It’s Diwali
I’ve just finished a yoga class where the instructor, Danielle, talked about the triumph of light over darkness. This is what Diwali represents.
Light conquers darkness. The good wins in the end. It’s the plot we’re all supporting, as she reminded us. That’s the truth.
Now let’s look at what gets in the way – The resistance. I’m onto resistance. Big time.
Why do we resist what we need most ?
You know the saying: what we resist persists. Clearly. It’s the light trying to get in. The ego resists that. And with passion! It will do whatever it can to hold back on that movement in the direction of light. Whatever it is.
Telling the truth… Even to ourselves
It’s the mind holding the whole thing in its grip. Thinking it’s in control.
The ego mind can be the seat of fear – analysing, strategising.
The heart loves and risks. It’s an adventure. And it feels good.
So why are we doing our best to resist exactly what we need ? And what would move us along on our journey to love, truth, joy.
Perfect peace, perfect health ~ Everything our soul came here to experience.
Susan Jeffers wrote a book with a brilliant title: Feel the fear and do it anyway. Whatever scares us most is often the exact right step for us.
What about resistance ? Well, I’d say it’s an even purer indicator of our next step. There might be a wobble, or a few, in there.
Still, we persevere. We let the Light triumph over the darkness. We let the good win.
One little shift at a time, we move towards Love again and again… all day long. It adds up and overflows !
Light conquers darkness. We RISE and Shine. We inspire others with our joy and courage.
As we overcome resistance – the ego, the fear – and embrace the lightness of being, we blossom.
We find our heaven on earth 🌟
