Letting go is powerful
It can seem like a paradox - that to practice a patient and accepting curiosity towards even our painful experience - can be powerful.
Some people worry that if they practice acceptance and letting go of their experience that this will mean that they are not acting powerfully to change situations in their lives that need changing. From the evidence, the opposite seems to be true.
This kind of practice means giving ourselves time and space to really know ourselves, to calm down and reflect, so that our actions can be more in line with what is beneficial and helpful to ourselves and those around us.
