Meet Resistance & Welcome It Home

You are wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure. When you resist something, it may be because it is painful, stressful or unpleasant.

Avoidance and denial do not make the pain disappear. It is only when you bring what you resist into the light that you can see the gift it was cloaking.

This meditation guides you to meet Resistance, welcome it into your heart and accept the gifts it brings. It's just another step in the Heart Dance.

Transcript

Welcome to the heart space.

This is the place where you meet yourself and you find out why you've been resisting something or how come you just can't seem to follow it through.

You know you want to do it,

You know all the logical reasons to finish it but for some reason,

For some unknown reason you're resisting.

So here today in the heart space we're going to meet your resistance and we're going to look her in the eye and thank her for her job which is to protect you.

We're going to thank her for doing her job and we're gonna ask her to now step down because you're ready to move forward and resistance was there for a reason but that reason no longer exists.

So in gratitude you ask her gently to step away and you know what she will because every decision you make,

Every single decision is not about what to do or what's next,

It's a decision about who you are in that moment and when you see that it's really about who you are in this moment then everything changes because who you are in this moment is your next grandest vision of yourself and to step into your next grandest vision you no longer need resistance.

It's a circular pattern of energy that can shift and change at will and you are the person who makes that decision,

No one else.

So please take a long slow deep breath in and hold it at the top and then release and follow your breath,

Watch it as it comes in and feel it as it goes out,

Feel it surrendering because you are surrendering right now in this moment to something bigger than you,

Something that you may not know for sure,

You may not be able to see the outline or the form but there's something calling you forward and as you visualize yourself moving forward you continue your deep breathing and you continue walking on this path and it can be through the forest,

It can be on the beach,

It can be through a tunnel,

Whatever makes you feel good,

Whatever makes you smile.

So continue breathing and create that image in your mind of that perfect place,

That perfect path,

That you're so happy to be on and you can't wait to see what's around the corner and as you walk further and further and deeper and deeper on the path you just know that you are going to meet resistance but you welcome that meeting because when you meet your resistance it's just a part of you that you haven't accepted yet,

It's a part of you that's been in the shadows that maybe got hurt in the past or arose from some emotional pain or trauma but resistance is there just to help you,

It's not there to stop you or be an obstacle but you have to meet it,

You have to accept it and allow it.

So that's what we're going to do this morning,

That's what we're going to do right now.

So continue breathing and continue walking down your path and as you keep taking a step forward you feel your mind releasing,

You feel your thoughts calm and the only thing you're really paying attention to is my voice.

So what is that resistance?

Can you see her yet?

And it's okay if you can't but just know that as you walk on this path she will find you and that's a good thing.

So now see your path,

Take a bend and as you go around the corner you see two chairs sitting facing each other and one chair is meant just for you and you'll know it when you see it.

So go ahead and keep breathing and take a seat and get comfortable and centered and grounded and then ask resistance to come meet you and keep breathing and keep knowing that you can change this energy at any time and it really is part of you but you have made it separate from you and so now is the time to integrate it back into your being,

To call it back so you can use that energy for other things.

Keep breathing.

Has resistance shown up yet?

Good.

So now you can ask your resistance some questions and this will let you see that it is really just part of you,

It's nothing else,

Nothing to be afraid of or scared or to resist.

There's no reason to resist your resistance so ask her as you continue breathing if she was protecting you or not and the answer always is yes that is a purpose of resistance for your own protection and now ask resistance if you can step around her or beyond her and she'll be okay with that and take a deep breath in as you're doing that and see her face and actually see the relief because resistance knows what's coming because the next question you're going to ask is that you are ready to step into your next grandest version of yourself and you would like resistance to join you but in a different shape,

In a different form and is she willing to do that and as you ask that question you receive the answer because resistance no longer sits across from you she has merged back into you and you are so grateful for everything she has done for you.

Allow the gratitude to well up inside you know that it was all for your good but now you've decided that who you are is no longer a person with resistance who you are is a person who now stands up and takes a deep breath and feels grounded and feels all of the chakras light up with this energy that is flowing to you through your crown chakra you're just open to that energy and it flows through your body and out your root chakra and out your fingertips and your feet and you are part of something so much bigger you are a necessary part because you have a role to play and as you stand there being energized by this loving light you know that now you're ready to step forward and as you step forward back on the path the path has changed because you have changed and the path now is wide open and there are so many possibilities in front of you so many things you want to do and you know you can do them you are there to do them and to bring forth what divine energy asks you to bring forth so take another deep breath and ground ground yourself into this new awareness and know that when you open your eyes you will see a different world because resistance is now a part of you you are now connected to a much higher source and your resistance has changed and you can call it hope you can call it love you can call it whatever you like but is still helping you in a different way and so now we walk back down the path and we begin returning to our body and we begin returning to this moment and take another deep breath in and hold it and surrender it out just as you surrender to this moment and you allow divine guidance to be heard and you follow it wherever it takes you so please have a blessed day full of love joy and gratitude and know that everything is happening for your highest good this is a heart space that you can live from and be in be well

Wonderful! So grateful for this meditation. I felt it to my core and it all made sense. Thank you!

That was probably the most powerful and complete resistance exercise I've done to date, and I've done a lot lol. Instead of dealing with each tiny bit of resistance that comes up, I feel I just took the whole thing on and happily reintegrated her. Thank you thank you!

My resistance’s name was Powerlessness. She’s been renamed Hope with your guidance. Blessings to you and your work.

Reassurance and support to face things and gain new perspective and energy. Thanks will use again. Namaste

Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Namaste🙏🏻Thank you for this helpful visualization ❤️🦋💫

So encouraging...🙏🧘🏼‍♀️❤️

When I did this meditation and I met “resistance” I met a young girl of many ages. For there were many stages in my life where there were events shaping me and shutting me down. I needed a few moments longer with those parts of me, to interact with, to ask what happened or please teach me what you know and how can I protect you now? How can I love you now, and bring you into my life?
It was a beautiful meditation. Yes I agree, those areas of resistance in our lives were there for a reason. We are a complex tapestry of all our life experiences

This meditation was awesome! I was needing it and it came to me! Wonderful! Thank you so much!

Amazing ! Importance of living by inspiration . It was very affective.

No words for how powerful this was for me

Wonderful, supportive and loving help for getting unstuck. Thank you.

Great visual Thank you

Truly fascinating idea, which is worth practicing to make a habit. No background music, just a voice delivering a profound message.

I will walk this path often.
Namaste

This is one of the most profound teachings I have come across in my journey through life. Thank you.

A missing piece! Thank you

Looking forward to visualizing resistance and asking her to move along when she inevitably pops up again.

Wonderful thanks 🙏
