Acceptance, like Forgiveness . . . Will set you Free ! March 30, 2016
Accepting and Allowing 'What Is' is an important lesson to learn and once we are willing to learn and practice it, it turns into a powerful tool for releasing and/ or preventing unhealthy, heavy emotions (Vibrations) that otherwise hinder us in our life.
Non-Acceptance is a very common form of Resistance that we often hold as a result of judging something as ‘Right or Wrong’.
Unfortunately, judgment keeps us stuck in a place where we don't feel good, and this does not serve us.

Acceptance means that I must be ‘willing’ to let go of my believe that I am right’, despite my justification as to why I am ‘right’ and thus in some way ‘responsible’ to hold onto what I feel . . . even though it does not feel good !
I am certainly not suggesting that it may not be true that ‘I am right’, but what good is it to be right when it makes me feel so bad ? What do I want ? Would I rather be right or feel good?

Unfortunately many people cling to their ‘right’ and / or their ‘responsibility’ to hold on to non-acceptance because they feel that somehow it would be ‘wrong’ to accept something they believe to be wrong.
They inaccurately belief, by choosing acceptance they are condoning or supporting what they are accepting. Furthermore, they tend to believe that this acceptance means that ‘it’ would stay as ‘it is’ indefinitely, when in truth it is often just the beginning of allowing a beneficial shift to take place within us.
These misperceptions often result in unhealthy energy patterns that get repeated in some way until we recognize them, and we realize that they do not serve us. At this point we start to see that we must change them from within us if we want to move forward.
We can learn to shift these untrue perceptions once we recognize that:
We are only accepting ‘what is' . . . that we can’t change . . . in this moment.
We realize that resisting what is out of our control is only feeding the power it holds over us.
On the other hand: When we allow ‘it’ to be ‘what it is’, and then use our skills to the best of our ability to move us in a positive direction . . . then we are the ones who stand in our own power and we are consciously creating a better outcome than what it would otherwise be.

The most important and most often missed reality about Acceptance, is the same as it is about Forgiveness: Acceptance has nothing to do with others . . . it is all about us ! It is about the perceptions we hold and the resulting choices we make about how we want to feel and live our life. Acceptance, like Forgiveness . . . will set us Free of unhealthy, heavy emotions that do not serve us and it will pave our path to greater joy and happiness . . . if we Accept it and Allow it !
Acceptance does not mean that:
I will not take certain action in an attempt to improve something going forward.
I resign myself to something being as it is forever (i.e. it does not mean that I give up).
I ‘Approve’ of or condone what I am accepting.

Acceptance does mean that:
I accept ‘What Is’ . . . in this moment . . . allowing to release any Pain and Tension (Resistance) that causes dis-ease.
I accept what I cannot change . . . in this moment . . . with the understanding that:
* There is Divine Order.
* Everything is as it should be . . . in this moment . . . for whatever reason . . . even when I do not
understand it and it appears otherwise.
* Everything is working out for everybody’s Highest Good . . . even when I do not understand it or it
appears otherwise.
I accept ‘What Is’ . . . in this moment . . . with the understanding that:
* I am able to accept something from the perspective that ‘IT IS’ in this moment without approving, liking, condoning, or reacting to it.
* I am . . . or I will do what I can (or must) do in an attempt to better something.
* It is my task to learn new skills that help me grow and expand for my Highest Good.

Another type of Acceptance is not about to what we cannot change, instead it is about what we must change but often either do not want to change or we are just not seeing it.
The sooner we accept the truth and decide to make changes within us . . . the easier and the better life gets.
I accept ‘What Is’ . . . that is not working or that is not serving me, and I start looking for ways to break this pattern and move myself forward into a beneficial direction.
