Creating a flow of abundance in our lives requires a harmonious balance of giving and receiving without expectations or conditions. When we practice the mutual exchange of giving and receiving, we become the energetic conduit for directing this flow of energy. This mutual exchange of light energy is governed by the spiritual law of circulation. We sustain loving, positive energy in circulation by what we think, feel, say and do. And, when we transmit energy in this way from our heart, we affect everyone and everything in the universe.
Many of us think that we can create a flow of abundance by forcing something to happen or giving with an expectation that we should receive something in return. Yet, we often feel disappointed when our will or conditional generosity doesn’t produce the expected results. Although our intentions may be good, we can unintentionally block the natural flow of our energies by focusing on the outcome instead of trusting that we are creating exactly what we need at this particular time.
When we let go of the mindset that we deserve to receive gifts based on giving gifts, abundance can flow freely in and out of our lives. Sustaining this flow of abundance does not depend on some credit and debit spreadsheet. When we give and receive beyond any expectation or condition, the harmonious balance of our energies is naturally restored. Moreover, we experience the flow of abundance when we give for the sake of giving, share for the sake of sharing, and love for the sake of loving with no strings attached.
You may find it difficult divesting yourself of your expectations and may need to look within to find the root of your inability to give and receive unconditionally. Check in with yourself when you give or receive a gift and ask yourself if there is something you unconsciously hope to receive in return or are you having difficulty receiving love in the form of compliments, gifts or kindness. When you give a gift, pay a bill or offer to assist someone, do so without any condition blessing yourself and the other person.
To give more generously, we have to receive more graciously. This mutual exchange of loving energy creates a flow of abundance in our lives. For us to love more, we have to allow more love in. For us to have more abundance, we have to let go of our need to be in control and trust that while like inevitably attracts like, it does so on its own divine timetable. The important aspect of this mutual exchange is sustaining the flow of positive energy, not the form it takes. Opening our hearts creates a flow of abundance that stands alone, separate from any and all conditions. It is an energetic gift in and of itself which brings us blessings a million times over.
Thank you.
Your so welcome David. Thanks for checking in.
Great article! Very well said! Thanks so much – I am sharing to my networks! Namaste Jwls
So grateful that you enjoyed the article. And thank you for sharing with your networks, Namaste to you as well.
Such an important message for women thanks Debra. I think for so many of us with Catholic origins, there has been a feeling of guilt associated with receiving abundance. I’m so happy to release that conditioning gracefully. Thanks for sharing your message.
Thank you Lisa for your awesome comment. I have a little of that conditioning too and gratefully releasing it and letting abundance in…
Lovely post and so true, when we let go of expectations we create an opening for good to flow in.
Thank Rachel for your comment and all the sweetness you bring!
“To give more generously, we have to receive more graciously.” Beautiful wisdom! Abundance is flow not forced. Thank you Debra
Thank you Jacqueline for your comment and taking the time to read my post. Love our connection as Visionary Female Authors!
Hi Debra, I love writings about abundance anything that helps us keep the flow open to good! I agree it is important to let go of expectations or the result we believe we will get and be open to the process of abundance. The universe does respond in kind.
Thank you Lisa for your insight and your beautiful being!
So true , I say that abundance flows from the wings of gratitude 🙂
I love this Suzie…beautiful
Thank you! Here’s my favorite bit: “To give more generously, we have to receive more graciously.” It can be so hard to receive positive energy, but when we do such beautiful abundance flows right to us!
So true Dina that for many of us it’s hard to receive but without it our energy for giving becomes depleted. Thank you for your time and energy dear Dina
Beautifully written, as always Debra. Thanks for sharing your “Heart Paths” with ours!
Thank you Jan and yes I do always come from my heart of hearts. Blessings dear heart
I love this quote >> “To give more generously, we have to receive more graciously. This mutual exchange of loving energy creates a flow of abundance in our lives.” My life has become so much more abundant since I began to focus on allowing and receiving. Blessings to you sweet Debra!
That’s my favorite quote too Shann and it’s going in my new book on Being Love. Yes allowing and receiving open us to abundance…and I feel that way too in my life. Blessings to you beautiful Shann
Debra,
I like the statement to give more generously you have to receive more generously. I believe this is especially hard for women to do because we tend to be the “giver” but not the best at being the “receiver”. We need to get in the habit and not be ashamed of asking for help and taking the help when given. Nice post Debra.
Yes Teresa we as women do need more practice receiving and asking for help. That’s when our energies are most balanced. Thank you for commenting and sharing your beautiful self!
Debra, I love the “spiritual law of circulation” but don’t believe I’ve heard it called that. I do believe that when we relinquish control and give more freely, it creates the open space to be filled with abundance. It is a hard concept in times when we feel there isn’t enough (money, love, time, etc.) but it becomes an exercise of trust. As you mention, the rewards for trusting and letting go are almost beyond comprehension. Thanks for sharing this post.
Thanks Deb for your insightful comment. Always honored when you read and comment on my blog. Your wisdom is so valuable sweet Deb. Blessings
