Growing your ability to receive

Can you celebrate even more of what is coming your way, of what is here now? What spontaneous celebration can you organise, for yourself, your loved ones? A great way of saying: ‘yes, thank you, and more of this please’ to Life. Bringing a lot of clarity in your relationship with Life.

Can you say ‘thank you’ – for all that comes? From a perspective of ‘what does it show me? How could this be the best thing that could happen?’ For the great things, but even for the very difficult parts. This gives you the ability to greatly deepen your relationship with Life, when you are ready. This is not to say you should be grateful for the hardship that you experience. No. When it hurts, it hurts. When it hurts deeply, it hurts deeply. It’s just that when we keep fighting it, it gets in the way of what is yours to receive. This question is designed to help you find that deepening.

Can you say an even fuller ‘Yes’ to what is here right now? This can be a stretch, and it is a way of grabbing Life by the horns metaphorically speaking, receiving it, honouring it fully, and from there, set your next steps. Instead of maybe trying to ignore part of what is here right now (often because it feels too painful), which means that we step out of connection with Life. It’s harder then to keep our relationship going, and it’s harder to influence what happens next.

What weeds are there to pull? Your ‘no’ is as important as your ‘yes’. What is it in what is emerging for you, that you could do with less of? How can you make that happen?

Can you be clearer in your intention of what you would like to have happen in your relationship with Life, with any of your spokes? Align your actions just a bit more?

Can you let go of blaming yourself, feeling guilty, or ashamed? These are emotions that are self-destructive in nature. They are ways for parts of your past experience you didn’t like to continue to manifest itself.  And they do that very productively.

  • But shame cannot live in the dark. Can you share what you feel ashamed about to start your healing? Brene Brown’s work is very good on this topic.

  • If you are feeling guilty, how can you work towards forgiving yourself? Are there conversations to be had?

  • Self-blame keeps your unfree of what could happen next. Byron Katie’s the Work can be a great way into releasing yourself from this.

And of course Ho’Oponopono is very potent here.
