Manage episode 393025222 series 1273114
Did you know that your nervous system plays a crucial role in your ability to receive? Discover how to expand your capacity to receive love, pleasure, and abundance by creating a safe space within yourself in this insightful solo episode of the Plenty Podcast.
I explore the topic of expanding our capacity to receive and how our ability to receive is closely tied to our sense of safety and how our nervous system is wired. Our nervous system has a thermostat setting that is based on our childhood experiences and ancestral imprints, which determine what feels safe and familiar to us.
However, in order to expand our capacity to receive, we need to signal to our bodies that we are safe. In this episode I share practical tools for doing this, such as noticing gravity and orienting ourselves to our immediate environment. I also cover the importance of feeling and processing emotions to clear out any stuck energy that may be blocking our ability to receive. By practicing these techniques, we can gradually expand our capacity to receive and create a more abundant and joyful life.
