Money Flows Like Breath: Learning to Receive and Release Abundance
“All the money that you want is available for you to receive. All you have to do is allow it into your experinece.And as the money flows in, you can gently allow it to flow out, for like the air you breathe, there will always be more to flow. You do not have to guard your money (like holding your breath and no letting it out) because...more is coming.” - Abraham-Hicks
Imagine holding your breath and refusing to let it out because you’re afraid there won’t be more air for you. Pretty silly, right? And yet, this is exactly how many of us treat money. We cling, we guard, we worry—forgetting that money, like oxygen, is energy. It’s meant to flow in and out with ease.
Abraham-Hicks reminds us that all the money you want is available for you to receive. The real work isn’t in hustling or stressing—it’s in allowing. Money is not a limited resource set aside for a select few. It’s an infinite current of energy, always circulating, always replenishing, always ready to flow into your life the moment you relax your resistance.
Receiving Without Struggle
Allowing money to flow in means loosening the grip of scarcity thinking. If you believe you have to work harder, fight for it, or “earn” it through struggle, you close the doors on the natural stream of abundance. Instead, what if you shifted your energy into alignment? What if you trusted that opportunities, clients, ideas, and blessings are always lining up for you?
When you breathe in, you don’t force the air into your lungs—you simply allow it. The same goes for receiving money. It comes through inspiration, alignment, and openness, not through fear and control.
Releasing Without Fear
Here’s where most of us get stuck: letting the money go. Spending, giving, or even investing can trigger panic. “What if I don’t have enough?” “What if it doesn’t come back?” But just like holding your breath, clutching onto money blocks the very flow that keeps it circulating.
When you release with trust—paying bills with gratitude, tipping generously, or investing joyfully—you signal to the universe: I trust the flow. I know more is coming. This keeps the current alive and moving, and the more you play in this rhythm, the more abundance finds you.
Shifting From Guarding to Flowing
Guarding your money is like guarding your breath—it disconnects you from the natural rhythm of life. The shift is subtle but powerful:
From fear to trust.
From scarcity to plenty.
From control to flow.
When you treat money as a living, breathing energy, you step into harmony with it. You stop suffocating the flow, and instead, you become part of the dance.
A Practice for Flow
Next time money comes into your life—whether it’s your paycheck, a gift, or a surprise refund—pause and breathe. Inhale deeply, receiving it with gratitude. Then as you spend or release money, exhale fully, trusting that more is on its way. Notice how this simple act changes your relationship with money.
When you let money flow in and out with the same ease as your breath, you discover the truth: there will always be more to flow. Always.
✨ Reflection Question: Where in your life are you holding your financial breath? And how can you soften, trust, and let the flow move freely again?
