Acceptance Meditation
You'll enjoy this superb Acceptance Meditation by Maire K.C. Smith. -------------------------- 1. First ground and centre. 2. Then, as things come into your mind, say to them in your mind, "I accept you." 3. It doesn't matter what you notice or think of; you just tell everything that you accept it. You may sometimes find yourself in a loop where after you have said "I accept you," the next thing you notice is that you don't want to accept the thing. That's okay. What you do then is to say "I accept you" to your own lack of acceptance. -------------------------- It's okay to repeat yourself. If you're stressed you'll be quite likely to have repeating worries; you don't need to deal with them now, just tell them that they are accepted. This meditation is about accepting the existence of everything you notice. Before trying to change yourself or your world, it is helpful to have a really clear sense of the current state of things. By accepting everything without making judgments, you force yourself to acknowledge everything you notice, instead of denying the things that make you uncomfortable. Maire K.C. Smith's meditation (copied above) is available on her site. |
