Giving and Receiving

"The entire universe operates in cycles similar to your inhalations and exhalations. When you only exhale (give) or only inhale (receive), you become out of rhythm with the universe. For optimal health, energy, and replenishment, balance each inhalation in your life with an exhalation." The angels sent this card to you because your giving-and-receiving ratio has been out of balance lately. If you've been giving much more than receiving, you've likely been feeling that others are taking advantage of your kindness. If your imbalance is in receiving more than giving, you may have felt uneasy, depressed, or even guilty. While it's impossible to perfectly balance giving and receiving each day, you can strike a healthy balance. To do so, make sure to give something (like time, money, a gift, or compliments) on a daily basis without expecting anything in return. On the same day, be a gracious receiver to unexpected offers of help, compliments, or other gifts. Say "Thank you" without embarrassment or guilt. In relationships where you're the primary giver, express your needs and ask for help. Additional meanings for this card: In your relationships, make sure you both give and receive • The situation you're asking about requires balanced male and female energies • To receive, first you must give • Tithe whatever it is you need more of (time, money, items, and so on) • Affirm: "I now receive good graciously into my life."
