No Worries! Resistance Is Just The Mud Of The Lotus!
Resistance can be very uncomfortable, even painful. This is not bad! It is all part of the process. Old emotions or patterns are surfacing because they need to be acknowledged and released. The stronger the resistance, the brighter the light that arises when we come out of it. Like the Tao says, if you want to make something small, first allow it to become big. When you’re in the middle of it, it’s hard to see clearly. Perspective narrows, much like it does during bad weather—you know, logically, that the storm will pass, but emotionally it doesn’t feel that way. What can help is kindness: being gentle with yourself and others, not judging yourself, doing small things that support you and embracing the situation as it is. Tomorrow is another day!
