Living without Resistance

Author

As the days go by and life takes its course, we are faced with situations that could bring upheaval and discomfort in our lives causing us to feel out of place; thus bringing out emotional reactions from within our deepest core. During these times, it is important not to resist the situations because by doing so we can make the experiences more difficult for ourselves.

The best way to cope with the curve balls in our life is to allow them to unfold the way they do, observing calmly and accepting them for the lessons that they are bringing into our existence. I know how hard it is to do this since we are emotional beings and we are programmed at an early age to react and take control of every situation we encounter. But I have also been fortunate enough to see how life always comes full circle by fulfilling the purpose of its reason for being; the chaos in our lives always brings with it the lasting calmness after the storm.

Nothing in our existence takes place without having a special purpose, therefore why do we get so caught up and stressed out about not being able to control every aspect of our daily grievances? The answer is very simple. It’s because our ego’s defense mechanism is to resist the flow of our Divine guidance. Our ego always wants to control, loves drama and cannot conceive of the idea that our natural state of being is pure harmony and bliss. Therefore it creates ways to resist and block this well being from taking place, instead of just letting life take its course into a perfect state of being.

When we practice letting go of the resistance, we become free. Free of stress, free of emotional imbalance, free of control. We liberate ourselves to enjoy a life without expectations, open to receive what it has to offer. Life becomes a smooth sail and things just start falling back into place when we least expect it.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing how all the pieces of the puzzle are always there, ready to be put back together when we allow the flow of life to freely move about our existence without us getting in our own way to a synchronized, blissful and perfect experience.

Practice the art of letting go of resistance; it is the most powerful tool we have in order to live a life full of love, harmony, and perfect order. Once you practice this way of living you will be amazed at the positive results and you will begin to feel a sense of gratitude and freedom that will allow you to be more connected to all that exists in a more conscious way.
