The Art of Receiving: How to Open Your Energy to Guidance, Love & Abundance

We often talk about manifestation, intuition, and spiritual alignment—but one of the most overlooked (and deeply transformational) practices is learning to receive. It sounds simple, but many of us unknowingly block the very things we desire: love, abundance, guidance, and support.

Receiving isn’t passive. It’s an energetic openness, a willingness to allow the universe to deliver what we’ve been asking for. It’s trusting that you are worthy of good things and creating space for them to arrive.

Here’s how to open your energy and embrace the art of receiving.

Recognise Where You May Be Blocking

Receiving starts with awareness. Ask yourself:

• Do I feel uncomfortable being given help, compliments, or kindness?

• Do I overgive and struggle to receive in return?

• Do I feel unworthy of the things I truly want?

• Do I believe things have to be hard to be valuable?

If you answered yes to any of these, you might be subconsciously resisting the very blessings you’re trying to attract. Awareness is the first step toward shifting this.

Understand the Energy of Receiving
To receive, your energy must be open, soft, and receptive—not grasping or forcing. Manifestation isn’t about chasing; it’s about aligning and allowing.

When you’re in receiving energy:

• You trust that what you’ve asked for is on its way.

• You create space for new opportunities to land.

• You let go of overthinking and allow things to unfold naturally.

• You embody deservingness, not desperation.

Shift from Resistance to Openness
Here are ways to open yourself energetically:

• Practice saying yes to support, compliments, and small gifts without guilt.

• Tune into how it feels to receive with grace rather than obligation.

• Clear limiting beliefs around self-worth or scarcity.

• Release control—stop micromanaging the “how” and “when.”

• Relax your nervous system through breathwork or stillness.

The more you feel safe receiving, the more you allow abundance to flow.

Create Space to Receive
You can’t pour into a full cup—and the universe can’t give to you if there’s no room to receive. Create physical, mental, and emotional space:

• Declutter your space to invite new energy.

• Take quiet time to reflect and connect with your intuition.

• Say no to things that drain you, so you have energy for what lights you up.

Opening your energy means trusting that rest, space, and softness are productive too.

Practice Receiving Daily
Receiving is a muscle you strengthen over time. Try:

• Gratitude journaling to acknowledge what’s already arriving.

• Affirmations like “I am open to receive with ease” or “I allow love and abundance into my life.”

• Spiritual rituals where you light a candle or sit in meditation simply to be open and receptive.

Even five minutes of intentional openness can shift your entire energy field.

The universe is constantly offering guidance, support, and blessings—but you have to meet it halfway. Receiving is a co-creative act: it says “I trust, I allow, and I’m ready.”
