Jafree Ozwald – The word surrender is often greatly misunderstood. It is not about “giving up,” failing at life or losing anything.
Surrender is one of the most beautiful experiences life offers, and it is much more enlightening than you can imagine. Surrender frees you from any suffering you are experiencing…instantly!
Surrender is the gentle release of your ego’s constant effort to get someone “better” than here now. It is bowing down to the Divine essence with yourself in this now moment. It is what liberates you from your ego and allows you to instantly manifest the radically joyful life that you deserve and desire.
The person who can fully surrender to this moment creates such a profound clarity inside that they can instantly see and feel that they are living in paradise on Earth.
“Once we surrender our mind to God completely, He will take care of us in every way.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
When you consciously surrender to the Divine within you, you are in essence allowing the Universe to guide you and support every decision you make. If you persist in thinking that you are alone and must strive harder to manifest what you want, you are fighting the Universe and swimming upstream. To be in control of your reality you must first surrender to it. Through surrender you will release all energetic ego roadblocks which were hindering your manifesting abilities. If you cannot surrender it is because the ego is afraid to evolve. It’s as if you are pretending to be a spiritual warrior by covering yourself in armor.
If you remain covered in armor you will block everything (good and bad) that is coming your way. When you surrender to the Universe you consciously take off your armor and drop your shield of defense, giving yourself permission to trust in the Universe. Only in this space are you able to experience the profound state of peace that brings enlightenment. You will find that through relinquishing any controlling energy, protectiveness or defensiveness, the Universe will take your hand and guide you effortlessly towards the life you have desperately been seeking.
“The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.” ~Julia Cameron
Surrendering to the Divine Being you truly are means that you are letting go of any need to dominate, control or manipulate this Universe. How can we possibly believe that we can control something as large and complex as this multi-dimensional Universe? Why would anyone want that much responsibility?
We are yet a single wave in this massive ocean of conscious intelligent energy and its not in our power to be in control of such a great thing. It’s much easier and more FUN to find love, peace and real success through surrendering to it instead of dominating it.
It is impossible to control anybody in this world (let alone your own mind) so the most enlightened thing to do is hold sacred the intention to surrender completely to that Divine Essence which is which is always at the core of who you are.
There’s no need to remain in illusionary control of everything when you can truly manifest more abundance and bliss by surrendering to the infinite ocean within. Make the commitment today to stop thinking that you have to be in control of anything, and consciously step back, relax and allow the Universe to provide what you want on a silver platter.
“The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender.” ~ William Booth
The best news of all is that practicing surrender is the most enjoyable experience we can do! The magic happens the very instant you relax and let go of everything. This taste of instant freedom is ohhh sooooo good! The pure joy of letting go of needing to be right, be in control, be happy, be successful, have the perfect relationship or whatever you want to shift in your life is a huge relief. It feels like submerging your feet in a hot bubble bath after a long hard day out in the city.
Surrender is the cure for anxiety, depression and many illnesses that we think are “incurable”. An enormous release of tension occurs the instant you stop pretending to be the general manager of the Universe, and this opens your mind to see and feel the bigger manifestation plan which you previously could not see.
It’s wonderful to realize that you don’t have to do anything to surrender. It’s a natural experience that takes over you when you truly stop trying and just let go.
There is such a sweet healing feeling that instantly enters you as, the Universe starts to fill you up with whatever you were seeking. Those feelings of emptiness caused by the constant striving, pushing and efforting to attain, suddenly become forgotten and filled with a divine goodness.
The deeper the letting go, the more abundance, inner peace and natural joy will come rushing in. It’s a matter of how much do you trust in yourself and your connection with this all-intelligent divine Universe. Once you trust it 100% you understand that is knows how to meet your needs and manifest your desires faster, easier and more joyfully than you can.
