Growing Abundance & Conscious Spending by Yantara Jiro

Spend with awareness, not worry. Circulate abundance with courage.

Radiant All,

I find this is an interesting topic as it keeps popping up in my mind, so I embrace this as a sign for me to write. May this sharing empower you as much as it had for me.

April brings a strong movement of renewal ~ an energy that pushes us to take action, refresh our lives, an urge to spend more, or the feeling of needing to spend more arising. Not sure about you, but I am feeling this myself! 

This surge of yang energy is emerging from winter through the trees and blossoming into flowers. I see this as an exchange of energy circulating from within to without.

As this vibration rises, many people may feel both excitement and pressure around money.

You might notice yourself wanting to buy something new, invest in a project, or treat yourself during this beautiful spring season. But with that impulse also comes the awareness of “spending more than usual.”

This is not a bad thing ~ it is an opportunity to learn how to move with flow. Money is a form of grounding energy. How we spend, receive, or hold it mirrors our inner state of trust and abundance.

In the Sigalovada Sutta, Shakyamuni Buddha advice on protecting and managing wealth to avoid squandering and foster security.

Buddha teaches on avoiding six ways of wasting money (intoxication, late-night roaming, partying, gambling, bad friends, laziness) and dividing earnings into four parts: one for enjoyment, two for business/investment, and one saved for emergencies. This creates a foundation of prosperity.

Wealth enables generosity, which purifies greed, builds positive karma, and leads to heavenly rebirths or better conditions for practice, therefore "through generosity, one gains wealth."

Turning Spending into Conscious Flow

When you spend money, do it with clarity, courage and appreciation. 

Visualisation: Before paying for anything, pause for a moment. Take a mindful breath. Imagine your money glowing with golden light as you use it ~ filling the world with blessings and returning to you in new, abundant forms. (Offering your merits to let it multiple)

By shifting your perspective, spending becomes a joyful energy exchange rather than a drain.

Switch-On Growth thoughts:

• “I am circulating prosperity for all.”

• “I spend it with gratitude and awareness.”

• “This payment supports growth, joy, and service.”

Money moves where consciousness directs it. When we guide it with positive intention, it becomes a force for good. Feel it within you as truth that the Universe is the one who is handling all payments and offerings.

Why do people experience Money Blocks?

Even among spiritual practitioners, money blocks are common. Without a doubt, I used to experience this too. These usually stem from unexamined beliefs such as:

• “Spiritual work should not involve wealth.”

• “Money takes me away from my inner path.”

• “Charging for my service is unspiritual.”

Such beliefs create inner conflict, separating the divine from matter. But in truth, both are one flow. For the layperson, rejecting money often means unconsciously rejecting life’s natural support system. I am not suggesting to overlook the potential of greed arising, we must still be aware of our unresolved lack whenever it arises.

Money itself is not the root of greed ~ attachment and the lack of wisdom to use it is. When we align money with wisdom, compassion, and purpose, it becomes sacred energy that moves mountains and uplifts humanity. We are able to help protect forests, support a good cause and even people around us.

We do not need to offer or donate a large amount in-order for it to consider as a meaningful help. Even a dollar, a drink treat, a small gift, or a small word of encouragement can be precious and a blessing for somebody.

Money as a Sacred Exchange

I have shared this teaching on many occasions:

When we provide service, it should always be spiritual inside and business outside, not the reverse.

When participants join workshops or retreats, they are not buying our knowledge ~ it cannot be bought. Their offerings, in the form of money, are a way of supporting. They help the teacher or practitioner continue cultivating wisdom and developing skills so that participants may learn faster and avoid unnecessary struggle.

This understanding turns money from a transaction into an offering of gratitude and empowerment.

Staying Wise and Creative

Our world is changing rapidly. Technologies evolve, markets shift, and lifestyles transform. These changes invite us to stay alert, flexible, and creative.

Keep investing in yourself ~ learn, upgrade, and refine your Art of living. Continue to cultivate your energy, courage, and awareness.

The abundance that I have received throughout my years of spiritual work has always been reinvested into upgrading my knowledge, learning new skills, improving my health, and sourcing for new ways to accelerate growth and provide better quality experiences and transmissions. I believe those who have been following my work over the years would have noticed my humble upgrades and improvement in my offerings.

When we spend and invest consciously, we turn money into the energy that ground ideas into reality, supporting our growth, helping others, and nurturing a continuous flow of abundance.

Feel this beautiful April reminds us all: Money is not meant to bind you, but to move through you ~ generously, wisely, and courageously.

Let it help you grow and embrace the Universe to empower you abundantly in all aspects of your life. May you, having read this article, this teaching, bless you immensely with abundance of wisdom, compassion and financial wealth.

Love,
