In this guided meditation, Mary Schiller challenges the common cultural belief that people must work for money and instead proposes that money is an abundant, supportive resource that can be consciously accessed like air. She recounts how she once viewed money as a scarce goal, critiques the industrial‑age mindset that still shapes modern work, and invites listeners to shift their perception by visualizing a secure, loving space—using imagery of floating on a lake and breathing fresh air—to feel money’s limitless, supportive energy. Through repeated affirmations and relaxation cues, she encourages listeners to release fear, mistrust, and scarcity thoughts, and to experience money as a source of effortless abundance that can be tapped into at any time for personal creation and freedom.

Hello there, this is Mary Schiller. The point of this talk today is to give you a new experience of something, to start you looking at a topic in a different way. And the topic for this particular talk is this: money is here for you.
Money is here for you. Money is here to be of service to you. Money is here to be of service to you. Most people, particularly in Western culture, go through life believing the opposite. They believe that they have to live in service of money.
I totally get this because this is the way that I used to see things too.
It used to really look to me like my entire life needed to be focused around how can I get money, how can I go get more money, where do I have to search for it, where is money hiding out, why is it staying so invisible to me. Most people in most cultures spend their entire lives working at something that they don't really love doing in order to get money so that then they can do what they want.
This seems so normal to us that we don't even stop to consider if it's true.
We never even consider whether or not there's another way to be with money. I know for myself, it was impossible for me to see things another way because I had never been exposed to any other view of money other than you have to work for it. And mostly you have to do work that you don't like all that much. You might like some aspects of it, but It's not your dream life. You're not waking up every day feeling like the luckiest person in the world because you get to go do the thing you want to do. That lifestyle seems reserved for a very select few people. And most of us who hadn't been living that kind of life look at those people askance, right? Like, oh, they must have an in somewhere, or they're extraordinarily talented in some way. That's why they're able to do what they want to do. And get paid well for it. We dismiss that idea almost completely, and our culture is designed to keep us in this very, very narrow view of money and how we are supposed to bring it into our life. Those old notions are literally that— they are old notions from a time when the Industrial Age was forcing people into factories and into time schedules to suit the boss and the company owner, not to actually work with the way human beings are designed, because that wouldn't be convenient, now would it? Could— can't keep track of people that way. Yet we who have more choice now continue to put ourselves in those boxes. We continue to live in a cubicle or factory conveyor belt mentality when we don't have to. We continue to work in service of money instead of asking ourselves, Is money really in service to me? Is money here for me? What if that is actually true? What is a resource that is in your life every single day that you never have to think about? You just never ever think about it. Well, one is air. When you and I walk through our day, we are not thinking, oh my gosh, what do I have to do to get more air? What kind of job do I have to go find so I can have enough air? That sounds preposterous, right? Because air is everywhere and we don't have to think about it. We just breathe in and there it is. It's literally never on our minds unless we are ill or something and are having trouble breathing. What if money is the same? What if there is an endless amount of money available to you and it's in service of you? It is there for you to breathe in whenever you like, whenever you need to, to fill your energetic capacity, to do with as you want to, to do with as you need to. I'm sure that you would agree with me that there is no end to the amount of money that exists. We can't put an end number on that. We have examples of that everywhere in the world of people who have billions and billions. Maybe there's a trillionaire somewhere by now, I don't know, but there is no cap There is no end to the supply of money, yet you and I often behave as if there is. We don't see money as an infinite resource. We see it as something that we have to grab and hold on to and hoard until somehow we feel more secure We're reluctant oftentimes to spend it because it feels like this thing that is never going to return to us. We certainly don't have the experience of it like I just described air, where we can simply breathe it in, use it for what we need, and then exhale and let some of it go. That's not the experience that most people have about money, but it's one that you can have starting today. I want you to think about something in your life other than air where you feel absolute security. There isn't a hint of doubt in your mind that this particular area of your life is completely and utterly perfectly fine and wonderful. This could be anything. Could be a relationship with someone. It could be the way that you feel about your physical self. It could be absolutely anything. It could be a memory that you have, but some area of your life where when it comes to mind, all you feel is goodness. All you feel is a sense of love, of beauty, of perfection. That's not to say there might not have been a couple of ripples along the way. Overall though, it's a place where you can go within yourself that feels so safe, there are no words to describe that safety.
Are you there now? Are you in that space of the ultimate security and love and freedom and perfection and joy.
Now I want you to imagine your physical self in that secure space, and in that secure space You can feel yourself relaxing.
Your shoulders are coming down from your ears, and you might have the sensation that you can just lie back, and there is such a tremendously powerful feeling of support that is gentle and kind. You may have a sensation of floating, like you are in some beautiful natural place, like a lake, and you can feel yourself in the cooling water, and you're lying back and you just float on this gorgeous lake, and the sun is just alighting your face enough to feel a subtle warmth. You might hear the sound of the water moving gently and a little bit of breeze in the trees, maybe a bird chirping now and then, and you feel so relaxed and supported and free, like there is nothing in the world that could ever interrupt this feeling of flow, this feeling of purity, this feeling of being held aloft by something that is so powerful yet so gentle at the same time. And the feeling in your heart is so deep that it's almost hard to fathom that a human being can feel something like this. This space right now, this experience of safety, of support, of love, of a deep knowing that nothing could ever disturb this. This can be yours all the time, in any area of life, including money. Money has this same supportive energy ready and available for you. All you need to do is consciously decide that you are going to relax yourself into it. The energy of money is waiting for you to tap into it, to breathe it in like fresh mountain air, and use it in any way that you want to. When you start to choose this feeling of money, everything starts to change in almost miraculous ways. You no longer feel like you are in service of it, but instead You will feel supported by money. You will have the sense that money is here for you, that you don't have to scramble for it and work really hard for it, that instead you can relax into this gorgeous limitless space, and you can go in any direction that you want to go, just as if you were floating on that lake. And you might say, oh, I think I want to go in this direction for a moment. Money is there. Money is here for you. Money is here for you. It is here to support you. It is here to energize you in a way that feels caring and filled with trust. You never again, from this moment, need to have a feeling of fear or mistrust or doubt or worry about money. Never again from this moment do you need to feel anything but support, love, beauty, effortlessness, abundance when it comes to money. Money is here for you. You are free to act on your desires, and money is here for you. You're free to act from your intuition, and money is here for you. You're free to be who you are, and money is here for you. Breathe it in. Feel that limitlessness. Feel that simplicity. Money is here to support you in all things that you want to create in this life. Money's here for you. Thank you so much for listening. This is Mary Schiller. I'll talk to you again soon.
