Allowance vs. Acceptance
A new viewpoint!
Allowance and acceptance may seem similar in their meanings, yet are quite different vibrationally. I became more aware of this while attending one of my regular Access Conscious classes with an absolutely phenomenal facilitator - Shree Dembla, who addressed this question a couple of times in the numerous classes I have taken from her. Here is what I understood.
Accepting anything, is more aligned to making the acceptance of that thing a core definition of the experience, and in turn, truly imbibing it into your being so much so that you are not able to see, know, perceive or even receive beyond that said definition. This causes a havoc especially when we practice it with any sort of projection, separations, and or judgements thrown at us.
With some new epiphanies I have had in my own personal relationships recently, wherein I was projected on, and even I have projected my own fears on to the other person, based on judgements from the past, experiences from the past etc., I ingrained all of those definitions and conclusions as an integral part of my identity whereas I had to only be in the allowance of them . Making this a part of my identity made me create walls so big and thick, that in the name of protecting myself, I hindered the flow of many beautiful experiences, people, and places.
Acceptance is reaching a conclusion which does not leave room for looking at a whole spectrum of possibilities available to us.
Allowance is simply being. It does not ask you to let go of your sense of truth, in fact, it encourages you to be in your truth fully, all the time, and letting everything else be, everyone else be. It is when we are in allowance of judgement from others that we open ourselves up to the possibility of being unperturbed by it, and receive so much more - a new insight, clarity of what or who you truly desire, liberation from being cooped up in a corner and shying away from the world, being unapologetically you! When we are in allowance of things, we breakaway from bonds, chains, barriers, and forms that do not hold true to our soul. Also, this leads YOU to be in allowance of YOU. So, you would know when you wish to be that fierce energy and be clear about what is it that aligns with you, and what does not.
Allowance is not about making yourself a doormat, it is about flowing downstream, embodying ease, embodying the knowing that you are a magnificent infinite being who is taken care of by this wondrous Universe, and witnessing life unfold miraculously!
