Letting Go of Resistance
Let it Be, Let it Be
"W hat you resist not only persists, but will grow in size. ."

Hello AWMS subscriber :
The beginning of a New Year brings us thoughts of goals and solutions, which often include images of a need to vanquish current conditions. We speak of conquering our fear, overcoming our problems, and defeating bad habits.
Yet when we fight against a problem, it tends to fight back. The first rule of mind is, "We reap what we sow" — also known as karma. In other words, we create whatever we put our attention on, good or bad, happy or sad.
Every attempt to destroy what we do not want results in the problem becoming more deeply-rooted, scattering even more seeds of what we do not want.
The opposite of resistance is resolution — a 180-degree turn to face our goals, dreams, and aspirations. Our problems, our fears, and our past can be released rather than conquered. Just put it all down.
This is also the problem with vengeance and grudges. When we refuse to forgive and carry our heartache forward, we only hurt ourselves. Buddha said it's like trying to hurt someone by throwing a burning coal at them. You're the only one who gets burned.
In a more subtle way, how much of our emotional hurt is truly current? When someone or some event or circumstance upsets you, is it possible that most of the heartache and irritation you feel is old — echoes of past emotional trauma?
Sometimes we can just stop resisting, put it all down, and let it be. Occasionally, it's more difficult to walk away because our emotional pain is symptomatic of something we need to understand about our Self.
In any event, we wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to hearing from you in 2020. To schedule a free introductory private telephone session, click on the yellow button at the top of the page and use our online calendar.
Peace, love and blessings,
