Summary: When your mind is given permission to be receptive to the total spectrum of experience and to relax within that process and to not try and push unpleasant things away one of the things that relaxes is the resistance to conflict. I m sure you ve heard the old aphorism: That which you resist, persists? Well, it s true in meditation, too. If you resist conflict, it tends to just push back and kick its heels in deeper. But if you are receptive and allowing of it, the conflict tends to shift and move, change and flow; it comes and goes more fluidly.
