Miracle Moment: Strengthening Your Receiving Muscle

Today’s Miracle Moment is About Strengthening Your Receiving Muscle.

 Do you struggle with receiving? Especially if you’re very empathic and sensitive to the needs of others, you might tend to focus on everyone else’s needs. Maybe you even feel guilty about receiving. So how can you strengthen your receiving muscle?

Here’s an important shift in perspective around receiving:

When you receive with gratitude and joy, you’re allowing the giver to experience the full pleasure of giving.

For example, when you put a lot of thought and care into a birthday gift for someone in your life, you get to experience the joy of seeing their happiness and appreciation. It’s the same for the Universe.

The Universe wants to shower its abundance on you, and when you receive what you’re given with gratitude and joy, you create a feedback loop of joyful giving and receiving.

You can practice receiving from a place of joyful gratitude by recognizing all the little and big things you’re receiving all day long. When you wake up in the morning, you can be grateful to the universe for the fresh air you breathe or the rest you got the night before. You can be grateful for your morning coffee, your favorite breakfast, or a hot shower. At the grocery store check-out line or at a restaurant, you can also practice receiving with gratitude and joy.

The more joyful gratitude you feel and express for everything you have in life, the more you strengthen your receiving muscle.

Your body is literally built to receive. There are little antennas on the surface of every cell inside your body that are constantly receiving energies from the material manifest world, the divine, your ability to process life, and all that you’re experiencing.

When you reject or resist something you’re experiencing, you shut yourself off from the abundance of life. By opening your heart to whatever it is that you’re authentically feeling, even if that’s a “negative” feeling like anxiety or worry, the feeling will begin to dissolve. It will then transmute into the energies of light and love and support you to live a more authentic life.

So receive, accept, and embrace every part of life with great appreciation.

This week, we invite you to go through each day noticing the little and big things you’re receiving. Practice accepting and embracing each of them with gratitude.

We’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment to share what you’re grateful for right now.

      Grateful that I was able to spend time with a much older friend. Realize how much he means to me personally and our community. Thank you for reminding me that even when I am not feeling “terrific”, life is GOOD!

      Let’s begin thanking you both for the wisdom given on RECEIVING! I begin RECEIVING before I get out of bed. I learn to allow SELF to RECEIVE from SOURCE ENERGY. I call the ENERGY electrolytes. The LIGHT that’s coming and going through us all. I remain delightfully caressing ENERGY with appreciation, thanksgiving, praise and satisfaction confidently trusting their GUIDED VIBEs propelled by the CREATOR.

    Astonished how in-sync things are for me with this message.

    I am in the shifting processes of releasing feelings and thoughts real or altered in the old pattering.

    I just practiced this exercise last week put it into action for myself.

    I believe it had a positive effect with both sides in the receiving I graciously accepted with the light of allowing healing to absorb in the cells of both the the giver and in my self of the service I did.

    Thank you for your time with Your Year of Miracles

    I am so very grateful to wake up each morning to my warm, furry, purring cat, Murphy, to enjoying my first cup of delicious hot coffee, to the comfort of my home and the reliability of my car that sees me safely to my interactions in the world.

    I am deeply grateful to finally be the proud owner of my own spa with my new spa “family” of staff and the most awesome massage clients anyone could hope for. They enrich my life with much love and support.

    I am humbly grateful that when my mother recently passed, she did so in the comfort of her own home and bed surrounded with love and prayers and hyms and the taste of communion “wine” on her lips. It was a graceful transition for a beloved soul who was herself filled with grace and boundless love.

    I am grateful for the opportunity to live my own life to the best of my ability with increasing love, gratitude and spiritual awareness. Thank you, YOM family!

      Sandy, I am so happy that you were able to have your mother at home surrounded by love and light in her final hours.
      That is a true blessing that not very many people are able to experience. God Bless You.

    I am open to receiving what is my understanding to what is of me to grow and prosper. I do feel that this thing of showing no gratitude comes from being confused about what is being asked of me. If you assume someone can do something and they cannot you would think this. I believe that it’s a higher power and trust that he would do things needed for me. This needs to be understood, when you say showing gratitude.

    I was recently told by my employer that I would be receiving a raise. My first instinct was to say that it wasn’t necessary but then I realized that this was her way of letting me know how much I was appreciated and I then accepted the offer with extreme gratitude.

    I think I must have recently cracked it, and I’ll tell you why 😁.
    A few weeks ago my aunt and uncle offered to pay for me to fly out to Spain to stay with them. On looking at flights, I checked to see that my passport was two years out of date. I applied for a renewal online and it came in a week. Many are having to wait weeks and months for theirs. I finally paid off two debts and recently looked to check the accounts had cleared after a month, I found that one was £50 in credit and the other £300 in credit. I used those refunds to clear the rest of my debts. I’m now debt free 💃🏼 I’m intending on flying to America next year to attend a cousins wedding and a retreat, 🤞🏼 They’ll let the unjabbed in.

    I am in gratitude for Dr. Sue and Marci reminding me to stay in this miraculous mindset of gratefulness. Everything has become a gift. Even the negative events. Recently I learned a big lesson from my daughter, who drinks excessively and smokes. The more I try to help, the more there is resistance. When I finally let go of trying to change her, and realized that she is on her own journey toward growth in her own time, I freed her to make her own choices. She is doing what she has to for her own unfoldment. This has changed our relationship dramatically. We are more loving and connected now.
    Thank you so much, Dr. Sue and Marci for your wisdom and the help you give others. You make the world a better place.
