You were born to receive.
But why is the act of receiving discouraged by our culture? What happened to that childhood thrill of receiving gifts, for example?
Now that we are grown, accepting compliments, gifts or even a small favor can feel wrong if immediate reciprocation is not provided. When was the last time you answered a compliment with a simple, “thank you!” without quickly scrambling to find something kind to say about the other person? Self-sacrifice is normalized, and even encouraged in our culture. Messages such as, “give it everything you’ve got!” and “others come first!” are rampant in the collective subconscious.
I believe that receiving is an act that stems from the feminine archetype. Do you struggle to harmonize your inner polarities of masculine and feminine energy? If this is the case for you, you may also notice an imbalance in your habits of giving and receiving.
In today’s Fast Friday episode, I will read to you from Dr. Christiane Northrup’s essential book, “Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide To A Divinely Inspired Life,” in which she discusses ways we may begin to build back the lost habit of receiving.
Accept all compliments for 1 week
Speak a change-me prayer
Consciously receive from nature
We must receive to give, and give to receive. This is the law of giving and receiving.
