Feeling safe, secure and protected, living without fear, is an intrinsic desire for most people. However, in a world besieged by violence, threat and uncertainty it often seems out of reach. As always, resonance is the attractor and fear, anger, pain, envy and other negative emotions lower our resonance and pollute our auras.

For most of us, conditioned to believe that success is a result of doing, achieving and making things happen on our own, receiving is seen as weak or passive. It is our last resort when we have exhausted every other avenue and are at our wits’ end. It is often uncomfortable for us to receive help, love or forgiveness, thus we resist.
