The Universal flow of abundance is limitless. Allow yourself to receive the abundance of the Universe.

Opening to Receiving

by Shirley Knapp

Our hearts need a good massage.

Many of us hold our hearts so tightly in with fear that our hearts need a good massage. We need to breathe through the heart, relax through the heart, love through the heart, and open the heart to receiving love. This is a heartfelt energy, and we need to open to it, because no one can come to a door that’s closed. They wouldn't bother.

So for those of you who say, “I don't understand; I don't attract anyone,” look at the door of your heart. If you have a “closed” sign on it, no one will show up. When you open that door, many show up. They come with all kinds of gifts, if it’s financial, if it’s love, if it’s opportunities, whatever. If you’re holding your energy closed, that piece of whatever you’re closed to can bind you. So anytime you look at the issues of conflict and resistance, or it feels like that piece isn't coming to you, it’s because you’re not allowing for the piece to be received.

The Universal flow of abundance is limitless

Allow yourself to receive the abundance of the Universe. Allow yourself to receive the energy of Love, true unconditional love without fear. Allow yourself to receive the energy and the true love and healing of who you are.
The Universe is bringing you all that you need now. All you need do is ask. Much like you go to the restaurant and order from a menu, just order what you wish, and it will be brought to you. But just as you are ordering from a restaurant, order what is delightful and peaceful to the palate, not what is in the budget. If you order bread and water, this is what will be brought to you, so order from the highest categories, and you will also receive the newness of that highest.

If there are hesitations in your asking, you may explore this as the universe provides for you that which you wish for. This is the time to think and dream big and make sure your dream is “doubled” just so that you get accustomed to the stretch in opening your heart. Over and over in your life, you will see small ways in which this is performed and brought to you, and you will laugh. You will laugh at the signs; you will laugh with great humor at the ways these things fall into place.
Laughter, as you know, makes the heart so light.

The more you laugh, the lighter you dance.

When the signs of your asking are shown to you, it is important not to mentally evaluate and question the magic. These manifestations are a direct result of your opening your heart to receiving and having faith in the Universal laws. This is also an important time to share with those around you what you have accomplished and brought to you so that they may begin the exercise and share with others. Our limited thoughts keep us in our own limitation. What an abundant world we live in when we open to receiving.


Expect Miracles.

Without asking, you do not expand into the next level of your consciousness. Most of us ask far too little of the Universe. Dare to acknowledge your deepest dreams and desires and dare to ask the Universe. Dare to ask big, and then open yourself to receiving. Expect miracles and stay open to receiving all the Universe has to offer.

An Exercise:

1.Focus on areas in your life where you have not yet dared to ask for the abundance.


2. Affirm to the Universe, either through visualization, meditation, or in writing that you are formally asking for and are open to receiving whatever it is that you most desire.


I, do hereby ask the Universe for _____________

I will accept this gift from the Universe in whatever forms it presents itself and acknowledge that everything that is sent to me will be for my highest good. I give thanks in advance.

Signed _____________on this ___ day of_______.
(Month) (Year)

3. What you received and when.
