Why Being Present Feels So Hard | The Hidden Resistance Creating Suffering

In this video, Susanne explores how resistance to the present moment shapes our experience and fuels unnecessary suffering through the subtle sense that something is wrong. Seen through the lens of spiritual awakening, this habit begins to soften as we recognize what can truly be changed and what must be met as it is. As resistance falls away, a deeper connection to reality opens, along with a natural clarity, creativity, and care in responding to life. *New Course Starting April 5th: Being With What Is: https://susannemarie.org/events/ Join Susanne's next monthly online meeting: https://susannemarie.org/events/ Sign up for Susanne's email community news: http://eepurl.com/b2_vTL Inquire about a mentoring session: https://susannemarie.org/connect/ ******* ~ Your support will enable me to continue to offer these talks freely.
