Getting vs. Receiving

It was brought to my attention by my Guides today that often, we are more in alignment with the energy of “getting” rather than “receiving.” There is a really huge difference in energetic signature between these two attitudes!

We often strive to get somewhere, to get something, to get ahead, to get going, to get someone else to do something. When we are in the attitude of “getting,” we put ourselves in the driver’s seat. There’s not much room for the Universe to do its work when we’re so busy trying to get what we want out of life. When we’re in the mode of “getting,” we’re constantly in putting energy out there, rather than allowing it in.

There’s an entirely different energy around receiving. What if we were open to receiving a new situation, a new level of abundance, receiving more love and understanding from the people in our lives? As we put the energy of our intentions, our goals and desires out into the Universe, being open to receiving lets the Universe do its job. When we’re in “receiving mode,” we’re far more able to see the opportunities that the Universe manifests for us in response to our intent. We’re not so bent on “getting” where we want to be by the means we think are available.

Being open to receive makes us exactly that … open! The Universe manifests for us in ways we wouldn’t necessarily conceive of ourselves. So let’s stop “getting” to where we want to be and start “receiving” our desired outcomes! As an added bonus, this attitude creates more awareness - and less work! Sounds good to me …
