THE
3 KEYS TO RECEIVING
Dear Mary Lyn,
I’m trying to learn how
to receive. I know it’s
important for increasing my abundance.
Do you have any suggestions for becoming more open / available
to receiving?
- - Lynn
Dear Lynn:
This is a great question!
These 3 Keys have worked for me.
Try them!
1) Relaxation
If you want to receive you
need to relax. When you’re busy or tense, your body and mind assume
a fighting posture. We
even talk about our day as, “it was a war out there,” or, “I had
to fight for everything today,” and similar vocabulary that
represents less than a relaxed status.
‘Fighting’ closes and defends; relaxing opens and invites.
This is why meditation,
walking or listening to uplifting messages puts you in a more
receptive mode. Creative
people talk all the time about how a great idea came when they were
playing ball on the beach - not when they were trying hard to have an
idea.
2) Saying Yes
Another aspect of receiving is
saying yes. Yes to assistance that is offered, yes to compliments (no
deflecting allowed), yes to doing what you need to do to take care of
yourself. We claim we
want to receive and then when things are offered, we find a reason to
say no. Notice when
things are offered, small things, assistance of any sort. Noticing the
little things prepares you for the bigger ones.
3) Gratitude
The last thing I’ll mention
is gratitude for what you have already received.
We are such a “more” society.
We forget that we have already received so much.
My minister believes the foundation of all prosperity is
excessive gratitude. A
gratitude list every night to acknowledge the 4-5 things you have
received from the day or for the simple pleasures you experienced
opens the way for so much more.
Passionately,
Mary Lyn
