Intense sensations as invitations

The sensations of intensity we feel from stress, whether good or bad stress, physical or emotional, are simply signs for us to choose to soften and embrace what is happening. These sensations are invitations to become channels for all of the experiences we are meant to experience as humans, letting them flow through us rather than bracing against them.

When we soften and embrace, we gain the power to co-create with life, rather than pushing against it and suffering. We waste so much energy thinking things should be different when our job is to accept them as they are and be a tiny part of their evolution through loving them, rather than controlling them and trying to constrain them.

Intensity isn't the enemy; it is actually our truthful friend. The belief that we should resist intensity is the enemy. Every sensation is life moving through you, asking you to open rather than clench, to allow rather than fight. This is how we participate in our own lives without exhausting ourselves trying to manage them. This is peace and joy.

What would open up within you if you stopped resisting what is meant to flow through you?
