    About this ebook

    To me personally, acceptance began as a necessity rather than a spiritual pursuit. Amid life's trials, I explored various avenues to alleviate emotional pain – from meditation and mindfulness to seeking solace in nature and prayer. Yet, amidst these practices, I stumbled upon something more profound: acceptance. I soon realized that only through acceptance could I truly transform my life and surroundings. Over two years, I meticulously documented my journey and insights, culminating in the creation of this book.

    In crafting this book, I sought to distill my experiences into a concise yet rich narrative, detailing every step of my acceptance practice. At its core, acceptance is beautifully simple: it's about embracing the present moment with a calm heart that surrenders to what is. But simplicity does not equate to ease; it requires sustained and guided practice to yield true growth. Through my journey, I discovered that acceptance, when embraced wholeheartedly, has the power to gradually open our hearts like gentle flowers, allowing us to perceive the world in its pure, pristine quality. This profound revelation inspired me to rename this work from "The Path to Acceptance" to "The Pure Heart of Acceptance," reflecting the desire to live from a place of love, joy, and spiritual fulfillment.

    I hope this book serves as a guiding light on your own path towards acceptance, empowering you to embrace its transformative power and experience its profound impact on your life. Namaste.

      The Pure Heart of Acceptance - Adrian Tanase

      Preface

      To me personally, acceptance began more as a necessity rather than a spiritual pursuit. Facing life's challenging circumstances, I tried many things that would aleviate my emotional hurt: meditation, mindfulness, living in the present moment, reading sacred texts, walking in nature and praying. While all these work wonders for everybody, I realized one day that there's a more potent thing that in its simplicity could change my mindset and my life altogether. And this thing is acceptance. I further on realized that only through acceptance could I transform my life and surroundings. Over two years, I documented my journey and insights, which have now become this book you're reading.

      I made this book concise but rich in information, detailing every step of my acceptance practice. At its core, acceptance is simple: you accept the present moment with a simple and calm heart that surrenders to what is. As simple as it may seem, only a sustained and guided practice can ensure any gain out of your practice. And as a surprising outcome, I discovered that while practiced truly, acceptance can open gradually the heart like a gentle flower, allowing us to perceive the world in its pure, pristine quality. This revelation inspired me to change the title from The Path to Acceptance to The Pure Heart of Acceptance, because what can be more desired by anyone on this planet than living our lives out of our beautiful hearts, embracing love and joy, and practicing on our spiritual paths.

      I hope this book encourages you to embrace acceptance and experience its profound impact on your life. Namaste.

      Chapter 1

      Acceptance in spiritual terms

      We will begin by saying that acceptance, in spiritual terms, has basically nothing to do with the mundane term of acceptance. The usual term is seen as a hard to accomplish and sometimes even as an impossible thing to do, given the difficult circumstances of our lives. It is hard to accept or forgive a person that did you wrong, so many times, it is hard to accept a situation in which you've been hurt so badly, it is generally hard to be or even exist in non-acceptance of the so many things happening externally around you. In spiritual terms, acceptance is merely a tool to help us go through all our difficult situations that are present in our lives. It is a practice in itself that lets us see the truth of what we are and what we are doing, that makes us realize our situation clearly, our intentions and our purpose with much clarity and awareness. It is only after we realize that we can apply acceptance in our lives that we can start to see, clearly, how we have become and what our present moment holds.

      The result of applying acceptance in our lives is translated basically by having clear awareness, or as some might say mindfulness-awareness. We start to see life as it is, clearly, as we become aware of our present situation, we are starting to pay attention to what is around us, we're here and now and our feelings, including our thoughts and emotions, are starting to show themselves to us, in a gradual fashion. All these thoughts and emotions that are revealed to us through the practice of acceptance basically exist because of countless causes and effects through which we arrived now, in the present moment. In other words, whatever we experience as our present moment is our own karma, our own deeds that brought us here. Realizing this, will make us suddenly become more mindful and see the virtue of acceptance for what it really is, no more than a spiritual tool that helps us to be more aware or pay attention in the present moment.

      The practice of accepting the present moment never ends. We can practice it for our whole life, as our practice of choice. It will bring us many benefits as it will clean our perception in each and every situation, it will help us be aware of our life more and more, it will make us understand with more ease the situations around us and it will also change the way we act toward our world, bringing more kindness, joy, compassion while at the same time fostering tolerance and forgiveness towards all the others.

      Overcoming your current situation, can be easily done by first accepting your present situation, as it is. This is the first step toward your own liberation, toward your own freedom. Non-acceptance of the current situation is definitely the opposite and it can be translated into the resistance toward the very present moment. By accepting with wisdom the situation that we're presently into, mindfulness will start to arise effortlessly. Equanimity, or the calmness of the mind, the relaxed attention through which you perceive the world, makes way to mindfulness to occur spontaneously in your own mind. It is only after you have began and sustained for weeks and even months your practicing of acceptance (of the present moment) that your life will start to clear up of unwanted situations. You may now rest in the present moment and you are now fully aware of your present situation, which is different in each and every day, but also holding the main route of your own life. This is the best way in which you can start to change your current situation, by practicing acceptance, by first realizing how you are
