Let everything be

One of my favorite techniques or triggers when it comes to sitting and being present is to say to myself that now I am not going to resist this moment anymore. Now, for the moment, I am just going to let everything be.  I am just going to let everything be as it is. I am not going to resist anything.
   It is amazing what this does for me.
   Just the thought—letting everything be—makes me blissfully happy!
   I love it… just to let everything be.
   I suggest you give it a try.
   What happens when you just let everything be as it is? When you have no resistance to anything? When you just are…
   How can I describe it?
   Why don’t you try it for yourself and see what happens.
   Why don’t you do it right now.
   It’s simply so liberating. Also because when you let everything be and rest in this moment, you have no comparisons.
   Because what in fact is resistance? Resistance is when you are comparing this moment, this something, to something else. This moment can only be “not good enough” if I compare it to something else. Without comparisons, everything is perfectly OK as it is. How could it be otherwise? Without comparisons, I’m home free. Without comparisons there is just this. Just this. And what could be wrong with this without the thought of that? Now you see it don’t you? Now you see that without the thought of something else, nothing can possibly be wrong with this. Without the thought of “if only”, this is always perfect. And that’s what I always discover when I decide to let everything be.     
   It’s the perfect meditation—always!
   Because it’s just this!
   So please give it a try. Just sit and keep coming back to that thought… and let everything be.
