Reason #6. I give and receive abundantly
I am of the opinion that abundance is plentiful and available for us to grasp, grow, share and receive at any given time. Abundance feels to me like a ball of energy that grows, sometimes in my hands, occasionally in my stomach and every so often in my mouth. I believe in giving it and receiving it abundantly in any form or shape it presents itself as.
It is amazing to witness what sharing from the heart can do for others. What a kind word gifted to a stranger can do to their energy — how it can positively impact their entire days’ flow and even shift a belief system. It is beautiful to see what a smile shared with another can do to their aura, and it is magical to witness what truly seeing someone can do to their soul.
When our actions match our intentions, the ripple effect of giving and receiving abundantly compounds. I am a true believer of giving when doing so feels right and not so much when we think we must or are expected to. The giving and receiving of abundance presents itself like a dance, an exchange of energy occurred by the connection of vibrations.
I give and receive abundantly, but not all the time, not in the same way or the same volume with everyone.
It seems to occur to us, somewhat intrinsically but more so culturally, that we have to give all of ourselves, all the time to everyone which in consequence leaves us feeling empty and expecting the same from others. I hold as truth that is not sustainable but most importantly, not necessary.
Energy and abundance work like brass scales, they go up and down before finding its balance.
So why do we always expect to give and receive in the same way?
Because we seem to believe abundance is limited to the transaction being held at one given point in time, and it is not.
Some people will give us more than we’ll ever be able to give back to them, but we will too, give more to others than they can ever reciprocate. The key is to give when we can and receive when it is offered, keeping the channel open. To learn to read the energy and become proficient in listening to ourselves, as our soul knows exactly when and how to give and receive abundantly. Our minds mean well but they have been conditioned to always expect the same, to give without asking and in most cases to not receive if we can’t reciprocate straight away.
It took me 8 months of not being able to give in the ways I knew how to, to learn how to receive from others with an open heart and an open mind.
Saying no is ok, giving wholeheartedly is too; doing it because we think we should versus feeling we want to is not. Our intentions should determine our actions, not the other way around.
Coming out of the blender knowing how to receive as abundantly as I can give, when I can give, has been a great lesson learned through walking the past of most resistance and a proud new reason why I love myself.
