Capital is Energy | Part One
Written by Constance de Wavrin, Founder & CEO of In|Flow
How we design financial instruments can transform how we make use of capital and can empower us in how we steward human and planetary resources.
When based on ethical and morally ambitious guiding principles, investment frameworks have the capacity to underpin highly deliberate financial structures. In recent years, new asset classes with intentional use-of-proceeds have emerged and become the life and blood of equitable, climate-resilient markets.
From labelled green debt, loans and equity, sustainability-linked instruments, social impact bonds, certified biodiversity credits and philanthropic digital currencies, capital markets abound with solutions and tools to help participants navigate the treacherous waters of climate risk and socio economic uncertainty.
Today we boldly invite you to explore the energetic vibration of capital.
The first thing to understand is that the world we live in is an energy universe and that capital is simply energy. If capital isn't a fixed entity, nor is there a fixed quantity of money in the universe, it follows that it is not something that we can gather and hoard. The assumption that the more we acquire individually, the richer we are collectively, becomes questionable.
Instead, we invite you to consider capital as a flow.
We, as living entities, channel universal energy and, through our minds, we can become inspired to access as much energy as we need at any point in time. Of course, if our motivation is material, individualistic, confining and selfish, then we will not be as in tune with collective, universal flow.
This is why, in the context of driving capital towards assets, projects and investments that benefits all, attracting what we need at the time we need it becomes so critical to the optimal stewardship of resources.
Rather than accumulating and storing matter up, we could collectively learn to generate the right magnetism that puts us in flow - in alignment with source energy - and attracts the right opportunities as and when needed, and in the right quantity.
Intention, Intuition and Integrity
Reframing our use of capital away from that of acquisition and towards one of attraction, we, as individuals, can further reflect on the role of intentionality. According to, and paraphrasing modern teachers such as Dyer, Hicks, Dispenza, and Goddard, our motives supposedly impact our capacity to magnetise; from which follows that poor motives would likely create confining and limited magnetism.
We could ask ourselves: what is our real intention? How elevated is that intention?
Let’s say we pursue a project with the sole motive to make money, extract returns or simply preserve - in certain cases, hoard - capital. Such motives would systematically place us at cross purposes with ourselves, given that our innate desire is to create and to fully express our gift into the world. These forces end up crossing each other out.
We must also reflect on how useful intuition may be in guiding the use of our resources. What does real intuition feel like? How can we tell when we are intuitively in flow?
Intuition is defined as being in tune with what's trying to happen, what is trying to emerge, what is organically trying to birth itself into the world as opposed to what we are trying to impose onto the universe. Whenever we force, we run the risk of being out of alignment with flow.
Last but not least, we can ask ourselves whether being out of alignment with intention and intuition could potentially be indicative of being out of integrity with our core nature and inner desire to create, and therefore with the core values that support this true nature and inner desire.
The quantity of the energy we invest matters
Has anyone noticed capital is scarce? The simple fact of the matter is that money is energy. As creative beings, we put out energy to attract energy. This suggests that it is unrealistic to act on a low-energy vibration and expect high-energy results.
In financial terms, seeking high returns on one's capital requires taking high levels of risk - which is, in nature, high energy. A high yield bond requires deeper fundamental research than an investment grade credit. We cannot generate returns on capital without putting in the work, assessing the risks and exposures, measuring liquidity, without seeking to remedy vulnerabilities. Generating higher yields demands higher energy and, in fact, carries higher volatility. While this sounds pretty fundamental, the energetic component is one that many miss. There are no shortcuts and this is why returns are only comparable to investors on a risk-adjusted basis.
Our quest for greater sustainability, decarbonisation and positive impact outcomes navigates fertile grounds for such capital deployment at all levels of risk as well as de-risking. A direct equity investment in, say, a climate technology that sustains an ambitious corporate transition to net zero, may require greater depth of contextual research and expertise at the outset but with significant long term de-risking potential. This is why channeling energy towards building robust market infrastructure and scaling these investments will be critical to mainstreaming them as a fully fledged asset class.
If you are still reading this, please know that the energetic vibration of your attention and awakened awareness contributes to flow.
It is time to come full circle and return to our mission at In|Flow:
Where we drive capital matters.
As we ventured this far, all investments are not created energetically equal. And as a new AI and digital reality emerges, we cannot preserve and/or enhance returns without considering the energetic value of cultivating adaptive powers and fostering resilience in both investments and the portfolios that hold them.
Living in an incredibly dense, materialistic and outwardly-informed world has led us to become disconnected from the potentiality of driving capital flows responsibly. We use capital in extractive ways, for individualistic gains that rarely serve the greater good nor benefit people, let alone the planet.
We forget that where we have influence on the cause, we have influence on the consequence. As we move from an age of matter to an age of energy, we recognise that energy is universal and forms the basis for much of what we put out in the world. What we do with capital carries a potent energetic vibration.
On the eve of 2026, we imagine capital markets as a Sangha - a community of sorts, where capital is a mere means to an end. In this ecosystem, alignment with our core values gradually removes dense matter, concentration of risk and blockages which in turn facilitates greater access to source energy.
Imagine if financial instruments became entirely ubiquitous in shaping and serving a thriving economy and society. If we want to drive capital in sustainable and impactful manners, we would do well engaging and collaborating in energetically humane, creative and innovative ways.
Imagine that.
