Softening Resistance – Ophelia the Faerie
“I am here. I am with you.
Softening your resistance is a good place to start. The idea that you can release resistance all at once can be overwhelming and a bit unrealistic. But if you can embrace the concept of softening resistance, then that can take you a long way towards that complete releasing that you are all striving for.
So what do I mean by ‘softening resistance’ then? Softening resistance means existing side-by-side with that thing or that aspect of yourself or that idea that you feel so much negative emotion around. If you begin by simply giving yourselves the opportunity to experience it, with the intention of letting down your guard, with the intention of exploration, and with the intention of co-existing with it, then you will find that your resistance will soften automatically.
I want you all to recognize that whatever it is that you have resistance to is part of your set-up for this lifetime. It is not as though you are just resistant by nature, that you are going out looking for things to push against. You have very specific desires for this incarnation, and those desires relate to very specific experiences that you wanted to have. And one of those experiences was to face this monster that you are so resistant to and to eventually embrace it and let it be.
Your minds can find it difficult to even comprehend how certain things and certain acts and even certain individuals could be allowed to exist. Therefore, I recommend staying out of your mind, because certainly it is illogical for you to allow certain things to occur in your world.
But this experience you are having is not a mental experience. It is an energetic experience. It is a feeling experience. Therefore, when you let go of resistance, I also recommend that you let go of your thoughts about whatever it is that you are holding that resistance towards.
Start with softening. Start with softening resistance to something that is not so big and so scary and abhorrent. Let yourselves have that experience. You will find it gets easier as you move forward in this eternal becoming that you are engaged in.
I am Ophelia, and I love you.”
