What Can You Receive?

Find out how to receive spiritual gifts

Most spiritual paths focus on receptivity as the key to growth. Spirituality is not about conquering or attaining, but receiving. Open yourself to these spiritual gifts.

Yoga Perspectives, Receptivity
  • John 1:12 — But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons, the daughters of God
  • Rabbi David Aaron’s (Endless Light) writes that the Kabbalah means receptivity, the art of learning to receive
  • Spiritual realizations come from opening up and receiving
  • Jesus’s main message is about receiving. Mark 10:15 — Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter into it
  • Yogis say that to know Christ Consciousness, the awareness of Spirit everywhere, we must receive it
  • Learn how yoga prepares us to receive

Open to Spirit

Spirit itself and its fruits are available to us. But we have to open to them. We need to awaken to their presence and give them room in our awareness. How can we receive? We need to open body, mind, heart and ego. Open and even greet what God wants to give us. That’s what meditation is and prayer can be — opening, making room and receiving. During your meditations focus on opening and receiving and awakening to the fruits of the Spirit.
