Many of us seek to teach others, which is simply a code word for fixing our child, parent, spouse, etc.   If you come to someone with the intention of fixing them, what are you actually holding for them in your consciousness?  That they are “sick” or “broken.”

To effectively heal many have found that the best approach is to find our own internal peace in regard to the other.  Then the other can heal on their own in accordance with their free will to be or not to be exactly what they are, their highest self.

Take each person in your life where they are now, just the way they are, no more or less.  That means accepting and loving them exactly the way they are, even if they have traits or even if they’ve done things that you are still resisting.

The Exercise:

1. Go through each person who is prominent in your life at the moment in both negative and positive ways and think of them one by one.

2. Feel any resistance that you have toward them in any way at all.  You may even find you have resistance to the one you claim to love the most.

3. Agree that you are now finished with that resistance and that you intend to love them as they are today, not before when they were perfect or tomorrow when they’ll be better in your eyes, but NOW.  These words or whatever you prefer may suffice: “I am done resisting you (Bob, Sally, etc).”   I know this is a bit “dualistic,” so you may prefer this: “I am done with all resistance.”

In case your ego comes up and says “A little resistance is good,” remember that you can take plenty of action in your life, but it will all be easiest when there is no resistance to taking action.

4. Simply sit with that person in mind until you no longer feel any resistance to them, until you feel only love for them as they are.  From there, you will find that things can shift, because finally, there is true unconditional love.

Watch what happens.  ; )
