For so long I struggled accepting gifts or favors from others. I thought it meant I would owe them something, I was beholden to them. Reading this book last night in bed I realized the how I was missing the point that to deny this gift is to create disharmony..
Excerpt from the book "Secrets of Shamanism" by Jose Stevens, PH.D and Lena Stevens ~ a gift from my soul sister Sarah Frary
"Therefore, to increase your power and effectiveness - the shaman's proverbial goal - you must develop the capacity to receive with grace and humility. Never refuse a freely given gift, no matter how lowly or how opulent. When you receive another's gift you honor them, and you reinforce the harmony and balance between the spirit world and the ordinary world"
Though I do not regard myself as a shaman, however this excerpt brought me back to the wise woman ways, and the knowing how important honor and balance are for all healing.
