growing up money was always a sore point in not just our family – but across Jamaica. looking back now i realise i had a very toxic love-hate relationship with money. when i had it – i was happy & grateful because then i could do all the things i wanted to do. but when i didn’t have it, or enough of it – i would eventually fall into depression, curse its existence & ask every day “WHY DO I NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY? WHY IS MONEY NOT COMING TO ME?”
my first introduction to the idea that MONEY IS LOVE came from a book i read last year as i was on the brink of bankruptcy, walking away from a business partnership, a marriage & had no clue what i wanted to do with my life or even how i would support myself going forward. the book is aptly called “Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money” by Barbara Wilder.

this book opened my eyes to so much as it relates to money & i highly suggest EVERYONE reads it!
the idea that MONEY IS LOVE stems from the universal law that EVERYTHING IS ENERGY & ENERGY IS EVERYTHING! simply put – we see money only as the physical notes/coins in our hands or the digits in our bank accounts/digital wallets however money is also ENERGY, & love is energy so therefore the idea that MONEY IS LOVE is not very farfetched!
the first & most important love is of course SELF-LOVE - & having money freedom gives us the ability to afford ourselves some experiences that are rooted in self-love.
with money freedom we can:
invest in the healthy foods that our physical vessels thrive on
invest in opportunities that are for our personal development, growth & expansion
invest in experiences that bring our souls deep joy
invest in freeing up our time – our MOST VALUABLE ASSET – to be able to do the things that we truly love
invest in even more opportunities that keep the energy of money flowing in & out of our lives
redefining my relationship with money has been & is still a very challenging journey – almost every day there is something new that i discover that needs some work. with the help of Master Sri Akarshana (MSA) & the IAV community – this journey has been even more enlightening. money mindset classes by MSA are some of my favorites – i learn so much & ultimately find myself elevating my money mindset in ways i never would’ve expected based on how i was raised in Jamaica.
in this “MONEY is LOVE” category i will share some of the knowledge that I’ve gained over the past year of being in this community – along with gems i’ve picked up along the way from other sources as well.
what is your relationship with money? how do you feel about this idea that MONEY is LOVE?
