What are you resisting? Acceptance means you give up to the truth – the facts, reality – no matter what it is.
The Practice: Accept It
Why?
As general clusters that each include a number of specific methods, my top 5 types of practices (all tied for first place) are:
- Be mindful
- Love
- Take in the good
- Go green
- Open out
The practice of “go green” helps you get out of the brain’s fight-or-flight, reactive“red zone” setting, and instead, engage in life from its recover-and-refuel, i.e., the responsive, “green zone” setting.
In this JOT, we’ll enter into the fifth cluster – open out– by which I mean relaxing into a growing sense of connection, even oneness, with all things. For some, “opening out” could go all the way out to something transcendental (it does for me). But I’m going to write about this practice in very down-to-earth, practical, and psychological terms.
