Ease Into The Receiving Frequency

You may have heard that you need to open to receive. The truth is that you are always receiving. It’s highly likely that you are open to receiving the negative things in your life much more easily than the positive things – you’re just not aware that that’s what’s happening.

It’s beneficial to focus on what your preference is and then begin to become conscious of what you are receiving and what you are rejecting. It is quite common if you receive 10 pieces of feedback that you would focus on the one that would be perceived as negative. Nine of them could have been glowing, however, the one may not have been as supportive or encouraging as you would have liked.

Chances are you will spend time perseverating on: what you could have done differently, how you are a failure, no point in doing that again, and so on. It’s not to say that you can’t use the feedback to see if there is something you can learn from the situation and/or explore why it triggered you. However, you don’t want to do that to the exclusion of actively receiving the 9 affirming ones. If you do, it can help you become more aware of what you actually think and feel about your self.

A useful thing to become aware of is how big is your space of receptivity. Perhaps you are able to think of it as a receptacle. Take a moment to imagine, or get a sense of, how big this receptacle is for the good feeling things in your life. You can do the same with the unpleasant feeling things. How big is it, how deep, and whatever other dimensions or characteristics it may have. Do your best to expand your space of receptivity or the actual visualized/ intended receptacle even more so. How much of the goodness in life are you willing to receive?

This may be governed by your sense of worthiness. How worth-y are you. Sometimes the word deserving is used. However, deserving suggests that you worked hard enough and you’ve earned it. Deserving tends to have a conditional component associated with it. On the other hand, worthiness is dependent upon your existence. If you have a preference, then you are worthy of receiving it just because you exist.

Just being your self may be judged as not being enough. However, being you to the full extent that you can in every moment is the greatest gift and service you can offer to anyone. Your existence is always more than enough. If that doesn’t feel comfortable to you then it may be an opportunity to explore your beliefs around worthiness and deservingness. When are you enough to be able to receive what you want?
Know that you don’t have to receive everything that is offered to you. If someone offers you a disparaging remark about your self, do you feel compelled to receive it? Just because someone tries to give you something doesn’t mean you have to ‘take it.’ It may be the case that you are adept at rejecting the loving comments that are offered to you and skilled at welcoming the negative remarks.

Remember you get to choose what you receive and what you don’t. If you are not liking what is being offered to you, then, as has been mentioned, it is a wonderful opportunity to explore what you think you are worth or what you think you deserve. You can bring to light beliefs around the conditions you have for receiving what you really want. This can be the beginning of shifting your frequency to draw toward you that which you really want and need.
