In order to receive we must GIVE.
If you ever find yourself in a place of utter stagnation ~ give. Whether big or small it doesn’t matter. To a friend, family member, or stranger ~ doesn’t matter. Just go give.
The energetic exchange will make its way right back to you. Depending on your level of openness, awareness, and current state of expansiveness, you’ll be able to see how your little act ripples out, and then right back to you. Sometimes instantaneously.
Take note of the energy you are using as you give ~ as that will be the energy you receive back.
Giving can be done in so many ways.
- a physical gift
- a text message
- an energetic exchange of any sort
- all communication
- a phone call
- your time
Aside from money ~ whats the difference between gifting a handmade card to our grandma vs a new car?
The difference is totally up to you. What’s the intention behind the gift? ( what energy is being bridged ) Typically if we are handmaking a card for our grandma ~ its full of love, appreciation, and time. The same can go for gifting something like a car. Money does seem to make the intention setting a little more murky ~ however to keep it in a clear positive intention, it just requires an extra level of awareness, presence, and why it is you are choosing to do that which you’re doing.
Now ~ a BIG stumbling block for me and others is an inability to allow ourselves to receive.
Stemming from places of unworthiness, lack of trust both inward and outward, habitual learning of bad energetic exchanges closing us off as a form of protection, lack of self love creating an inability to receive love back. etc.
Unfortunately if we have an inability to receive this means we then have an inability to give. Leading us straight into that place of stagnation. And since we are ever evolving beings ~ stagnation isn’t exactly good for us.
When we find ourselves in a place of deep hibernation where we know our energy is off and any act of giving will only open us up to receiving bad energy back ~ this is when we learn how to give to ourselves. If we want to feel love, joy, happiness, presence, appreciation . . . this is when we learn to cultivate these within ourselves, give them to ourselves, to begin to unwind and transform our own energetic makeup to where we then feel comfortable giving again to others.
If you’re noticing you are in this space of stagnation ~ its up to us to get out of it. An object at rest, will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion. ** unless an outside force acts upon it *** which we then have to keep the momentum up ourselves to fully break the cycle.
Think back to a time when someone has given something to you and maybe you haven’t given back in some way. Here is an opportunity to give.
Always be looking for ways in which you can contribute. And think about the ways you would enjoy contributing.
Maybe start small and build yourself up as this is a powerful act of offering and holds within it the code for some magical transformations.
