Hey soul-friends,

Welcome to another episode of Minutes on Growth. I’m your host Tannaz Hosseinpour and today I want to talk about personal resistance. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about intentions – how we set them, why we set them and how we can actually release them into the universe so that they can come to fruition. I’ve noticed that there is a lot of hesitation when setting intentions during hard times, especially intentions related to material wealth. When life is flowing and going exactly as we’d like it to, there is less resistance to asking and manifesting. Somehow, the words flow out easier and we have more trust in the process. But when life feels difficult, for example during a pandemic, or a financial crisis, we think twice before setting them.

In Kabbalah, they introduce us early on to a word that I believe holds immense power: certainty. They argue that we need to live and breathe life with certainty. We need to believe at all times, that everything is from the divine source, from light, from god, from the universe.

Certainty I believe is the element we need to add to the equation when resistance is involved. Realizing that the fear that holds us back from setting and releasing an intention is just the inner neighbour, the inner critic within our mind that wants us to have doubt. The inner critic that thrives on drama. The inner critic that takes us away from our truth. The inner critic that preoccupies our mind with so much clutter, that we no longer see certainty. we no longer feel connected to the universe.

In those moments of resistance, let us shift our focus and awareness onto certainty. Let us know that the universe always has our back. Let us know that the universe will always support us. Let us walk with full trust and certainty – knowing that what we have released will come to fruition. Today, let us set intentions without focusing on the how — let us surrender to the unknown with certainty.

Thank you for listening, speak soon.
