How To Release Money Blocks and Manifest Abundance:

Where Money Blocks Come From:

Our childhoods shape us into the adults we become, so it’s unsurprising that money blocks often stem from childhood as well. “If your parents told you that money is the root of all evil, that negative belief got stored somewhere in your subconscious, and this subconscious belief blocks you from making money,” Lewis explained.

Bacine also echoed this sentiment. “Most of our stories and beliefs about money originate from childhood and the way we watched our parents relate to money growing up,” she said. “We also project the unhealed relationships we have with our parents onto our money story. For women, it’s typically their father. Since money has more of a masculine energy, women tend to project their unhealed wounds with the masculine onto money.”

Furthermore, Bacine also told me that money blocks can stem from an unhealthy relationship with money. “An unhealthy relationship with money really starts with the feelings you have towards it. It’s not about how much money you have,” she told me. “I have seen people who come from money who still have an unhealthy relationship with it; they may still be in a scarcity mindset despite having a lot of it, and they may use it to manipulate and control others. It’s all a matter of perception.” At the end of the day, if your beliefs around money are coming from a wounded place, you’ll have an unhealthy relationship with it.

5 Steps To Heal From Money Blocks and Manifest Abundance:

Childhood may shape our adulthood, but it doesn’t have to define us. Thankfully, we’re lucky enough to live in a society that gives us access to professionals and therapists so we can heal from emotional wounds and evolve.

1. Reflect on your childhood

Bacine and Lewis both recommend reflecting on your beliefs about money and how it was treated in your childhood first and foremost. “This means unraveling the wounding you carry from your parents, as well as any programming or limiting beliefs you took on from them and your environment,” Bacine told me.

Additionally, Lewis suggests taking some time to ask yourself tough questions and journaling your answers. How did the adults in your household treat money? What feelings or emotions do finances bring up? Do you fear money? Likewise, think about what it means to you to have money, be wealthy, or rich. Reflecting on your childhood may be painful and difficult, but it will be worth it in the end.

2. Realize that money is not finite

“We are programmed from a very young age to believe that there is only so much love, money or resources to go around. And this is simply not true,” Bacine told me. “The universe is abundant and infinite. Anywhere that you project beliefs and feelings of unworthiness will affect your ability to call in more money; you’ll be limited to experiencing lack.”

Recognizing that money isn’t finite is going to help you attract abundance. Bacine also told me that as you shift out of old narratives, you’ll naturally make more money. Creating new beliefs and intentions is what’s going to help you call money to you.

3. Respect money

It is so important we respect money for what it is: a tool. “The frequency of money is energetically neutral,” Lewis explained. “We are in a relationship with money. And the more we can honor, respect, and treat that relationship well, the more money will flow in.”

Lewis recommends checking in with money daily the same way you would with a close friend or romantic partner. “This may look like taking a look at your bank accounts instead of avoiding them,” she said. She also suggests setting aside time weekly to check in on your finances; this time can be dedicated to checking in on your financial goals, determining what bills need to be paid, and figuring out how you can manage your money more effectively. “The more time and productive, dedicated energy we can spend with our money, the faster we can improve our relationship with it and heal those money blocks,” Lewis said.

4. Have a grateful mindset

Living in a state of scarcity or putting yourself at a disadvantage (like jokingly throwing out there “I’m so poor”) is only going to prevent you from making money. Instead, start every day with a grateful mindset. Be grateful for the money that you do have right now. Once you’re able to do that, you can then work on receiving and manifesting more.

5. Enlist the help of mindfulness practices

Lastly, practicing mindfulness daily is what’s really going to transform your mindset and help you attract abundance. Bacine is a huge proponent of breathwork, and her Ascension Toolkit can help you process your emotions, gain clarity through your intuition, and step into the highest version of yourself so that you can attract abundance with ease. Likewise, she’s also a fan of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is a type of counseling that interacts with the body to remove trauma and fears.

In addition, practicing meditation is another way to release money blocks and manifest abundance. “You can use meditation to heal your money blocks,” Lewis explained to me. “Meditation allows us to tap into the subconscious and the unconscious mind because it helps us tap into the Alpha and Theta brainwave states (the states when our brain is more relaxed and is susceptible to suggestion). In these relaxed states, we can reprogram our belief systems with money and create new belief systems that support an empowered and abundant relationship with money.” If you’re looking for some guidance to get started, Emily the Mystic’s Meditation Library has 20+ meditations that can help you remove all emotional blocks (including money!) and transform your life.
