What We Resist………

What we resist…..persists

Resistance is what causes all pain in life.  It is not the adverse situations or feelings that we experience that cause pain – it is your resistance to them.  The simple act of ‘not wanting’ is resistance.  The opposite of resistance is non – resistance……acceptance.

Acceptance does not mean settling for second best or accepting something negative or not wanted. It is not holding onto that which you do not want – it is letting it come, pass through, and go out……in other words, by resisting we are connecting to and buying into that which we do not want. Non-resistance is not grabbing onto  or owning that which you do not want – you are separate from it so it can pass through and fade away – it just is…..acceptance – non-resistance.
