Allow Yourself to Receive with Oyster Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
21. Oyster Medicine – the oyster receives without judgment. When we openly receive life, we release effort and struggle.
What are you willing to receive?
Is that in your best interest?
Are you in the best position to receive blessings?
Is it time to discharge an irritant?
Healing Action: Get present and open your heart to receptivity. Accept the benefits of your kind actions and ability to benefit from difficult circumstances.
The Pearl of Great Price
To openly receive is something that the
small mind has great difficulty doing.
It tries to force things to happen –
to control outcomes and future events.
It tries and tries, but never succeeds.
The Oyster never tries to do anything, it just exists.
Because it exists, it has no need to resist.
Since it has no need to resist,
it openly receives without judgement
about whether something is good or bad,
right or wrong, wanted or unwanted.
If a grain of sand is washed into its home,
it uses the irritation to create a pearl.
We would be wise to follow the Oyster’s lead.
Accept the events in your life
and use them to nourish the heart and Soul.

Further Exploration into Oyster Medicine:
Your ego is dominating the situation by limiting what you’re willing to receive. It’s trying to hide flawed reasoning and is busy thinking up excuses. Step away from that reaction so that you can allow something better to come in.
Gaze gently at Oyster’s Circle and ask your Soul: “What am I willing to receive in this situation? Can I open to more?” Clarify the situation by answering, “What is the resistance about?”
Conversely, it could be time to stop tolerating an irritant and expel it from your personal space. Not everything is worth keeping. Let go of the struggle. Accept what you’ve learned from the situation and let it go.
Are you denying or blocking positive change? If so, It’s time to accept yourself and the situation as it really is. The sooner you release your denial, the sooner your difficulties will end.
Examine your attitudes and beliefs, especially those you feel justified in having. As you look at the Circle, ask your heart, “What attitude or belief is causing me trouble? What am I not accepting?”
Then ask, “What would help me be more open and receptive in this situation?”
Follow your own advice and you will experience profound personal changes taking place.
