How to Attract Money: 5 Simple Practices That Actually Work

Discover 5 simple, powerful practices to attract more money — from shifting your money mindset to easy daily rituals that build wealth.

Before we get into details about how to attract money, consider this:

More than any other human belonging, money appears and behaves like energy.

Actual physical money is made of paper and metal, and that paper or metal is not especially valuable in and of itself, but rather is valued for the currency that it symbolizes. And money in our bank account is an intangible number with no physical properties at all.

But at the same time, money provides for all our physical needs. It’s an idea or concept of value that we’ve all agreed upon. Without that agreement – that a dollar is valuable and a certain number of dollars can pay the rent or buy groceries – money would not have value. (Even gold has nothing but an agreed-upon value: it’s just a pretty metal that reminds us of the sun.)

As vital as money is to modern life, it is actually a pretty ethereal and woo-woo thing when you think about it.

When you consider money as energy, or as a concept, imagine how powerful it can be to consciously shift your energy and change your concept around money. I find it amazing just how quickly I can begin to call more money into my life experience exclusively by doing just that.

Now, let’s get to those five practices that will attract more money into your life. I make that claim confidently because these money manifestation secrets have worked for me over and over and over again.

But there’s no need to take my word for it! Try them out for yourself. (And then remember to come back and let me know what happens in the comments.)

Money Attraction Secret #1: Be Mindful of Money

Too often, magical and alternative spiritual teachings seem to promote money mindlessness. They imply that you should throw caution to the wind and spend with gleeful abandon. This, my friends, is not wise.

Instead, honor your money. Keep an eye on it and don’t waste it. Notice what you spend it on. Notice where it comes from. Look for deals. Wait for sales. Don’t buy stuff you don’t actually want or need. Have some degree of organization with your money management. Create a budget or do your finances weekly or monthly. Look at your bank statements and credit card charges every month and make sure you recognize all of them.

Money is energy, yes, but it’s also practical. It’s related to every aspect of your real world well-being. Your responsibility around money shows that you respect it. A respectful relationship is the only kind that is mutually beneficial.

Treat yourself to luxuries, sure, but never mindlessly. It would be reckless to unnecessarily place yourself in a position of worry around money. Instead, cultivate a sense of calm around it. This will lend itself to the grounded vibration that will help you steadily attract more and more money over time.

Money Attraction Secret #2: Clear Your Clutter

“Tess, you always tell us to clear clutter. To hear you tell it, clutter clearing is the cure for everything!”

Well, my dear grumpy, imaginary reader, what if it is the cure for everything? And that’s why I’m always telling you to do it? Look, I’m not trying to come up with flashy new content here. I’m just telling you what works.

And what works is clutter clearing.

Here’s how clutter clearing works when it comes to attracting wealth:

Stuff holds energy. When you let go of the stuff you don’t love, use, or need, you’re improving your vibration, which makes you more magnetic to the energy of money. You’re also creating a vacuum for wonderful, fresh new stuff (including money and other fundamental resources) to flow into your life experience. Ok? Ok.

Money Attraction Secret #3: Receive Fully

In The Trance of Scarcity, Victoria Castle writes, “If we receive fully, gratitude follows naturally…Gratitude deepens the pleasure of receiving and makes us eager to accept more and more good things into our lives.”

I love how she defines gratitude as a natural side effect of being receptive. Because it’s true that an attitude of gratitude is an excellent way to increase your money magnetism. But all too often, the command to “be grateful” can come across as a way of guilting us. Like, “What’s wrong with you! You should be grateful!” As in, “Stop complaining about your [possibly very real] problems!”

Instead, as Victoria Castle recommends, consider that we naturally feel grateful when we allow ourselves to receive. Then, gratitude stops being an airy-fairy spiritual platitude and becomes something very real: enjoyment of the luxury that already surrounds us.

How do we allow ourselves to receive? We slow dow and notice our breathing. We notice the way our body feels and listen to the subtle sounds around us. Maybe we bake cookies and savor them. Perhaps we look at the way the light dances across the surface of a lake. Or we could light a stick of incense and enjoy its scent.

And when someone offers us something? A compliment, a meal, a bouquet? We smile, take a deep breath, and say thank you. In other words, we receive it. Fully.

We might not do these things all the time, but we try to. As we practice, we get better at it.

Eventually, receptivity becomes a habit. And so does gratitude. And then, hey! More cash starts flowing in.

Money Attraction Secret #4: Believe in an Abundant Universe

I love this passage from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron:

[Note: feel free to mentally replace the word “God” with “Universe,” “Spirit,” “Goddess,” or whatever you like.]

‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all things will be added to it,’ we have been told, often since childhood, by people quoting from the Bible. We don’t believe this. And we certainly don’t believe it about art. Maybe God would feed and clothe us, in a pinch, but painting supplies? A museum tour of Europe, dance classes? God’s not about to spring for those, we tell ourselves. We cling to our financial concerns as a way to avoid not only our art but also our spiritual growth. Our faith is in the dollar. ‘I have to keep a roof over my head,’ we say. ‘Nobody’s going to pay me to be more creative.’

We are awfully sure about that. Most of us harbor a secret belief that work has to be work and not play, that anything we really want to do – like write, act, dance – must be considered frivolous and placed a distant second. This is not true.

We are operating out of the toxic old idea that God’s will for us and our will for us are at opposite ends of the table. ‘I want to be an actress, but God wants me to wait tables in hash joints,’ the scenario goes. ‘So if I try to be an actress, I will end up slinging hash.’

Thinking like this is grounded in the idea that God is a stern parent with very rigid ideas about what’s appropriate for us. And you’d better believe we won’t like them. This stunted god concept needs alteration.”

I believe we are so powerful, our concept of the Divine actually defines our experience of the Divine. In other words, if we think the Divine wants to send us on a tour of Europe – I mean, if we really believe it – then it is so.

We can use hypothetical questions to shift our concept of the Divine by saying to ourselves, “What if the Universe wants me to be happy? What if the Universe wants me to spend every day doing things I love, and all the while also wants to send lots and lots and lots of money my way? What would that look like? How would it feel?”

…And then we can step into the feeling, and then the vibration, and then the reality. Because that’s how magic works, y’all.
