We often speak of acceptance and allowing as being vital parts of the enlightenment process. We do mean it in the sense of practicing non-judgement for those you encounter on your path. But it also has a further meaning, and that is to accept and allow the gifts the universe is trying to bestow upon you. In order to allow your desires to come to fruition, you must be energetically ready to receive them, or practicing acceptance by allowing the universe to deliver to you.
Many helper souls do well with giving but struggle with receiving, which creates an imbalance. To be an open vessel for the flow of abundance, you must embrace both giving and receiving. A lovely affirmation to assist with this can be simply, “I accept. Thank you.” ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
