Surrender To The Feeling

[Ashlyn Robello]

Whydo you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.

Excellent article. Keep writing such kind of info on your site.

Im really impressed by your blog.

Hello there, You have done an excellent job. I will

definitely digg it and in my opinion recommend to my friends.

I ask this, because I am about to lose my home with no money to go anywhere else, as I live on $300 per month disability. Do I actively look for help then see what Jesus finds for me, or do I wait until I am homeless?

I am not an ordained priest, but I recommend being proactive. Surrendering to Jesus does not necessarily mean doing nothing (sometimes it does), but that your actions are in accordance with His will. I think that in your situation, it would be appropriate to seek out your pastor or other resources to make sure that you will be able to live with the dignity of shelter.

This prayer has helped me a lot. My dad was in hospital for a blood infection and I would say this prayer whenever i lost hope. This prayer sustained me during this difficult time. My dad is having blood tests this Tuesday and when i feel worried about it or anxious i say this prayer and it truly works. It is a powerful prayer. It is hard to surrender to the Lord but each time i say this prayer im surrendering a little bit more. Thank you for the post. God Bless!

My husband and I found this Novena through an email I received from the Leaflet Missal. I did a google search to find out more about it and stumbled upon your blog post. Needless to say, it hit at the right time, and there is no coincidence when it comes to the Holy Spirit.

We have just started the Surrender Novena, and I honestly cannot get through it every day without tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, but I also feel a sense of peace as I wait on what the Lord has planned for us. There is pain in the night, but joy does come in the morning. I hold onto hope and faith that someday soon the Lord will provide us with the family we so desperately want and need.

This is by far the easiest and most powerful novena I have ever experienced. You can ask for the right partner that is perfect for you and will love you properly to show up in your life, a job that will meet all of your needs best, the courage to go to confession and make asking for forgiveness for anything you are sorry for possible. Imagine asking for anything that will only be given to you if it will be good for you. Imagine all the things you might have chosen for yourself that never was meant to be, so did not work out.

When facing spiritual struggles, the Sacrament of Confession can be a powerful remedy. God eagerly awaits your plea for forgiveness! Whether you're returning after a long absence or frequenting weekly, delving deeper into the graces of this sacrament is always...

I created a website. I started a YouTube channel. I opened a Facebook page with regular cycle updates. I recorded a webinar. I wrote a few blog posts and I coached my first clients. My intention for this work was to approach it spring style - playfully, trying different things to see what I preferred, inner-critic at bay. And it was fun!

However come December, when I was learning more about engaging on Facebook I began to feel tired and as if I was trying to push water uphill. I wanted to see results that in hindsight were unrealistic. It was only after talking it through with my business coach and friend and a listening partner that I could feel the uncomfortable feelings and hear the call to surrender what I had so far produced.

On this day 23, I can feel my body and psyche inching towards that place of surrender for menstruation too and with that come feelings of resistance and a racing mind. What else can I do? What else can I squeeze in this week? Have I done enough? And our friend the inner-critic takes the talking stick.

Sitting in circle one time I remember hearing a woman speak of feeling disentitled to time off during menstruation and that she felt she was wasting time when taking it. It struck a chord with me as she spoke and processed. I could relate to it.

So, with that, I wish you a very happy new year for 2018 and I leave you with a talk by Tara Brach I listened to recently, which supported me as I sat with those uncomfortable feelings during surrender.

Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it. The first step is to allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, fearing it, condemning it, or moralizing about it. It means to drop judgment and to see that it is just a feeling. The technique is to be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling. It is resistance that keeps the feeling going. When you give up resisting or trying to modify the feeling, it will shift to the next feeling and be accompanied by a lighter sensation. A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates.

As you begin the process, you will notice that you have fear and guilt over having feelings; there will be resistance to feelings in general. To let feelings come up, it is easier to let go of the reaction to having the feelings in the first place. A fear of fear itself is a prime example of this. Let go of the fear or guilt that you have about the feeling first, and then get into the feeling itself.

When letting go, ignore all thoughts. Focus on the feeling itself, not on the thoughts. Thoughts are endless and self-reinforcing, and they only breed more thoughts. Thoughts are merely rationalizations of the mind to try and explain the presence of the feeling. The real reason for the feeling is the accumulated pressure behind the feeling that is forcing it to come up in the moment. The thoughts or external events are only an excuse made up by the mind.

As we become more familiar with letting go, it will be noticed that all negative feelings are associated with our basic fear related to survival and that all feelings are merely survival programs that the mind believes are necessary. The letting go technique undoes the programs progressively. Through that process, the underlying motive behind the feelings becomes more and more apparent.

Let these words sink in and saturate your being. Let them marinate. I recommend beginning to practice the Letting Go Technique to see what happens. I suspect you will be delighted and moved by the results.

Indeed, simple but profound technique. To me it helps with some negative emotions which stimulate lots of repetitive thoughts about past stories. The powerful thing is to stop resisting those emotions, let them come and they start to resolve together with thousands of thought patterns attached to those emotions.

One thing to mention. Ego (our small I) can resist this letting go process. Be aware of it. It loves dramas and stories and the technique is actually doing opposite, setting you free from them.

Occasionally we do need to walk away from a relationship, a career, a dream, or a geographical location forever. I often see this with clients in my practice as an intuitive, but more often than not, life asks us to surrender and put temporary space between ourselves and a person, situation, or goal. Surrender brings peace; leaves the door open for hope, change, and new perspectives; and actually helps usher abundance into our lives. Consider the following distinctions when you are questioning whether to give up or surrender:

If a couple had been trying to conceive naturally for years and then spent thousands of dollars on fertility treatments with no success, they might surrender their hope for conceiving a child. Surrendering could look like researching adoption options while continuing to do the "baby dance," as they call it on the mommy chat boards.

I was remembering a story about my boys from two years ago. One morning Eli (then 7) asks Lucas (then 4) who he loves more, himself or mama? Lucas being four and his world wrapped around his mother says, "Mama."

Eli then goes into a speech about how you have to love yourself the most. If you love yourself the most then you can love other people. He made a good case to the little one on why loving himself was the first step to mama love. The four year old just glazed over and I teared up.

This child is my little spirit guide in matters of the heart and spirit. He is so much like me. And we both struggle with explosive feelings and deep desires for surrender inside of the struggle that we tend to create for ourselves.

The other night as he was doing his homework he throws down his pencil and whines at me, "Mooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaam. I just can't finish my homework until I organize my chi." And then he asks to meditate. He has grown up watching Avatar and Korra as his source of spirituality and they haven't let us down.

I surrendered and lit the candle and put on the music and watched as his body calmed down inside of his own surrender. I have been feeling like such an unfocused, trying to be all things for everyone mom right now, my chi is pretty unorganized.

Each time I look at my calendar and think about what program I'd like to run there is always a direct connection to where I am. Over the last two years I've worked on creating a ritual, a practice of moving into surrender. And right now I am needing it again. I need to go into my practice, as I will again and again.

As we find ourselves pushing against and fighting what we are feeling, we draw in more of that which we push. We continue to obsess, replay, hear the mind chatter that keeps us stuck. That old story plays over and over and over. We become trapped.
