We begin by welcoming you.
We appreciate your question,
How do we open to and accept our spiritual gifts?
This question is indicative of the underlying desire to be your best self and also to be your service.
These are all valuable aims and intentions and we commend you for them.
But we want to sprinkle the addition of a concept that will make the whole thing feel lighter and allow more flow for you.
It does not have to be hard.
Opening and opening to your gifts is a process of opening to yourself,
Of accepting yourself,
Of building trust in yourself,
Of acknowledging your own wisdom and allowing that to flow through you in an unrestricted manner.
There is a lot of blocking of the wisdom in humanity at present.
It has been an ongoing issue and it is something that is in the process of changing currently but it will continue to change more and more.
But we remind you to not then assume that where you are now is wrong.
Do not attribute your gifts,
Your purpose,
Your mission this lifetime with heaviness,
With the weight of responsibility because that is not as it was intended before you came here and is not what is intended now.
Opening to your gifts,
Accepting your gifts is a process of opening and accepting yourself.
But it is also a process of opening and accepting flow.
You have all manner of gifts.
Some of you are excellent cooks,
Some of you are artists,
Some of you sing,
Some of you dance,
Some of you are good at mathematics,
Some of you are good at graphics,
Some of you are good with relationships.
All of these are gifts and spiritual gifts are no different.
If you were asking how do I open and accept my gift for singing,
There would be a lot less attached to your perception of what is required.
You would easily accept our response is to practice,
To be open and playful,
To be disciplined but not rigid,
To allow the flow that is required in your singing voice to be the energy with which you practice and the same is true of all of your other gifts.
The way to embrace them is to embrace them and the way to do that is to embrace yourself and to take them out of the category of difficult,
Heavy,
Complicated.
Develop your ability to trust yourself in small incremental ways and do the same with your gifts.
Do not expect to go from a place of not being open and not trusting them which is what your question partly implies,
To being completely trusting and completely open.
Humans often want to jump,
Leap from one place to the other but the truth is that there is a path.
This is something that will change as you move in vibrational standing but currently in the physical realm which is where you are living,
There is a path to be taken in the development of skills.
There is also the ability to open intuitively and channel through guidance and assistance.
This is something that a few of you on the planet are open to and you conceptualise it in different ways.
The word channelling is complicated and it's not necessarily indicative of only what Mater is doing currently this moment.
Channelling as we define it is an openness.
It's the flow of intuitive wisdom and it is exactly the same as what is done by songwriters.
It is exactly the same as what is done in inspired creation in moments of genius.
You all do it every day.
So acknowledging that it is something that you do regularly and often and naturally will help you to open to the possibility that it is not difficult because in reality it isn't.
But all skill sets require in the physical world a level of practice and as you take an attitude of playfulness and joy,
The growth and expansion that you can create in your abilities is exponential and has an energy of upliftment and expansion rather than contraction that comes with heaviness and responsibility.
We invite you to play with opening to your gifts,
By playing with opening to yourself and to your innate knowing because whether you are connected with it or not that is always present within you.
It is your divinity and your greatest gift and it is the essence of who you are whether that is what you feel or not.
If you feel yourself getting heavy and serious when it comes to your gift know that you are walking in the opposite direction to the expansiveness that you seek.
Be playful,
Be playful,
Be playful.
We love you.
You are very well.
