As we move along our unique and perfect path we from time to time bump into experiences that may give rise to resistance within us. These experiences may be external (someone does something or something happens) or they may be internal (we experience emotions like fear, anger, joy, and jealousy).

Whatever it is we are resisting, we are wise to learn to embrace and allow that which is to be as it is - in whatever form it may take.

This is so for three reasons:

1) This resistance creates an inner environment that is hospitable for illness, disease, and aging.

2) Resisting anything changes nothing, but actually, through our very resisting (giving energy to the surface appearance) we amplify and magnify the very thing we are resisting.

3) That which is, is as it is - regardless of what we think of it.

And so we are wise to release and let go of our resisting and move into embracing and allowing that which is to be as it is.

Now, this does not mean that we give up or yield to anything, but simply that we let go of our thoughts and opinions about what should and should not be.

It is from this space of non-resistance that we are open and available for solutions, answers, and opportunities to flow through us. It is from this space that we may rise above and beyond this particular experience.

I invite you to join me as we explore the meaning and power of the spiritual practice of embracing and allowing that which is to be as it is.
