Surrender

The subject of 'Surrender' has come up quite frequently in the past week or more. Surrender is not about giving up. It's about giving up the notion that you have any control over the situation.

It doesn't mean you just throw your hands up and quit. But do throw your hands up to receive assistance from the Spirit world. Instead of downloading anxiety and fear of potential outcomes, upload love and light to the situation. It doesn't mean you don't intervene in emergent circumstances, by all means do what you can and then leave the rest up to the Universe.

When worry and anxiety come into play, you know that you have not surrendered. In fact, your Toxic Operating System (some people call this the ego) is taking control and surrender is the only way to quarantine the Toxic Operating System and relieve yourself of the worry and anxiety.

There are very few areas in my life where worry and anxiety come in to visit anymore. When I notice them I use the words "Allow" and "Surrender" to combat it. Next I visualize the anxiety (that I see as negative energy coming in to me), turning into love and light and sending it to the person or situation I am worried about. Each time I notice the worry or anxiety I do that same thing.

I'm also letting go of the expectations regarding the outcome. That's part of surrender. I don't have any 'wish' for how it turns out. I trust that it will be for the highest good. No matter what. I envision the worst case scenario and experience trusting that it is for the highest good (not the highest good on Earth as I'd like it to be, but the Highest Good for my Highest Self -or that of the person involved- in the long run over many lifetimes.) This enables me to let go much easier.

Surrender is about knowing there is a bigger picture and you aren't privy to it. Its about knowing that the Universe is conspiring on your behalf even when it doesn't feel like it in the thick of it. In those moments, though, take a step away and think back on all the times in your life when you felt just that same way. Even though it may have been painful and scary did what you fear actual happen? Did it work out in some way that you didn't anticipate? Did it actually open up something in your life for the better? Can you see how something had to end, or change, to get you somewhere else you needed to be?

Everything happens for your highest good, maybe not the good you envisioned here on Earth, but always for your highest good in the big picture. Surrendering is about realizing that in the moment and allowing the flow of Tao to move through your life.
