own energy, and that includes the money that you command. If you have more money, you just have more power to direct. It’s not going to make you suddenly evil, and in fact, it will only amplify the energy that you have inside you. (And, since you’re here, I’m guessing your energy isgood.)

Energy Of Money Principle #2: Money Wants To Be Used



When you’re used to not having money, it can be tempting to hoard it and cling on to it when you get it. But again, money is energy and this energy loves to flow. The very nature of money means that it goes in and out, like the ideas at shore.

When you start to cling on to your money tightly, it’s showing your fear that the money won’t flow back again. So think of it this way: can you control the tides on the beach? Just think about how silly you would look if you tried to do that.

Money will always ebb and flow so we might as well get comfortable with letting it do that—even when it’s ebbing and flowing out of our own bank account.

Hoarding or holding onto money tightly won’t attract more money to you. Instead, it will actually block more coming through.

So it’s time to learn how to let go.

Start blessing your money as you’re spending it. Because it’s not really about it leaving you. It’s about allowing money to support you.

Remember that every dollar you spend holds power. You are deciding who to bestow your love and blessings on with every penny you spend, whether you’re donating to charity, filling up the pantry at Costco or buying pretty new shoes. Money is more than happy to do its job: to make you happy and to get stuff done.

If you freak out about using it, then it just goes to show that you’re not invested in your own abilities to make that money back. But not spending the money isn’t the real problem.

The real problem is in your faith to receive more of it! So if you’re having problems spending what you have (within reason of course!) then it’s time to dig a little deeper into your attitude and mindset around money.

Energy Of Money Principle #3: Money Demands Respect, Not Fear



Believe it or not, money wants to be your friend! But be real. Are you making it easy for money to do that?

Many of us live in fear of money, without even noticing that we’re doing so. But if you’re avoiding looking at your bank account or opening your bills, then your actions are speaking loud and clear! Avoidance might not seem like action, but it is in its own form. It echoes your fear.

How can you become friends with someone who goes out of their way to avoid you? You can’t.

The key to fixing this is to start facing your fear head-on.

No matter how bad you think your situation is, please know you’ll never get out from under it if you continue to ignore the problem. Remember the saying, where attention goes, energy flows. If you want to shift your energy, you must bring your attention back.

But that doesn’t mean you have to feel bad about it. Right now, your lack of money scares you. But it doesn’t have to. You get to switch up that thinking any time you like.

For example, if you’re in debt, you can be grateful for what that debt has brought to you (be that student loans or designer shoes). You spent that money on something that was important to you at the time! Think about it: what would your life be like if you hadn’t taken that action?

No one’s proud of their debt, but please remember that your debt does not mean you are stupid or helpless. There was intention in your actions at the time. So honor yourself for fulfilling those needs, whatever they happened to be. Remember, you can start a new money story starting right now. Where you’re going next is always more important than where you’ve been.


So tell me: what did you learn about the energy of money today? Which tip are you going to implement first?
