Give unconditionally to receive unconditionally

In preparation for today’s meditation, I was looking at different books in order to bring added context to our session, but I couldn’t find one that I wanted to settle on! I was, however, struck by how many beautiful books I’ve received as gifts over the years. And then I was struck by how many beautiful books I’ve given out over the years. So when I woke this morning, I felt into this idea of receiving and the reciprocity of giving.

Like cyclical breath

When we give unconditionally, we also are receiving. In truth, it is in the giving that we receive. Think about this in terms of cyclical breath. As we breath in, we’re receiving. As we breathe out, we’re giving. That’s what we’ll use as the foundation for our meditation today.

As we prepare to meditate together, I invite you to consider: where else, like your breath, do you see giving to receive? I, for one, am struck by the wisdom of trees: always giving, always receiving.

As always, please enjoy!
