Giving & Receiving

Mouna Chamariq | APR 7, 2020

Giving and receiving is the natural law of nature. The sun gives light to the plants. The plants receive the light energy to live and grow. I invite you to reflect deeper and deeper from the space of your heart on this beautiful interconnectedness of giving and receiving in everyday life. When you are aware of your breath, receiving an inhalation and giving and exhalation, you understand that everything in life exists with both receiving and giving. Let’s practice and invite your heart to bathe in the energy of the word GIVING. Giving a smile. Giving a word of kindness. Giving a flower. Giving attention. Giving time. Giving love. Notice all the feelings raising in your body and your mind. Notice if there is any change in the space of your heart. Does it feel shrinking, expanding? Can you measure the size of your consciousness? Do you put any effort in giving? Now let’s do the same experience with the word receiving. Invite your heart to bathe in the energy of the word RECEIVING. Receiving sunlight. Receiving water. Receiving an in-breath. Receiving a smile. Receiving kindness. Receiving attention. Receiving love. How does that feel? Are you comfortable receiving? Are you open to receive with appreciation without judgement? Do you put any effort in receiving? When giving and receiving flow from the open space of the heart it creates something extraordinary, a feeling of connectedness, togetherness, unity and pure love. When your are giving unconditionally, you are already receiving the joy of giving. It is happening simultaneously just like in every living creation, giving and receiving with unconditional love. Carpe Diem 🙏🏻 As Rumi beautifully said: “those receiving light give out light.”
