Both Giving and Receiving is recognized firstly with the breath of life as we are in constant communion with the breath and with the breath; each moment we participate with the practice of inhale and exhale.

The ancient yogic text The Yoga Sutras reminds us of the thread:   vastu-sāmye citta-bhedāt tayor vibhaktaḥ panthāḥ.” Which translates as :Though the object may be the same, the experience of it differs according to the state of the mind.

Sanskrit:

vastu-sāmye citta-bhedāt tayor vibhaktaḥ panthāḥ

Translation: Though the object is the same, personal perception and projections differ with every individual person based on state of being, awareness, and depth of spiritual experience.
