Stay present with whatever arises from "summary" of The Radical Acceptance of Everything by Ann Weiser Cornell
The practice of staying present with whatever arises is about being fully with our experience in the here and now. It means not trying to push away or avoid our feelings, thoughts, or sensations, but instead turning towards them with an attitude of openness and curiosity. This practice invites us to meet each moment with a sense of acceptance and kindness, allowing whatever is present to be just as it is. When we stay present with whatever arises, we create space for our experience to unfold naturally. We let go of the need to control or manipulate our inner world, and instead trust in the wisdom of the present moment. This practice helps us to cultivate a deeper connection to ourselves and our experience, allowing us to respond to life with greater clarity and authenticity. Staying present with whatever arises is not about denying or suppressing our difficult emotions, but rather about acknowledging and embracing them with compassion. By leaning into our discomfort and allowing it to be fully felt, we can begin to release the hold that these emotions have over us. This process of radical acceptance can be challenging, but it is also incredibly liberating. As we practice staying present with whatever arises, we may notice a greater sense of ease and spaciousness in our lives. We become less reactive and more responsive to the ups and downs of life, finding a sense of peace and resilience in the face of adversity. This practice can be a powerful tool for cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence, allowing us to navigate life with grace and presence.
