"There is no solution because there is no problem." Marcel Duchamp
The American spiritual teacher Adyashanti reminds us that "what we resist, persists." So if you seem to be stuck in a negative or painful experience, you can be sure you are resisting it. What we have forgotten is that every experience, regardless of whether we like it or want it or not, is legitimate, is there for us to learn from. So Adyashanti also reminds us that whatever we are experiencing in any moment, this is it, this is your reality and there can be no other. The heart of guidance is to be reminded that this is it, and that resistance is futile.
Individual Guidance is a space where you can inquire into the truth of your resistance to what is. The only requirement is the willingness to inquire and be open to what arises. The process is to allow awareness to present the experiences to investigate. We are not looking for trouble here, but consciously connecting to the energy of resistance and its cause, to what is there in that moment.
Resistance to what is, to the inner and outer experiences of everyday life, is the root of all stress and suffering. So these sessions primarily involve feeling and seeing our resistance directly through awareness. In this way we understand the illusory nature of our beliefs that cause this resistance. This process is best described as "allowing everything to be as it is". Once we are at ease with the experiences we resist, the causal conditioning unravels/dissolves on its own.
While similar to therapy, I want to stress that this is not therapy, but a place to embody tools, to unlearn conditioned beliefs and behaviors, and most importantly to expand both our compassion for ourself, and our capacity to experience what life offers. The context of all my work with others is that there is nothing wrong, nothing to fix, we are simply learning how to use our innate gift of awareness to its fullest potential, for the purpose of living life honestly and fully, just as it is.
