Resistance

In life, it can be incredibly difficult to do anything that we actually want to do whether that be sitting down to meditate or going to the gym. What is the force that impresses itself upon us each and every moment to try and keep us from doing those things? In this talk, I take a look at the idea of Resistance and how we can take it from being an enemy to an ally.

SILAS,

Thank you for reviewing this very important topic of resistance.

I do not relate.

I have never felt like resisting meditation, and for that reason, I respectfully make he following suggestions,

I would be consistent with the use of first person singular pronouns, I, my and mine. You are primarily communicating your personal experience with resistance Your lesson here is primarily your experience.

Alternatively, you may want to consider being consistent by using first person plural pronouns we, our, ours. This would capture your experience and the experiences of your audience members who also have issues with resistance to meditation.

I would eliminate the third person pronouns you and yours. I believe that would make the message more consistent and understandable.

Respectfully

Thanks for another useful and unique sharing of perspective

Thank you. Resistance has been strong lately as I’m gaining traction on a big goal. I loved the War of Art book and I thought of it recently to reread.

Thank you for this perspective, Sillas. I have been noticing increased resistance lately and often took it as a guide or where I might be deviating off my alignment but this perspective is giving me a new way of working with autopilot mode in me vs intentional living 💜💛💚💙❤️

Good, concise explanation of one of the mysteries of existence.
