Surrender...

"Man has nothing else to do but to surrender in deep trust, in deep love. Don't be a doer, just surrender. Let there be a let go"

~Letting go is a word that is often used in reference to moving on from someone or something. As human beings we all experience resistance to change and always want or desire something different of what is being offered to us at the present moment by life. So many emotions come to play when we are at the fork on the road to transformation. Surrender does not mean giving up, it means to yield, accept and trust that things are in flux that the intersection is exactly what is needed to enable to you to continue to move forward instead of staying stuck, and welcome unnecessary suffering. We are all offered many opportunities of surrender and often ignore and resist until we find ourselves on our knees by carrying the heavy load. Being clear and accepting reality is sometimes harsh, but it is our only way of committing to the next step. My favorite spiritual coach that I admire dearly Iyanla Vanzant, states that the triple A's will allow you to move through things. Acceptance, Acknowledgement, and Awareness. When we accept the change, we Acknowledge that things will never be the same, we become Aware that life has its ebbs and flows and that holding on to ideas or stories that hinder our lives. The true art of letting go is about commitment! Whether the choice is perceived to be good or bad, committing to it is where you learn to trust yourself. In the practice of yoga, when we commit to a pose as hard or unaligned as it might be at the moment, we commit to it with breath and ease, the more we practice, the more the body will naturally go back to its normal state, but if we are continually telling ourselves you can't do it, this pose is not for you, you aren't flexible enough etc..how will you ever learn to go through the process? You have to trust and let go!!! Breathe and let it be...We don't have to continue to do to feel worthy of our choices, letting go is not the lazy way out, it is way we become accountable and begin a new way of giving and receiving. We restore balance within ourselves! Listening when it is time to let go vs creating chaos in our lives....
