Acceptance - A Series On The Attitudes of Mindfulness (Week 2)

This is part two of a series of meditations based on the attitudes we develop from practising mindfulness, but also the stance we attempt to bring to our sitting. This session is about acceptance. Can you accept and allow whatever arises for you, instead of wishing things were different (this is what causes suffering)? This practise is not an easy practise but it is good for challenging our unsettled thoughts. Try it!

Very interesting. Thank you

I’ve listened to this 3 times in one day because I really wanted to get what I’m suppose to get here. Ding.... Perhaps my non acceptance of some issues I can’t control are all about control after all!! I’ve dealt with bouts of rage and anger that learned was coming from not being able to control situation, people etc. Now I’m here again about control and non acceptance!! I’m beginning to see a pattern here! Letting go of any/all control could be very liberating. Now putting this into practice and believe me I have plenty of opportunity within my family structure and a few friends that must almost disappoint me in one way or another.
On to #3 in the series! Thank you for your insights. 💜

This was a powerful meditation. Your words were just what I needed to be reminded about in regard to acceptance.
