Sacred Money: Why Indigenous Wisdom Holds the Key to Healing Our Relationship with Abundance

Written By Xóchitl Ashe

Traditional earth wisdom teaches us that money is medicine—and our planet desperately needs this ancient healing practice.

For too long, we've been taught that money is the root of all evil. But what if I told you that this belief is actually a colonial wound—one that keeps us trapped in scarcity while our beloved Pachamama suffers from an economic system that treats her as commodity rather than sacred mother?

Indigenous wisdom reveals a different truth: money is energy, and like all energy, it can be medicine or poison depending on how we relate to it.

A Sacred Prayer for Money Abundance

I was called to write this prayer for our times. When the world whispers "lack" and "scarcity," we must remember that Mother Earth always wants her children to have what they need to be loved. She provides for us in every way.

If you've been programmed to believe money is 'evil'...
If you've been taught that abundance is selfish...
If you carry shame around your prosperity...

This prayer is for you.

Pachamama, Great Mother, I call upon you... I remember when wealth was ceremony When abundance flowed like sacred rivers When prosperity meant the whole community thrived

Full Prayer Transcript:

Pachamama, Great Mother, I call upon you... I remember when wealth was ceremony When abundance flowed like sacred rivers When prosperity meant the whole community thrived

I call back the ancient knowing I call back the wisdom in my blood I call back the wisdom that never left

I am ready to receive like the earth receives rain Without question, without resistance, without shame I am ready to give like the tree gives fruit Generously, naturally, in perfect timing

Pachamama, teach me your ways... Show me abundance that serves all life Guide me to wealth that honors the sacred Let my abundance be my prayer Let my prosperity be my medicine Let my wealth be my offering to the world

I release what no longer serves I embrace what my soul has always known I trust the ancient flow

Money moves through me like sacred water Resources come to me like gifts from the earth Abundance seeks me because I am worthy

I remember my birthright I activate my lineage codes I step into sacred prosperity

By the grace of Pachamama and all who guide me... I reclaim my relationship with wealth. Ayni. Sacred reciprocity. Divine flow. And so it is…


When Money Becomes Medicine

I've noticed something beautiful happens when we start treating financial abundance as sacred responsibility rather than guilty pleasure. Our indigenous ancestors understood this. Many of our lineages carry both the trauma of economic oppression and the medicine of generous giving.

You probably feel it in your body when you think about money. That tightness in your chest, the stories that play on repeat: "There's not enough," "I don't deserve this," "Money will corrupt me."

These beliefs live in our nervous systems now, passed down through generations who survived by believing that wanting more was dangerous.

But abundance is actually our birthright. The earth provides endlessly. Rivers don't apologize for flowing. Trees don't feel guilty for bearing fruit year after year.
