Receiving Is As Important As Giving

This was the theme set by Bo in yesterday’s yoga class. I agree.

Sometimes receiving is not easy. Especially for me. I think I am a person who has a lot of pride and feel that I do not need people to give to me. If people give to me, I feel that I become weaker in a way which explains why people give to me as they think I do not have and need them to give me. It almost felt bad.

I love to give especially to family and friends whom I hold dear to me. In fact, sometimes I give too much, and rather suffer than not give.

However as Anthony Robbins mentioned in his personal power tape, we give because we feel great giving, it is pleasurable. But why do we keep giving and refusing receiving and hence depriving others of having this pleasurable feeling? Interesting angle, isn’t it? He’s right and Bo’s right.

One must give joyously and also receive joyously. Only then we will be balanced. ( I can almost see energy flowing in my asanas as I give, extend and then receiving back the energy from the universe hugging in, I breathe in the pose, in and out, like a dance… actually I am imagining flowers all floating around me as I flow through the sequence now… funny…. )

So I must remember to give with my heart and receive with thanks from my heart.

OM~

PS. Today I am good girl. I went for 2 classes, Power 1 and Power 2…. again “can die ah”…. :P
