Can I Let Money In?

3 Truths About Being Able to Receive Without Fear

You can fight, you can work, you can hustle yourself to exhaustion - but receiving? Letting money come to you without immediately pushing it away, spending it, or sabotaging it? That's the hardest thing of all. Because receiving means you have to trust it will stay. That you're allowed to have it. That good things don't always get taken away. And every wound you carry around money screams that this isn't safe - that if you let it in, you'll lose it. That if you have too much, something bad will happen. That abundance is for other people, not you.

Here are 3 Soul Sparks for learning to receive money without fear and finally breaking the cycle of lack.

SOUL SPARK #1

How can I feel safe receiving abundance without expecting it all to disappear again?

You start by acknowledging that the expectation of loss is a trauma response - not a prophecy. You've lost things before. Money came and went. Security was taken away. So your nervous system learned that having abundance is temporary, dangerous, something you can't trust. Feeling safe receiving means you have to slowly teach your body that this time is different. That you're not the same person who lost everything. That you have skills, resources, resilience you didn't have before. You practice receiving in small amounts - letting someone pay for your meal, accepting a gift without deflecting, keeping money instead of immediately spending it. And each time you receive without catastrophe following, you're proving to your system that it's safe. That abundance doesn't mean impending loss. That you can have good things and keep them. The expectation of loss will fade when you stop living like it's inevitable and start living like you're allowed to have what you have. Not because you earned it or deserve it - but because it's here, and you're choosing to let it stay.

SOUL SPARK #2

What are concrete steps for breaking the cycle of lack and creating lasting abundance?

You break the cycle by addressing the root - not just the symptoms. Concrete steps start with your nervous system, not your bank account. You regulate your anxiety around money so you're not making decisions from panic. You track your money so you're not operating in financial fog. You create stability - even if it's small - so your system has proof that you're not in crisis anymore. You stop the leak - the overspending to numb, the under-earning to stay small, the giving it all away to prove you're generous. You set boundaries around how you relate to money - no more lending what you can't afford to lose, no more saying yes to projects that drain you, no more undercharging to be liked. And you build capacity to hold more - not just financially, but emotionally. You practice feeling abundant without immediately collapsing into fear. You let yourself want things without guilt. You receive without needing to reciprocate instantly. Breaking the cycle isn't about manifesting or affirmations - it's about healing the wound that keeps recreating lack even when abundance is available.

SOUL SPARK #3

How are my money wounds tied to my fear of being seen or valued?

They're inseparable. Money wounds are visibility wounds. Because having money means you're seen - and being seen means you're vulnerable to judgment, criticism, envy, attack. You learned that staying small, staying broke, staying invisible kept you safe from being targeted. That if you didn't have much, people couldn't take from you, resent you, use you. So you kept yourself in lack to stay under the radar. And the fear of being valued? That's tied to the belief that if people see your worth, they'll expect more from you than you can give. That being valued means you have to perform, to prove, to maintain an image you can't sustain. So you undervalue yourself, undercharge, stay small - because being invisible feels safer than being seen and having to live up to the visibility. But here's the truth - your worth doesn't increase with visibility. You were always valuable. The money just makes it visible to others. And you hiding your value doesn't protect you - it just keeps you stuck. Healing money wounds means you're willing to be seen, to be valued, to let people know what you're worth - and trust that you can handle whatever comes with that.

Every time you receive without immediately giving it away, take concrete steps to stabilize your finances, and let yourself be seen without shrinking - you're breaking the cycle. This is abundance work, and if you're ready to stop living in lack and finally feel safe receiving, this is what we do in MONEY WOUNDS - where you'll heal the fear of receiving, build capacity for abundance, and learn that you're allowed to have what you want.
