Take a slow,
Easy breath in and let it go.
Let your shoulders drop,
Let your jaw soften,
And let your breath become a little deeper than usual,
Like your body is already starting to exhale something old.
You don't need to do anything here.
Just arrive.
Just be as you are.
Notice the weight of your body grounding you,
Holding you.
Notice the space around you,
Safe,
Quiet,
And without demand.
Let your breath gently lengthen.
Not forced,
Not controlled,
Just invited.
And with every exhale,
Imagine your body releasing a thin strand of pressure.
The pressure to know everything.
The pressure to fix everything.
The pressure to be good with money,
Or to have done everything right in the past.
Let these pressures melt,
Like knots loosening.
You're here because something inside you is ready to heal.
Not through discipline,
Not through shame,
Not through self-judgment.
But through gentleness and compassion.
Money can stir old stories,
Old fear,
Old embarrassment,
Old beliefs about worthiness or failure,
Old stories about not being good enough.
If any of those stories are present right now,
You don't need to push them away.
Just acknowledge them like little versions of you who tried their best with the information they had.
You can say silently,
Thank you for trying to protect me.
I'm listening now.
Feel how your body shifts when you speak to yourself with kindness.
Now,
Bring your attention to the center of your chest,
Or your stomach,
Or anywhere in your body where money stress or shame tends to live.
Imagine that place like a small knot of energy.
Not wrong,
Not broken,
Just tight,
Just tired.
Imagine a warm golden light beginning to glow around that knot,
Warming it up,
Softening it.
This golden light is your own innate healing intelligence,
The part of you that knows how to repair,
Reroute,
And release.
Let the light warm this place like sunlight on cold skin.
See if you can sense the oldest story you carry about money.
Maybe it's I should have known better.
Maybe it's I'm bad with money.
Maybe it's I can't trust myself,
Or I'm reckless,
Or I'm irresponsible.
Maybe it's simply fear.
Whatever comes up,
Let it be here without resistance.
Now imagine this old story as a thin thread attached to that knot.
Gently hold the thread.
You don't have to pull it all out at once.
Just notice it,
Touch it,
Recognize it.
And when you're ready,
Imagine placing the end of that thread into the warm golden light.
Watch the light begin to dissolve it,
Slowly,
Lovingly,
Without judgment.
Not erasing your past,
But releasing the shame around it.
You can whisper internally,
I release this shame.
I keep the wisdom.
Feel the difference.
Now imagine the golden light growing larger,
Filling your chest,
Your abdomen,
Your throat,
Your shoulders.
This is the part of you that is capable,
Resilient,
Resourceful.
This is the part of you that has already survived heartbreak,
Transitions,
Grief,
And reinvention.
Let this light tell you a new truth.
I am repairing my relationship with money.
I learn new things at any age.
I can be trusted.
Money is an energy I can work with.
My worth is not measured in dollars or decisions.
Let each statement land like a warm hand on your back.
Now imagine your future self,
The one who has healed this wound.
The one who feels steady and stabilized with money.
The one who earns in aligned,
Soulful ways.
See your future self approach you with a soft smile.
They place a hand over your heart and say,
You're not behind.
You're not failing.
You're building.
Let those words echo inside you.
This healed version of you hands you a small glowing symbol.
Maybe a coin,
A stone,
A flame,
Or a key.
Take a moment and imagine what that symbol is.
Don't force it.
You can just use what comes first to mind.
This symbol represents your new relationship with money.
Clear,
Empowered,
Compassionate.
Hold the symbol gently.
Let its energy merge with yours.
Now take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Feel your body grounded,
Steady,
And open.
You may not have healed everything in one meditation and you don't need to.
Because healing money shame is not about perfection.
Healing money shame is about remembering that you deserve clarity,
Abundance,
And ease.
Not as a reward,
But as your natural state.
And when you're ready,
Bring some movement into your fingers and toes.
Feel the room around you and carry this softness with you as you step back into your day.
Lighter,
Clearer,
And a little more free.
