Resistance is part of the Journey we make to healing and to One-ness in us. Its fuel for the work- the greater the rewards at the end of the resistance- because often the resistance is very much a defence. We are protecting ourselves strongly- beneath this protection will lie the wounded part of us, the vulnerable part of us, the part of us that may have been so protected for so long it has never been able to express itself. It could be the warrior in you,the poet, the creative, who knows!

Along the way it’s good to know that resistance is striking so we can know to work through it, honour it and make it your friend.

Here are some I have experienced in my own healing journey and have witnessed as a healer over the years.

I have already healed this- why is it coming up again?

I don’t want to go over painful memories

I have dealt with that and I dont want to think about it

I have done the work I dont need to go re visit it

Inability to turn up to healing appointments or events on time

Getting distracted from doing any of the inner work- sometimes there is always something else to do- somewhere else to be

Feeling it is down to other people- if only so and so was more like this or that

Using finances as a reason not to- rather that saying how can I make this work, ask for help with this?

I don’t believe in healing, prove to me it works

Not wanting to travel to an event/workshop/appointment- I would go if it was closer

I don’t need healing- everyone has issues, that’s life

I would if only…..

I have been to many workshops and I have done much healing…….

Why does this happen to me?

Someone is cursing me

This is taking too long- how long will it take?

When will I get “better”?

Boredom with the process of going inwards

Blaming others for events in our lives

These are a few. Resistance can be our friend and for words on how we can befriend Resistance, you are welcome to listen to this latest podcast here

Resistance is often born of fear – and that is okay. Fear is one of our greatest gateways to this deep inner work. And can be deeply transformative should we choose to Journey into it, come to understand and know it and in so doing release it.

Have a look and see how many of the resistance examples may apply to you at various points in your healing journey and honestly ask was I in resistance? It is when we truly surrender to the process that the magic starts to happen.

And more words on that to follow soon.

Till then- Walk in Beauty and Stay Blessed
