Acceptance represents one of the greatest and most powerful of all human gifts. Acceptance represents the portal to the true nature of the Universe, which is love. The path of love is the path of acceptance, which is not a technique but more of a seeing. In order to accept something about yourself, and especially something uncomfortable, it first must be recognized. This kind of acceptance takes place when you build up the courage to look into your Shadow.

The Shadow that corresponds to acceptance is Constriction. Because each Gift has a Shadow. When the Shadow is faced and integrated, the Gift gets fully activated. And when this happens the door to your awakening is unlocked.

Constriction exists when love is absent and is the underlying source of all human suffering. We can feel it in our body, it creates tightness around the chest and tension into the abdomen. We experience this constriction while we are in the womb, through the breathing patterns of our parents and the emotions they have. And during our birth, while we are in the birth channel. It is deep encoded in our DNA, passed from our ancestors as genetic blueprint. If you tune into your body you will sense it deep inside you, and your reaction to this discomfort defines the shape of your life. If you run away from the pain, you will live a life of denial and distraction, lost in mediocrity. A half-life. The harder you repress the pain inside you, the more it will weight you down. However, if you have the courage to honour and listen to the pain, everything will change for you. You will discover that if something is wound around you, constricting you, it must have a purpose. And that purpose is to unwind. When you face the pain through acceptance, the wound begins to unwind and another higher paradigm opens before you.

To be born in a physical body can be experienced as the ultimate constriction, the ultimate limitation. Especially if your reality is rooted in fear. Fear is the result of all low frequency energy fields. Fear creates a very effective loop that ensures its own survival: fear is afraid of itself, which ensures that it never accepts itself, which ensures that it always survives. The deepest fear of all is the fear of not existing, the fear of death.

The only way to break this loop is to have the courage to simply feel the fear. As soon as you reduce the fear down to its essence, which is a physical sensation deeply encoded within the chemistry of your body, you discover the secret of acceptance. You are no longer afraid of fear. In allowing yourself to experience the pure fear, you begin to feel a subtle softening around your chest and slowly your breathing changes, it becomes deeper. Your heart slowly opens.

The process of accepting whatever you feel at any given moment will transform you and after a while you will really feel different. You are moving out of the low frequencies of victim Consciousness and experiencing higher levels of Consciousness. The frequency of suffering will still exist and it will keep returning to test your level of acceptance. Over time your acceptance deepens further until you finally let go of your need to escape the pain. At this stage the acceptance becomes complete.

It is important to understand that this is a process. Acceptance is not something you can easily learn. The technique, if you want to call it that, is to be aware in each moment and practice the acceptance of whatever the Universe brings in your path. The paradox is that any attempt at trying to accept your nature only reveals a subtle level of unacceptance.

When you can finally accept everything in your life just as it is right now, you will transcend your human condition. You will walk through life with an air of coming from another world, while at the same time you are grounded and open to help others. You will carry the seed of love. And people will sense this at a subconscious level when they are in your presence.

Everyone in your life is part of your own wound and the healing of that wound. Through acceptance you will begin to feel the extent of your pain and you will understand that is all about you. All events, all the characters you met in your life have one role: to help you heal and awaken. You don’t have to be afraid of the pain as it is the direct and the only way leading to your heart.

Acceptance comes in layers. You have to relax these layers deep inside you, so that you can feel the flow of love moving within your being. The more you accept yourself and others, the more love will come in your life. The deeper you move into acceptance the more you open your heart to human pain, so the pain can be transformed. And the more pain you transform, the more love you feel. It is as simple as that.
