Can You Just Welcome What Is?
There is only now. The apparent problem is that most of us are wanting something different. The now always takes care of itself. So in this moment, whatever happens, is what’s appropriate – even if there’s apparent conflict. Sometimes, the apparent conflict comes up first for us to realize that there’s been miscommunication; there’s been a misunderstanding or whatever. In my experience, there are no mistakes; there is no right or wrong. There’s just what is.
How do you respond to any particular situation? The way that you do. The tools that you’re using with The Sedona Method are all very useful in the moment. If you’re feeling tense and you respond, you’ll probably create more tension. If you’re feeling relaxed when you respond, you’ll probably create more relaxation. If you’re feeling angry and you respond, you’ll probably create more anger. If you release the anger and respond, you’ll probably create more resolution.
The best way to release is to simply welcome what is. If you’re in the middle of a conversation with someone, especially if they don’t know this process, you can’t say, “Wait a minute. Hold on a second. I need to release before I strangle you.” (Smile). That doesn’t work. But, if you feel any kind of energy coming up in this moment, simply allow it to be here. Welcome it.
Welcoming can be done without any kind of thought process. It’s simply opening up inside and allowing what is, to be. You can do that in action, in the middle of a conversation, because it’s not a doingness. It’s what’s natural.
Welcoming is what’s natural. What is unnatural is all the other stuff that we add to it – the resistance. And even though it’s not natural, it is what it is, so what? This is always a place you can welcome from… even if it’s welcoming the fact that there’s conflict; welcome the fact that you don’t like the conflict.
Most of us, most of the time are trying to make the now different than it is, and we never succeed. No matter how hard we try, what is, always is. Can you just welcome that?
Love,
Hale
