I have been facing a lot of resistance in the things I do, my own anxieties, a lack of routine, the stress of the Festival of Colors event coming up, my little dog not being too well, and just life’s small weights adding up. I see around me that many people too are facing similar challenges.
“Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.”
- William Shakespeare, As You Like It
It is easy to speak about growth when life is smooth. It is different when the pressure is real. Yet perhaps resistance is not the enemy. Perhaps it is the refinement.
Tonight at Mystic Mandala Center at 6:30 PM, we will meditate on how the very problems on our path become our teachers. Not bypassing them. Not dramatizing them. Simply sitting with them, allowing awareness to reveal the hidden jewel within the struggle.
If you too are carrying something heavy, join us.
Let us sit together and transform resistance into clarity.
