Being receptive...

Am I being receptive to what the universe is giving me?
I can hear the whispers in the wind but am I really listening?

Listening is one of the basic secrets of entering into oneness with the universe. It means forgetting yourself completely. If you cannot forget yourself, you never listen. If you are too self-conscious about yourself, you simply pretend that you are listening - you don't really listen. You may nod your head; you may sometimes say yes and no, but you are not listening. To really listen and become wholesome you need to drop the judgment and adopt a whole new way of doing things. To listen, you need to become just a passage, a receptacle, a womb: become feminine. Listening is the art for becoming passive.

Receptivity represents the feminine, receptive quality of water and of the emotions. As a woman, one of the most essential traits is the ability to receive in way that the aggressive mind is silenced and not allowed to hinder the pure receptivity. Through this, one brings on the complete acceptance and gratitude for whatever life brings, without any expectations or demands. Neither duty nor thought of merit or reward are important.

Be that woman Hola!!
