Meditation on the question,
Can I live with this forever?
This is a powerful question that you can ask yourself when the body-mind resists a feeling,
A thought,
A person or a situation.
Often,
It is an ego pattern to project the difficulty endlessly into the future.
And when that happens,
The resistance increases and the desire to change the current experience deepens.
Instead of resisting this ego pattern,
By asking,
Can I live with this forever,
We actually explore what is going on.
The moment the question is asked,
The resistance intensifies on the level of the mind and the body.
There is a clear and strong answer,
No.
And yet,
To the awareness that witnesses the body,
The mind and the situation,
Yes is the only possible answer.
Awareness itself,
Your true self,
Does not mind any experience.
It allows everything to be exactly as it is.
It remains impartial,
In equanimity,
All allowing,
All embracing.
See for yourself that this is true right now.
See that you are aware.
See that the awareness,
The presence that you are,
Simply is.
It allows the mind to think whatever it thinks,
And it allows the body to feel whatever it feels.
There is zero resistance in awareness.
Just like the blue sky allows any shape of cloud to pass through it,
Or just like the space of a room allows the furniture to be arranged in any way.
Stay with your experience,
Until the yes is clear,
Until you know that you are not really resisting what is happening.
It is just an unfolding of the body and the mind.
But you awareness,
Embrace it,
Allow it,
Love it.
By doing this practice frequently,
You will reach deeper and deeper levels of presence,
Of peace,
Of stillness,
Of clarity,
And of acceptance.
Thank you for listening.
I wish you a day ahead that is full of acceptance,
Embracing,
And allowing anything that appears within your awareness.
