Meeting Money Face to Face: A Spiritual Encounter
What if you could meet Money—not as numbers on a screen or paper in your wallet, but as a being? Not a cold, impersonal system or a source of stress, but a presence with its own energy, personality, and wisdom?
The invitation is to stop treating money as merely a tool or a problem, and begin relating to it as something-someone-you can actually talk to. Listen to. Learn from.
Not metaphorically. Spiritually.
This isn’t about fantasy. It’s about relationship. And for those who are willing to change their relationship with Money, the shift can be radical.
A New Paradigm: Money is Not the Enemy
When people slow down and tune in, approaching Money with curiosity instead of anxiety, what they encounter can be unexpected.
One person sees a quiet, nonjudgmental companion—“He was just there, not pressuring me, not judging, just existing.” Another meets a radiant goddess cloaked in gold who says, “I am not what you’ve been told.”
So many of us have inherited stories about money being evil, selfish, corrupting, or always in short supply. Those narratives get embedded so deeply that we don’t even realize we’re relating to an energy field—not just a financial one, but a spiritual one—with avoidance, fear, or shame.
But when we drop in and approach Money not with judgment but with openness, something changes.
What Money Might Say
Here are some themes that arise when people meet Money in this way:
Money doesn’t chase us. It doesn’t try to win us over. It waits. It doesn’t force its way in. That quiet patience says more than words: I’ll meet you when you’re ready.
Money is relational. Money reflects our energy back to us. If we’re hesitant or guarded, Money feels distant. If we’re joyful or open, Money sparkles. It shows up how we show up.
Money is more than currency. It appears not just as bills or coins but as wind, light, rivers, or music. It reminds us that what we call “money” is just one form- what animates it is Life Force. Energy. Flow. Circulation. Possibility.
Why This Matters
If we only ever think of money in terms of earning and spending, we miss out on the deeper spiritual invitation: to heal our relationship with it, just like we would with any wounded or misunderstood relationship in our life.
Money, like a person who’s been unfairly blamed or ignored, may carry wisdom we’ve never taken the time to hear.
Imagine hearing Money say: “You don’t have to prove yourself to me.” Or even: “I miss you.”
What would change if we believed Money actually wanted to be close to us- not to control us, but to support us?
Try It Yourself
If you’re curious about what your Money might say, try this:
Sit quietly. Breathe deeply.
Ask: “Money, if you had a form, what would you be?”
Let the image come. Don’t force it.
Ask: “What would you like me to know?”
And listen.
Maybe nothing happens. That’s okay. You showed up. That alone is a shift.
Maybe something surprising appears. Stay curious.
Because this is the start of a relationship. One you were never taught to cultivate—but may have needed all along.
Resistance is Part of the Process
Of course, not everyone has a blissful encounter. Some people feel a blank or get no image at all. That’s not failure- it’s information. It tells us about the walls we’ve built.
Feeling numb or shut down around Money doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means there’s something that needs tending. A part of you may be saying, “I’m not sure it’s safe yet.” And that’s okay.
Resistance isn’t a problem to fix. It’s a message. It shows us where tenderness is needed. Maybe there are some emotional parts of you who are not quite ready for this meeting. Invite those parts of your heart to share their fears with you and then maybe try again.
I invite you to keep in mind this isn’t just about Money. It’s about power. Worth. Safety. Love. It’s about whether you believe you’re allowed to have enough.
A New Way Forward
To meet Money face to face is to meet yourself in a new way.
It’s to step out of old patterns of fear and control, and into a living dialogue with something that’s been with you all your life, but only now is being seen clearly.
Money is not just a tool. Not just a system. Not just a source of stress.
It is also a mirror.
A teacher.
And perhaps, if you’re willing to listen—a friend.
