🌿 A Gentle Beginning
You were born to receive.
Breath. Nourishment. Love.
And yes—support, wealth, care, rest.
But somewhere along the way, the world told you:
Receiving is weak.
Receiving is selfish.
Receiving is greedy.
So you learned to shrink.
To give more than you had.
To turn away from what you actually longed for.
But love—what if receiving is part of your sacred design?
💫 The Shame Around Receiving
So many of us are wired for over-giving.
Not because we’re more generous,
but because we’re afraid that asking makes us unworthy.
You may have felt:
- Guilt when accepting help
- Discomfort at receiving compliments
- A need to “earn” every dollar, every yes, every bit of rest
But true receiving isn’t a transaction.
It’s a birthright.
It’s a frequency.
It’s a healing.
🕯 Try This
Take one small step toward receiving today.
Here are a few ideas:
- Let someone help you—without explaining why you need it.
- Accept a compliment fully.
- Practice saying “yes” to money, rest, or pleasure without apology.
Then, reflect:
What comes up when I receive?
Where does shame live in that moment?
What would it feel like to receive with softness, with openness, with reverence?
You are not taking too much.
You are allowing what’s meant for you.
🌙 Parting Thought
You are safe to receive.
You are safe to be full.
You are safe to let good things reach you without guilt.
This is not indulgence.
This is healing.
