The left hand is generally considered the receiving hand.
This is because the left hand is often the one used to accept things, symbolizing the reception of energy, including love. Think about it: you'd typically accept a gift or a handshake with your left hand. This act of receiving translates to energetic exchanges, including emotional ones like love. For example, if you are working with a crystal like rose quartz associated with love, you would hold it in your left hand to better absorb its energy. This belief is based on the idea that energy flows through the body and that the left side is more receptive to external energies.
