| Understanding Receive Practice 
 
 
 
 RECEIVING BEHAVIOR
 
Accept Compliments= Accept graciously, say thank you.IF Life gives to those who cannot receive THEN as soon as can receive, life gives.Celebrate life’s giving:
Receive the pleasure of living in a world where people compliment you, are kind to you & considerate of you. Be genuinely appreciative. Be excited by it! Celebrate! Life’s abundance is everywhere... and the more you notice it, the more life gives.
Gratitude / Appreciation= being receptive to life’s abundanceIs within a person (completely independent of external circumstances)inc focus on gratitude -> inc capacity to receiveReceive manifest goals bc they appreciate goalsGratitude rules (to strengthen receive Muscles)
Say you are grateful (Giver appreciated & inc probability that Give again)No degree of gratitude (not more grateful for one thing over other. Brain just registers “gratefulness”)
Be Authentic / Self-RevealingIF embrace wholeness THEN others will also
easier to bond when come across as human (kindred spirit) / is relaxing to be in the presence of imperfect being & easier to manifest when relaxed.
-> declaration of wholenessComplaints Fast= No complaints about your story (telling your victim story)because IF complain about your Goal THEN Goal scared away / people scared awaycomplaints
push away (do not draw things towards you)discharge energy (w/o changing outcome)are about story - rather than feelings
DO stay in touch w/feelings (receive circumstances) (ex. feel unappreciated)DO NOT catalog injustices (deflect circumstances) (ex. whine of boss & job)=> when talk about FEELINGS - both you and others relate
speak your EXPERIENCES, not your storylineIF impulse to complain THEN check w/emotions instead-> can make choices about circumstances that are distressing
 
 RECEIVING UNIVERSAL VIEW
 
Change "good person" cultural view => "whole person" Universal viewproblem: The societal “good person” role - tells what should give & not what want to give.
Considered selfish, if someone could benefit from your time, attention, helpIF you dn see yourself as important THEN why would you Goal perceive you as ideal choice for manifesting its desire. Broadcasting to yourself/others that you are a “good person” whose needs & desires are less important than those of others!examples.
IF goal = better job THEN there is a better candidate than you.IF goal = attract great relationship THEN that wonderful person will be attracted to someone else - the one whose desires are more important than yours.IF goal - inc income THEN money will find someone who dn feel that someone else could use it more than you.
solution: be authentic whole person in Universe 
problem: Punish-Reward Paradigm - culturally, personally biased
 solution: Receive info from Nature/Universe (so get all info, non-skewed info -> inc chance of better decisions)
 
Receiving is Spiritual / Universal / NetworkMonk story: after religious training -> beg for alms= declaration of unity (Giver-Receiver are One)
We are all in this togetherExperience pleasure of grateful recipient-> obvious at that moment that giving-receiving are flip sides of the same coin.
exercise:
Think of Self as monk w/bowl, red to receive love, kindness, respect, affection.Think of Goal as person who wants to honor you & give to you.
Help Goal & Yourself by seeing Receiving as an act of generosity that demonstrates your wholeness & your connection with others.Unity Principle includes Youemotions
Need acknowledgement to be receivedAccepting/Receiving -> is recognize that are part of being human.They come & go like a wave in ocean <Dala Lama>
including Self 
means you are integral part of whole (universe, world, community, family, relationship)(vs. exclude - think of others more worthy than self)
unified Self 
all parts of self includes
difficult unhealed partseasy to embrace, healed parts
(vs. un-unified self = disowned aspects (in shadow, subconscious)
parts not acknowledged in self, we are drawn to in others)
=> integrating, receiving, embracing all aspects of self ->
Prevents us from becoming involved w/unhealthy relationshipsPowerful expression of Self-love
DO NOT set up blocks for Goal to reach You (include you)
skewed thinking:
Need to “fix self” bf do goalConclude there is no chance of success bf investigating
 
 RECEIVING GOALS 
What do You want?Not knowing what want - symptom of not knowing how to receive.
how can you know, when gate
dn swing towards you (receiving)only swings away from you (giving)
Easy to state what dn want - vague/fuzzy when explain what do want.reality: wanting something yourself is as natural as wanting something for someone else.Dealing with not getting what want: Disappointment - natural when want something & dn get it.
soln. cultivate ability to sit w/disappointment
Asking for anything -> risk of rejection - which is ok
DN objective = get everything ask for
No healthy relationship about getting everything wantbc will never ask for anything unless can predict outcome.
DO ask -> tf stating that do have needs. Demonstrating comfort stating needs.
One asked for what want -> answer may come in guise that least expect
(BUT IF dn ask THEN no chance for mysterious/synchronous/magical ways to speak to us)
 
 
Cinderella goes to rehab 
Cinderella’s wish “I want to go to the ball.”Unified Universe = no thing, no one separate (no division between self and others)Cinderella:
broke out of victim role catering to (sweeping up after wicked stepmother & stepsisters)-> made a wish (go to dance, want great dress)
	tf she included herself in vision of the world. She dn make herself, her desire less imp than stepsisters-> miracle manifestation (fairy god mother show’s up)
prob. where we get stuck:
Feel that cn make personal wish unless we include, at same time wish for end of homelessness and hunger
soln. artificial distinction - separates you from others
false logic - how can effectively wish for world peace if unable to make wish for yourself?
Cinderella cont:
Her wish to go to ball -> transformed lives around her -> stepmothers, stepsisters, prince, kingdom flourished thru circumstances from that 1 wish.
Exercise: Send Cinderella to Rehab (3 pages “I want[fill in blank]’)Self-discovery exercise - find out what want for self/ include self in world vision 
DO include everything- your wholenessDN desire for peace & goodwill / good homes for all kids -> bc already know you want those things
purpose:
cleaning out debris of hose (debris holding everything else back)(ie. parts you feel guilty, geeked out, weirded out, embarrassed about)
Takes “sting” out of being human (voice part not showcased but exists in all humans -> tf greedier, grabbier wants, the better!
