Do you receive compliments well?
Do you receive unexpected gifts easily?
Do you accept help when it is offered?
Do you accept your meal being paid for by a friend?
These are little things, but they will help you know if you are open to receiving.
Remember, the Universe is moving through everyone and every circumstance to give to you. www.twitter.com/thesecret
This little post came across my eyes and at the first I read it, a little aha moment happened, then re-read it again and it thought about people who I have met and have experienced it.
How absolutely true this is, if we don't think we deserve the little things - how are we going to be open to receiving anything?
Over the years, I have been pursuing to help myself lighten up, through various experiences, courses, workshops, and teachings on self awareness. This has helped me by letting go of beliefs that no longer serve me, help identify resistances inside me, develop & trust my intuition, AND believe in my guidance system. Throughout this, I have been able to implement the Law of Attraction into my life.
One of my friends' dislikes people treating him to a meal, he 'feels' it makes himself feel poor. At the time, I was attempting to understand why an act of kindness from one person would be able to create an negative feeling in another.
Over the years, I am able to help to identify that particular feeling -
poor = self-worth = wealth consciousness. This person doesn't feel that they deserve it - therefore if they cannot recognize this belief/resistance - they won't be able to move forward to let the allowing of whatever they want to come to them.
Here is a great exercise to help you become aware if there is a resistance in yourself of receiving:
1. The next time someone gives you a compliment - before you give a response - play it over in mind a couple of times - it's ok if it's delayed - just process it. Let your body & soul hear it.
2. If you are unable to say "Thank you" - then you know you have resistance
3. Now, if you have resistance this is where you will need to further discover what is related to. This is where the fun begins!!
Happy receiving my friends!
