May BodyTip: Befriend Your Resistance!

Spend some time breathing into your body (which hopefully you are doing every day by now!), moving to some music (again a great daily practice), and spending time within. Next, become aware of any resistance, tightness, contraction, uncomfortable feeling in your body.  Now… just be with it … “hang with it”, embrace it, befriend it!  When we surround our resistance with attention, when we include it in our sense of feelings (rather than push it away or try and get rid of it) or even love it (what a thought!), something amazing happens.  You will find that the resistance often dissolves!  Or, it reveals what it needs so that it can let go.

Try it! Post a comment below and let me know how this goes for you and what you discovered!
