Use this to breakthrough your resistance to healing

Will I ever change? 

Is this the right thing for me to do?

What’s the point?

These are some of the questions, doubts and worries people who are on the healing journey tend to have in their life.

They want to change their life and heal but when they try to take the steps necessary they are met with internal resistance, self doubt and overthinking.

If you’ve had these same struggles in your own life then I’m writing this article to speak to you.

It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

The key to breaking through your resistance is to stop fighting against or trying to control the experiences you’re having.

This might seem like a simple solution so let’s go a bit deeper.

We all have our likes and dislikes.

It’s a function of the ego to have preferences.

However, the tighter we hold onto our preferences, the more we will suffer.

The ego says “I want this” and “I don’t want that”.

The true self says “I see it all without judgement or attachment”

The main problem people have is they never get past their ego.

They never connect with the ultimate truth of reality.

The true self or the “I” that is aware of everything.

The reality of life is that it’s inclusive.

It’s full of likes and dislikes.

It’s full of positives and negatives.

When we try to cling on too tightly to how we think it “should” be, we end up suffering how it “is”.

When we learn to accept life for what it is and we get beyond our ego, that’s when we can release our resistance to the experiences we’re having in life.

I learned how to do this back when I had my first spiritual awakening.

Awakening The Limitless Self

When you have a spiritual awakening, you realise that you are not the ego.

You are actually an unlimited spiritual being.

The true nature of being limitless is the understanding you’re totally complete and whole right now in this present moment.

• You’re not broken.
• You don’t need to be fixed.
• There’s nothing wrong with you.

The experience you’re having now is included in the full spectrum of life.

The problem is you try to exclude experiences you don’t like and you only want to include experiences you do like.

This way of being is fundamentally built on limitation.

“I want this” and “I don’t want that”.

“I am this” and “I am not that”

That is the definition of limitation.

It’s a false narrative that we’ve developed usually through our earlier life.

The Universal Law Of Polarity

The universal law of polarity states you can’t have one thing without the other.

You can’t have night without day.

You can’t have good without bad.

You can’t have hot without cold.

You can’t have positive experiences without negative experiences.

The longer you try to compartmentalise your life, the longer you will suffer.

When you open yourself up to the totality of life, you will find freedom.

For most that’s scary and it’s scary because it’s unknown.

When you’ve spent your whole life living in limitation, the unlimited can be overwhelming.

However when you learn to trust the unknown and trust your capacity to hold all of life, that is when you will be able to live as your peaceful, loving and limitless self.

Your true self.

Dissolving The Limited Self

If you want to break through your resistance to healing, you must dissolve your ego.

This requires a dissolving of all your tightly held beliefs.

It’s a dissolving of your limited self concept.

It’s a dissolving of your survival paradigms.

And it’s an unfolding into your transcendent state of being.

This process is often uncomfortable and met with resistance.

Imagine the caterpillar that needs to break out of the cocoon to become the butterfly.

It’s kinda like that.

It’s messy. It’s sticky. It takes a bit of work.

It requires your courage, your trust and a deep sense of self acceptance.

You need to learn to accept yourself fully.

You need to accept your past, your present and your future.

You need to accept the “good” sides of you and the “bad” sides of you.

You need to process the shame and guilt that’s weighing you down.

The lotus flower grows through the mud.

The journey of spiritual awakening is not only about love and light.

It’s about bringing that love and light into the depths of your darkness.

That’s what it means to accept yourself fully.

That’s what it means to love yourself completely.

That’s what it takes to break through your resistance.

Ask yourself this… Do you love peace more than you hate depression?

Because you need to make a commitment to become the peaceful version of yourself despite how much you might hate the experience you’re having right now.

It’s not necessarily easy, but it also doesn’t need to be hard.

• Be patient. 
• Trust the process.
• Have the courage to lean in.
• Decide to be committed.

If you can’t commit to your own healing, you’re fucked and you’ll stay stuck on the karmic cycle of suffering.

When you commit to the process of finding alignment with your true self and you have the courage to let go of the ego self who is running false narratives, that’s when you’ll start healing.
