Practice Acceptance to Release Resistance / Mindfulness Meditation / Mindful Movement

We add suffering to our experience when we want our reality to be something other than what it really is. When we can release our resistance, and accept what is, we can experience peace. Letting go of resistance and accepting ourselves and the present moment experience is an ongoing practice and this guided meditation for acceptance can be part of the process.

You might think of it as training for our day to day life experiences. Although we don’t have control of the external weather, we can make your own internal weather to experience inner peace.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Viktor E. Frankl

“There is a possibility for change only after the reality has been accepted and believed to be true. Peace is available when you stop resisting, any given moment.”

[brentduanefoster]

An important note on Acceptance:

Acceptance does not mean avoidance of matters and circumstances that cause harm to ourselves and others, nor does it mean that accountability for causing said harm should not occur. It simply means that we acknowledge that these things are happening and should be addressed accordingly.

Failure to consider this will almost assure that the same things will continue to occur, under an incorrect understanding of what acceptance means in this matter.

I struggle with accepting my life as it is because I know I can do better and I want better and I deserve better. But the resistance in accepting it is adding suffering to my experience and it’s overwhelming. This meditation helped me become aware of where I hold my resistance physically in my body. My chest, throat, and forehead. Which made me think of the chakras and where my belief system emotionally and spiritually needs to change. I thank you for this. Someone in the comments mentioned that they are thankful for receiving this free gift because some of us cannot afford therapy. I just wanna second that motion. THANK YOU for making this available 🥰

[kellyc.hanwright]

I just want to say thank you. I have complex ptsd and accepting things is a real struggle for me. So is even remaining present. My whole mind AND body constantly want to escape, and they will find ways with or without me! As I did this meditation, I shed tears almost the whole time, but they are cleansing tears. I didn't have to hate them or be mad at them. I am going through an incredibly hard time in my life right now. Everything I've ever gained seems to have been lost, and everything I thought I knew about myself seems to be changing. Yes, that's how life is, but I am a effing idealist! 😆 So accepting what is just doesn't happen! But starting today, I am making a new plan to regularly practice mindfulness. Thank you. So much. I think it's really going to help. For the first time in an entire year, I'm hopeful.

While I was listening to this I was trying to relax and stretch while sitting on the floor. Started thinking about yoga and started to think that its so wonderful that we still get amazing help for free. Some of the meditation videos are better than seeing a therapist. And we dont have to travel to get these mini sessions and they're very effective and valuable. I just wanted to say thank you for all the youtubers who create these resources for all of us! 💕💕💕 "without darkness, we are unable to know light"

[ebbsbradley]

I love myself & I accept all of my flaws 💫✨🙏🏽💗

[emmajensen]

Wow this just changed everything. The power of acceptance is powerful ☀️

[DarrellW_UK]

I have chronic pain syndrome and have just found that acceptance is really the only way forward. Distraction and replacing bad thoughts with good ones are not really sustainable, they are ok short term but long term it just doesn't work because you expect things to change in a more dramatic way than they are ever likely to, accepting what you feel from day to day is so different. I am actually feeling better than I have done for a while just by accepting how I feel from day to day, my stress and anxiety levels are much lower so I feel better.
Many thanks for your efforts to help people like myself, peace and love 🙏💖🙏💖

[meghasa]
