Tonight, we explore a subject that stirs both fascination and anxiety in the hearts of many: money. But we’re not here to talk dollars and cents in the traditional sense. Instead, we’re diving into a growing school of thought that views money not as a fixed object, but as something more dynamic—energy.
That’s right. According to an emerging body of psychologists, economists, and spiritual leaders alike, money behaves much like any other form of energy: it flows, it responds, and it reflects.
Dr. Aisha Monroe, a behavioral economist at NYU, puts it plainly: “When people treat money as something to be feared, hoarded, or obsessed over, they disrupt its natural flow. Fear-based financial decisions create stagnation—both mentally and economically.”
In this paradigm, money is not inherently good or bad. It is neutral. It amplifies intention and responds to mindset. Fear, anxiety, and guilt constrict the flow of money. Confidence, clarity, and generosity help expand it.
Practitioners of this “money-as-energy” philosophy emphasize shifting the internal dialogue around finances—from scarcity and shame to empowerment and trust. That begins with language. Statements like “I can’t afford that” are replaced with “That’s not a priority right now.” Subtle, but powerful.
Another key principle: circulation. Just as blood must flow for the body to thrive, money must move to fulfill its purpose. This doesn’t mean reckless spending, but rather conscious circulation—paying bills with gratitude, donating with intention, investing with vision.
Entrepreneur and financial coach Luis Delgado says his entire business changed when he started treating money as a partner, not a burden. “Once I stopped fearing it and started respecting it—tracking it, blessing it, aligning it with my values—it started working for me.”
Science supports this mindset shift. Neuroplasticity studies show that repeated financial stress rewires the brain for survival, limiting creative and strategic thinking. But practicing mindfulness around money can reverse that pattern, fostering resilience and opportunity.
So, what does it all mean?
Perhaps it’s time we stop treating money as the enemy—and start seeing it as an ally. Like all energy, it flows best when we meet it with purpose, not panic. Enjoy and may your money move in harmony with your highest self.
