One
of the things that really strikes me about the Holiday Season is how we
all spend it in different ways. For some, it is still a religious
holiday, though more and more it has become an occasion for gift
giving and connecting with family. Though some may lament what appears to be an increasingly commercial
spin on a religious holiday, giving and receiving gifts can also teach
us an important spiritual lesson.
On
a physical level, everything we do consumes some of our personal
energy. This includes eating, thinking, working, and even taking time to
help others. It's important to to rest and recharge your batteries,
especially if you are generous with your time and energy.
Helping others
also uses up our energy, and many healers do this at their expense. This is when fatigue sets in
and we become susceptible to cold and flu bugs (for example). If the
energy leak is prolonged we may be stopped in our tracks by an illness; this is how our body often asks for rest and self-care. By learning to give, receive and rest (giving to ourselves) we
look after our physical health.
On
a material level we attract abundance into our life by sharing. When
you give with joy and with the knowledge that there is a lot more where
that came from, you send a message to the universe that allows you to
receive more. The size or price of the gift doesn't matter, what matters
is giving without feeling any stinginess or pain (at spending too
much). Stingy feelings tell the Universe that we don't have enough, and that message is reflected back to us with a reduced flow of
financial and material blessings. We can give our time, attention and love as well as material gifts. So when you give this holiday
season, give with joy, and receive with joy and appreciation.
Appreciating all kinds of gifts opens us up to receive even more good in our lives. Receiving with grace tells the Universe that we will welcome its gifts gladly. We also grow by celebrating the blessings in other people's lives.
