RAIN of Acceptance

Too much of our precious energy is tied up in knots of avoidance: the people, places, emotions, commitments we don’t accept as being part and parcel of our lives.  When we don’t accept our lives and bodies as they currently are, we cut ourselves off from depths of emotion that lead to wholeness and healing.  That disconnection is the void of resilience.  Using Tara Brach’s RAIN of compassion (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) we become honest about the suffering avoidance has caused us, and we can take small steps toward freeing up our life force, or even Amor Fati, falling in love with our fate.
