Welcome to the acceptance meditation.

Sometimes in life things go the way we would like them to,

And sometimes they don't.

And when things don't go the way we expect,

We can either experience a lot of sorrow internally and distress our own emotional,

Mental,

Spiritual state.

Or we can come to a state of deep acceptance and find the benefit and learn to feel good within ourselves,

Even within a situation that is not what we want.

So let's start with a few beautiful deep breaths.

Just coming back to the present moment.

Coming back to your body.

And just breathing in nice deep breaths.

And as you breathe out,

Just releasing any tension,

Any negative feelings,

Just cleaning it all out,

Clearing it all away.

Just breathing in that light and releasing and letting go.

And you're going to see yourself feeling a little bit more relaxed with each breath.

And as you breathe,

Just keep in mind that when we resist or don't accept the results of something that's happened,

There are four problems that we experience on top of the existing problem.

The first problem is that we feel negative emotions in our body and in our mind when we resist.

So we suffer internally,

Which is a huge loss to us.

The second thing is that when we resist and have negative feelings,

We can't think clearly and we can't focus on solutions in that negative state.

Solutions that can make things better.

The third problem is that when we are negative towards somebody who may have won something or got something that we don't like,

Our negative vibrations make it almost impossible to understand the real intentions behind the person's actions.

So we see everything through a filter that is influenced with a negative perception,

Unable to see what is really going on and what the real intentions are.

And the fourth problem is that by sending negative energy to other people or situations,

We actually make them worse than they are already.

Because negativity upon negativity upon negativity adds up and adds up and ends up in a much worse position.

More negativity is not going to solve a negative situation.

But on the flip side,

We have a choice to not do any of these four things,

We can turn it all around and experience a wonderful state of peace and come to solutions.

So our alternative is to choose to accept the outcome.

And when we fully accept that this thing has happened,

And we're not resisting it,

We're not sending negative energy,

As we fully accept in our hearts,

Then the negative energy flows away.

And we experience a deep sense of peace and relief.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

And we can just let everything else fade away.

Just knowing everything's gonna be alright.

And we just accept it is what it is.

No need to fight.

No need to stress.

We're just focusing on accepting.

I acknowledge something has happened.

It happened the way that it was meant to happen in the unfoldment of destiny and life at this time.

And this is a big process of life.

With many many things and many secrets and many hidden benefits,

And things can turn around.

But let's just accept what happened in this particular moment and say to ourselves,

It is okay.

I accept it.

I can let go.

And just completely let go,

Just drain out any resistance,

Just release resistance,

Just let it go.

It's alright.

The ego always wants to be right.

But we want to align with reality.

So just letting go,

Letting it all drain away.

Just completely letting go.

And taking a few deep breaths and just really breathing it through.

There is secret benefit in everything and it begins with acceptance.

Acceptance that there is benefit in some hidden way.

Acceptance of whatever has happened.

And as we completely accept the results of life,

We can move on to the next stage.

The next stage is to find positive solutions,

Positive solutions.

Sometimes a positive solution is just to accept and to make the most of life and being supremely grateful for all the blessings we have.

Maybe things didn't work out the way we wanted them to,

But let's look at our own life and all the blessings we already have and the blessings that we can continue to enjoy.

And if there is anything else we need to do,

We can discover positive solutions from a clear state of consciousness.

So just opening up your consciousness,

What can you do right now to experience a positive movement forward?

What positive action or positive thought or positive words can you bring forth?

There is always something,

Even if it's just having gratitude.

And this is something you can continue thinking about in your own time.

When we fully accept,

We can also move on to the third stage,

Which is to have positive vibrations and positive vision of the person or the situation that worked out in a different way than we expected.

And we can give blessings,

We can say in our hearts,

May this situation work out for the highest good of all.

The way these people or this person,

This situation may work out so there is the greatest good.

It's quite possible some of the things that occur might even benefit us personally on some level,

Whether it's now or in the future.

So we're just being open to see the positive outcome.

Things might have not worked out as we expected,

But it's quite possible there will be some positive benefits on some level,

Because inside of every adverse situation is the seed of equal or greater benefit.

So right now in this situation,

There is a seed that will begin to grow with your love,

With your acceptance,

With your good vibrations and your trust.

And that seed of equal or greater benefit will grow and grow and grow,

Blessing you.

So we're just sending the good feeling that may that seed grow and may all sorts of wonderful things become manifest,

Even better than what we imagined.

Just imagine a positive outcome,

Imagine your own life getting better,

Imagine wonderful things happening.

When we accept situations and we let go,

We can reorient ourselves to focus on solutions,

To newness,

To changes and really bring the power back.

So what can we do?

How can we make our own lives better?

How can we create new relationships?

How can we improve things practically?

And how can we let go of unnecessary negative information,

Negative people,

Negative things,

And just let it go and focus on all the blessings and positive creations and transformation and newness.

So we reorient our energy in a positive direction.

And compared to other periods of time in the world,

We live in remarkable levels of wealth and prosperity and opportunity,

Which were not afforded to people like we have now ever before.

So we can really reorient our attention to blessings,

To transformation,

To newness,

To freedom.

And the final step of acceptance is also to send good feelings and pure wishes,

Good wishes and pure feelings to people,

The situations that didn't work out as we may have liked.

Because when we see others in a positive light,

It actually raises them up.

And when we see them in a negative light,

It affects us negatively,

Pulls us down and pulls them down,

Which is a major problem that we've been suffering from social media and the news.

So instead of that,

We can focus on good feelings and good wishes.

So you can imagine the situation,

Whatever it is that didn't work out,

Just send genuine good wishes that may these people or this person may they do a wonderful job,

May everything work out well,

And may they have compassion and consider whatever is the highest good of all.

Building a high vision of others,

Seeing them in their highest form is a great act of charity.

And if more people did this,

We would have a significantly improved world.

Curses make things worse.

And things make them better.

So let's take a moment to send love blessings to all the souls.

May everyone experience peace.

May everyone come from the highest state of consciousness.

May everything work out perfectly in its own way in its own time.

May truth be revealed.

May everything return to whatever is the highest good for all.

The highest good for all.

And as you stay in this positive,

Powerful state of consciousness,

Your own life will attract blessings to it,

Success to it,

Ease and grace to it.

Stay in the good vibrations,

Stay in the good thoughts,

Stay in the acceptance and then use your precious life to create beautiful experiences for yourself and for others.

And the more people do this,

The more beautiful the world becomes.

One thought at a time.

So you're a great soul.

Thank you for being here.

You have the power to shift your inner consciousness.

You have the power to focus on solutions.

You have the power to see clearly what is going on through the energy of positive vibrations.

So you can see through that good feeling.

Seeing the truth that is otherwise clouded by negativity.

And you can send love and blessings and good feelings to all souls which raises them up.

By doing this,

Beautiful things will be attracted to you.

So success is yours right now.

You can smile knowing that no matter what happened,

Success is yours and will continue to be yours through this practice.

It is done.

It is done.

Yes.

It is done.
