Resist Nothing
Description
In this episode, we explore what it really means to resist nothing. Together we look at how easily we fight what’s here — trying to fix, change, or control life — and how real surrender begins when we allow things to unfold just as they are. We talk about the difference between giving up and letting go, and how awareness itself dissolves resistance. Drawing from Eckhart Tolle, David Hawkins, and Sally Kempton, we reflect on how even pain and fear are part of consciousness expressing itself. When we stop pushing against life, we discover a quiet trust that carries us through every moment.
