Knowing the difference between non acceptance and resistance

in #spirituality7 years ago (edited)

It seems that with life there is a balance with pretty much everything. Finding the middle ground can be difficult if your oblivious to the nature of whatever it is thats been surfacing. I find that sometimes even stuff you think you’ve gotten over can come back if your going through a dip. It will gradually start to find a way the more your defences come down and its so easy to forget then what you’ve spent so long getting over.

There will always be room for more growth, more expansion, more happiness unfortunately finding your way through can at times seem like a maze that no matter how hard you try you just can’t find your way. Its moments like these where its difficult to take a step back because your so engaged it’s impossible to even be in a state to analyse.

Not accepting the situation you find yourself in is fine however there becomes a point where the pendulum swings into resisting where you are specially if your going through a few weeks / months of lows. Sometimes finding hope can be difficult even though if you’ve been committed to growing for long enough will know that its just a cycle between the hopelessness and the bliss. After all it’s what makes us grow. For me i find being able to identify what is going on and why is essential for finding peace and the clarity that comes with it. Its so easy to fall into despair it seems that sometimes you have to go right down before you can summon the remnants of whatever energy you have to work out why you are resisting where you are instead of allowing it to be which is the only way through. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it.. the balance between the two can be fine, it’s one that I believe is quite important too. If we’re going to find our way through our challenges then this one most definitely needs to be nurtured in a way that allows your energy to be high. So that everything you do reflects that, change is then inevitable.

Happy new year!

I feel that healthy resistance is like a BS detector, it shows us what we don’t need to take in.

Unhealthy resistance is when we disconnect from our feelings

Much love and light

Connecting into our feelings can be our biggest challenge. Avoidance is automatic like second nature.. can be rly difficult sometimes to separate them from thoughts

Happy new year Michiel x

Hi Ben, actually you are doing really well, because you are connecting to your feelings of difficulty. They might originate from an earlier time in your life, is what I get from your writings.

aw thanks actually feels so much better that the holidays are over.. next year if my circumstances are similar im officially having a holiday hahaha think we all have some repressed stuff to deal with at some point in our lives.. mine was terrible yes and only started to really go into it within the last year. All different one's impossible to categorise them some are really blunt and uncomfortable, others shorter and sharper these seem to pass the quickest providing i can deal with them in the moment.. literally had no idea a year ago that i'd be where i am now

maybe i'll do my next one on repressed energy... its a good subject one that can only be defined spiritually

Hey, great idea!

I will write about that as well sometime. For me it’s connected with my inner child...👼

Love and Light
