Self love audios while imagining yourself expressing yourself to others the way you want to.
While you imagine this, anticipate the resistance that comes from imagining this. And… lean into it. Accept it. By that I mean, become the resistance. Embrace it. As you do, allow yourself to accept however others may percieve all of you. Leaning into getting rejected by others. Leaning into you not being able to say anything interesting. Embrace that. Why?
Because those fears are walls of of resistance that block your full flow of expression. If you embrace the potential of rejection and whatnot, then there is no resistance at all. And then your flow of thought is free and can express itself how it wants to. And that’s where confidence comes from. That’s where ALL of you comes from and where you can say the things you want and have a great flow come naturally. It works like magic.
It sounds counter intuitive and impossibly hard but I’m telling you, because if you have already come to find self love… then this isn’t impossible for you. What I’m speaking of is the essence of self love. Loving yourself in everything, in every moment, at your worst and at your best. Loving the resistance within too!
Loving all of that is a matter of acceptance. Fine, you don’t have to fully embrace it but accepting it as a part of you is fine enough. And strangely, accepting it as a part of you, makes it not be a part of you against you anymore. It becomes your flow and now you can move that flow in whatever direction you want rather than get pulled in whatever direction its inclined to move in.
You know thinking on this, it’s funny how many times I forgot the whole ‘lean into resistance. Look for it. And find it. That is where your shadow lies. Accept your shadow and it becomes part of your light rather than something opposed to you.’ I guess, I get to points in my life where I meet something in my mind that I don’t want to accept and forget that simple insight I learned many years ago.
But I’ve managed to get past most of that. Now I’m dealing with more hidden resistance that I don’t consciously know about but will through more meditation.
