Most of us would be skeptical upon hearing that we could experience joy through sitting with resistance. After trying this practice many years ago, during a particular difficult period of my life, I realized this was a profound meditation indeed. When I practiced earnestly, I found that a sense of deep peace and serenity began to surface during these meditation periods. As I allowed myself to go fully into these practices of non-resistance, a fleeting almost fragile sense of joy began to arise.
