Q

How do we deal with resistance?

A

Resistance comes with contemplation, the second stage of change.
Resistance as what we say about the water, there’s lots going on under the surface it’s not after us to decide how fast the client moves.

Resistance can be refrained from awareness, maybe there’s something unsafe there? Maybe there is a Boundry that needs to be said?

Maybe there is fire there that needs to be addressed first

Resistance is totally normal

Don’t push against a resistance try to dance with it
