Neville Goddard says live as though what you want is already true. A lot of manifestation coaches repeat this advice and suggest you spend the money and trust more will come.
I wrote an article called Making Do With What You Have which actually recommends the opposite.
It really depends on your current state and your relationship to energy.
Sometimes, you will have the opportunity to sit on a pile of money and feel secure. But if you hold onto it too tightly, the universe will ask you to spend it. If you don’t listen, the universe will force you to spend it!
Should you be saving or should you be spending? Sometimes it’s one and sometimes it’s the other. But how do you know when you’re supposed to do what?
Let’s start here - what is a savings account? I mean from an energetic perspective, do you know?
In the 3D savings are security for yourself and your family. If some unexpected cost comes up, you already have the money in the bank and you don’t need to miraculously manifest them money to solve the new problem. If you had a life of insecurity, these savings can help you build up that safety and trust with the divine universe and help you feel secure.
But if you’re on the dolphin abundance timeline, you’re going to manifest and manifest and manifest until your savings far exceed any potential emergency you might face and here is where you might run into trouble.
If you are manifesting more and more but you’re holding too tightly onto what you have, you’re going to choke out the flow of money. There’s a good chance that you become disconnected from the money that you have and you begin to hoard it as an egoic symbol. You’re might become too attached to your savings as an idea, and not as a practical solution. At this point money stops being a tool and becomes simply a stagnant energy.
It’s important to remember that having money never keeps it from anyone else. They print money all day long and true abundance is infinite. But when you hoard money, you are keeping a large amount of energy locked up - not really from other people, but more so, from yourself.
At this point you might be called to share some of your abundance or spend more than you’re comfortable spending. This experience is here as a reflection for you to see how tightly you’re holding onto your money.
We’re each responsible for our direct connection to the abundance that flows. So, when you hold on too tightly to money even if you’re called to share it or use it, you are telling the universe that you don’t trust the flow of abundance.
Trusting that the universe will provide allows the universe to provide!
Having good credit, no debt, and a solid savings accounts are great things to manifest. These things can provide a lot of security for you and your family. But it’s important to know when you’ve accomplished what you set out to accomplish.
If you had the safety of three months of your finances covered, would you feel secure? Six months? A year? If you don’t feel secure at this moment, these numbers will not mean much. A year’s savings will eventually feel the same as what a month’s worth of savings used to feel like.
It’s important to use your intuition and constantly check in with your feelings about money no matter how much or how little you have right now. How safe do you feel spending your last dollar? Would you trust the universe to send you what you need?
But WAIT -
If none of this made any sense, you might be imbalanced on the other end of the spectrum. Are you more comfortable spending your last dollar? Are you more comfortable without savings? Do you feel like you can’t hold onto what you have?
If so, read Making Do With What You Have again.
Money is energy and energy loves balance! Don’t hold on too tightly and don’t let it slip through your fingers too fast. Feel it as it flows, and enjoy every drop!
