Are You Resisting Resistance?
Dear Friend,
Do you know that most people live in a constant state of resistance to what is?
We resist the feelings that we don’t like, the pain, the fear, the anger, the changes, the… you name it.
We even resist what our beautiful Heart is trying to express as us, to give us an experience of fulfillment, joy and love.
Why do we act as if it is not OK to be happy, powerful, free or fulfilled. It is the strangest thing how resisting what we want the most is so prevalent.

You may recall from one of my previous posts that turning that behavior upside down, and allowing myself the awareness that it is OK to have what I want and be happy, was a game changer. I released an old identity that was never true and certainly does not fit anymore. Kind of too tight.
Through our resistance we keep this limited identity alive and deny ourselves the beauty and fullness of the Love that we are. And of course that identity does not feel good, so then we resist what we just created, and that is exactly what this identity needs to stay alive.

Ever wonder why you feel stuck?
We are amazingly powerful creators. Imagine if we spent that amount of energy and time on what makes up happy instead?

The Cure for Resistance
The word cure makes it sound like a disease, doesn’t it? Well, think about it. Feel how much energy you put into resisting your feelings, and how much tension that puts on your muscles, nervous system, blood vessels, arteries etc. Resistance is a contraction and keeps all the vessels and tissues in the body tight and unable to breathe properly, take in enough oxygen and eliminate toxins. How do you think that affects your physical health and well being? And how about the feelings that are stuck there and unable to be fully experienced, learned from and released?
Like it or not, when you resist anything, you are stuck with it.

Allowing
There is a cure, however.
Try to make a fist as if you say No to something and resist it really hard.
Can you feel the tension? This tension is the crazy glue and keeps it stuck.
Now, let’s try something else. See what happens when you Allow the very thing you are resisting. It could be a feeling you don’t like, or a situation in your life that gives you a feeling you don’t like.
I think it all comes down to resisting our feelings, even when it looks like it is an outer circumstance we are resisting. It is the feeling that this circumstance gives us that we don’t like.
I have learned in my own life that when I Allow something I was previously resisting, it opens up a space in me where energy can flow into. This energy is who I Am, and boy, does it feels good.
The more I Allow, the more I realize that I am that energy. When I resist, I close off the Flow of this energy that I am. Allowing is opening up to this energy that I am and makes space for it to fill my life with all the Good that I already am.
Allowing is a fine art that gets refined the more you practice it. The more you allow all of yourself – the good and the bad- the more you Become Who You Already Are. Resistance is what creates duality by excluding parts of yourself and shutting down the Flow or your Fulfillment.
