This three part article explores the spiritual aspects of learning to be more accepting of the people and situations in your life as well as more accepting of yourself - by co-creating gracefully, surrendering to God and focusing on what you want. Part Two includes some examples from my own life and how applying the principles helped me, including a look at the demands of the ego. Part Three is a reference sheet that is valuable to help you become calm and more accepting when faced with an upsetting situation.I believe that before we are born to this life, before we incarnate, we make certain agreements or contracts, and, through them, we choose to learn more about certain Divine principles, like love, forgiveness, compassion and acceptance. We co-create our lives by accepting that every experience in our lives is there to help us fulfill a contract, or learn a principle. Our choice is to move through life's lessons gracefully or kicking and screaming, being stubborn, getting stuck on the WHY of it all. As Caroline Myss says, God will never give you an answer to that "Why" question, so just give it up! Perhaps another way to look at that is to assume that the WHY is always for you to learn something, to make you stronger in some aspect of your life. There's at least one good thing that comes from every 'negative' experience. So the choice is to keep the good, the productive, and to release the negative, or non-productive, elements from any experience.For example, what if a person that betrayed you, and we all have at least one of those in our lives, turned around as he or she was leaving your life and said, "I was Divinely directed to betray you, to make you stronger. We agreed before you incarnated. You wanted me to do this. Take this experience and let it move you to the next level of your growth." If it were that clear, it would be easy to accept the situation, easy to forgive that person, wouldn't it? I mean, you asked them to do that. Well, quite simply, that is what is happening in all of our lives, it's just not that clearly stated for us, but if we can remember this concept when situations arise that are difficult to accept, it will make it easier for us to move through them, learn from them and let them go.I think a good way to look at this whole acceptance thing is like being in quicksand. The more you struggle, the more you resist... the faster you sink. Once in it, its weight makes it very difficult to get out, like being in wet concrete. The ego can be compared to the quicksand. The more mired you become in the ego's 'shoulds' and 'deserve,' in its trying to control what it cannot control, the longer you stay stuck. You end up wasting your energies on the flailing (buying into the ego's running commentary) instead of creating peace within by relaxing into the situation.You see, if you relax in quicksand, your body will float in it because your body is less dense than the quicksand. Relaxing into a situation that is not to your liking allows you to float, to go with the flow, instead of fighting it.The experts say to make slow movements when you're stuck in quicksand to bring yourself to the surface. To move to a greater level of acceptance in your life, try taking slow steps, baby steps, from wherever you are, from whatever level of acceptance you are able to be in at that moment, and move toward full and complete acceptance. This will allow you to go with the flow more easily, to float above it all.In Part Two, I'll explore more fully the application of these principles, with more on the ego and its part in making it difficult to accept our lives as they are.Eleqara is a distance, intuitive healing practitioner and spiritual life coach.
