It’s incredible to me how hard it is to receive. So many of us, especially us healer types really struggle with letting in love, wealth, care and attention. I can feel this in myself – how do I receive all this attention and well wishes during my book launch? I am stretched to take it all in, really allow it in.
And I also see it daily in my clients.
My sessions are pretty nurturing, and I can feel the exact moment when someone has reached the threshold of what they can receive and then they shut it off. For many people it’s a teeny, weeny amount and they reach their max capacity to receive. Even if they actually need a whole lot more.
Their hearts close, their faces shut down and they turn the conversation and attention away from themselves. They have reached what they feel worthy and deserving of and have to stop.
It makes me sad.
What if we could expand this and actually max out our capacity to receive? What if we could open to receiving more and more?
The heart is meant to both give and receive. Giving is only half the equation.
Givers need someone to receive their gifts in order to complete the energetic circuit.
Can we give and then receive just as much if not more than we give?
And wouldn’t that enable to fill our tanks completely so we can continue to give?
