How to Attract Money: 9 Vibrational Methods

Could you use a little more money in your life? I totally get it. While money isn't a cure-all, having enough can definitely make life a little easier and more pleasant. Whether it's just to give you a bit more breathing room or because you have some goals you'd like to reach, if you'd like to pump up your prosperity, try one or more of these methods for how to attract money.

I'm a huge fan of affirmations as a way of bringing positive energy into your life. There's a formula I  teach my energy healing clients: intention + attention = manifestation. And affirmations are a great way of combining intention with attention so you can manifest. I like to repeat affirmations first thing in the morning and again just before I go to sleep. You can speak these, write them, or even just think them as a mantra as you focus on your breath. Try these money affirmations:

• I give thanks that I am abundant in all things.
• I am grateful that I am a magnet for money.
• I am prosperous in all ways.
• I have all the money I need to live comfortably and help others.
• Money flows to me easily and quickly.

You can do a thousand affirmations, but if your moment-to-moment thoughts are the opposite of your affirmations, you'll never get a clear message out to the universe. So if every time you get a bill, you think, "I can't pay this," or you spend all day worrying about how you're going to afford things, then it won't matter how many times you affirm you're prosperous because your thoughts and actions are still of someone who isn't.

Not to worry — I have a great set of tools.

1. First, take a few moments to visualize having the financial means you seek. Really let yourself get into it until you feel overjoyed, grateful, and excited. 
2. When you're at the height of positive emotion, make a gesture you don't usually make (I hold the tip of my thumb to the tip of my middle finger in an "ok" sign) and hold it until the feeling starts to subside. 
3. The instant the feeling starts to subside, release the gesture. 
4. Now, pay attention to your thoughts about money and abundance. Every time you notice you're having a negative thought about money, quickly make your gesture (so I briefly tap my thumb and middle finger together). It will interrupt the flow and bring the positive feelings associated with your visualization back instead.

In feng shui, one sector of your home or office supports the energy of prosperity and abundance. Dress up your "money corner" with a few feng shui items to help bring the energy of abundance into your spaces.

Citrine is the crystal most closely associated with abundance and wealth. Place one in your money corner, keep one in your wallet, or if you own a business, keep one where you collect payments. 

Some essential oils are a vibrational match for prosperity. Diffusing these oils in your spaces can help create the vibration for abundance. Try one of these:

• Bergamot
• Ylang ylang
• Rosemary

Being in a mindset of gratitude sends a message to the universe that you know you have already received prosperity, even if it hasn't quite reached you yet. In other words, the universe delivers because you ask; it just takes a while for it to get to you, but you might as well be grateful now. That's why some of the affirmations above are written as "I'm thankful" affirmations. 

1. Start by listing the things you have currently in your life that you're grateful for. List each one as, "I'm thankful for...(thing)," or "I'm grateful for... (thing)." With each, truly try to feel that gratitude. It can be tiny things or large things.
2. Let the gratitude flow through you. When it does, repeat or write, "I'm grateful that I am abundant in all things." Continue repeating that mantra for several repetitions.

This simple guided meditation can also help magnetize you to money. Do it daily. It should take 5-10 minutes and can be part of a larger meditation or done by itself.

1. Sit or lie comfortably and close your eyes.
2. Find your breath and breathe in and out without trying to change your breathing.
3. Now, bring your attention to the center of your chest, which is your heart chakra. Imagine your breath flowing in and out through this area.
4. Continue breathing through your heart chakra for a few minutes.
5. Now, visualize how you will feel when you're prosperous. Allow that feeling to flow into your heart chakra and throughout your body with every heartbeat.
6. Allow the feeling to expand outward into the energy surrounding your body, magnetizing money to you.
7. See money flowing to you towards your magnetic field.
8. Express your gratitude and open your eyes when you're ready.

I'm a big believer that the universe can deliver far better things to me than I can imagine with my tiny human brain. So, I try not to be ultra-specific when I'm manifesting something. Look at it this way... say you're trying to manifest $10,000 for a vacation. Great! So, you focus on the $10,000. So far, so good. But what if the universe was going to bring $50K your way, but you limited it to $10K?

So, instead, keep your manifestation broad. That's why I like things like, "I give thanks that I am abundant." Then, let the universe decide on the amount.

Many people get caught up in limited thinking, so they try to control how the universe delivers prosperity to them — for instance, they focus on winning the lottery or receiving an inheritance. But the universe can deliver in surprising ways.

For example, we had some repairs to do in our house, and I wanted to manifest some money, so I didn't have to break into savings. But I didn't focus on how it might come to us. Within a few days, I received a check for about $6K in the mail as part of a settlement from a lawsuit I didn't even realize I was part of. I made sure it was legit (it was), deposited the check, and paid for my repairs. It was out-of-the-blue money that I had no idea was even a possibility. Cool, huh? I've had money come to me in similar ways many times, so I know this works, and it's a great example of why you should never limit the universe. 

I've used each of these tricks to manifest money in my life, and they've worked well for me and for many of my clients and students, too. So, if you want to attract more money into your life, give one or more of these a try and change your mindset about prosperity.
