As I sat in meditation today I pondered my daily lesson that had been given to me by my spiritual teachers.
Surrender was what was calling my name.
I was being asked to surrender,
To surrender control,
Expectations and the outcome that I had in my mind.
Surrender the feeling that I was powerless.
To surrender any beliefs that were limiting and untrue.
And I asked myself,
What is it that is so frightening that leads to this complete resistance to surrender?
Is it the fear of the unknown?
Or is it knowing deep down that all your false beliefs will be proven to be false and that actually you are much more powerful and loving and happy and peaceful than the ego would have had you believe?
Is it so terrible,
This death of the ego?
What has the ego brought us?
Why do we need to claim?
I guess it allowed us to survive in this world and it can still serve us.
But not with our higher selves leashed and begging for attention.
Rather with us holding the reins and the ego more like a beast of burden but not unhappy.
Conscious of our choices and why we are here on this earth we will be able to partner with the ego and partner with the ways of this world more effectively.
To return the lights and love into this world.
When only in surrender can we truly shine our lights in the darkness.
We are afraid of the dark but clinging to that fear will not cause the light to shine.
We need to surrender.
To surrender and know that the dark cannot harm us.
Know that the dark simply is.
The dark is simply not love.
The light is love.
There is only love and not love.
And with the not love it's simply just a slight detour before we are in that state of love.
So breathe deeply with me and let go of those resistances and false beliefs.
Surrender all those weights and chains.
Surrender your fear.
And open your eyes,
Your spiritual eyes,
Your eyes of knowing and see the truth of who you are.
See the truth of this universe and this life that you have.
All its magnificence,
Its beauty and the love that radiates from every person,
Every situation,
Every breath.
And let that truth,
That deep knowing settle into your bones.
Let that truth settle into every atom of your physical being.
Into every particle of energy of your soul and your energy body.
And as it does so you realize that that energy and that truth has been there all along.
You are simply uncovering that knowledge,
Not bringing in something new but letting something ancient shine forth from within you.
And as that knowledge spreads across your body,
Mind and spirit like wildfire you feel that every atom and every part of you start vibrating with the truth of that love,
The truth of your being.
And as it vibrates it starts emanating and light shines forth from your being in the spirit realm and in the physical.
Lights of love and compassion,
Truth,
Acceptance and mostly lights of surrender into the fullness of your being.
Surrender into your higher self and into your connection with this world,
With the souls who are walking on earth besides you and who are watching all around.
And let that surrender flow out of you,
Let light shine forth into the non-love darkness.
And let that love shine all around you in waves.
Let that love reach those closest to you.
Unconditional love and acceptance of who they are and where they've always been and of their choices that they are making in this journey.
Knowing that they are safe,
Knowing that it's safe for them to choose their own path.
And let that love widen and reach the people in your neighbourhood who you may know or not know and feel the truth that even if you don't know them you do know them on a soul level because we are all connected.
And again send them your compassion and love and unconditional acceptance.
And let these waves of love and light spread out further into the world radiating outwards to your town,
Your city,
Your state,
Your province.
Let those waves spread to your entire country.
May all who dwell in it be well and be loved.
And may all who are listening to this meditation be loved and accepted unconditionally.
Letting the love radiate and shine covering the entire planet.
Surrendering to the truth of what is and to the love that binds us all together.
And feel that pulsing beat within your chest.
Feel that it is the same beat that pulses through the earth from its very molten core.
The same beat that pulses in the hearts of every being,
Every plant,
Every atom of energy vibrating in that frequency envelope.
Surrendering to the ultimate divine order.
And feel how all of these connected beings also send you their waves of love.
And reach yourself deep in that awareness that you are just one within a whole.
You are not alone.
And that this power of love that unites us all is our natural state of being.
And as you withdraw that awareness and start becoming aware again of your own being as an isolated self,
Remain aware of the bigger hole that surrounds you.
And retain that knowledge of the dark,
The non-love and the light,
The love.
And that truly all there is is that love.
And that we can choose to take a longer route or a shorter one.
That does not matter because only love is real.
It is safe to surrender,
Safe to be one within that hole and safe to be within yourself in the moments of world detachments.
And you can never truly be separate from this universal love.
No matter what you do,
No matter what you choose,
You cannot be separate from the love.
You cannot be unsafe.
And you cannot be disconnected from your loved ones and from this planet.
And most importantly,
You cannot be disconnected from yourself.
So it's safe to call in all the parts of us that we may have locked up for our own safety,
The parts of us that are going to do hiding,
Fearing our own rejection or judgment.
The parts of us that are hiding in plain sight by wearing masks.
And let that awareness of this uniting love and truth pull all those parts of you back into your interior whole being,
United with love and light.
And assure them that it's safe for them to reveal themselves when they feel comfortable to do so.
Gather all the pieces of your soul and all the pieces of yourself into your being.
And feel the strength of the earth still pushing up through the roots that you extended down and the light of the universe shining down upon you.
Wear off that love that is both within you and outside of you.
Trust in yourself and trust in the universe to guide you.
Surrendering to a higher purpose,
Surrendering to that knowledge that there is only love and you are not separate from it.
Breathe in deeply,
Affirming to yourself,
I am love.
I am light.
Every atom of my body,
Every part of my soul aligns with true purpose and love.
I am one with the universe.
I am.
I am whole.
And as you become more aware of your body,
Twiddling your toes and your fingers,
Taking deep breaths,
Carry that awareness with you into your day.
Savor the knowledge that it will never leave you because it simply is what is true.
It cannot not be.
What is true and love yourself no matter where you are.
Namaste.
