Are You Ready to Receive?
By : Carol Look EFT Master
********************
You’ve decided what you want, you’ve practiced all the steps to make the Law of Attraction work in your favor… you’ve dreamed about having outrageous personal and professional success, you’ve “acted AS IF” you are already enjoying the abundance that you desire… but are you really ready to receive it?
What do I mean, “ready”?
What I mean by being ready is that while we dutifully follow all the steps for the Law of Attraction to bring us what we want in our lives, we unwittingly sabotage attracting abundance because we aren’t congruent, or “ready to receive” what we have been so diligently asking for! Being ready means that we are in alignment with what we want with our head, heart and gut… that we are completely congruent consciously and unconsciously… that EVERY PART of us thinks it’s a good idea to receive abundance.
What are some of the reasons we aren’t “ready” to receive?
(1) We are afraid of change…
(2) We negatively anticipate other people’s reactions to us…
(3) We still haven’t cleared our limiting beliefs from our family or origin…
(4) We still don’t feel “deserving” of success (low self-esteem issues)…
(5) We don’t feel SAFE when picturing ourselves with abundance (or success)
Countless clients and workshop participants come to me because they believe they have “done everything right” but are still not “getting” what they have “asked” the Universe for through their Law of Attraction and meridian tapping exercises.
When I ask them, “Are you ready to receive?” they immediately respond, “Of course, why wouldn’t I be?” Then I ask them the following questions to get to these reasons:
Do you feel safe when you think about receiving abundance/success?
Do you feel congruent when you picture the “new you”?
What’s the “downside” to getting what you want?
Are you worried about anybody’s reactions to your newfound success?
How do you feel about changing your life?
Are you anxious about how others will react to you?
Have you considered “identity issues” — (who will you be?) — when you finally get what you want?
Usually one or more of these questions leads them to get the AHA and understand that the ONLY reason they haven’t yet received what they have been asking the Universe for is because they are not congruent with success, they are not actually “ready to receive” it. They (their minds) have been protecting them from receiving, because for one or more reasons, the thought of actually receiving success or abundance doesn’t feel right, congruent or safe to their entire being.
When you are completely “ready to receive” through
emotional congruence, you will receive what you
have been asking for… until then, the Universe
“hears” your ambivalence and doesn’t send
you what you want.
You may think you are “ready to receive” but if you aren’t receiving, there’s a good chance that you are still struggling with issues of congruence, identity, or safety.
Here’s the GOOD NEWS: This is unbelievably common, and incredibly simple to shift with EFT/meridian tapping! Beliefs, fears, not feeling safe are just examples of “tappable issues” and can be handled by tapping on the emotional conflicts and clearing them out of your energy system.
You may use tapping sequences for any of the blocks you identified above, (“Even though I’m afraid of how they might react to my being successful…”) but I recommend that you start with the EFT setup phrases below which identify the energetic truth that you have not been “ready to receive.”
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES:
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
“Even though I didn’t know I wasn’t ready to receive abundance, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”
“Even though I thought I was ready but wasn’t, I accept who I am and now feel ready and congruent.”
“Even though I didn’t know I was afraid to receive what I was asking for, I accept who I am and how I feel.”
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)
***Now for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: “I thought I was ready to receive all along.“
Side of Eye: “I haven’t been ready to receive abundance.”
Under Eye: “But now I am.”
Nose: “I didn’t know I had all those blocks to success.”
Chin: “But now I do… and can clear them.”
Collarbone: “I had all these blocks to receiving abundance.”
Under Arm: “I didn’t feel safe changing.”
Head: “I wasn’t ready to receive the abundance I was asking for.“
(Notice the “past tense” wording…)
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: “Now I know my blocks and can release them.”
Side of Eye: “I feel relieved that I understand the blocks.”
Under Eye: “No wonder Law of Attraction wasn’t working for me.”
Nose: “I was blocking my ability to receive.”
Chin: “Now I really want to receive…. and feel ready!”
Collarbone: “I choose to receive the abundance I’ve been asking for.”
Under Arm: “I love knowing I can be safe receiving success.”
Head: “I love knowing I am allowing success and abundance into my life.”
Access more positive vibrations with the Law of Attraction by repeating the following phrases (while tapping or not) or ones that suit your situation:
Thank You, Universe for releasing all the blocks to my receiving abundance in my life.
Thank You, Universe for guiding me how to identify and release these blocks to abundance.
Thank You, Universe for showing me all the signs I need to know that I am ready to receive the abundance I have been asking for in my life.
Keep tapping, and enjoy using the Law of Attraction to bring more of what you want into your life!
