Whenever I find myself resisting what is and yearning for life's circumstances to be different from what they are I use it as an opportunity to practice surrendering to the present moment. When I realize that my own mental judgments are creating the experience of suffering I can choose to liberate myself and release the pain by reconnecting with my own beingness.
Resisting creates a sense of separation from the world, the psychological mind and physical body can become hard and rigid when people or situations are perceived as threatening. Accepting "what is" through the practice of surrender does not mean resignation to an undesirable or unpleasant life situation. Rather than reacting out of fear, anger or despair into negative action, by surrendering to the present we can choose positive actions to shift out of an undesirable circumstance.
Author Eckhart Tolle said, Surrender reconnects you with the source energy of being and if your doing is infused with Being, it becomes a joyful celebration of life energy that takes you more deeply into the Now. Thus it is through letting go of resistance, through becoming vulnerable that we are able to discover our true and essential invulnerability. We are all perfect, whole and complete beings and surrender is one way to transmute suffering into enlightened consciousness.
Affirm: I consciously choose to practice surrendering to the present moment to allow my divine consciousness and my life energy to flow.
