lifestyle clique WHY RECEIVING MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE Many cannot respond to receiving something, with simple pure joy or thankfulness. Receivers • Can feel guilty and/or inadequate • Can have a sense of debt Givers • Can feel disappointed or ‘out of energetic exchange’ • True intentions can be misunderstood and future kindness can be shut down • Feel the need for more frequent, grander gestures The result of an incomplete give/ receive exchange? Giving or receiving on it’s own will eventually erode your self-esteem. BUT WAIT THERE IS HOPE As Budhha quotes: "Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy; while giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful; and haven given, the mind of the giver is uplifted. KARMA CAN’T BE TRICKED Please be aware that if your intention of giving, is purely to get ahead or to gain some advantage, the intention you are setting, is going to trigger the law of attraction… in the wrong direction. Equally if you give, purely for the joy of seeing another benefit from your action, the laws of Gestation and Attraction will kick in, growing that energy of kindness and attracting back towards you. ALWAYS ACT WITH POSITIVE INTENTION Both sides benefit tremendously when you give with authentic, congruent intention or receive with grace. You can feel a deeper sense of connection to • The other party • Society • The associated cause • How the laws are working for you. The more consciously aware you are of the natural laws, the easier and quicker they start to vibrate in your favour. A great relationship has equal giving and receiving from both sides of the partnership. As a giver you will feel understood and fulfilled - as a receiver you will feel balanced and valued.
