'Surrender' made easy...

All spiritual practices speak about the concept of 'surrender' - to 'let go'... in French 'lacher prise'... This is the stage that calls for complete faith and trust that all is as it should be. While not one to sit around and twiddle my thumbs, I'm definitely a person who believes in taking action and giving everything my best shot, but have, thankfully, understood that after action comes 'inaction' -- the quiet moment when we let go of our attachment to the result of our effort and release the manifestation of the result to a higher intelligence which in it's wisdom brings to us what is optimal for us to have -- for often in our asking we are not always wise. There's a saying 'Be careful what you pray for, because you might just get it.' The idea here being that we don't always know what's good for us.

Our next concern then is how do we surrender, and to whom? The easiest method for this I have found in the material from Esther Hicks and Abraham. Like a mantra I repeat to myself 'I Am Loved. All is Well'. I have found this to help me through all kinds of situations and moments when I have had a problem connecting with the deeper, authentic, higher-self part of me. "I Am Loved. All is Well." How beautiful, and full of faith and trust these words are. When I think of them, I immediately have such a sense of peace and calm within. And let me share a secret with you, dear reader -- when in this state I manifest miracles for myself :-)!
