The Art of Receiving: How to Unblock Your Money Energy
Life is infinitely abundant. But are you ready to receive it?
You're in good company if you've given selflessly, worked tirelessly, and yet found yourself wondering, "When will it be my turn to receive?" Wondering is one thing, but getting curious when you feel stuck is what truly sparks transformation.

What creates Prosperity Blocks
As The Business Healer, I've guided countless clients through transformational journeys that consistently reveal one powerful truth: the biggest obstacles to creating the life you desire aren't located outside you…they're rooted inside you.
This means that your transformation starts organically once you notice those obstacles and tackle them at the root. When you release internal resistance to receiving, prosperity naturally begins to flow.
Rory’s transformation
When Rory joined my Pathway to Prosperity program, he didn't realize how closed-off to receiving he'd been for decades:
“I’d been giving way too much, always had been. Through Pathway to Prosperity, I realized that I was always giving, giving, giving, and then wondering why I never received.
The reason was because I wasn’t open to receiving. Now, as I open myself up to be willing to receive, it’s more of a two-way street and it’s more comfortable.”
His experience reveals an important insight: being prosperous isn't just about having more. It starts with awareness of your own patterns that prevent you from being willing to receive.
Three signs you're blocking your own abundance
How do you know if you're sabotaging your prosperity? Here are three telltale signs:
1. You feel uncomfortable receiving gifts or compliments. Do you immediately deflect praise or try to reciprocate when someone gives you something? This resistance to receiving small things creates an energetic pattern that blocks all forms of abundance.
2. You believe you must work harder to earn more. If your primary equation is "more effort = more money," you're telling the universe that you aren't open to receiving prosperity through channels that are unexpected or not related to work. This limited mindset keeps abundance flowing in only one restrictive channel.
3. You feel guilty about having more than others. This unconscious belief is worth releasing. Prosperity is NOT a zero-sum game in which your gain means someone else's loss. Test it and gather your own proof by observing how abundance multiplies when shared.

The essential balance of giving and receiving
Just as breathing requires both inhaling and exhaling, receiving isn't selfish—it's essential. My clients discover that prosperity requires both giving AND receiving. Block one, and you jam up the whole channel.
This is fundamentally about money energy—the way financial resources flow through your life. When your money energy is balanced between giving and receiving, abundance circulates freely. When you block the receiving side, the energy becomes stagnant.
But can you really become more open to receiving and improve your money energy?
Leah did! During our program, she committed to practice receiving by setting higher standards for the clients and projects she was ready to welcome into her business. She landed an unexpected $6,000 project, and further reflection revealed that her intentionality had created a steadier revenue pipeline. She called this experience "transformative."
Even more dramatically, take one client who entered my program with significant skepticism:
““Going into Pathway to Prosperity, I had a lot of trepidation. As a very non-reflective, physical person, I was certainly skeptical about some of the more aspirational aspects.
I was incredibly surprised at how thoughtful the individual sessions were and how much I gained from connecting with others throughout the program.””
Then came K.R.’s unexpected result: He received an unexpected $110,000 during the last 3 weeks of the program.
The Seven Prosperity Zones
Money isn't the only area in which you can open up to greater receiving. True prosperity encompasses all of these essential life domains:
Health & Vitality: Greater well-being
Relationships & Community: More supportive connections
Family & Legacy: Generational pattern-breaking
Finances & Resources: Less anxiety & unexpected financial opportunities
Self-Worth & Self-Development: Genuine confidence & greater trust in yourself
Career & Purpose: Deeper connection with your mission & new purpose-aligned opportunities
Time, Energy & Productivity: A new relationship with time, less rushing & more control

As your capacity to receive expands, you'll find yourself:
Attracting opportunities that align with your highest purpose
Experiencing deeper connections in your relationships
Feeling more energized and less depleted

Energy and prosperity healing
Prosperity healing teaches us that money energy flows when we release the myth of exhaustion as effectiveness. Your thoughts are seeds—what you consistently believe about work, worth, and wealth will manifest in your reality.
Key insights for transforming money energy
Prosperity is an internal state, not an external achievement
Rest is a powerful (and underrated) generator of abundance
Your worth is inherent, not earned through struggle
Remember, prosperity healing is about creating alignment between your inner world and outer success. By healing your relationship with work, rest, and worth, you open powerful channels for money energy to flow.
Your thoughts are seeds. Your energy is the soil. Your consistent practice is the water that helps these seeds grow into the abundant life you desire.
