Money: The Spiritual Sidekick You Didn't Know You Had

Let's talk about money, but not in the usual "save every penny" way. Instead, imagine money is a bit like that energy drink that gets you through a marathon—except this marathon is your life, and the energy drink doesn't give you jitters. Money, in all its glory, is actually a bundle of energy. And before you ask, no, it won't give you superpowers, but it can do some pretty cool stuff. Especially in your spiritual business.

However, to make it work – we have to think about our money in a spiritual way!

Money Is Just Energy—Seriously

Everything around us is energy. Your cat, your favorite coffee mug, and yes, even the money in your bank account. So, if we start seeing money as this flowing, moving energy rather than a static pile of paper (or plastic), things get interesting. It's all about the vibes. Keep your good money vibes up, and maybe, just maybe, money will start hanging around you looking for ways to make a difference.

From "Not Enough" to "Plenty to Go Around"

I know you’ve heard the "glass half empty" versus "glass half full" debate. That's us talking about money now. If you always think there's not enough, guess what? There won't be. But if you flip the script and believe there's money out there looking for a way to do good in the world (and you’re doing good in the world, right?!), you'll start to notice a change. I know it’s hard to fathom. It’s hard for me, too, sometimes. But trust me – I’ve experimented with this many times - when you open your heart and mind, and welcome money into your life, it arrives at your door in unexpected ways.

You must be willing to welcome it in. That’s called “receiving,” and it’s a spiritual practice.

Making Money Meaningful

When we start thinking about money as our little energy friend, we get excited about how we hang out with it. It's no longer just about making ends meet but about making those ends do something useful in the world. Money gets bored just sitting around.

Here's an “action step” you can take; Every time you spend money, do it with a smile. Buy stuff that makes your heart sing, support businesses that are doing cool things, and remember, every dollar you spend is like a high-five to the universe. Put your money where your heart is. Whether it's donating to a cause you believe in or investing in a startup that's going to save the world, make your money matter.

The Rollercoaster Ride of Wealth

Money comes, and money goes—kinda like that friend who can't decide whether they're coming to dinner until the last minute. Sometimes you'll feel like a millionaire, and other times, you'll be scrounging for couch change. The trick is to ride the wave with a laugh and not get too hung up on the highs and lows.

Seeing money as a form of energy can change the game. It's not about hoarding it or showing it off but about keeping it flowing and giving it something important to do. Keep it light, keep it fun, and remember, money might just be the most spiritual green paper (or plastic) you'll ever meet.

So next time you look at your wallet, give it a wink and say, "Let's make some magic happen."
