The Power of Acceptance vs Techniques used in Various Therapies

What is the most powerful healing or transformational technique or therapy currently existing? We could go on for a while on that one! It would be easy to elaborate on why and how this or that modality is more powerful than this other one. Each person would of course come up with a different opinion and a bunch of valid reasons giving great explanation about why they prefer a certain healing technique to another. But in the end, does the technique itself really make that much of a difference?

We often hear: mind over matter, the power of your intentions, you created that on some level, that must be some sort of self-sabotage, 95% of everything that you say, think or do comes from your unconscious mind, and so on. And I’m sure you have also heard of people who healed from a terminal illness by watching comedies and laughing all day or by taking placebo pills. So even though the healing technique used can have great benefits, we must recognise that there’s something going on on the unconscious level which can either create the illness, hang on to it or release it. This brings me to mention the most POWERFUL way to heal yourself, it’s so simple that we tend to dismiss it as soon as we hear it.

And that is acceptance. If you were in a state of total and unconditional acceptance of what is, it is quite conceivable that you may never feel fear again, you may never suffer again, you may never feel misery, helplessness, longing, heaviness, and craving or stress again. It’s the resistance to what is happening or to what has happened or what might happen that creates a blockage within you and between you and the flow of Life. The lack of acceptance of a past event can lead to carry resentment, suffering and emotional pain. And similarly, the lack of acceptance of the present leads to stress, agitation and frustration. And again, in a very similar way, the lack of acceptance of the future leads to anxiety, worry and fear. We resist what hasn’t even happened yet!

Most of what all therapies, healing or transformational techniques do is to help us to let go, to drop our resistances to the past, the present and the future. They help us release blockages or make us feel neutral towards something that was bothering us on either a physical, mental or emotional level. If we were constantly in a state of total and unconditional acceptance of what is, we would go without resistance in the flow of Life, not needing anything to be different from what it is, not resisting the facts and totally at peace with whatever life brings along. That does not mean that you should let yourself be abused or taken advantage of, it means that you accept the fact of what is happening now and take responsibility for the change. And whatever you can’t change, you can accept. The amazing thing is when you accept something totally and unconditionally, it stops bothering and often the change happens in a way that you didn’t expect.

So maybe the healing technique itself that is used is not as important as acceptance. I firmly believe that any therapy can catapult its results exponentially simply by adding acceptance. It doesn’t have to be complicated, simple is good! And simple works!

I teach techniques to live in total and unconditional acceptance of what is, and my clients say that the change is quick and amazingly powerful. I have seen unbelievable results, when someone may have tried a myriad of therapies to try to feel better, where tens of thousands of dollars sometimes had been invested in therapies and personal development with limited success, and within a couple of hours of work together suddenly their stress level had dropped by more than half, and sometimes nearly completely gone. They had found a new way of living: to be in their essence. The power of acceptance can eclipse just about any worry or stress on which you spent so much time and efforts every day that you thought was part of you, and make you realize that you have a choice. You can choose to be free. And it may be simpler than you think. Keep looking at this blog and you will see more and more resources that will be useful to you.
