Resistance almost always has something useful to tell you. Sometimes resistance masks fear, an unwillingness to move deeper or to engage a block, a reluctance to explore an unexamined belief. Remember that the more you hear what resistance is telling you, the more easily you can work with it. You learn when to put your foot down and get onto the mat. You start to recognize when youre glancing off into distraction. You experiment with staying inside the pose, the breath, the meditation posture, until you feel shifts—and then you try staying a little longer to get to know the new level thats opened up. Little by little, as you work with the continuing resistance that keeps your practice shallow, you find a new depth thats present in more and more moments of the day. To move past resistance in your practice is to free yourself in ways you have never anticipated.
