Being Open To Receive
Hello, Lovely,
If you are leaning into your feminine flow, you are going to want to know 3 reasons why it is hard to receive.
When we are shifting from the hustling and doing of the masculine life into the softness of the feminine, it can feel really awkward and uncomfortable when trying to be in a more receptive state.
This state of being open to receive has been coming up in my 1:1 client calls, and so I decided to tip-toe into it a bit here in my Love Letters.
Here are 3 reasons why it is hard to receive…
- Low self worth/value. It is hard to relax into receiving something if we don’t feel “good enough” to receive it. I often think a great example of this when women are given compliments. How do you feel when someone compliments you? Is it hard to receive the compliment? Do you minimize the compliment or deflect the compliment back to the other person?
- Wounded masculine energy. Being in a state of receiving requires you to be relaxed and open, but it is really hard to relax if you feel “unsafe”. Healing your masculine energy will give you the stability, grounding, and safety that you need to be able to relax and trust yourself. For more on this, read my Love Letter “The Wounded Masculine & The Awakened Masculine”.
- Wounded Feminine Energy. You can’t receive if you are over-giving and over-doing for those around you. This “need” to be doing and giving to others in excess can be from either trying to hide behind the giving, or trying to “prove” your worth/value, or trying to control how people think of you. Being open to receive requires vulnerability and it sometimes feels “easier” to not allow our needs and desires to be heard and seen. It feels “easier” to perceive the needs and desires of others and to give first. Some of us have this idea that receiving is “weak” and that giving is more “powerful and strong” because then we don’t “need” anyone or anything. For more on this, check out “The Wounded Feminine & The Awakened Feminine”.
I hope these 3 reasons why it is hard to receive created some clarity for you as you expand in your journey.
