Five Elements Spirit Perspective
| Spirit of the Point | Receive Fullness is about coming to harvest, being full of oneself, a sense of fulfillment, being filled with pleasure, coming to the end and the harvest of life. It is for an Earth Causative Factor (CF) who has never gathered in the harvest or known a sense of fulfillment, and feels no satisfaction. It also helps those who reject fullness, and it can bring awareness of a moment to savor. It brings a feeling that work has been done and it is time to pause, and empowers a person to experience the abundance in life rather than wallow in neediness. |
