One of the attitudes in the Dance Your Life series is being OPEN. Think about it. When you are protecting yourself, shut down, closed, your giving and receiving shrinks to match. To receive the abundance of money, love, happiness that is waiting for you from the Universe, you have to be OPEN to receive it.

After recovering from a divorce, my dream was to meet a man to love and who would love me in return. Well, when I remarried, after 12 years of being single and alone, my receiving had shrunk and I didn’t even know it. My new husband was loving me too much. I was trying to receive buckets of love with a thimble worth of receiving. I felt like I was drowning and my husband felt rejected because I wasn’t OPEN to receive all he had to give. I needed to OPEN and expand my ability to receive. And until I did, I was very uncomfortable and so was he. To restrain his love was painful for him, because he was bursting at the seams with it.  He practiced restraint and I practiced expanding.  Together we reached a balance where my OPENNESS to receive matched his desire to give.

When we choose to be OPEN, we can receive all that is waiting for us – love, money, happiness, whatever we think is missing. How OPEN are you to receiving? Practice being more OPEN, so you can receive all that you deserve and dance your life!

With openness, “Life is good. All is well. I am happy.”
