The Universal Law of Giving and the Holidays

[wp_campaign_1]

Since we are in full swing of the “Holiday Season” I thought it would be a great idea to talk about the Universal Law of Giving. In some circles this is called the Law of Reciprocity. I, personally, like calling it the Law of Giving. Or, even better, the Law of Giving and Receiving.

Deepak Chopra tells us “The universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe…. And , our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.”

What Dr. Chopra is saying is that by giving, the universe must respond and give back to us. Something that is very important to realize is that our giving must be with no expectation of “getting back”. One of my mentors, Bob Proctor, said this very simply; “We must willingly give and graciously receive.”

You may be thinking to yourself “I’m broke. I have nothing to give.” I have to tell you that you are truly mistaken in that comment. Giving isn’t just giving something of monetary value. Giving of yourself is probably the greatest gift you can give.

Try this for a week: Give every person you encounter, in person or over the phone, the beautiful gift of your smile. This may be in the form of just smiling at them, making them laugh, or paying them a compliment. I would bet that, after a week, you will want to continue this for a longer period of time!

You will notice that this practice of giving to everyone you meet will raise your positive vibration. You will actually feel better. You will also notice that good things start coming your way unexpectedly. This is the Law of Attraction at work. Since you are sending out good, more good is coming back to you. Energy must always return to it source.

Until next time……SMILE!!
