A note from Sean
I rarely use the word acceptance in a meditation. For some people it sounds like they have to like what happened, or agree with it. When someone may be carrying a lot, I start with acknowledge: this is here. Allowing can come later.
Try this today. Pick one small thing that is bothering you today, like a delay or a messy room. Say silently, “This is here right now.” Feel where it lands in your body and take three breaths. You do not have to like it or fix it.
Keep going: Power of Acceptance guided meditation and Radical Acceptance: What It Is and What It Isn’t.
This suits anyone fighting how things are right now. If what you are facing is heartbreak, grief, or trauma, go gently and stay with acknowledging. Stop when you need to.
