If you’re not currently living in financial abundance, then you have not figured out how the Law of Attraction and money relate.
The relationship between the Law of Attraction and money is one of the great conundrums we’ve created in our universe. Most of us would like more money in our lives. In fact, for many people, the desire for more money is one of the main driving forces behind their daily choices.
This post was updated on 15 September 2025 to include new insights and examples.
We were told that if we worked hard, got good grades, and found a steady job, we would be rewarded with financial security. Yet even when we do all these things, many of us still never seem to have enough. We find ourselves wondering:
“I’ve done everything right. Why is there always too much month left at the end of the money?”
The truth is, only a tiny percentage of us actually regularly do the one thing that would bring us more money with much less effort; which is to align our vibration with our desire for more money or a financially-free way of life.
Why our beliefs about money can block abundance
What would you say if I told you we can all be rich? Or that there is no competition for money or resources in the world? Or that you can be, do or have anything you want?
What would your response be?
The answers and reactions you have to these three simple statements will tell you much about how you think about money, your underlying thoughts about it and your relationship to it. So think again! How did you honestly answer the questions above?
The truth is, we’ve been conditioned by parents, teachers, governments and society to see money as scarce and competitive. For example, most of us believe that there is a finite amount of money that is divided amongst more and more people, so we seem to get less and less. This belief runs deep, even though it isn’t actually true. Not many of us have an abundance mentality.
What beliefs about money are you holding?
When you hear statements like these, notice how familiar they sound:
- Money doesn’t grow on trees
- There’s only so much to go around
- You can’t be rich and spiritual
- The love of money is the root of all evil
- Tell that to my bank balance!
They might feel like harmless sayings, but they reveal limiting beliefs that can block the flow of abundance.
The Law of Attraction teaches us that what we focus on expands. If most of our thoughts about money are fearful, doubtful or rooted in lack, then we are unconsciously reinforcing the experience of lack.
Now I am not berating our parents, teachers, governments and spiritual leaders. For the most part, those people and institutions were acting in the best intentions, or what they believed to be the best intentions, reiterating what they themselves were taught.
Unfortunately, the result is that the human race has become very good at thinking negatively about abundance and money, (mostly out of ignorance or a misunderstanding rather than out of malice) but most of us still think negatively about it.
Money beliefs you could have instead
When was the last time you said or thought any of the following about money for example?
- There’s plenty more where that came from
- Of course, there’s more than enough to go round
- Don’t worry, we’ll just buy another one
- Here, you take the extra $50/£50/Euro 50 – it’s only money
- There’s always enough to spare and enough to share
For most of us, the answer is usually ‘almost never’ which is why many of us are suffering from lack of money and abundance, or rather a perceived lack of money or abundance; because most of our thoughts about money are on this ‘lack’ frequency. We know through the law of attraction, that what we think about consistently is what we will attract. So most of us are reinforcing our lack of money with our thoughts and therefore that’s exactly what we get – more ‘lack of money!’
We are constantly undermining our desire for more money with our own negative thoughts about money.
The good thing is, we can all change the way we think about money and align ourselves with more positive feelings in order to manifest more money into our lives.
The 4 steps to attracting more money
Here’s a simple framework to help you shift your energy and invite more financial abundance into your life:
- 1. Consciously notice your thoughts, words and actions about money
- 2. Transform negative patterns about money into positive ones
- 3. Use affirmations, visualisation and positive emotion
- 4. Let go of your attachment and allow money to flow to you (and through you)
Let’s take these one by one:
Step 1: Consciously notice your thoughts, words and actions about money
Start paying close attention to how you feel when money comes up. Do you dread opening bills? Do you feel a tightening in your stomach when checking your bank balance? Some people will know this at a very acute level. Others will only just begin to realise that how they think about money is not always in a positive, anticipatory light.
These feelings and reactions show where your vibration is currently sitting. Becoming aware is the first step to change.
Step 2. Transform negative patterns about money into positive ones
Once you notice a negative thought about money, gently reframe it.
Let’s take a simple example: if you currently believe money is a limited resource, then ask yourself how, as a species, we have managed to not only invent it, but increase the money in our societies with every new sunrise?
Every day we create more money, we interact with each other using more money, the GDPs of almost every country have increased across time because we are the ones creating the money and wealth. It does not exist independently of us. We are the creators.
We are the ones giving money its value, or diamonds for that matter, or gas, or oil, or whatever you choose. If it stopped raining tomorrow, then water would become one of the most sought-after substances on the planet and the ‘value’ we place on it would change overnight.
Money is energy and is designed to flow freely.
For example, if you believe money is limited, remind yourself that:
- We breathe in and out every minute, without ever thinking that we will run out of air – think of money in the same way – it is part of the natural flow of energy
- Good people do good things with good money – focus on all the good and positive things that have been achieved through using money positively
- Every time you pay for something, give thanks to the universe that you have been able to use your money for the things you want and let it go with your love, knowing that you are aiding the flow of money (and energy) from one person to another
.Shift your inner dialogue from “There’s never enough” to “There’s always more on the way.” With practice, this becomes your default vibration.
Step 3. Use affirmations, visualisation and positive emotion
You do not really want ‘stuff’ – you want the feeling that you think the ‘stuff’ will create within you. What most of us fail to remember is that we can have that anytime because we are in charge of creating feelings. It is ultimately only YOU who can create a feeling within YOU.
Engaging in visualisations and affirmations so that you create the vibrational feeling of what you want will cause the universe to answer according to the Law of Attraction.
So close your eyes and imagine what you would do with lots of money if you had it – and I mean LOTS of money.
- What would you buy?
- Who would you help?
- What dreams would you fulfil?
- Where would you go?
- What experiences would you allow yourself to have?
Really go deep into this using every sense you have – what would you see, hear, smell, taste and touch? Make these images big and bright so that you really engage your emotions.

The right and wrong way to do affirmations
Using affirmations is a very effective way to empower your subconscious – like giving it a command – but it must be stated in a positive way, since your subconscious cannot process negative instructions.
Affirmations are also stronger if they are made in the present tense and in the first person – i.e. an affirmation of “I am rich now” is more effective than an affirmation saying, “I am getting better at being rich.” However, you MUST tackle your underlying limiting beliefs about money frist otherwise your affirmation efforts will fail because it will be like trying to reprogram a computer by giving it a handwritten note.
If you find there is resistance there when you think about money, try tapping to get rid of your anxiety until you feel more at ease with your new beliefs.
To be most effective, an affirmation should be repeated, as this will influence your subconscious more. You can also write out your affirmations in a journal which can help too. The most important thing is to FEEL emotions behind the affirmation – use your imagination to create the situation you want and focus on feeling what that would be like.
Here are some affirmations that you can use to help attract money and abundance bearing in mind that ‘abundance’ can mean many things, not just money, but health, energy, vitality and awareness too.

Some suggested affirmations
- I am an unlimited creative being, and I bring light and love to the universe
- Money is always flowing to me and through me
- The more money I have, the more good I can do
- Money comes to me on a regular basis from expected and unexpected sources
- I am excited about the prospect of receiving more money
- I am grateful for all the abundance I have, and I have lots of abundance
- Money is part of my birthright, along with good health and happiness
- Money feels good to me. I can always get money, and I can do great things with it
- My life is abundant in so many ways; money is just one of them
- Money is just another form of positive energy, which we can easily exchange with others
- I exchange money freely and with blessings
- I love my money, and money loves me
As always, feel free to adopt, change or adapt the affirmations to suit yourself and what resonates with you and makes you feel good. Remember it is the feeling you have when you affirm the affirmation that is important – the words are powerless in themselves.
Think and feel abundant = Receive more abundance; Think and feel lack = Receive more lack
Try just closing your eyes and feel your breath moving in and out of your body – without effort, without stress. There is an abundance there; abundance of air, abundance of oxygen, abundance of inner peace if you would just stop the noise and let yourself experience it. You can read my Top 10 tips for making affirmations work here.
Step 4. Let go and allow money to flow to you (and through you)
This is often the hardest step but also the most powerful.
Once you’ve set your intentions and aligned your energy, release the need to control how or when the money arrives. Trust that the universe will do its part and do your part – which is to keep in the vibration of abundance.
- Focus on doing things that bring you joy
- Express gratitude for what you already have
- Stop watching for “signs” or obstacles, this just reinforces your thoughts of lack (i.e. “I still don’t have the money”
Remember, everything you currently have is the result of past thoughts and feelings. You are free to create something new now. The universe responds to your vibration, not your timetable.
As Luke 12:27 beautifully says:
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.”
Let the universe do the heavy lifting. Accept where you are now and anticipate your abundance with every cell in your body.
Important takeaways
- You cannot improve your financial position whilst complaining about the money or lack or money you currently have.
- To quote a famous song: “It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish”. Don’t worry about where you are now, just focus on where you want to be.
- If you want prosperity and abundance, you have to become an emotional and vibrational match to that. If you can feel abundant about anything, anything at all, the universe will respond with abundance. So if you are feeling consistently joyful and happy about your abundance of oxygen, the universe will bring you more abundance, including money.
- Be careful how you describe money – make sure you always have a positive word and thought about it.
- Appreciation is key. Be grateful for what you already have.

Hi, It is a very nice reading. I try to memorize the 4 step about money: 1. positive about money; 2. avoid negative about money; 3; positive affirmations about money; and 4. allow money to follow to me and through me. Very educational. My wife just came to my study and asked me what I am doing. I told her I am working on my website. She always inform me that I work too much and get nothing, since I put all my spare time on my website. But I think by hard working I will be rewarded soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment Anthony. You got it right but you can always bookmark the post so you don’t have to memorise it. Good luck with your website too; all things take a little time and I’m sure your wife is proud of your efforts. All the best. Gail
This article and others like it needs to be read by all. When we learn to change our mindset we can change our lives. I agree one must learn to follow their core beliefs. We all have negative thoughts, doubts, and no confidence in our abilities to accomplish goals. It is when we learn to recognize that negative energy for what it is and let it go. It is not easy, but there are sources out there that can guide you. And the author of this post is one of them.
Thanks Maurice for your kind words and for taking the time to read and reply. I agree that it would be great if more people could understand the links between what we think about and what we create as our life experience. I also believe that the universe will deliver the messages to those who are ready and able to understand it when the time is right too. So I write my posts so that when people are ready, the words are there! Thanks again. Gail
Hi Gail. To be honest I have never thought about money in this way before. I guess I am guilty of negative thoughts to and did not know it, lol. I see the process behind this and I will be looking into it more as I would like more money to flow my way. Thanks for a very interesting read. I just read an article on self-hypnosis and I am now thinking if I can use it to change my thought patterns with what u have suggested. Just a thought. 🙂

Hi Carl. Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a comment. I think many of us are conditioned about money so we don’t think that are attitude towards it is ‘negative’; we just think of it as ‘normal’ but that just keeps us where we are. I have used self-hypnosis for many years to help with many issues in my life and I highly recommend it. It is just another way of controlling and focusing your thoughts and attention. Good luck with your research – you may find that what you need now flows to you easily, the answers you seek will now find you. 🙂
There’s much I can say to this; however, one thing that I believe is that if people were taught money as children, how to budget, how to live contently within their means it would alleviate a lot of negative stereotypes. Again, there’s so much I can say on this topic.
Thanks Lane for your comment and I agree with you about teaching children about money. There is so much focus on learning facts in schools nowadays just so that they can pass exams that we miss many of the important lessons about life such as money, emotional intelligence and tolerance. Wouldn’t it be a great place if we truly believed that our role was to help our children learn how to think rather than what to think. Now that would put the cat among the pigeons for sure! 🙂 Thank you for your time and feel free to come back often with more ideas. Gail
Hello there! I’m a college student and I’m having hard time with my financial aid. I needed more money to supply my needs in my school and for myself. I believe in law of attraction. The more you give the more you receive. This is the thing my parents taught me when I was a kid. Reading your article is very helpful since I want to earn money. These 4 steps of yours are really helpful and interesting. I hope that doing this 4 steps can help me earn more money. Thank you for sharing this information.
Hi John. I’m glad you found the article helpful and I really hope that you can find the financial freedom that you deserve and that is yours (and everyone else’s) birthright. The main thing to remember is that it is the feelings you create around money that are important. Look out into the morning sky and feel abundant, be grateful for everything you have now and more will flow – it is law. Have a wonderful day. Gail
I am not a believer in the law of attraction. There will always be people that will complain about money.
There are 2 types of people really. The broke and the poor.
The broke is one which has been a victim of economic downfall or poor business decisions.
The poor will always stay poor unless there is a change in their mindset of how they view about money.
As a hint buy low sell high is how every business works.
Thanks for commenting on the post Shelvave even though you are not a ‘believer’ as you say. You make some good points about how business works and I agree that ‘buying low and selling high’ is the model that many people have agreed between themselves as to how they will fund themselves through their life. To me, it doesn’t matter if people believe or don’t believe in the law of attraction as I am definitely not in the business of ‘converting’ people. The great thing is that it is working in everyone’s life if they believe it or not, like gravity. We don’t need to believe it in order to stop ourselves from floating off into space. What I also like about your comment is the recognition of how mindset can affect outcome. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I wish you a successful year ahead. Gail
What a very well-written and inspirationally informative article! You give so many sound examples, from the abundance of cells in my body or leaves in the trees, as a parallel to the abundance of money. And your points about how money is something we create and agree to assign value to, is well-taken. Take a look at how nations just print what they need. As long as we all agree the money has value, it does. I love affirming the money and its value in my life,and being thankful for it and for all that I can do with it. Thank you for your words of encouragement!
Hi Annie. Thanks for your kind words and I’m glad that you found the article useful and inspiring as that is my intention with the site. I agree with you that being grateful is one of the keys that allows everything to flow into your experience so looking for the little things is a great way to start and work up to the bigger things. Being consciously aware of your thoughts and feelings towards everything, allows us to analyse what we are doing in relation to the outcomes we are getting. I wish you all the best in your creating and hope you get all that you want in life. Come back anytime to the site as I post regularly on a number of related topics.
Excellent article to reflect on how to view money from the outside. I resonate with your thoughts, because it’s not about money but about how we think and feel about it.
You used some bible verses to make that clear and I think if we “detach” from our money, that’s where freedom begins and happiness starts. And also money starts to flow better. Sounds contradictory, but it’s very true!
Thanks,
Oscar
Thanks for your thoughts Oscar. Glad you found some appeal in it. I have been studying the law of attraction for a while now and what I’m noticing is that ‘allowing’ things in is where a lot of us have difficulty. We can easily focus our thoughts and the universe responds, but like you say, we have to then ‘let it go’ and not worry about it, in order for things to manifest – the old ‘faith’ thing. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Hope you have a great year ahead. Gail
I love this post, thanks for sharing your thoughts in depth on how we should examine our relationship with wealth and abundance. I mean, in abstract, everyone wants to be wealthy but then when you dig a bit deeper, there’s all this fear and morality around money. And, it’s a great reminder that there is UNLIMITED WEALTH out there, and one of the simplest things we can do is be open to attracting it to us.
Thanks Penelope for reading and replying. I agree that there is unlimited wealth and that’s why I wrote the article. I’ve been examining my own mindset towards money and there is always something to learn. I’m also really careful now about what I say or do not say to my children, as I was definitely brought up with the ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ mindset and the morality that rich people don’t go to heaven. It takes a lot of mindfulness to tackle so many years of ingrained thinking, although I know my parents did it with my best interests at heart. Thanks again for your comment and have a wonderful day.
