Find Freedom from Resistance The way we resist not only lifes difficulties but also lifes potential sweetness is one of the most puzzling paradoxes of the human organism. Its the subtle tendency to hold back from anything that changes the balance in our lives. We dont just resist something unpleasant, like working with a difficult health issue or recognizing the need to leave a job. We often have a strange resistance to, say, getting a massage or opening fully to a friend or lover, or, especially, allowing an emerging state of inner expansion—even when we sense that were cutting ourselves off from something great. Of course, resistance is sometimes appropriate; if you didnt have the ability to say no, to resist or filter some of what comes at you, youd be overwhelmed. The bodys immune system is built precisely for this purpose: to resist invaders in the form of bugs and bacteria. Your psychological immune system is also built to keep out intruders. By the time youve grown up, it usually consists of a series of energetic boundaries and gateways that youve built to keep out hostile energies, potentially toxic situations, and exploitative relationships. If you did not have that network of resistances, youd be vulnerable to every form of suggestion, subtle or obvious.
