Description
So much of what we want out of life does not require more effort and struggle, we simply have to stop resisting and allow what already is. As they say, “what we resist persists.” But how do we learn to let go and simply relax and enjoy? In this episode, Kristen and Isabel examine the root causes for our resistance and define how the inner resistance that is keeping us down differs from pain, aversion and fighting oppression. With their typical levity, they break down the steps for releasing our grip in order to realize the liberation that is already flowing underneath.
