Reality acceptance
Face painful reality without fighting against it - as a foundation for inner peace with unchangeable circumstances.
When does this fit?
When something painful has to be fully accepted because resistance makes the state worse.
Priority in the path
This node becomes especially important when shame describes the actual situation.
Pausing, accepting and moving forward
Reality acceptance describes the general orientation towards acknowledging what is. Turning the mind makes this concrete as the repeated inner decision to return to acceptance.
