			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>one of the big challenges I have found in relationships is receiving another&#8217;s love.  Unfortunately I have tended to relate to the &#8216;giving love&#8217; 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 <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Receive-Love" target="_blank">&#8216;How to Receive Love&#8217;<br />
</a></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/Frozenlove102120607.jpg"><img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/Frozenlove102120607.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy HowtoGeek: Awesome Desktop Wallpapers: the Abstract Art Edition</p></div><span id="more-1103"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;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.&#8221; <a class="zem_slink" title="Maya Angelou" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0029723/">Maya Angelou</a></em></p>
<p>I decided to list a few &#8216;try&#8217; points that may help you, if you too have this imbalance in the &#8216;love exchange&#8217;, as per below:</p>
<ol>
<li>Try to let go of controlling those around you to ensure outcomes that you want</li>
<li>Try to be emotionally available even when you feel really uncomfortable &amp; vulnerable</li>
<li>Try to be honest with your partner</li>
<li>Try to ensure that relationship is equal &#8211; giving is more controlling than receiving</li>
<li>Try to open your heart to yourself &amp; be kind to yourself</li>
<li>Try to build up your confidence so that you dont shatter when someone loves you</li>
<li>Try to live with the mystery of Love, because on some level there is no reason why it happens</li>
<li>Try to be willing to have new experiences that will take you to different places emotionally &amp; through your senses</li>
<li>Try to know that you are not surrendering to another person but to a force bigger than both of you &#8211; Love</li>
<li>Finally &amp; most importantly &#8211; try to keep breathing &amp; relax!</li>
</ol>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;There is no love sincerer than the love of food.&#8221; <a class="zem_slink" title="George Bernard Shaw" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0789737/">George Bernard Shaw</a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also found another article that may interest you called <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Attract-Love-By-Allowing-Yourself-To-Receive-It&amp;id=762166" target="_blank">Attract Love by Allowing Yourself to Receive It</a> by Enoch Tan.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Would love your feedback if you feel I&#8217;ve missed something &amp; also if you find that any of these techniques work well for you.  Let me know in the comments.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I would like to leave you with a very funny video that shows how we run away from Love &amp; other delights.  Enjoy&#8230;.</p>
