The Medicine Inside Opposition
When another person’s will presses against yours, it’s an activation — not a defeat.
The most valuable thing we can experience is the quality of having our will thwarted, or having our pursuits squashed in some way.
I know - I know - this feels challenging to consider.
But when we have an experience where we feel oppressed by someone else’s will, it is the ensuing feelings that serve to challenge us, to consider how we may be assuming that our will isn’t strong enough to withstand it.
Often we are assuming someone else’s desire being stronger than ours means our desires have no chance of surviving; that someone else’s will is capable of totally wiping out our own desires and pursuits.
But in actuality we have been given an experienced that teaches us we must develop a stronger loyalty to what matters to us. Then when someone tries to overpower that very real need, we have the medicine built in: a self reserve of inner voracity to stand strong.
We have to up our audacity factor. And in many cases, it only feels audacious to be that willful or stubborn in pursuing our desires and needs - it isn’t actually audacious. It’s just that in comparison to the way we’ve been leveraging our energy up to now, it feels over the top. Perhaps a bit reckless.
And so we will feel uncomfortable when we begin to do this. That’s just the way when we do things differently. But this is discomfort in a much different way than what we felt when we were allowing someone to overpower our right, to stay loyal to what is meaningful, to us.
Use you discernment here, in taking this message in. This is not an invitation to apply this transmission to all scenarios in life. This is an activation of personal responsibility, to invest in amplifying inner loyalty to your own needs.
And, developing greater understanding of how you’ve been bowing down to energy fields that are made to stimulate you to become stronger and more resilient.



This feels so true. Opposition is not always a wall, sometimes it is a mirror. It shows us where our voice is still soft and where we need to stand a little taller. I love how you framed discomfort as a kind of quiet medicine. It’s gentle but firm, pushing us back into our own center. Thank you Andrea for this reminder to stay loyal to what matters inside us.
