The Art of Giving and Receiving <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to attract good things and feelings into your life, you must send good things out to everyone around you. Giving is one of our greatest joys as well as being a fearless and powerful action. When we trust that there is plenty out there in The Universe, we can give freely. This raises our frequency, strengthens our faith, and puts us in a position to receive abundant amounts in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when we live in fear and hold onto what we have because we don\u2019t trust that there\u2019s any more out there for us, we stifle our energy and create more lack \u2014 the very thing we\u2019re hoping to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving and receiving depend on each other; the more you give, the more you receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving shouldn\u2019t be confused with greedily taking \u2014 that\u2019s a different, negative energy that is fear-based and needy. Giving, similarly, shouldn\u2019t be confused with smothering, which is also fear-based. Giving and receiving are both full of gratitude and surrendering to the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she actually did this \u2014 starting by \u201cgiving\u201d a phone call to a sick friend \u2014 she found herself increasingly joyful and excited. By day 14 she was better physically and her business started booming. She created a blog that started a “29 Gifts” movement of people giving away things daily, leading to a book called 29 Gifts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
