Letting Go of Resistance

There are things going on in my life that I cannot control

Have to let it go... pray about it and let it go the more I do this the easier change will be

Emotions Just Are

In letting go of resistance, I learn resilience. In releasing the need to control or define a situation, I gain peace as my anxiety is much more calm. I enjoyed how the meditation teacher had a repetition of "Let go" in the moments of release. It's so easy to resist emotions. If I can accept them, then they don't have power over me. Initially, it's akin to allowing the emotion to hit me. Then, after giving up resistance, I find that emotions can't hurt me. That is, if I don't allow them to. Emotions just are.

Accept the change

Fighting is harder than accepting. Accept it and move forward

Changing perspective

I can wear myself out fighting or use my energy to not only accept change but alter my response, attitude and demeanor to possibly influence the change for my betterment.

Todays insight...

It takes more energy to fight it than to accept it and understand that I can not change it and I do not have to like it. I just can not allow it to control me.

Keep Calm

Daily meditations help me stay sane. I can't only rely on my therapist and medication. I have to work outside of those to really take care of myself.

Letting Go of Resistance

Life is dynamic and change is always happening. I have found certain changes very challenging, and continue to struggle with acceptance. This meditation reminded me that it is okay not to like the change I am facing. Acceptance is key to healing and letting go of my struggle with the changes.

Peace

I felt all the stress leave my body looking ahead too a very stress free day

Acceptance

I learned that you have to accept the way things are that are out of your control

Thank you so much.

I am so grateful for this meditation. It helped me remember that I can't make the present situation go away by resisting it, ignoring it, or shitting down to it. Hearing your words opened me up and I felt a shift towards acceptance.

I'm gaining control by letting go

The phrase "it is what it is" repeatedly throughout this meditation brought forth an immediate adverse reaction. A strong sense of needing to control. The thought that things are the way I create them to be. But we all know this isnt always true. I am coming to realize that by letting go I am not losing control but gaining acceptance. And through acceptance, able to move forward in a more constructive way.

Change will happen

It's ok to be apprehensive of change but it will happen regardless of my feelings, so be upset for a while but then let it go and know it is all for a greater plan

Letting go

Letting go and just being and accepting of what is feels so much lighter and sometimes all we need is a reminder like this. Great meditation this morning.

Not Resisting What Is...

Resisting what is prolongs suffering, is a battle we'll never win and drains precious emotional energy.

Let go

I learned through this session that I don’t need to control my thoughts. This session was a struggle at first as I seemed to have a battle with accepting just letting go. I didn’t want to accept my ever wondering mind and was trying to fight against letting go as I felt that would mean I’ve failed at reaching my goal of quieting my mind. It was in this struggle that I realized there is no fight, I do not need to control my thoughts but rather let them be and understand that my thoughts are not me but they are just that, thoughts. I feel this struggle with control extends to other aspects of my life and I need to learn that I do not need to control everything and everything is not my burden to bare.

Letting Go of Resistence

This is a difficult one for me because I have had a very painful and difficult 8 years plus when I was a child at times it was almost unbearable. I am letting go but I need much more practice. To hear the truth about letting go is one thing....doing it is another.

Letting go...

One of the hardest things; yet, sounds so easy. I have to let go to move forward. It’s not my battle....

Birth

Insisting on me being alive and choosing the values I affirm cost me time life and love and the worthlessness from old becomes never

I relearned there are certain things that I can't control

However, I can control my reaction to them. While not everything may be happy all the time I should not let myself not feel happy because of it.

Trying anxiety/sleep peacefully

It’s my first day using this paid app. It quietly brought me to sleep but I was trying to use this to fall asleep.... I chose the wrong meditation. And it was not as I expected. I wanted

Letting go

Loved hearing that everything is what it is and to resist it try to change it or control it causes more pain

Letting go

One of the most important things meditation has taught me is to let go and everything is temporary.

JUST BE. . .

Sometimes we just have to "be" . . . whatever that means for each of us. Deep breath and just live . . .

Let go

One's own fears can subtly destroy progression and development

Letting ho

We’re not always in control. Letting go of the need for constant control can help this.

Letting Go

This is what I need the most help with. I’m grateful to have this to practice.

Thankful Tuesday 1-9-18

Letting Go. I just want to thank my friends on Aura because you have made me smile and encouraged me and just made it that much easier through some of the tough times just recently. It is import to me that you know this. I am still recovering and in bed and my emotions are all over the map with all meds they have given me, but I am trying my best and am glad I am home. I am glad I have Aura to help me, so thank you! I wish Everyone a good day.

Letting Go

I feel like I’m stuck between the complacency of letting go and the hope that you have the power to change things in your life.

Let go

I’ve learned that when I am trying to take control i’m actually creating more stress for myself and becoming my own enemy. I’ve always tried to contain control over my life and my circumstances and it’s hard to just except things as they are and let go. I feel like I want to take control of the situation put the things I like back to where they were and make things turn out the best for me when I don’t even know what is best for me. I’ve said let go and let God for years but now that I’m in a really tough situation it’s hard to practice what I preached.

Letting go 1/22

I learned that I need to accept the way things are, and that it's OKAY to not like them. I need to simply... let go. Great practice.

Acceptance

Sometimes we try to fight things that we cannot change. Instead, it’s better to accept the changes we may dislike, so that we can learn and grow from those changes and experiences.

Change of mind

I need to accept what is going on and just deal with it. I need to not worry as much and just accept things for what they are. I need to be the most positive and accepting person that I can be.

Letting go.

I learned that I need to let go and accept things I cannot change. To let them leave my body and mind because I cannot change them.

Stand my ground

I learned that being sad doesn't mean I will not open my mind to the possible good things in the world.

Thinking to much

I have learned that by doing mediation before bed will help me get a better night sleep and start by day off in a better mood. It’s all mental nothing that medication or therapist could do to help. Only yourself

Let go

Things are the way they are. It is what it is. Don’t fear change.

Let go

Things are the way they are. It is what it is. Don’t fear change, accept it.

I'm a Disney nerd through and through

With each repetition of this phrase in this session, my mind just kept playing Queen Elsa's blockbuster anthem from the film Frozen: The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in; Heaven knows I've tried Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well now they know Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway It's funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me Can't get to me at all It's time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free! Now, if only i could believe this mantra for my own messed up life!😰

Let go

Let it go... it is what it is. Don’t harbor unnecessary things let them go

Letting go

It’s okay to accept at this time things are the way they are. Just remember that it won’t always be that way. Breathe and tell yourself to let go.

Stresss

I learned that I have a lot of stress and I need to let things go because everything is ok.

I learned that it is becoming increasingly ok to make mistakes .

Allowing myself to be in an open position of oneness cultivates a sense of wholeness , to me .

Let gi

Letting go of the things from your past that were hurtful and out of your control can help you find peace.

Letting Go of Resistance

*crying* this is so hard for me. & i feel bad that it is hard for some reason. I just need to LET GO. let things be. I need to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can, & have the wisdom to know the difference.

Letting go

This was very eye opening. I loved that I got to tell myself to “let go”. Being able to engage and actually tell myself to let go of things makes me feel more calm and free. I really loved it.

Letting go

It’s okay. Let it go. Relaxing your body and feeling your breath. And that change comes, and you don’t have to like it. But it is what it is.

Tension

My body is holding far more tension than I imagined. I needed more time and more practice to let it go.

Tense

I’m holding a lot of tension in with my stress, I need to accept the changes in my life and take a minute to let go each day.

Learning to let go of resistance

I learned that we can't control what happens but we can control how we feel about it and how we can let go of it.

My happiness

I don’t have to hold all my feelings in. And it’s okay to be sad. But I shouldn’t let that control me. It is what it is

Grrar

Holding onto the past does no good but hurt you in the present.

letting go

i learned that change is a way of life and sometimes it is out of my control. things will settle and get better.

I wish I could listen to this every day, maybe

Several times a day. Such a great lesson. (Why is this reflection too short. It shouldn’t be the length, but the meaning. Why is Meditation telling me this and ruining the moment?)

I really do need to let go of my stresses and realize the it truly isn’t the end of the world.

Everyone has hard moments in their lives and I need to learn that it will get better and be resolved.

Feeling down

I really miss what I had before from my old house really miss that I having my mind life crisis right now

I felt stressed about exams and friends.

I learned that I should first let go of the stress that exams have caused for me. I was having a headache and now I feel so much better. I feel free and loose. I couldn’t study and revise for I had so much to revise and so little time to do it. Also, my friends are kinda ignoring me and some are kinda being mean to me no matter what I do, like when I say something to the teacher and the teacher tells me that she doesn’t think the same, my friend tells “that’s what you get.” Rudely and we’re not close anymore cuz before she used to tell me we were and I thought that too, we got close quick now she’s like are we even that close to talk like that? Other friends are ignoring me, I went to middle school but I really miss my primary school friends. I really wanted them back and to have my old life back tbh. I tried to let go and now I feel better because I learned that some people are just like that, they may not like you anymore or they think your mean by just looking at your face no matter how nice you try to be, you may look angry and it’s your face, you can’t help that you look like that, you can hate it if you want. Also learned to ignore the things I have no control over like those matters with my friends. I’m really glad I took time with this plus, I haven’t gotten sleep much at all too and I feel dizzy.

I felt something let go

I’m starting to move on and not be as hard on myself as I used to be

Thank you for this meditation

By letting go was able to release the stress caused by something that happened today at work. I was unable to predict a customer’s behavior or the consequences. Change. Let go of what’s out of our control.

Hurting

I’ve felt so lost in my surroundings lately and very emotional. This gave me a positive outlook on my situations and to tell myself to let go and move forward to the better things.

Letting Go of Resistance

Even for just seven minutes it is so hard to accept chaos. Listening to this meditation about acknowledging the things you can’t control made me feel like the world was even more out of control than when I began the meditation. Made me feel helpless to admit I can’t change it.

Understanding

I worry too much about what others are doing and saying and how I don’t agree with it when I shouldn’t be focusing on what I can’t control but what I can.

Letting go

I let go of the thoughts of who I think I should be and simply embrace who I am today. I embrace the fact that I am reflective and introverted, loyal and friendly, cheerful and free-spirited. I tend to resist change and struggle with transitions but having gone through so many life changes in my 20-something years, I know I have not only the ability to survive, but thrive during these times.

Letting go is part of life

In life, you don't always get your way. And sometimes pain can take over our body and minds that it's hard to let go. We must learn to breathe, let go, and allow ourselves to understand that the nature of the universe is what it is.

Love & letting go

By struggling against unwanted change, we create our own suffering. Soften your heart through acceptance. Love yourself. Love the one that has left you. Accept life as it is and let them go.

relax and accept this

I need to LET GO and stop resisting the things BEYOND my control, find true acceptance

Another good one

The first few minutes of wisdom is sooo true. Thought regretting the past, thinking why me, etc... really makes the pain worse. People who come to me with gossip and other stories are going to hear this one whether they like it or not!

Complejidad

El aprender a aceptar las cosas como son se vuelve complejo ante la noción de roce con la mediocridad o con bajar estándares. Esta meditación me ha ayudado a darme cuenta que muchas de las cosas que he hecho están dentro del espectro correcto de mis esfuerzos y habilidades. Que muchas de las reacciones que recibo no son otra cosa más que la realidad afectada de otros y no precisamente la mia.

Acceptance

I learned that I can deal with a sad experience and move on. Things happen and I will breath deep and let it go!

Letting Go of Resistance

This was a very real physical experience for me. When I faced the negative events surrounding me in my life openly and recognized that they are changing my life for the better even though I do not like going through them I could feel physical changes occurring in my body. This is a very effective and beneficial meditation for healing!

Letting Go

I learned that letting go because every burden is not mines to bear it is what it is

Helpful to let go

It’s been a difficult time for me since I lost my job. This meditation was very helpful in reinforcing the importance of letting go of the painful situation and moving forward. It will take more than one listen for me - while I understand it in my head, I haven’t yet believed it in my heart. My hope is that this will happen and I can move on.

Acknowledgment

But accepting things for what they are creates less suffering. I can find a kind of peace from accepting and letting go

Letting go

This meditation was really emotional for me because I was in love with his guy and he treated me like I was the only person in the world. And one day he just left me and now he doesn’t want any kind of contact with me because if his parents. And it’s hard for me to left go because I want to be with him so badly. It’s been almost a month and I’m still thinking of him and thinking about what we could have been but bow it’s all ruined.

Letting go

Accepting a situation bc of something that i did is the hardest form of acceptance. It’s ok for me to feel this way. It’ll pass

Let go let her go

Let her go and forget about her she’s bad news and makes you feel bad she’s the reason your in this mess the reason you feel the way you do and all the other shit I’m ready for change and for you to leave because its the best thing for me rn not having you in my life makes me realize how much shit I let you get way with and how much you were killing me slowly every time so this is me done with you and saying goodbye

Bye bye big trees! 😌

Today, I had a bad surprise : my neighbors decided to cut the three big trees they had at the back of their house. I first heard the loud and violent sounds of the chainsaw. Seeing more and more cut branches, I then realized that they were cutting them completely... I was really sad, angry and frustrated at the same time. I would have like tu stop them and save the precious trees. I didn’t have all the courage to stop them, risking to create a conflict with my neighbors. This is confusing for me... We won’t see these wonderful trees anymore... And now, I discover this meditation: it is just what I needed. So thank you for these réflexions! I’ll do my best to let go, with love and rememberance. 🌳🌳🌳❤️❤️❤️ P.S. : Walking by, we found an acorn from one of the oaks. We’re planing to plant it in our backyard ! 😍

You do you

It’s not all your fault because it’s not all up to you. Your only in control of you, your thoughts and feelings and emotions, and the things you would do differently are all you. You can’t make them do anything they don’t want to do, they have to change themselves at their own pace and time. They need to want to be around you and give just as much effort and energy because it’s not just a one way street. It’s NOT just up to YOU. You have to let go of all the things you can’t change.

Resistance

I learned that resistance is not something that happens overnight. You need to be able to break down the problem and let go piece by piece. The more you let go, the more you’re able to grow.

Learning to Let Go

Very helpful. There is an unpleasant experience awaiting me that I cannot change and date not change. I must accept it and not add more suffering to my life.

letting go

I recognize that letting go of resistance to change will take daily attention and loving work. I will get there though....

Control is not that great

I try to control too much and it could be the reason why I suffer so much

Stop ignoring

I realised that most of the time, when things don’t go the way I wanted or planned, I pushed and/or ignored them, hoping the out of sight out of mind thing would work. But inevitably they would catch up on me and it’d be ten times harder to deal with rather than before. Now I have to learn how to accept things that are beyond my control, and learn how to flow with the change

Change

Change is a natural part of life, some changes might be easy for you but others not so much. This meditation taught me to accept the change and accept the now. Sometimes it is what it is but if you accept it for what it is, it turns out to be better than you thought.

Resistance

very insightful session so much energy is needlessly wasted trying to avoid things we’d rather not deal with. The more we ignore, pretend, obfuscate, distract, the worse the reckoning will eventually be. It is so much easier to simply face reality embrace the facts expose ourselves to the uncomfortable truths so very much wish to avoid , to deal with them rationally to admit our mistakes and move on

A favorite of mine.

This just became an instant favorite for me. This is exactly what I needed for what I’m struggling with in my life right now. Thank you.

Let go

I loved this one. There has been so much change recently and not enough acceptance that just saying the words ‘let go’ put a huge smile on my face. Love

Who would I be if I had no resistance?

I really enjoyed this. Lately I have been working on me. But this work is going to cause some changes. Changes that I know will be for the better. But change I’m afraid to to face. The unknown of what will be when I accept change.....Who I will be when I have no resistance 💙

Letting go

I’ve read somewhere that real change comes from real acceptance. And I believe this is true.

Appreciated the Head-on acceptance help.

I appreciated this one!! Thank you!!! Thanks for guiding us through a head-on way to process some ordinary, life, crap-feelings—instead of blasting us with pansy-assed, kumbyah, woo-woo, feel-good nonsense. This was very helpful in easing my frustrations, anger, & depression today. Finally. It was an awful day, but this helped me to soften the pain & anguish.

Happiness

I felt happier letting go of things holding me back, I feel a lot more relaxed

Letting Go of Resistance

I noticed that by accepting things are the way they are it creates a calmer mind. This does not mean we have to like the situation but acceptance rather than grappling with it provides a more positive outcome.

happiness

nothing is beyond my control and i need to let go. just let things go the way they should be

Letting go of my own resistance

I learned that I need to let go of my own resistance to change. I’ve already started doing this by trying not to argue a point that I know the other person won’t listen to. Of bu accepting I can only solve one problem at a time before I move onto the next. If I can solve this issue than I can worry about the next one and the next one after that. I hope this is me letting go of my own resistance in my life

Accepting what I can’t control

I learned that as I experienced opening myself to accepting what I can’t control gave me a feeling of optimism about making change in areas over which I have total control. Normally I feel more aware of what has power over me than what I have power over or power *to*. It was a great insight and moment of freedom for me.

04/24/19

I am calmer now, being open and excepting my feelings helps me work through them in a healthier way

One day at a time

I will be free once I am finally able to accept the fact that it’s always going to be something in life. However, it’s all about how I choose to perceive and go about life’s everyday challenges.

Make peace with where you are

Powerful Moment of acceptance, quieting down my energy and letting go. Letting go what? All the feelings that I don’t need, the desire to control the uncontrollable, letting go the struggle

Letting Go

It is what it is. Change is the constant, so I choose to go with the flow and seek harmony and not resistance. Let be and let go. 🙏🏻

Letting go

I learned that I need to accept and let it go. I can’t control what happens but I can accept it.

Letting go

I felt so much calmer and less anxious. Letting go soothes the soul and you have less stress.

Letting go

Letting go of the things that have passed. Let go of your life at Your old job. It’s gone. It will never return. It’s time to move on. The first step is accepting that it’s gone.

I Let Go

I learned that a bunch of Instagram followers don’t define my worth, that grades don’t define my worth and that it’s OK to accept the feelings that I experience every day. I feel so much better after doing this mediation!

Accepting

I accept that I can’t do anything about the things I can’t control and i should not stress about it anymore.

Let go

Let go of anything that holds you back. Struggling only makes the pain to prolong. We need to let things flow & take its course. A fish can only swim against the current for so long until it gets tired. Accept the reality of things, take a deep breath & let go.

Letting go

I learned that I can’t control what my brother and his fiancé does so I need to accept that and move on.

Let go

Yes! Let go, let go! Release tension, hands, feet, chest! Added laugh! Thanks.

Let it go

I feel peaceful and at ease instead of the anxious feeling. I need to take time for myself.

Release

I let go of harsh judgments of myself, I let go of problematic situations. It is what it is, so I accept things as they are.

Change is what it is acceptable is just admitting

Change is what it is. As otherwise discussed I need to ROLL WITH IT! Acceptance is just admitting the circumstances! Such common sense!

Letting go of resistance.

This was my best meditation so far. I felt more natural with it. I've been anxious for weeks and stressed for much longer. I just need to stop worrying and trust God. I have asked, step 1; and I know the s/he, they, have delivered, step 2; now I need only trust in the process, let go and receive, step 3. Remember the ring.

Reality can be harsh.

Acceptance has been my hardest lesson in life. I need to move forward and accept my life as it is and know the struggles ahead are of my own doing and learn and accept I have made many mistakes. I need a lot of work in this area of acceptance to break old unhealthy habits and form new healthy habits, not make excuses to repeat the old because it seems an easier path and then blame others or circumstance Acceptance of myself and the things I must change to move forward. Failure is not a weakness but the mountain of change seems too great to climb it is very overwhelming.

Acceptance and Patience

To wholeheartedly accept things the way they are…not anticipating how things should be..

Acceptance mean no fighting

Acceptance doesn’t mean that I agree. It just means that I acknowledge that it is, what it is…nothing more, nothing less….
