Surrender-It’s that simple!
Do you ever feel like you’re doing ‘life’ on your own? Like all the big decisions must be made by constantly ruminating, during the day and late into the night. Or perhaps you wake up in the early hours of the morning, seemingly with little or no sleep. You’re exhausted from this driven need to decide, solve the problem or complete some pressing task that is stuck in your head. Often there is still no solution or satisfaction with the result as the new day presents itself.
Perhaps you ask yourself, do I have to do this ‘life’ thing, this 3D reality, this human journey on my own? If so it sucks!
This begs the question; am I really alone or is there some greater power out there that can support and guide me and fix my problems, if I ask nicely?
Here’s a thought. What if this power is actually inside you and has been since eternity? That IS a long time. In essence you are never alone. You are in fact, a divine piece of the benevolent universe that is always working on your behalf. You are pure unlimited infinite consciousness and you have a direct link to the infinite or God through your intuitive intelligence. This communication is endless and ongoing and available right now! You simply need to trust and surrender your personal will to divine will. In a nut shell, get your hands off that steering wheel and hand it over to God. Decide to put that ‘thing’ down and ‘Let Go and Let God’! Could it possibly be that simple? In surrendering these feelings and thoughts you are instantly awakened to your true unlimited self which is the knowing that you have never been separate from divine consciousness. Blissfully you are home, safe and cocooned in God’s infinite love.
So how can I connect with my unlimited intuitive self you may ask? How do I find this peace, this space where I feel loved, guided and supported and I can fearlessly hand my burdens over to God? And is it simple?
To use myself as an example; I’m awake, lying in bed and it’s 2.30 in the morning. I’ve just about written an entire script for my Year 5 assembly item, complete with music, costumes and lighting effects – move over Steven Spielberg! I’ve considered everything, even what could possibly go wrong, like I can control that!
I stop, breathe and become aware and curious about my overthinking. Using an extended breathing practice, I go into the silence. I get out of the way and let God flow through me. I invoke feelings of gratitude, compassion and appreciation in a practice called ‘Heart Coherence’.
As a Third Level Priestess studying at the ‘Institute of Intuitive Intelligence’ and training as an Intuitive guide and practitioner I have experienced the benefits of this practice. By allowing 3 to 5 minutes before you start your day you can feel energised with this powerful and transformative practice.
Let us begin …. Find a place where you can sit in silence and feel safe to do so. Close down your eyes and place two fingers to the centre of your chest (this automatically sends a signal to your subtle anatomy and connects you directly to God or infinite consciousness.)
Take a deep breath in through your nose and let it go out through your mouth with an audible sigh. Let go of all those thoughts, burdens and concerns knowing that for the next few minutes you are safe to do so. Let your breath return to its own natural rhythm and feel your body sink into the chair in which you sit. Allow yourself to be fully here in this ever present now. Turn your attention to mental images, thoughts and memories that invoke feelings of deep gratitude e.g. a smile from your child, a walk on the beach, your first cup of tea of the day etc. Allow these images to take your vibrational feelings of gratitude higher. Completely give yourself over to these feelings of gratitude and appreciation. Allow them to bubble up inside you and expand with as much intensity as possible. Surrender to these feelings of love for the next few minutes. When you are comfortable to do become aware of the chair you are sitting in, wriggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes.
The more you practice Heart Coherence the higher your vibration will become, which is Love. In these moments of bliss and surrender you come to realise that you’re not alone but intuitively connected, supported and guided. This feeling of absolute bliss is your divine right. Take comfort in knowing that going into the stillness allows you to connect to infinite consciousness at any time in your day. You simply choose to make time for yourself, surrender and ‘Let Go and Let God.’

Wonderfully written Julie and perfectly true. Our ‘overthoughts’ think they are in control. Ha! Surrender is in that heart space….
