Say 'Yes'
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
'No' is the voice of your ego.
If you notice, almost all the time, you like to say 'no' – to anyone, to anything. When you say 'no', it gives a solid feeling to your personality, your ego. Saying 'no' makes you feel you are somebody. Saying 'yes' makes you feel like a nobody. The moment you 'yes' to anything, you feel you have become vulnerable to the whole world.
'No' is not just a word you are saying, it is the whole attitude you are carrying inside. It is your defence against whatever is happening in the moment.
With just a powerful intention, you can move from 'No' to 'Yes'.
Just an intention is enough.
When you continuously say Yes, you will see that your whole inner space is transformed.
The expression can lead to the experience.
Step 1:
Sit down with yourself for a few minutes and watch your inner space. Feel how you are carrying a tightness inside, a solidity.
Now try to exactly reverse this.
Decide for the next twenty-four hours, you will start with saying 'yes' in every situation. Have this powerful intention that you are going to transform your being.
Step 2:
Observe yourself over the next twenty-four hours.
Watch how the 'No' just jumps up at the slightest disturbance.
Even in your physical movements, this 'No', this rigidness is there.
You carry your body like a defence against the world.
Now, when you are sitting, standing, walking, let your body and limbs be loose. Let your eyes be soft, your movements flowing. Let your being feel soft and vulnerable.
Just be like a flower in the breeze!
Not only your body, watch the movements of your mind also.
In any situation, your mind will feel like saying 'no.'
Now watch the 'no' begin to rise, and drop it.
Consciously say 'yes.'
Again and again, say 'yes'.
Don't try to resist the present moment, don't resist anything.
Don't just accept, welcome the present moment with gratitude.
Carry a deep 'yes' in you.
In just twenty-four hours, you will taste the peace of acceptance. Such a deep relaxation will happen in you. After that, you start living effortlessly in the space of acceptance.
