  • Short Guided Meditation | Practice Acceptance to Release Resistance

    Short Guided Meditation | Practice Acceptance to Release Resistance
    Feb 16 2025
    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.
