Two weeks ago something was mirrored back to me that shocked me.
I’d traveled to Chicago for a speech and workshop. After a long day of travel, visiting with a local friend, and getting to Whole Foods so I could stock my fridge with organic vegan goodness, I was tired.
I thought to myself, I would love to have some help carrying my bags.
I walked into the hotel lobby to be greeted by a woman who said: “Welcome Mrs. Groover. You are our guest of the day!”
What happened after that humbled me at how easy I still reject gifts that the Universe wants to send to me.
Find out about the magic moment that occurred and the unconscious choice I made that surprised me here.
I believe my story may mirror your life in some way. It’s a short video with your weekly practice.
RESOURCE OF THE WEEK
We are hitting the road for an international book tour this year. My new book Divine Breadcrumbs: A Search for True Love and Enlightenment is being released in a few weeks.
I will be traveling in the USA and Australia and I’m open to speak to your group. Are you part of a group of World-Changers, Light-Workers, Conscious Entrepreneurs, or a community that is dedicated to their own personal growth? If you have a group of 50 or more people, let me know and I could possibly stop by and speak for free. It might be a business networking group, church, book club, or annual conference. Reach out and we can talk options. I’d love to meet more of our tribe on the road this year.
Much love,
Rachael Jayne
RJ – Thank you!
This is such a clear reminder for awareness! I plan to pay closer attention and really listen to how the Universe is offering gifts to me.
Much love,
Stacy
So interesting!! Your timing is amazing…I really feel like lately I’ve been so open to the Universe and in return, I am receiving so many gifts-and quickly! Little things, like schedule changes I was hoping for, or someone gives my husband a coat when he needed a new one, or a contract job I didn’t want to do anymore, came to an end. I’m being hyper aware of all these gifts and your video is another one! Thank you for this!
This is funny because I did this three times recently. After the
three-day intensive I would have loved to sign up for the year-long training, the professional photograph and the speaking training. But I did not see a sign from God that would indicate that this was a good idea for right now. I was extremely sad that I could not continue at that time and do wonder if I have missed picking up the Divine Breadcrumbs. I am happy that two wonderful friends did sign up and that I can matriculate vicariously through them but I really miss the new friends that I made there very much. What a group of amazing ladies!
Love this story. I think my problem is not noticing, more than rejecting. But I’ll be super-tuned-in now! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rachael Jayne,
Thank you so much for this thought-provoking video. I recently was chosen to receive an award for Academic Excellence in Nursing Psychotherapy. I did accept the award and had to work very hard to stand and own it. The Feminine Leadership program gave me the confidence to go back to school 3 years ago! I will graduate with honors on May 16th!!!
Best,
Kim
p.s. Please come to New York!
OMG less then an hour after watching this episode. I unexpectedly received an “ I am a winner” email informing me that I was chosen to receive a beautiful gift from a program that I am in. Wow. The universe is having fun with me today. Thank you for another amazing episode.
It’s interesting how quickly one can reject a gift or answer to a request. I tend to not always pay attention when the gift comes, or I find a way to deny it is what it is. Something I’m definitely working on.
BTW, it was great seeing you in Chicago.
Thank you for sharing this Rachael Jayne! I just love that story and I was thinking to myself as you were talking, I would feel badly having this woman do this for me. So many cultural vows, etc. for me but also a sense of concern/politeness for the other person – I should be doing the giving not the receiving. Hmmm….
I don’t have my kids this weekend and as I start down this road of starting a new life after 25 years, I find I don’t have a group of people to call and say let’s go out. I sent my cousin an email asking if she/her partner wanted to go into the city for dinner/drinks. She responded back if I wanted to go to her – she lives about 45 min from me – and meet them for drinks at a place they frequent. Because it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, I said I’ll think about it and I haven’t responded yet. I guess I need to rethink my answer.
Thankyou for the reminder that i dont receive what i pray for, and by not receiving I stop the flow of service that brings happiness to all xo
Love this video RJ. I have attracted an amazing man into my life and now I am learning to accept and receive his gifts to me as a supportive and loving partner. Thank you for the reminder ab9it accepting rather than rejecting what we have requested. 💛
Wow! I so enjoyed watching this RJ. I felt like we were in a conversation 🙂 I cannot wait for your book!!
Oh yes! Within the past week, due to old habitual patterns of thinking, I rejected the opportunity I wanted and needed. AND it took me three hours to realize it!!!!
Ugh!
Hi Rachael, thanks for sharing a piece of awareness around our gift. I would like to comment that we should not judge the gift by the package no matter what form it comes in. Even in being overweight or over 50 we can be strong and the reciprocal gift for the manager may have been offered the chance of extra exercise or a break in routine.
Wishing you every success with your book
I love the name of your new book Divine Breadcrumbs, inspired to read it xo
Thank you for this Rachel. This is so helpful.
Hi Rachel Jayne, this is Erandi and guess what happened?! I was on the shuttle yesterday, coming back to Santa Maria and was talking to a woman. It came up that she had a six year old son going to a very particular school, and the more she told me about this school the more I wanted to teach there, so I asked her and she said they were hireing and gave me the link! I’m looking into it. We’ll see. Thanks for everything by the way and I send you a hug since I didn’t get to give you a good bye hug.
What a timely reminder. I famously known for not accepting compliments or help. Rejecting “gifts” is such a negative for the giver as well!
Thank you for sharing this.
I have done this so many times and I thank you for this reminder! One thing that helped me become more aware and accepting is when I realized that when I turn away an offer for help or kindness, for whatever reason, I have just taken away that person’s chance to give. When someone accepts my gift I feel good! – and I take that opportunity away from them when do not gracefully receive something that was offered – especially if it was what i needed and wanted! How silly we can be sometimes!
Hi Rachael, You are gorgeous as always, so looking forward to seeing you in Melbourne – just about to purchase the plane tickets!
I LOVE you on Awaken TV, Rachael Jayne! I’m lapping this up like a thirsty pup!
Having ground to a stop almost 3 years ago, I suddenly decided to do another community event, at the last minute, synchronistically. Only a few AFP online video workshops triggered unexpected deep shifts in me, I loosened my grip on the brakes!
Being in ease and Flow stayed with me once I was pulled into the hard work, this time enlisting help, able to “receive” in my Feminine Presence. Better results than ever, and no burnout this time. No GUILT either!
That’s huge! Thank you, thanks to the vast Ground of Love that is “who” you are, reaching into my heaped up heart and finding the Light there! Gratefully, Di
oh no! I never refuse any gifts. I just came back from a restaurant to celebrate my birthday and two out of my three male friends wanted to pay for my meal. I just smiled, hugged them and say Thank you!
