As you go into the energy of acceptance in your heart, your ego diminishes simultaneously.
It is after all your ego that generates the resistance to any experience in the first place.
As that happens, there is more room for your spirit which is already in surrender and flow.
The first time you consciously allow this without running away or distracting yourself or going into fight or flight, it can feel really uncomfortable.
However, when you get to the other side of the discomfort, having gone through it, there is suddenly a feeling of lightness, of a deeper, older heaviness having lifted, of peace, of expansiveness.
Thereafter, your body remembers this sense of ease so it no longer takes too long to allow this discomfort and subsequently, “discomfort” takes on a purpose and new meaning and therefore no longer feels as uncomfortable.
It becomes easier and easier to go into acceptance and this ease then translates into inner peace.
