The more I study myself and witness clients the more I realize how much issues in life, stuckness, is all about resistance. When there is no resistance or when resistance lifts, there is flow. Emotions move through me like the passing weather, practical challenges arise and are dealt with or let go, everything is just as it needs to be in the moment. Resistance can be felt as a tension in the body, anywhere really, but particularly in the chest, shoulders, neck and jaw. Are you aware of resistance right now? If so, don’t resist it! Embrace it. Say yes to it and watch how it changes as you pay attention to it. Breathe and soften around it if that makes sense in the moment. Or perhaps it wants to tense up more now that you’re paying attention to it. Let it do what it needs to do to complete itself. Make some noise if you need to. Scream. Rage. Anger is a higher energy emotion than sadness or depression. Let it happen. Let anger take you to strength. Let yourself evolve embracing each moment as it comes. Notice how you feel when some resistance lifts. Do you feel lighter? What impulses arise? What’s next?an be felt as a tension in the body, anywhere really, but particularly in the chest, shoulders, neck and jaw. Are you aware of resistance right now? If so, don’t resist it! Embrace it.

There is an energy inside of each of us that, if we can become aware of, adds a vibrancy and freedom to our every action. When aware of this energy we can cut right through the illusions that usually color our perceptions. It’s not just inside us, it is the very substance of everything. But without even assuming that is the truth, without going to explanation, this energy can be felt as a very concrete sensation. It shows up in many different ways at different times and people experience it in different ways. The description I give is only to be considered a hint or doorway. You may experience this energy as a tingling sensation or see it as light or feel a warmth or it may be similar to breathing in the aroma of fresh jasmine tea. You will recognize it by the fact of it’s aliveness and vibrancy and the perception that it is moving and ultimately the deep knowledge that it is good.
