Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

Product Information

Letting go is counterintuitive in many ways. We are encouraged and taught from a young age to succeed, to push through, to have goals and let nothing get in the way. Half the battle is fighting your own deeply ingrained notions of how success works.

To be surrendered means to have no strong emotion about a thing: “It’s okay if it happens, and it’s okay if it doesn’t.” When we are free, there is a letting go of attachments. We can enjoy a thing, but we don’t need it for our happiness. In the state of acceptance, there is the feeling that nothing needs to be changed. Everything is perfect and beautiful the way it is. The world is to be enjoyed. In acceptance, there is a decreased preoccupation with “doingness,” a growing focus on the quality of beingness itself, and the perfection of our own inner capacity for caring and lovingness.Don’t judge the feeling or try to resist it in any way. If it is not resisted it will disappear and the energy of it will burn out. If you are not into spirituality then maybe you might not get as much from this book. The book mentions God. This is the belief of someone who could join the next People’s Temple sect, not a scientist. 4. Right-Brained Nonsense If you want to have great relationships, you need to FEEL and be grateful for the relationships you have now. If you want to be healthy, you need to FEEL like the person you want to be first.

One of the most powerful benefits of conscious surrender is a state of inner freedom. Our happiness doesn’t depend on what someone says or does, or on the outcome of a situation. Our joy is not tied to what we do or what we own. We discover “something that remains constant and the same, no matter what goes on in the external world or with the body, emotions, or mind.” I have never given the thought of being a spiritual person. Neither have I contemplated the notion of spirituality until I have come across Maya Angelou’s definition of it: a surrender. Once you let go, you become bolder. We’re not smart enough, funny enough, good looking enough, rich enough. We are desperately trying to make up for this – look at the amount of money people spend trying to look better. From a young age we need to tell people we are worthy enough, we can belong.” As the process unfolds, we feel an inner transformation. This leads to a consistent feeling of gratitude, pleasure, and certainty about our goals. There is a living in the present rather than a preoccupation with the past or the future. There is an inner feeling of strength and invulnerability leading to an inner serenity.Your emotions can be measured. Whatever level of consciousness or emotion you are currently in and vibrating effects everyone and everything around you wherever you go!
