What Does Resistance Look Like?

Opra and I both get asked this question a lot: what exactly do you mean by “resistance?” And what does it look like, specifically? Also, how do I know I’ve got it?

Great questions! And I will answer them. But first, a quick and necessary reminder:

Don’t focus on it! LOL!

I know, crazy, right? I can hear you saying “I’ve got resistance, and you’re telling me how important it is to ‘let it go,’ but not to focus on it??!!”

Yep.

When you notice it, you might think or talk just a bit (for a few seconds!) about what it looks like and how it feels, and then the goal is always to take your focus off of it and focus on something – anything – that’s more pleasant, anything that’s more in line with what you want. And that means from then on.

Don’t go back and dredge it back up again. Stop talking about it. Stop posting about it. Don’t join any support groups about it!...

This session was with a client who was definitely feeling the effects of Covid-19, both in a personal way, as well as in the wilder energy currents palpably circulating the planet, disrupting and replacing the older, slower currents.

As we seek to control the conditions in our lives, it can feel like the sandy ocean floor as we stand in the shallow surf.  As the huge amounts of water move past us, in and out, the sand can literally disappear beneath our feet.  The desire for stability is understandable, but as we experiment even a little bit with it, we discover that we can float, swim, play and jump, and the ocean bottom is always there to catch us.

MY ENERGY FEELS TURBULENT

Q- 'I am feeling a lot of turbulence in my life.'

A- 'The unwanted, your perception of the unwanted, as getting bigger, is purely about your very natural attempts to stabilize within the turbulence.
