Talking to Money
Have you talked to Money lately? How has your new relationship with Money progressed?
Many recent subscribers are not aware of the life-changing, transformational Abundance project I began after discovering the work of Morgana Rae. I forget that my journal Hornets and Honey Bees: How I Married New Money is not actually online — only excerpts and updates from time to time.
If you haven’t already, catch up on — or engage in a refresher of — the other Money | Abundance Writing exercises posted on Shift Your Spirits. Here’s a recap of the relevant links:
Money Manifesting Exercises
Abundance Meditations | Dialogs with Money
- If Money Was a Person, Who Would Money Be?
- Your Meaningful Money Makeover
- Financial Alchemy — the original article by guest author Morgana Rae

You may also wish to visit my more recent journal excerpt, Paper Money Airplane. Incidentally, during my last visit to the lavatory on the long plane flight to Hawaii, someone had left a “million dollar” bill beside the sink. This bill has since been added to my altar alongside my paper money airplane. I’ve started a collection of magical money and pennies from heaven.
When I was in Kona for the Angel Therapy® Practitioners Workshop, Doreen Virtue took us through a guided meditation to release any vows of poverty we may have made in this or other lifetimes — significantly, this took place on 11/11, and in conjunction with a Full Moon.
Personalized, Private Abundance Clearing | Healing Sessions
Two decades ago, while in college, my friend Lance taught us his Cajun grandmother’s Full Moon Money Spell, which I will save for another update. If you are interested in an angelic clearing session surrounding your relationship with Money, as well as learning the additional rituals I use, this would be perfectly suited to a phone consultation.
Doreen also shared her own version of this powerful dialoging exercise. Note: These concepts have come to me through others, and I have both Doreen’s and Morgana’s blessings to teach them to others. You may also consider performing these exercises in conjunction with my own spirit dialoguing and automatic writing techniques, substituting a coin or other form of paper currency for the power object in the guided attunement.
Doreen Virtue’s Money Dialog
You can use a paper bill of any denomination and/or national currency to focus the exercise. The amount is not important — the physical representation is.
(The vast majority of Shift Your Spirits readers live in countries where paper money bears human portraits, which is certainly significant considering we are relating to the personification of Money. Because Abundance for me personally is also represented by a honey bee, I can’t help but think of the gorgeous, colorful Dutch bill with a large yellow sunflower and a honey bee watermark…)
Three Questions to Ask During Your Meditation | Journaling Exercise
- Money, how do I really feel about you?
- Money, what can I do to have more of you in my life?
- Money, what else would you like to tell me at this time?
Be sure to thank Money for the conversation.
Again, you may wish to use the timed writing constraints in Automatic Intuitive Response, or simply write as much information as you receive.
Your turn — what did Money say to you?
You may wish to do this exercise now, before reading my own responses in the diary entry below. If you feel moved to, and if you have a blog of your own, create your own post and link back here so we can all check it out. Or feel free to share your own conversation with Money in the comments below.
Slade’s Conversation with Money — 11/11/2008, Kona, Hawaii
Money, how do I really feel about you?
You feel judged.
Money, what can I do to have more of you in my life?
You need to play harder, be Bigger, shine brighter, and by all means stop apologizing for your relationship with me.
Money, what else would you like to tell me at this time?
I’m always waiting for you. I’d always like to see more of you. Stop putting off our time together. You can’t need me and then reschedule me — keeping asking me to come back when you’re ready, when you’re worthy, when you know how to be with me in some imagined “perfect” state. You will learn about me through having me in your life — not by thinking about me.

What a challenge for this week, Mr Roberson!
Do you know my therapist??? Certainly sounds like you’ve conferred.
How interesting–I was just thinking about relationships with Money today. This is for a very silly reason: I saw a commercial on TV in which three of the men from American currency (one was Abraham Lincoln, one was Benjamin Franklin, but I didn’t recognize the third… which is probably a bad sign) are waiting in a mechanic’s office with a man, talking to him and sympathizing with him about his bill.
I will have to try that exercise…
Love this post and the other links. At Christmas I also started a collection of ‘magical money’ or ‘pennies from heaven’. I write down when and where the money was found, put it into a special jar and have the intention of donating an equivalent amount to charity. The pennies (quite literally, UK pennies + 1 Euro cent + 1 Turkish 50c coin) have been showing up every few days in some unusual places. And I’ve also had a couple of pieces of work turn up that I wasn’t expecting. It’s very important I think to take heed, show gratitude and thank the Universe for any unexpected benefits.
[...] I’m off to a fine start but I’d like to feel lighter and more on top of things than I often do. I’m not reading as many blog posts as I’d like to but for some reason I did read this one about our relationship with money, by Slade Roberson. I did the exercise yesterday and was hit with a powerful realization just this morning. [...]
To speak to money as the spirit it has is an innovative way to reconnect to love. People often treat money based on how they project their fears. This is a human thing. To reconnect to spirit enables people to work to transcend fear.
Hi Slade,
I see that you’ve placed a comment on my post regarding your post before I could even comment here. Interestingly yesterday I had a powerful conversation with money that exposed our love-hate relationship. It was quite shocking since I thought I had done most of that work already. Layers upon layers man!
When I asked this question. “Money, what can I do to have more of you in my life?”
Money responded by suggesting that I respect Money in all ways, big and small.
Money also told me that doubling my income will be no problem this year!
Thanks Slade for the valuable resources.
One of the things that has had a huge impact on my life in the past couple of years is a complete re-wiring of my relationship with money and it just keeps getting better and better.
It is amazing what happens when we cut ourselves off from society’s views of things and come up with our own in terms of what makes sense - just amazing things happen!
Money, how do I really feel about you?
“You feel as if you’re not good enough to have a relationship with me.”
Money, what can I do to have more of you in my life?
“Be your authentic self, write, share, be an open flower sharing its fragrance, its beauty and its pollen.”
Money, what else would you like to tell me at this time?
“That I love you, and that I want to be with you as much as you want to be with me. Just let me in, I’m knocking at the door.”
Wonderful exercise. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love Morgana’s Financial Alchemy. It was especially interesting to read your take and your own conversation with your money. Since I’ve been having conversations with my money I’ve really started to make tremendous strides forward, and made changes in my life that will benefit me and my money for a long time!
