Stopping is the subtlest, and I’ve come to see, the most critical part of receiving. A story will help us here. I ran track back in high school (yes, I was fast in the old days!). I ran on relay teams in different positions. You wait for the runner
ahead of you to hand you the baton and the hand off is CRITICAL. If you blow the handoff, you can lose the entire race.
What was hard? We had to hand off the baton from a runner at the END of her race to a fresh runner STARTING her race. We were both MOVING. It is hard to give something TO a moving target and Alphas won’t stop moving!
You keep pushing,
trying, asking, convincing. Even after you say, "I’m done. I’m resting. I’ve let it go." You. Have. NOT. Your brain keeps gnawing at it. It keeps you up at night. Familiar?
Do you know why most miracles occur in the 11th hour at the very last moment? Because THAT is the very first moment you were willing to put down the baton that you are running with. That is when you are soo exhausted, that you stop by
falling to the ground in pure fatigue. You simply cannot go any farther.
To receive from a friend, a loved one, a company, your Source or anything easily, you need to STOP making everyone chase your moving target!
This is why prayer works. This is why mediation works. These activities slow you down & pause you so that your good can catch up to you. It would shock you to know that
your good is in fact chasing you and you keep moving.
When you want to receive something, use this affirmation or mantra (personalize it with your own words):
I am stopping now. I am done trying to make __________ work/happen. I am ready to receive guidance/help
however it arrives. Help me get out of the way and clear the path for my good to easily reach me.
