The Nines is a Soul Map that came to me through challenging life experiences as I discovered my passions in life & followed my heart. It is intended to inspire deeper reflection of our Soul path, to be true to ourselves, and live an extraordinary life.
Weāre winding down on The Nines, a few more to go. Do you notice how they get more internal as we journey? I found that interesting as I went along on my path. Thereās a yang/yin vibe to them. The deeper we go, the more we realize the value of balance between action & allowing.
When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly #Receive from Life? It could be anything. A compliment, a gift, support/help, an offer you may doubt, but canāt refuse. In my experience, itās been one of the hardest mental hurdles to maneuver, post surrendering into an abyss.
Iāve had to receive roofs over my head, jobs I didnāt know if I could do, help from others Iād much rather not have had to ask for. Itās very humbling for an independent free spirit to take in. What I discovered is that underneath the gift of receiving is knowing our worth. When I truly receive with grace, I am honoring both the giver & myself. It may not be obvious at first, but thereās always a balance.
I believe the heart of Humanity loves to give AND receive, yet weāre most comfortable giving. For some reason, receiving has a bad rap. As if it makes us ālesserā than. Perhaps closer to the truth is that when we are given something, it makes us feel vulnerable. We have a choice.
When we give, can we do so without expecting something in return?
When we receive, can we do so without feeling we have to give back in return?
Itās subtle.
We all have the potential to receive our worth, our dreams, and live the life we love. If we cannot genuinely receive from others, from life...because we know weāre worthy of it, not out of righteousness or entitlement, we have work to do.
Feel what happens within you when youāre inspired to give, or offered a gift in any form. Do you have an agenda? Do you get defensive? Are you truly grateful? Do you feel worthy of the gift? Itās really interesting to notice the difference between resistance & acceptance as we move into unconditional love.
Simply put, to notice where we are coming from, love or fear, is invaluable insight.
When we Master the Art of Receptivity authentically from our hearts, we will see the truth: weāre all the same inside, going through all the same stuff in a variety of ways. Being in #surrender (the sister to receiving), we are open, we #trust more, we see the miracle: there will be more love & less fear between us.
We simply do our part, and begin within ā„
