Join 📚 Nicole's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Nicole's read, .
I have found that it is only when I stop resisting entirely—stop judging, stop trying to control, stop tensing against, stop avoiding—only then do I arrive in an open, tender, and healing presence. In that open tenderness, there’s nowhere for the painful shadow energies to root. With true surrender of all strategies of self-protection, the demons lose their power. When the resistance is gone, so are the demons.

Allowing is an opening energy that reveals more of who we truly are; resistance is a closing energy that shuts this knowledge down. The choice to open rather than close is the solution we’re seeking, no matter how exposing it seems.
