Did you know that opening your heart and mind to receiving is one of the pre-requisites for having an abundant life?

Most people are GREAT givers. They are highly generous. They give and give constantly. It makes them feel good about themselves

But, to experience abundance in your life, you have to complete the energetic circuit of both giving AND receiving. You have to create balance by allowing the flow of universal energy to move in both directions—to and from you—so that it can become complete, whole, balanced  

You have to become a GENEROUS RECEIVER!

• When someone does you a favour, you immediately feel you owe them something or need to repay them in some way
• You feel embarrassed or awkward when someone gives you a compliment and are unable to respond openly and appreciatively.  You may even try to negate the compliment.
• You often say ... "not now...maybe later"
• You tend to criticize yourself or judge your mistakes or flaws harshly
• When you receive a windfall, find money, or win something, you often give it away
• You find it hard to forgive someone who has hurt or harmed you
• You feel awkward, unworthy or embarrassed receiving gifts, awards, or promotions
• You resist changing any aspect of your life, even if it isn’t working
• You are struggling with money or lack in your life
• You have failed relationships, no relationship, or relationships where your needs are not being met
• Your life isn’t the way you wish it could be

It is normal to become defensive and build emotional walls when you’ve been hurt or disappointed and don’t want to get hurt again.  You might not want to forgive, or you may create a silent rule that it isn’t safe to let that situation happen again.

You may have grown up in a family where you did not feel heard, or you were always rebuked when you asked for what you wanted.  If punishment or criticism was routine in your childhood, or if you possess a highly developed conscience, you may tend to judge yourself harshly and therefore punish yourself for perceived 'wrongs' or mistakes.  So, you will unconsciously resist happiness, pleasure, or reward because you believe you don't deserve it

Parents are instrumental in teaching/showing us how to get our needs met.  If you are unhealed with respect to your father, it will seem as though the universe is ungenerous and cold.  Masculine father energy is meant to be expansive, life affirming, and warm like the sun  

If you did not have a positive male role model and you did not receive nurturing from your mother, you be unable to tap into the flow of opening to receive

Universal energies respond to your energy.  So, if you have built emotional walls for ANY reason, even in just one area of your life, you have created a solid energetic force field that acts like a shield, preventing good things from getting through

When the universal flow brings wonderful benefits close to you, it is inadvertently deflected off your walled energetic field.  So, the benefits go, instead, to someone who does not have this resistance

It doesn't matter that your intention is to protect yourself in another aspect of your life.  The universe cannot discern the reason for your resistance ... only that the resistance is present  

You are, therefore, inadvertently blocking ALL areas of your life from receiving. So, you are missing all sorts of wonderful things that are rightfully yours--opportunities, money, new friendships, relationships, and the good things in life!
