How Tenderness Dissolves Inner Contractions and Suppressed Energies | Amoda Maa

In this talk (a clip from the "Illumination" Online Weekend Retreat, May 2024) Amoda explores the concept of welcoming everything as a pathway to finding God. This approach involves embracing all aspects of our inner and outer experiences with tenderness and openness. By welcoming everything, we address the resistances that arise in our minds and hearts. This practice isn't just about accepting external circumstances, especially those that might be painful or harmful, but rather about meeting our internal responses—our thoughts, feelings, and sensations—with a deep sense of compassion.

The process of welcoming everything with tenderness leads to a purification of our inner world. This purification transforms the "darkness" within us—unmet, suppressed, or unexplored energies—into light. By consistently applying this practice, we allow the light of awareness and presence to dissolve our inner contractions and fears, bringing us closer to our true nature and the divine essence within.
