Feeling Fear In The Present Moment - Learn The Zen Practice of Acceptance - Elizabeth Hancock

We all know it’s easy to be our best and brightest selves when life is easy; when our body works the way we want, when events go as planned, or when all our expectations are being met.

It’s easy to be that kind, caring, compassionate, person when everything goes our way.

But we all know that life doesn’t always work like this. Sometimes we are met with circumstances that are out of our control and suddenly things take a turn for the worse.

We’ve all been there. But when things go wrong and we think that life should be giving us something else, this is when the problem starts. This is where suffering begins. And this is called ‘resistance’.

Resistance is when we deny what is happening because we wish it would be something else. Resistance is fear.

About Elizabeth Hancock CSC, CSC:

I help people who feel lost and stuck regain control of their lives through energetic practices and the power of mindfulness. I love helping people and have always served as a mentor and coach my entire life. My passion has always been to help others gain a greater understanding of themselves. I have a bachelors in Psychology and hold a professional life coaching certification through an ICF accredited program. But, probably my most valuable training has simply been the school of life and my 25 year meditation practice. As a long time meditator, I know how the mind works and I help guide people in understanding their own minds so that they can use these inner tools and practices to help them stay balanced, grounded, and joyful no matter what the external circumstances are. This is the core of what I do, to simply remind everyone that they are powerful beings and that they have the power to create a life they love.

Thanks for watching!

I've been on my own now without a partner for three years. I am depressed and full of negative thoughts. But the other day I accepted I was lonely and my dark cloud lifted briefly
