So again, the game of opposites, what you've been avoiding is the doorway to what you deeply desire. And so in this way, the energy that we've been avoiding as it's welcomed and integrated into our nervous system, it's no longer driving the car unconsciously in our lives, making decisions for our businesses and for the rest of our life.
And I love this framework from my meditation teacher, Adyashanti. He talks about freedom to versus freedom from. So freedom from is really escapism. So it's like, I need this thing to get out of my life so that I'm free versus freedom to is real freedom. It's being free enough to meet all of life.

It's saying yes to whatever arises in the moment, knowing that I'm free enough to navigate my human experience, all the thoughts, all the feelings, all the sensations. And so we can either try to manage and control things outside of ourselves so that we don't feel certain things, but then we feel anxious because we can't control what's outside of us.

Or a more empowering way to live is to stretch the capacity to be with the range of our human experience and learn the art of letting sensations move through the body. And when we do it this way, it frees up all the energy that we were using to control and avoid, and it opens us to new levels of vitality, creativity, and aliveness.

then we don't have to try to manipulate our lives to avoid feeling certain things because we now know we're free and that we can handle whatever sensation arises in the moment. And so what if instead of running away from something, you turn towards it? What if instead of trying to escape it, you discover the freedom of being with it?

Real transformation comes by meeting life fully exactly as it is. And then no matter what's happening, we can access a deeper peace that doesn't come and go, right? It's always available underneath the fearful thoughts and the fearful feelings. As we meet them with acceptance, it parts the clouds so we can experience that peace that's underneath it.

Plus, it's just a lot more intelligent to do because I don't know if you've noticed, but what we avoid, we actually create. Let me ground this for a moment. So let's take relationships. Let's imagine that there's somebody that is afraid of abandonment. And so they become really clingy. And then their partner feels smothered by their clingy behavior and their partner starts to pull away.

That creates the very abandonment that the person was trying to avoid in the first place. I'll share another example of what you avoid you create, but in a sales context. So let's say somebody is avoiding pitching to work with them because they're afraid of rejection. And so they end up hinting at their offer because they don't want to feel pushy.
