About this Session
Acceptance is an essential spiritual quality. Resisting the present reality of our lives leads to conflict and frustration. Steve Taylor’s research has shown that sudden spiritual awakening often occurs amid psychological turmoil when a person accepts their predicament, letting go of their resistance. In this session, Steve illustrates the power of acceptance, leading meditative exercises and discussions, as well as reading his poem “The Alchemy of Acceptance.” Acceptance is not the same as resignation. It can also bring the clarity and energy to enact necessary change.
When we replace resistance with acceptance, conflict and tension melt away. Duality fades away as we become one with the reality of our lives.
