Surrender is not about being idle. Surrender is seeing beyond the illusion of control. Surrender is the willingness to follow the path of least resistance - to see the openings and walk through them - to center, ground and follow your guidance. Surrender is the way of the peaceful warrior. Surrender what you think you want and what you think you need, and open to the easeful path along which the greatest learning and joy can be had. Surrender requires acceptance, flexibility and connection. Surrender requires listening with your being, opening with your being, and the willingness to take action in ways that may not make logical sense, but that you know in your core are right. Becoming present in your body and in your space and in the world, feeling your feet on the ground, feeling the breath in your lungs, connecting with the present moment, and allowing the vibrancy of your surroundings to penetrate your exterior allows you the strength and knowing to surrender. It stops the fear cycle. It connects you with your strength, with your essence and with God. Stepping into a place of true connection with your body on the Earth, and feeling the energy of God in all that is, including yourself, allows you to step into the surrender. Stepping into the surrender is not a passive or idle thing. It comes from a place of great strength and stability.



Let go. Let go of needing to know. Let go of letting others' opinions affect you. Learning is not with the brain but with the heart and the combined. Loneliness is an illusion. The world is full and vibrant. All you have to do is open up to see that. Lessons are learned. Lessons are essential. You sometimes see lessons as painful and they make you angry. But that anger does not serve you. Open to what the lesson has to teach. As you grow and learn, the lessons change. As you resist, the lessons stay the same. Embrace what you are given. Embrace the learning you have the opportunity to get. Learning can help you evolve and grow - grow in ways that you cannot comprehend with your brain. You cannot work them out with your brain. Your connection to Source, your heart, your body and your brain must all become integrated. As you learn lessons, the more integrated you become. As you dive deep within yourself, that Essence - that seed of God, begins to emerge and show. That is where the lessons lead you. Resisting them keeps you at the surface. Embrace the lessons. Dive deep within yourself, for there all the beauty lies. The beauty of the essence of who you are is deep within your heart, deep within your body, deep within your brain. Finding that essence and letting it shine out to reconnect with the Divine and all that is will serve you best.Loe can lead you there. Resistance causes you pain. Embracing the opportunity to learn creates the path to your heart.No longer should you sit in the victim seat. No longer should you not acknowledge the strength and power that you are. Lessons are the shovel to help you dig to uncover the Pearl.

We all have more power than we know. That power is stifled by our fear of being too great. Being too great carries great responsibility. Our fear of inadequacy holds us contracted and in. Greatness is an expansion and breathing out, a reaching out, a growth and exposure of the essence of who you are. Greatness requires vulnerability and feeling exposed, but knowing that that essence within you is powerful and large and will not be penetrated. Life is about finding that greatness within and exposing it - gathering the resources from the Earth and the Heavens, from your friends and your family, from that seed of God within you. Standing tall, radiating that light and influencing the world. Fear of rejection often holds us back. Fear of inadequacy is the cloak we lay over our greatness, covering it and making it feel invisible, but it is truly the opposite. You are not inadequate. You are strong and influential, and the greatness you embody is far more than you can comprehend in your mind. There are levels of evolving and knowing that we cannot comprehend in our human form. The Universe is vast and the workings of the creator are too complex, are too wide for us to know with our brains. Our hearts are our translators. We cannot comprehend the Universe, but we can act based on what we know in ways that we cannot comprehend. Our hearts can guide us through that knowing. Our hearts can serve as the translator. Our souls, our Beings evolve and grow in ways that we cannot comprehend, but through our hearts we can change our actions. We can know which direction to take, which things to do, which people to associate with, which people to love. There is a knowing that transcends understanding. There is a greatness that exists within each of us. There is more power than we can comprehend. We limit it as we seek to understand it. We cannot understand what to think. We cannot think to understand. But we can know in our hearts what is true. Trusting your heart without knowing in your brain takes faith and courage. Living with the unknown is scary but powerful and strong. Learning to listen to what your heart is telling you can transform your life – can create an entirely different human experience and connect you even more deeply to the Divine and to the Earth and to all of Humanity. Evolution is an upward movement. Changing your thought is important, but the evolution is often beyond thoughts or understanding – beyond comprehending. The path to evolving is learning what to do, listening to the Divine and connecting with the Earth. Open to let God in and trust what you are being guided to do.

The Earth is a living entity. The Earth has much wisdom and strength. Open to its wisdom. Open to its guidance. The Earth is strong and dense and beautiful and full of rich experience. Increase that richness by connecting with the Earth. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Breathe into your body and into the Earth. Breathe with the rhythm of the Earth and the Universe. Feel the connection to both. It is all one. Feel your connection to the One - to the Earth and your physical form and to the light of the Universe. Breathe with that pulse and be joyful for your physical form. Be grateful for the richness of experience and be grateful for the strength and beauty of the Earth. The Earth has a window of time in which to rebalance and that time may be tumultuous but you can ride the wave. Look to the Earth for guidance and wisdom. Listen when she calls, and take the action you are guided to take. The Earth will save her creatures, especially the ones who can listen. Do not be afraid or feel urgency. Learn to listen. Learn to breathe as the One.

Receiving is a blessing.  Giving is a blessing too.  Being open to receiving does not make you lazy or unworthy or a leech.  Being open to receiving allows the spreading of joy and love.  Receiving is not greedy.  Receiving is the process of being open.  Doing is the process of creating.  Receiving is the process of reaping those fruits.  Be open to receive, but not stagnant in your life.  Stagnation is another way of being blocked.  Be open and vulnerable and not closed to receiving.  Receiving doesn't make you incapable or lecherous.  Those who give must also receive.  Giving opens the door for receiving, but only if you let it.  You are not alone in this process.

In this meditation I was struggling with accepting what I feel called to do in my life and asking the Universe for support and guidance.


The Earth is wise and we are wiser.  Let not your fears of isolation and rejection stop you. Learn to speak our words.  Learn to surrender completely.  That is the path to true strength.  We are with you always.  You will not falter.  Love shines through you as a beacon.  Open yourself.  Fear not.  The path to forgiveness can be long, the path to greatness even longer.  Let not your fear of both hold you back.  You are but one among many.  Yours is not the only job to do.  Sleep when you need sleep.  The world awaits what you have to say, but to say it you must learn to listen.  You may say it in your own words, but don't dilute the message.  You were born to spread this message.  You were born to learn to love.  You were born to be strong and soft.  You were born to help your sister do the same.  Fear not the consequences.  They are mostly good.  Let your mind and your heart connect.  It is safe to be in your body.  You will not be killed or ostracized. Plan your classes.  Open your heart.  Feel the love and give it out.  We will guide you and protect you but you must learn to listen.  You must let your fear of loss of control go.  We are stepping in to help, but your path as a human is vital.  Let not the voices of others influence and scare you.  Speak from your heart and know that what I say is true.  Open, receive and give.  This is not a passive process.  It is a very active process. An active process of being still and yet moving, being open, receiving and giving.  Do not get caught in fear.  Trust us to help you.  Grow in your human form.  Being human is a gift. You must learn to embrace and love that gift if you are to teach others the same.  We are here to help, but fully human you must be.  Your human self has fear and that fear is contracting and closing you off.  Let the fear drain out.  Let the light shine in.  Learn to let your heart sing, learn to feel the beauty in the world, learn to love yourself as you love your son.  Listen not to the fear and love with all your heart.  It will not break.

Divine order has no mistakes.  Life on Earth is a growing process for which there are no mistakes.  Let your heart be filled with joy. Life is a growing ecosystem.  You cannot feel love without pain.  Allow the pain and the love flows freely.   Hold the pain and the love stops.  Earth is a place of growth, spiritual discovery and human experience.  Be one with yourself.  The dichotomy of being one with all and being separate is not right.  It is all the same substance in which you get to play as an individual entity.  Sometimes when you play, you cry. Listen and see beyond your human ways of seeing.  Human evolution is coming.  Your DNA is changing.  Your connection is deepening.  Let your minds allow it.  Such is the way of the transformation.
