Taking in Acknowledgment – A Gift to Others

Do you remember a time when you were honestly acknowledging someone, and they sloughed you off? What was it like to be in your skin? Didn't you feel dismissed in some way?

Do you remember a time when you were honestly acknowledging someone, and they perked up and glowed? What was it like to be in your skin then? Didn't you feel uplifted and expanded?

Why would you ever want to deny someone else the experience of being uplifted and expanded? Especially when it feeds your heart too?

PS It only works when the acknowledgment is real and the acceptance of it is real.
