love exchange

one of the big challenges I have found in relationships is receiving another’s love.  Unfortunately I have tended to relate to the ‘giving love’ side of the equation, to which a lot of women can relate.  I have experienced shifts over the course of my life where I have more access to the experience of Love, particularly receiving it.  These I guess has been the result of consciously working towards having this experience more fully.  I even found a Wiki article titled ‘How to Receive Love’

“My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.” Maya Angelou

I decided to list a few ‘try’ points that may help you, if you too have this imbalance in the ‘love exchange’, as per below:

1. Try to let go of controlling those around you to ensure outcomes that you want
2. Try to be emotionally available even when you feel really uncomfortable & vulnerable
3. Try to be honest with your partner
4. Try to ensure that relationship is equal – giving is more controlling than receiving
5. Try to open your heart to yourself & be kind to yourself
6. Try to build up your confidence so that you dont shatter when someone loves you
7. Try to live with the mystery of Love, because on some level there is no reason why it happens
8. Try to be willing to have new experiences that will take you to different places emotionally & through your senses
9. Try to know that you are not surrendering to another person but to a force bigger than both of you – Love
10. Finally & most importantly – try to keep breathing & relax!

Would love your feedback if you feel I’ve missed something & also if you find that any of these techniques work well for you.  Let me know in the comments.

I would like to leave you with a very funny video that shows how we run away from Love & other delights.  Enjoy….
