Giving Back

Do you have a mindset that you have to give back as soon as you receive kindness, an object or a complement?

I recall mentioning to a friend that her hair-cut looked nice; she immediately replied that my hair looked good too! This is a simple example that we feel uncomfortable receiving a complement and want to give it back without completely receiving it!

What to do if you are uncomfortable receiving even simple complements? The simplest thing is to pause, allow yourself to let the energy of the complement soak into your body, take a deep breath and after few seconds say thank you!

It takes practice to receive with ease! It is actually like giving, it is fun and enjoyable to receive. We all deserve to receive!

You have been a source of food and nourishment for me.

Wind’s whisper echoed in the canyons from the four corners:

Receive with ease our Universal gifts!
