I adore playing with Law of Attraction processes, especially through the teachings of Abraham-Hicks. I’ve had great fun over the years doing focus wheels, playing the ‘what if’ game, looking for positive aspects of situations and practicing many other great processes.

Yet, there’s one that I’ve shied away from a bit, even though I know it’s fabulous and I use it with clients. That process is ‘making peace with what is’.

 

The principle of ‘making peace with what is’.

The principle is simple, by making peace with an unwanted situation, by letting go of the resistance to it, you allow it to change, to evolve.

Yet, it’s hard to accept situations that feel wrong, like the job that feels like a drain or a relationship that feels ‘off’.

I see it a lot with my pet owning clients, when it’s hard for them to accept their pet’s illness and not wage war on it and this week I wrote a blog post on applying this principle for pet owners over at www.ferrisjay.com (it’s worth checking it out for some extra insights).

 

Putting it into practice.

Recently I found myself slap bang in the middle of some big contrast, where I was so keenly aware of what I didn’t want that I felt rotten and saw the worst of all options and I was too caught up in that to access positive thoughts about it. I knew this was my chance to practice ‘making peace with what is’.

I’ll be honest that when I first thought about ‘making peace’ with my situation (I’d had to take some time off and rest even though I had a lot that I’d planned and wanted to do over the past month) I felt resistance on every level of my being. How could I be ok with this discomfort when it felt so wrong and wasn’t resolved? How could I tell myself it was ok when it felt so ‘off’? I knew I should make lists of poitive aspects and count my blessings – but I knew I couldn’t do that straight away.

First, I had to diffuse all that negative emotion that had taken such a strong hold on me, so I called in ‘the big guns’ – EFT tapping and my tapping buddies.

It was only then that I was able to soften and relax a bit and find a better perspective and then make the very best of the situation.

Give it a try.

In this weeks video I have a tapping round to show you how to start to make peace with those situations that drive you mad and I also talk a bit more about the process of ‘making peace’ . Click here or on the image below to watch the video. (The actual tapping starts at 2.49 minutes in).

 

 

I’m also sharing this to show you that s**t happens, things don’t always go as planned and life is full of contrast. Yet, that doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with you. It’s more an opportunity to clarify and to re-focus. When things go wrong it can seem harder to find things to appreciate. I understand.

I hear a lot of people say that it’s easy to stay feeling good when things are good but it can be harder to stay upbeat if you’re seeing circumstances that aren’t good or wanted. Whilst that can be the case, I know there are always ways to get back to feeling good again. For me, EFT is one of the best tools for doing this. I quickly feel my resistance and tension softening and my energy really changes, allowing me to re-connect again to the truth that ‘all is well’. That’s why I love to share this work and make my videos, becuase I know from experience how well it works, both personally and with my clients.

What do you think?

I’d love to hear from you if you’ve tapped along with the video, to see how you felt afterwards and what shifts you had. So, leave a comment below if you’ve tried it. Or, let me know what ways you have found to ‘make peace’ with challenging situations in your life.

Feel free to share this post and video with anyone you know who will benefit from it.

Thank you.
