How do you work through resistances?

Resistances are mental blocks humans create for different reasons.  Many people don't realize their behavior reflects resistance.  You may think you procrastinate or, believe you're simply shifting priorities, when your underlying motivation tells a different story.

As you oppose or withstand situations, you may not realize that you also block energy flow.  This is reflected in physical tension and bodily sensations.  Your mind moves to focus on a vision you create.  What if your new goal was to refocus, even temporarily?

To raise awareness about your physical reactions helps you discern when you are resisting something.  Your mind isn't always ready to recognize or acknowledge this.  Yet, physiological signs always offer insight.  If your muscles are tight, your body is sending you a message.  If you sense imbalances, they convey valuable messages as well.

Before you can work through resistances, you need to learn to recognize what they are and when you put up your own walls.  Why you do this is something you will figure out as you learn to pay more attention.  What does your body tell you? Are you familiar with your base feelings and energy level? Its meaningful to learn to discern what feels natural.

Working through resistence requires that you evolve to "tune in" and sense your body's subtle energy.  Healing helps you realize that patterns of emotional turmoil can be broken.  Each person chooses his or her own pace.  You decide when you heal and how. 

Belief predetermines outcome.  Real life and your experiences with love enable you to come to your own conclusions.  It has been widely agreed that the truth is always felt.

Hello Liara! I hope all is well with you! If I'd read this post a few years ago, I would've saved myself a lot of grief! If only it seemed so simple then when I had a 19 year emotional attachment and block to a job that was threatening my health. Ah, we live and learn after all. And I've learned so much from that experience.

Donna, each experience is meaningful for who you are and how you think at a given moment. You can always choose to realize you are who you are because of every experience you've had and insight you've gained. Everything you do has real purpose.

Liara -

Superb thoughts! I always pondered about what creates sense of procrastination. Resistance is a rejection of self fulfillment, it creates angst that remains within our body as we do not flow with the nature. We tend to hold our emotions while resisting to thoughts that are naturally pushing us to move with the flow. Not to resist is the key to everlasting happiness.

Shilpan, it does seem a bit surprising to some people that they may unconsciously resist what they want and need most. Unconditional love, reasons for happiness, all exist and remain within reach. Its simply a matter of teaching yourself to experience them now.

I agree the truth is always felt. We must create awarness and listen to what we feel.

Mark, that idea resonates with me. It can seem easier to understand once you have evolved to the point where you naturally listen to your own vibes. Everyone can do this.
