The Importance of Practising Spirituality in Your Daily Life

I get what you might be thinking!


‘Hey Julie, what the heck does spirituality have to do with money and building wealth?!’


Well, more than you might imagine!


Through my many years as a financial planner and working with so many clients, I soon discovered that the missing component when it comes to building wealth from the inside out was addressing the emotions connected to our money. 


I know that for many people, the idea and the importance of spirituality can seem a little esoteric, but when I talk about spirituality, what I really mean is finding a connection to something - whatever that looks like for you, that you can truly ground yourself in. 


It’s about finding that connection within yourself that allows you to drop into your heart, keeping your nervous system in neutral and allowing you to plug into the world with more awareness and creating space for expansion. 


The Fourfold Being 


We are all Fourfold Beings. This means that we each have a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual side that work in harmony with one another. 


These 4 pillars are what create the essence of who we are and if we’re not having all 4 pillars rise up, we won’t be in alignment. We’ll accept less than what we want to create and even if we
do attract these things in, something will suffer along the way. 


And yes, that includes your finances!


Incorporating spirituality into your life doesn’t have to be complicated. There are so many practices you can try and at its core, it’s about finding meaning, being mindful and 

allowing you to create a life you love by making yourself a priority.


Giving time to you. To be. To allow. To expand. 


Making sure that you’re driving the engine of your life every step of the way and instead of reacting to the world around you, choosing to observe. 


The Power of Meditation


Meditation is an incredible way to drop into your heart and regulate your nervous system. 


Let me ask you; do you find yourself distracted by the outside world? It could be that you’re a workaholic, addicted to working out or the feeling of cortisol running through your body. 


Perhaps your phone, video games, social media? 


All of these distractions mean you’re not focused on being the creator of your life, but distracted by what's pulling you away. 


The importance of spiritual meditation enables you to intercept that pattern of distraction and unplug. 


Whether that’s taking ten minutes a day to be still, to breathe and ground yourself. 


Meditation could also be creating art, walking in nature, singing, doing puzzles.


Anything that allows you to drop into your feminine energy and receive those intuitive hits that you can’t receive when you’re being distracted by the world at large. 


Why is this so important?



Well,
creating a life you love and one of Real Wealth means being open to expansion. 


You can’t expand if you’re distracting yourself. If you’re looking for a quick hit of dopamine of happiness and reaching for these things outside of yourself to avoid feeling your feelings. 


So when people ask me ‘why be spiritual?’, this is why!


We Work Things Out or Act Them Out!


So many times, I’ve seen people work hard all of their life in a job they don’t enjoy, doing all the ‘right’ things to build a life they’ve felt obliged to live, making all the smart financial decisions, yet some part of their life has suffered. 


This could be in the form of disease crystalizing in the body,
creating leaky financial containers or staying in a relationship that makes them unhappy.


Some people wind up in a suffering pattern of debt and spending hangovers no matter what steps they take to get a handle on their finances. 


As I always say, we work things out or act them out and acting them out is an indication that we’re not allowing ourselves to feel and process those emotions that have very likely existed since before the age of 7. 


The benefits of spiritual practices therefore allow us to take some time to go inwards. To reflect, to feel our feelings, to shift our perspective and see life through a new lens. 


It’s an opportunity to plug into the world in an entirely new way. 


To open up to expansion and be the creator of our life as opposed to allowing other people or systems to dictate what that looks like.


Everything is Energetic


Everything is energy and so finding ways to shift and clear that energy is how you create those quantum leaps in your manifestations. 


This can also be in the form of what you choose to consume on a physical level in your diet.


It can be how you choose to move your body. 


It can be trying various forms of energy work. 


Spirituality can look different to everyone and there are so many tools and practices that you can try and see what really lands for you. 


Building wealth from the inside out and creating a life of
Real Wealth means going inwards and being open to approaching life in a new way.


In a way that brings joy and abundance.


In a way that shifts you from negotiating yourself away to leading with your heart. 


To following your giggle and choosing to engage in practices and activities that make your heart sing!


This is
why in my books and in my Julie Murphy work I really drill down on the importance of spirituality because it enables us to plug into our own life in a new way that creates the results we truly desire.


I really encourage you to explore the idea of spirituality and what that could look like for you. Try things out, experiment and see how things shift!

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
