Hi,
This is Corinne Clements.
And you are listening to the I Allow Myself to Receive meditation.
Allowing yourself to come into a comfortable position,
Maybe seated or lying down.
Noticing how much of your life is spent giving.
Giving to others.
Doing things for them.
To your family,
Partner,
Children,
Parents,
Siblings.
Grandparents,
Aunts,
Uncles,
Cousins.
To your friends.
To your work colleagues.
To your boss.
Notice just how much of life is spent giving,
Doing.
And then this very yon energy,
Outward motion.
And in this meditation,
You'll be shifting to that inward focus.
The yin side.
Allowing yourself to receive.
Notice how the idea of receiving feels to you.
If you spend much of your life in the giving,
It may feel very difficult to receive.
If somebody says something nice to you,
Compliments you on how you look or what you're wearing or what you've done,
Do you accept it?
Do you say thank you and smile?
Or do you push it away?
Do you say,
Oh this old thing,
I got it at a charity shop.
Or,
Oh it's nothing,
It really needs this,
This,
And this.
It's not quite right.
I wish I had time to do this.
Notice how you may deflect.
Words,
Compliments,
Praise.
Noticing help.
Do you allow yourself to receive help?
Or do you push it away too?
Saying,
Oh I can do it myself.
Taking a deep breath in.
Allowing yourself to receive that air.
You need that air.
Or go to every cell supplying out with oxygen.
In return,
Carbon dioxide leaves your body on the exhale,
That giving.
Could you imagine if you just tried to breathe out all the time?
How would you feel?
But you allow the air to come in to fill you.
And as you allow the air to come in,
Notice how you can begin to feel that you can start to receive compliments,
Help.
Notice that feeling,
Allowing yourself to receive.
And you can use the words repeating to yourself,
I allow myself to receive.
I allow myself to receive.
I allow myself to receive air,
Oxygen.
I allow myself to receive compliments,
Praise.
I allow myself to receive help,
Assistance.
Knowing that by accepting these does not make you any less.
Your need for air does not make you any less.
Allowing yourself to receive air.
And with the air,
Compliments,
Help too.
Notice how it feels to receive.
Whether there's any resistance within you still.
Or you're starting to feel already how good it can be to receive.
How good it can feel to allow others to give to you.
To give compliments,
To give help.
And noticing how you can expand this out.
Allowing yourself to receive even more.
Where else have you been blocking,
Refusing to allow the universe?
To allow God,
If that's what you believe,
To give to you.
You've likely asked for so many things over the years.
Maybe that was on your knees in prayer.
Maybe it was out loud to friends.
Maybe it came out as a complaint.
But you've asked for things.
And when they may start to show up in ways that you might not expect.
You've said,
No thanks.
I can do it myself.
I don't need that right now.
Though this little thing is nothing really.
But now that you've already noticed how good it feels to receive.
You can open yourself up to receive all that you have already asked for.
One way to do this is to imagine or doing it now,
Expanding your arms out.
Palms raised.
Feeling that you are receiving all that you've ever asked for.
All that you wanted,
Requested.
But in the past you've pushed away.
Now reach out.
Grab it,
Take it.
And bring it back into yourself.
If you had the arms out,
Draw them in or imagine bringing them in.
Feeling all these things within you.
They're yours.
The universe was just waiting.
Waiting for you to open your arms.
To say thank you.
And doing that now,
Saying thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And as you allow yourself to receive all that you've ever asked for in the past.
Knowing you can make requests,
You can pray,
You can ask.
And it is given.
It is waiting for you.
To open your arms,
To reach out.
To take it back within you.
And be thankful for it.
So noticing one thing right now that you want.
Maybe you've wanted it for a while,
Maybe it's just something that's come up.
Could be a new job.
Could be money.
Could be a new outfit.
Could be a relationship.
Could be more energy,
Better sleep,
Whatever it is,
Notice it.
And now,
Once again,
Imagine or actually reach out,
Open your arms.
And feel the universe.
Or perhaps the Lord reaching back to you,
Passing it to you.
And you feel it in your arms,
Taking it.
And bringing it back within you.
Feel how good it feels to receive that which you want.
It's been given.
You allow yourself to receive it fully.
Noticing how you feel.
Maybe it's a lightness,
Like all your cells are singing to you.
It's like joy bubbling up within.
Allow yourself to stay with these feelings.
To stay with these sensations.
And maybe you also can imagine sights and sounds.
Feeling that this is already here,
Already true.
What do you notice now?
From this place of having already received what it is that you want.
It's yours.
Enjoy it.
Maybe you simply say thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait.
Perhaps you hear people saying things to you.
Maybe you see yourself in the mirror,
What you look like.
Just everything from inside and outside.
Allowing yourself to receive fully.
Bringing the arms down by your side or on your lap if you've not already done so.
Allowing yourself to rest into a deeper state of receiving.
Receiving all the universe has for you.
Things even beyond your wildest imagination.
What if you could reach out and say,
All that my highest self wants for me,
I receive it now.
I allow myself to receive.
Saying that to yourself.
Maybe if no one's around you can even say it out loud.
I allow myself to receive.
I allow myself to receive.
I allow myself to receive fully,
Completely,
Wholly,
All that the Lord,
All that my highest self has for me.
For I know the plans I have for you,
To prosper you.
Allow yourself to receive.
And bring all of that within you.
More than the grains of sand,
More than the stars in the sky,
Is all yours.
Feel it within you.
Within every cell within you.
Allowing yourself to receive wholly,
Completely.
And from this place of receiving wholly,
Completely,
Noticing that shift,
That change,
So that when you open your eyes and continue on with your day,
That you know you have already received all the wonders that are in store for you.
You feel them within.
As you walk through life knowing it might be around the next corner,
Might be down the next hill,
But it is there waiting for you.
And when you see it,
Run open arms,
Reach out,
Grab it,
Hug it,
Bring it in within.
Allow yourself to receive.
Knowing just how good it feels now.
The yin,
The receiving within me,
Sees and honours the yin,
The receiving within you.
Namaste.
