How do I put myself in "receiving mode"? I may be there already and I 'feel' like I'm there and I believe I am receiving, but is there a space I can be in to accelerate receiving?

Two things I'd suggest:
The first, is becoming absolutely clear on what it is you want and *why* you want it.
The second thing is, find ways to involve other people in achieving your goals. The best way to get people to help you is by helping them, first.
I wrote an article on how to be more open to receiving from people and from the Universe, which you can find here:
