Surrender – The Gateway to Yourself
Surrender to your True Self. Surrender to the Higher Consciousness, which is you. Surrender to that which is bigger than your human form and which you are part of. Surrender to the present moment. Problems arise when you think you are separate from the Higher Consciousness and that you need to survive on your own. You cannot fight the ocean that you are part of.
Surrender is the ability to trust the process of life and meet life as it is. It’s putting yourself in the hands of your Higher Self and the Higher Consciousness that is running through you and taking care of you. It’s knowing that whatever is happening in your life, good and bad, is for your highest good. It’s thanking the Universe even when things don’t go our way or according to our wishes.
The Soul chooses the life it will have, the person it will be, and the people it will meet, to learn the lessons it needs to evolve and grow. The people we meet in our lives also have a Soul Contract with us that fulfils this learning. So, when the ups and downs of our life are pre-determined by our Higher Self before we incarnate into a human form, then how can they be bad for us? Everything is actually an opportunity for our Soul to learn and grow from.
To surrender means to live with a trust that you are taken care of, no matter what! It’s feeling safe in trusting the unknown, which you can’t see with your naked eyes but can feel with your intuition. It’s about resting in your inner self and letting it guide you on the way forward.
Surrender the need to control the outcome. Letting go of your desire to control the outcome does not mean that you don’t care what happens. It means you no longer impose your will on the results. We have been conditioned to control every aspect of our lives, and when we are unable to do that, it brings us endless stress and misery.
We become discontented and unhappy within and are not quite sure why. We cannot control what happens to us in our lives, but we have full control over our effort and our response towards it. See the learning that life is showing you, heal the beliefs that do not serve you and move on to become the person that you were meant to be. Do not increase your bad karma by perpetuating the cycle of action and reaction, bitterness and hatred.
Surrender to the moment and live here and now, in it fully and completely. Give all of yourself to your present. Free yourself of the baggage you are carrying from your past and the anticipation of your future. Your future is being shaped by who you are right now. When you learn to surrender, you spontaneously start living in the present moment. You experience oneness, joy, trust, peace and grace.
Surrender begins where the ego ends. The ego is part of your mind, which believes that you have a separate identity.
The mind is based on duality, time, me, the other and the world. Your real nature in the centre of your heart is based on oneness with all that IS. Surrender isn’t something that our minds can accomplish, but it is something that we can invite into our lives with awareness.
When you truly surrender, you come into alignment with life. You are not fighting life, nor is life fighting you. Just like a wave, which is a manifestation of the ocean, you can rest in the knowing that you are part of the Higher Consciousness. You can relax and trust – and know that it’s safe to let go.
