How Do You Feel About The Idea of Surrender?
I’ve known many people in my life that have revolted against the word surrender. Every time I am profoundly perplexed because I experience so much comfort in the practice of surrender.
When I ask those people why they are opposed to that word, it usually has something to do with an image of defeat. It says a lot about our culture.
For me surrender is incredibly powerful for two reasons.
First, it means that you are courageous enough to realize that you are willing to change and release old ideas, thoughts and outcomes despite your fear.
And second, it means that you have such a deep trust in a creator/god/goddess/higher power that you know it is safe to let go, and trust that you will be guided without having to hold on so tightly.
When you look around at the natural world you see the power of surrender play out every day. The buds surrender to the light of the sun and open. The seeds surrender to the moist darkness of the soil and break open. Fledglings surrender to the sky and learn to strengthen their wings and fly.
With each breath we exhale we have the opportunity to surrender more deeply into the moment… into our bodies. Try it. Breathe deeply and surrender into your body. It is a delicious experience.
Surrender has a way of opening us up to possibilities and opportunities we didn’t even know existed. Love you.
If You Want To Grow, You Must Let Go!
So often we cling to relationships or situations that don’t serve us. We do this because on some level we know what we are dealing with; it is familiar. Unfortunately, when we cling to something that is not working, then we are part of the problem.
In order to let in new life and new experiences, we have to let go of something. A relationship. An opinion. A home. An object. The safety of what we have always known.
This can be really scary, and this is where faith comes in handy. Do you trust in a source of all life? A divine creator? A loving entity who is looking our for your highest and best interest? It doesn’t matter what you call it, only that you have a belief in something greater.
The world is built upon reciprocity. We let go of one thing; we receive another. The leaves drop in autumn, winter comes, and new growth sprouts. The delicious fruit is consumed, only to leave a seed which will then grow a new plant. The perfect egg shell cracks open to reveal a tiny bird, who then grows up into an adult with strong wings and flies away.
If you want to grow, you must let go of something.

Wild Thing, Are You Stuck In Self Pity?
Are you stuck in self pity? Do you feel like your life would be different if they did “x”, or didn’t do “y”, or “z” never happened to you?
Life is tough. Sh*t happens. But if you are stuck in a place of self pity then you are wasting precious energy focusing on the past.
What would it take for you to let go of that thinking? Is the suffering worth the story you are holding onto? Are you wanting a life free of self-pity? Are you longing to write a new life story?
One reason we stay in self-pity is that we don’t know of another way. We never learned the skills required to process our experiences, let go of the past, and shift our thinking.

We’ll explore where you are, where you want to go, and how we can get you there. You are worthy!
