Let It In

From section 53 of Come Home To Your Light: 111 Practices for a Soul-Led Life.

Many of us are far better at giving than receiving. We'll drop everything for a friend, then brush off the same kindness when it comes back to us.

Yet receiving and giving belong together, like breathing in and breathing out: one cycle, not two.

Find a quiet space where you can close your eyes and won't be disturbed for around 6 minutes. Headphones help.

Let It In Meditation

Carry it into your day

The next time someone offers you something (a compliment, a hand, even their seat), resist the reflex to wave it away. Simply say thank you, and let yourself receive it.
