Giving and Receiving - two different channels

Something really impressive I learned today is the following:

I first want to give you some context.

I am very new to the feminine and masculine energy concept.

At its core, here’s what it is:

• In masculine energy, you lean forward and do things for others.
• In feminine energy, it has more to do with leaning back and receiving.

(And it doesn’t have anything to do with being male or female.)

I am very much a leaning-forward person—constantly doing for others and then feeling bitter because I did so much.

And then I find myself expecting to receive from others because I did so much. This is not how it works.

There are two different channels:

1. The Giving Channel – In this channel, I give and offer as much as I feel happy to do.
2. The Receiving Channel – This has nothing to do with the giving channel. It’s about how good I am at receiving.

I am not good at receiving at all. I constantly try to control everything. So, I am learning to lean back and receive.

A good receiver is such a pleasurable thing to be around. I mean, if you give someone a present and they are so happy about it, it makes the giver happy too!

Talking about giving and receiving just before Christmas hihi.

We sometimes feel guilty if someone gives us a present—we feel we must give one back.
But it’s not about that; it’s about receiving it!

You may give this person something you don’t even realize, and it might not be a physical thing.

So, let’s untangle giving and receiving.

It’s still tangled in my mind with the whole fairness concept I was taught as a child.

But it feels good to talk about this. My goal is to step more into receiving and leaning back. :)

Anyone else?

I am going to create a list to note down everything I receive. This can include the simplest things, like a breath of fresh air.
