Money, Abundance & Prosperity: 20 Questions For Subconscious Exploration
In Life Scriptinggroup and individual sessions, we first stimulate our subconscious mind with a series of questions before doing the deep energy work. And I was preparing a list of questions for an offline breathwork session on money, prosperity, and abundance in Yerevan when I realized these questions are worth sharing with the rest of my clients, regardless of where they are.
Below is a curated list that will help you do some serious “soul-searching” about your beliefs, patterns, fears, and internal limitations around money, wealth, abundance, and a prosperous mindset!
Here is how to do this practice: Take a notebook and answer these questions honestly. Do not overthink and write whatever comes to mind, even if it feels irrational, uncomfortable, or contradictory. Write continuously for 2–3 minutes per question. The first answer often comes from the conscious mind; the deeper answers usually appear a few lines later.
1. Complete the sentence: “Money is…” Write down at least 10 words, thoughts, beliefs, or associations that come to mind. Examples: money is freedom, security, power, stress, evil, dirty, hard, dangerous, responsibility, abundance, survival. Then ask yourself: which of these beliefs support my abundance, and which ones limit it?
2. What did you hear about money and wealthy people while growing up? Think about your family, culture, school, religion, and environment. Examples: rich people are greedy; money does not grow on trees; you cannot make money honestly; money changes people; wealth is selfish. Reflect: which of these messages did you absorb as truth?
3. What is the worst thing that could happen if you became very rich? Imagine having complete financial freedom. Would people judge you? Would friends and family members become jealous, and would acquaintances want something from you? Would you lose your authenticity? Would you become greedy, lonely, irresponsible, or disconnected from your values? Reflect: write down every fear that appears.
4. What do you believe you would have to do to earn ten times more money? Do you think you would have to work harder, sacrifice your health, your freedom, your work-life balance, neglect your family, become less spiritual, take advantage of people, or become someone you are not? Reflect: notice what your subconscious associates with greater wealth.
5. When you see wealthy people living an abundant lifestyle, what do you feel? Think about social media, luxury lifestyles, celebrities, entrepreneurs, investors, or successful people you know. Do you feel inspired, happy for them, jealous, angry, skeptical, judgmental, motivated, or indifferent? Reflect: your emotional reaction reveals your true relationship with wealth.
6. List 3–5 wealthy and successful people you genuinely admire. What do you admire in them? Their confidence, freedom, generosity, creativity, intelligence, leadership, lifestyle, discipline, influence? Reflect: the qualities you admire may reveal what you are ready to develop within yourself.
7. List 3–5 wealthy and successful people you dislike, judge, or resent. What exactly triggers you? Their visibility, ambition, power, luxury, self-promotion, confidence, influence? Sometimes what triggers us reveals hidden fears, judgments, or rejected parts of ourselves.
8. How do you feel about receiving money for your work, knowledge, time, or services? Does being paid feel natural? Or do you feel guilt, embarrassment, impostor syndrome, discomfort, fear of charging too much, or fear of asking for payment? How easy is it for you to believe that your value, expertise, time, and energy deserve compensation?
9. How comfortable are you with receiving in general? Think beyond money. How do you feel when you receive compliments, gifts, help, love, support, opportunities, or care? Do you receive openly, or do you minimize, reject, justify, or immediately try to repay?
10. When someone gives you something, what is your first instinct? Do you receive it fully? Or do you feel uncomfortable, indebted, guilty, suspicious, or pressured to give something back? Reflect: notice whether receiving feels safe or unsafe.
11. How do you feel when you have to pay for something? Think about services, education, coaching, travel, healthcare, food, business investments, or everyday expenses. When money leaves your hands, do you feel trust, gratitude, neutrality, fear, anxiety, regret, stress, or loss? Reflect: what story do you tell yourself when you spend money?
12. How do you feel when unexpected expenses appear? Imagine a sudden bill, repair, medical cost, or urgent payment. Do you trust that everything will work out? Or do you feel panic, anger, helplessness, resentment, fear, or victimhood? Reflect: unexpected expenses often reveal our deepest beliefs about safety and abundance.
13. How do you feel when you spend money on others? Think about buying gifts, paying for dinner, supporting family, helping a friend, donating, or treating someone you love. Do you give with joy, pleasure, generosity, and gratitude? Or with obligation, resentment, anxiety, fear, or a need to keep score?
14. Where do you need stronger money boundaries? Think about undercharging, overgiving, lending money, saying yes when you want to say no, giving discounts, unpaid emotional labor, or spending from guilt. Reflect: where do you leak money, time, or energy? What would change if you allowed yourself to protect your resources without guilt?
15. Write down 10 material things you deeply desire Do not limit yourself. Examples: dream home, luxury travel, designer handbag, luxury watch, sports car, private retreat, first-class travel, beach house, yacht, private jet. As you write, notice any resistance:
“That is too expensive”
“I do not need that”
“That is selfish”
“That is too shallow”
“I could never have that”
“People like me do not deserve that”
"What am I, a bimbo?"
16. List at least 10 things you would like money for Money flows more easily when we know what we want it to do for us. Examples: buying a home, traveling, starting a business, investing, supporting family, health, education, hiring help, charity, legacy, creative projects, freedom, better quality of life. Be specific: instead of “travel,” write: “Spend a month in Paris” or “Take my parents on their dream vacation”.
17. What are your future non-negotiables? Imagine money is no longer a concern. List at least 5 things you would comfortably incorporate into your daily life because they save time, energy, stress, or improve your quality of life. Examples: always flying Business or First Class, premium health insurance, concierge services, personal assistant, driver, cook, housekeeper, nanny, personal trainer, wellness team, expensive gym membership, monthly SPA-treatments, etc. Reflect: what do these things really give you: freedom, time, peace, health, convenience, ease, creativity?
18. Imagine that all your financial goals have already come true You wake up, and your wildest material desires are already real. Maybe you live in your dream home. Maybe you drive your dream car. Maybe you are on your dream vacation. Maybe your family is secure. Maybe you have complete freedom, a thriving business, or a corporate job that makes your soul sing! Now experience it through your five senses.
What do you see?
What do you smell?
What do you touch? Maybe expensive bedsheets, beautiful clothes, warm sunlight, leather seats, and sand under your feet.
What do you hear? Waves, laughter, music, silence, the voices of loved ones?
What do you taste? Coffee, fresh fruit, a beautiful breakfast, champagne, your favorite meal?
Now ask: how do I feel? Peace, joy, freedom, gratitude, confidence, security, pride, relief, love, expansion?
19. What part of you is afraid of having more money? If your income doubled, tripled, or increased tenfold, what part of you feels uncomfortable? Fear of responsibility, visibility, success, failure, judgment, losing relationships, being different, making bigger decisions? Reflect: let the fear speak honestly.
20. How are you benefiting from staying at your current level of income? This may be the most important question. What problems would greater wealth force you to face? Would you have to become more visible, set boundaries, take responsibility, make bigger decisions, stop playing small, leave your comfort zone, or become the person you say you want to be? Reflect: what hidden benefit might your subconscious be receiving from keeping your financial reality exactly where it is today?
