SEEDS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH- #2 The Sweet Side of Surrender
Hello and greetings from what is beginning to feel like a foreign landscape here in snowbound MA. We are surrounded by 6-8 foot piles of snow. Its quite difficult to get around the past few weeks and folks are starting to express the fatigue of experiencing storm after storm rolling in with very little relief. Even the dog seems depressed as she can't sniff her neighborhood as usual or get her daily long walks in.
So what spiritual truth can we glean from challenging circumstances we may be facing be it environmental or our own internal atmosphere ? Know when its time to dial it down and surrender to a Being that is Supreme to you. Often our egoic mind views surrender as some negative , passive form of giving up. In truth, surrender is a profound conscious act of realizing there are limits to what your mind can manage. There are limits to what our emotions can process. The Spirit has no limits with its infinite creative solutions available for our challenges, if we only get still long enough to experience that loving presence. This Being that is supreme to your ego is also benevolent and is longing to be embodied by all of us. Life without connection to our Spiritual Higher Self is quite frankly a pale shadow of your souls magnificence!
The sweet side of surrender is knowing that you are not alone, that you are always supported from Source, that all is happening for our highest good at all times. Surrender is a conscious practice of recognizing that truth and practice letting go into it, trusting that you will be guided on whats most important to focus your energy and effort on.
We do not have to wait until we are completely exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally, until we literally collapse to our knees and cry out and beg for help, albeit this scenario is one I am familiar with. We do have the choice to choose sweet surrender in any moment we feel compressed , confused or energetically drained. In surrendering to your Higher Self , your Spirit , you ask that Spirit take the wheel . We open to the loving expression of Grace . Grace happens when we get our egoic minds out of the way. Grace happens when we truly let go into the wisdom of who you really are, the light and love of the universe no less!
So my invitation for you this week is practice sweet surrender. Allow a still space daily for your Spirit to be felt and embodied. Trust this Source energy as Supreme to your egos limitation and benevolent in its intentions.
What can you consciously loosen your grip around this week and allow the healing energy of Grace to come in? Sweet Surrender! Its obviously not a 4 letter word to abhor. Its a path to peace!
