Welcome to the surrender series,
Let Go and Let God.
How do we let go and let God?
What is surrender and is it as simple as just saying,
I surrender?
How can surrender improve our lives,
Our relationships,
Our experience?
What is the art of surrender?
So if you're listening to this,
You've likely heard about surrender and letting go,
Or perhaps it is a deep part of your practice.
You're seeking to delve deeper,
Or maybe it's just the beginning for you.
Maybe you're feeling stress and tension in your life and you're curious,
What is this idea of letting go?
What is this idea of surrender?
How does it work?
How do I do it?
So wherever you find yourself,
Wherever we are meeting today,
Welcome with so much love,
So much appreciation for your presence.
Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
Such a beautiful,
Beautiful gathering.
And surrender is a really remarkable,
Powerful thing to practice.
I remember when I first heard about this term surrender,
To be completely honest,
I didn't like the sound of it because the ego tends to associate the word surrender with giving up.
You know,
If you,
For example,
Have seen armies where they surrender to the enemy,
And they say,
You know what,
We surrender,
And they put up the white flag.
And so on some level,
It has multiple meanings,
Surrender.
And part of us that likes to think we're in control of everything,
And we do things the way we like to do it,
And have it our way,
That part of us is typically not particularly inspired by this idea of surrender.
But what happens is when we really understand what this really means and how it really applies in our real life,
We start to experience that what happens as we practice this is we go from feeling stressed,
Feeling tense,
Feeling anxious,
Feeling worried.
We go from that state to a state of profound peace and ease.
And things work out much,
Much,
Much,
Much easier,
And with a lot less effort and a lot more joy.
So the actual practical result of doing what we're about to share with you today is that you will have enormously shifted your experience of life from stressed,
Worried,
Confused,
Tense,
Thinking too much,
Trying too hard,
Push,
Push,
Push,
That whole energy.
So many people are stuck in that.
We're going to release that,
And we're going to come into this higher state of consciousness where we have divine power helping us,
And where we are in synchronicities and wonder and miracles,
And where things seem to occur with a sense of profound unfoldment beyond anything that we would be able to do on our own.
So we're going to go through three steps today in the beginning of this series.
And before we do,
I would like to go into a pre-step that emerged in my awareness just before this,
And I feel is such a significant pre-step to this consciousness of surrender.
And that pre-step is that in order to let go,
We have to trust in life.
We have to trust that there is benefit in everything.
So it's divine perfection,
I'm sure,
That just before recording this,
I had an opportunity to really let go,
To surrender.
Michael,
I was working on what we were going to share today,
And Michael came and shared that this was supposed to be live,
What we're recording right now on Insight Timer for our beloved family there.
And our team member had made a mistake and had set the event for 4 a.
M.
Our time instead of 12 p.
M.
We didn't know,
And of course we weren't there.
And this is the second time that's happened recently.
And so I really had to go into that deep space of silence and trust and letting go.
On one hand,
When situations like this arise,
It could be easy to go into a flow of negative feelings.
It could be easy to go into a space of questioning,
Doubt,
Remorse,
Irritation,
Whatever it is.
We could go into that space,
I could have gone into that space,
And I could have stayed in that space.
And we've all been there at some point.
I could have stayed in that space for for five minutes,
For an hour,
For days.
Sometimes people stay in that space for months,
For years,
Resentments,
And at least negative feelings.
But I went into this feeling and this knowingness that has really been a foundation for me of surrender.
That there is benefit in everything.
There is absolute benevolence every moment and scene of life.
The unfolding of life is absolutely reliable.
There's significance,
There's meaning,
There's benefit.
And that firm faith and knowing that it is good.
It is good.
Not why did this happen or what about this and it should have been like that and why didn't it go and why did this person do that and no it is good.
I may see that right now.
I may see and the sooner we come to that place the sooner we will see the goodness.
I may see it right now.
It may take time.
So we also have that patience and faith.
It is good.
Life knows what it's doing and that firm faith opens the door to letting go.
It opens the door to allowing us to rest in that deeper part of ourselves that knows that trust.
With that trust,
This pre-step,
We're then really able to go into surrender and letting go.
If we don't trust then that part of ourselves that wants to grasp and control and make things how they should be and make other people how they should be and this should be like that.
It will be very difficult to let go from that space.
And so even in this situation and we also ask ourselves,
You know,
Well what do I need to change and is there any action I need to take?
We're open to transformation.
And even with this experience today I'm already feeling the gratitude and the love and the trust that if that didn't happen I would not be speaking to you now about this pre-step.
Maybe it would have come through in some way but not in this way.
Not with this level of importance and significance.
If that didn't happen right before I wouldn't be perhaps even more merged in this space right now of that letting go.
And then there's some other benefits such that perhaps this episode will be posted in more places than it would have been otherwise and there's some other pieces involved.
So we have that total trust,
We have that total surrender because we trust.
So we'll delve into these three steps now and I may bring in this pre-step more throughout because it really is a foundation to let go.
If you think about if you were going to fall back and there was someone behind you who you trusted to hold you you could fall back and let go and surrender.
So just let that stay in your awareness and it'll we'll talk more about it as we go into these steps.
So what's the first step Michael?
Well surrender is a very deep thing and we need to have an intention,
An interest,
A desire to let go.
So that pre-step,
Lara was just talking about,
You could even call it a step really,
I mean it depends how you look at it,
Because we need to have that feeling that truly there is benefit.
And truly because of that trust it's safe to let go.
This is a very deep thing,
We could have a whole session just on that one thing,
The benefit and everything.
I'm sure you have experienced something that went horribly wrong so to speak at the time and you're like,
Wait hang on a minute why did that happen that's really really really awful.
And at the time you may have thought there can't possibly be any benefit in this whatsoever and then it might be the next day,
Might be the next year,
It might be 10 years later but you look back and go I'm really grateful that that happened because it led me to this this and this or I wouldn't have done this or this wouldn't have happened if that hadn't happened.
Sometimes the chain of events in life is extremely complicated and when you try and trace it back you realize that many things that were awful actually were part of this wonderful chain that led to something truly exceptional.
So once we have that mantra,
It's a beautiful mantra,
It is good,
It is wonderful.
This is what R and I said when we heard about this,
Oh our event that we set up happened already at four o'clock in the morning,
It's wonderful,
It's wonderful and of course things are going to need to be done to make sure this doesn't keep happening and that could be part of the benefit as well.
So we have that consciousness,
There is huge benefit in this situation and then we move into I am surrendered to the highest good of all.
So there's benefit,
We trust there's benefit for ourselves and there's benefit for all of life.
So with that we trust that there was benefit for all of the souls who connected.
So from that place of trust we can move into this place of intention like Michael just said,
Intention.
My intention is that I surrender to the highest good for all.
My intention is just that simple statement I surrender.
So from that place of trust and that foundation of grounding in to knowing there's benefit we can move into this first step of intention,
Setting our intention to be in a space of letting go of surrender.
And one of the things how I like to imagine this is that there is a beam of light.
This has been my this has been my personal experience that imagine there are millions of options because right now and every single moment of every single day there are almost infinite number of decisions and choices.
Should I do this?
Should I do this?
Should I eat this?
Should I drink this?
Should I go here?
Should I think this?
Should I say this?
Should I say it this way?
Should I say it that way?
So there's infinite number of things and you can imagine standing somewhere and there are infinite choices and out of all those infinite choices there is a beam of light,
A beam of light shining down in on one choice or one direction and that beam of light is the highest good for all which means in other words it is going to benefit you and others at the highest possible level.
So let's just let's simplify it.
Let's say there are 10 choices.
One of the 10 is going to be the highest benefit,
The highest direction,
The highest way to go,
The thing that's going to really support you in your life and also support others because if we do something that's only good for us but is bad for someone else or bad for the world in general then we will get the backlash from doing that.
So we want to align with something that benefits you and is also aligned with others.
When these two things come together then we are moving in a direction that will get the support of the whole world energetically because we're not saying I want to do it at the expense of others.
We're saying I'm going to align my life with something that I benefit from and others benefit from at the highest level and when you stand into that experience it literally feels like you've come into a beam of sacred light and synchronicities and magic and wonders.
CB So this is a beautiful intention to start with.
It you may have your own wording or maybe it's just a feeling but really when we have an intention and it's real then we're going to move in that direction.
I was recently speaking with a friend and Andrew and he was we were talking about intention and he was giving the example we were talking about the magic of intention and just miraculous manifestations that happen when we hold an intention and it will happen in ways we don't expect.
The most incredibly miraculous ways that who could write that more perfectly.
So he was saying how we really have to have our full heart and energy behind that intention.
It's not just this kind of weak thought that we don't really believe in or really intend to do.
You know you might say oh I intend to feed the cat or something but you don't and you're really expecting someone else to do it or you know you intend to water the plants but you don't really.
Well you intend to make a million dollars but you're not really doing anything about it.
Many people have intentions that are these massive things but they're not aligned with it in any practical way in real life.
CB So we were talking about that and he was saying it's like you intend to go to the bathroom for example.
We were thinking it's like if you're on a road trip and you really need to use the restroom you intend to go.
You are going to go.
You are going to find a place no matter what.
You're not going to not do that.
You're definitely going to make it happen.
So there's that.
JF When you gotta go you gotta go.
CB You know like there's that backing of conviction and the intention.
So it's an intention with conviction,
With power,
With yes that's what I intend to do.
Right?
So it's an intention and it's powerful and you mean it.
You mean it with your whole being.
JF That's right.
If you're on a road trip and you're in middle of nowhere you're still going to figure something out and that's a very different feeling when you're on a road trip.
It's a very different feeling when you're absolutely definitely going to make it happen than when it's just this very lofty thing that's sort of floating around,
Not getting any energy and just flying about somewhere.
CB Which is such a beautiful paradox because we're talking about surrender today and when we think about surrender and letting go,
You know,
It's a total release.
It's a total softening.
Right?
That sort of energy.
But we're starting with first of all that trust and second of all this intention that is real and is powerful.
So really if you want to move into this space of letting go and surrender,
First of all have a real intention that this is something you really,
Really want to experience.
JF Yes.
I'll give you another story that's kind of funny related to this.
I had the intention to go to Kauai more often and my mother's there and I'd like to see her make sure she's all right.
And I had the intention that in order for that to be practical I need to buy a car because I want to have a car so I can drive around easily and not have to rent cars.
So I had this intention and I was like I want to pay it roughly,
You know,
Within this range of how much and I'm not really bothered about specifically what it is as long as it's a good car,
Reliable,
Solid,
Doesn't need,
It's like good to,
It's a solid car basically.
I'm not that worried about what particular brand because it's a second car and I'm not going to use it much.
So I was just sending all these options to my mother to look into because I'm not there to physically buy the car.
Gave her a bunch of cash and I just let it go.
I just sent these messages.
I don't even remember what it was.
I just would find something and said check this out,
Check this out,
Check this out and let it go.
The intention was there and then it was funny,
I plugged the internet in and checked my email and it said something like Fiat Accomplicie.
She wrote something in like Italian,
Right?
And then she had these four pictures of this car.
There was a picture of the car in her driveway,
Picture of the registration,
Change of ownership and a picture of the keys.
And I was like,
I had no idea,
Like we didn't talk about this.
I didn't know what was going on but it just happened.
I still don't quite know what I've thought exactly at this point.
But just letting go and surrendering to the highest good.
So that's the sort of thing that you're not quite sure what it is,
How it's going to work out,
How it's going to line up,
What's going to happen,
Who's going to do it necessarily.
But it somehow miraculously comes together and it's kind of fun actually to see what unfolds when we hold these intentions.
So you trusted and you had the intention.
Had the intention and let go.
And let go.
So moving into this next step where we want to make sure the mind is in alignment with our intention of letting go and with our trust.
Because even if we have the intention and we have some level of trust at least,
If your mind is having all of these worry thoughts and we call them waste thoughts and if Michael was thinking,
Oh I don't think it's going to work out,
I'm not sure if I sent the right amount of money and can she really handle getting the car on her own.
And if he was having all of those thoughts even though he did really have the intention to surrender and even though typically if the mind's having those thoughts maybe we have to work on our trust more.
But Michael how do you think it would have unfolded if your mind wasn't in alignment?
If the mind wasn't in alignment then the actions wouldn't be in alignment either.
You know like we had to wire lots of money it had to actually cost a hundred dollars to send a check to Hawaii which I thought was a bit ridiculous.
But these sort of practical actions,
Sending money,
Looking into things,
Being open and then completely letting go.
If the mind is wavering then we either send out mixed messages and weird energy and or we don't do the necessary steps because most things in life if we're honest are a bit of a risk.
Intending anything that's different requires us going beyond our current comfort zone and we're not quite sure what's going on.
And so that if the mind is wobbling about we will actually block ourselves on some level from doing the things or in or being open to receive things that are wanting to come to us and wanting to align with that.
So there's a lot of trust involved in this intention,
This surrender which is very interesting.
So in bringing the mind into alignment something that you can do is create a surrender mantra and this is something that you wanted to really resonate with you.
So just yesterday on a call for Awakened Academy spiritual life coach group certification,
A sister brought up you know is surrender is simple as just saying I surrender.
That's a beautiful mantra.
You could have that.
I surrender.
You bring the mind back.
I surrender.
I trust.
I surrender to the highest good for all.
I let go.
If you want to make a spiritual practice of connecting with the divine,
Connecting with God,
I give this all to you.
I am yours.
All is in your hands.
I trust.
So I'm just giving some examples here to really help bring your your mind and your thinking into alignment with that intention to surrender.
So that the thoughts that you're thinking will bring feelings with them that will support you in being in this space of letting go.
It's really powerful these different statements and it's useful to find the thing that touches your heart and that's the thing that makes you feel good.
It's really powerful these different statements and it's useful to find the thing that touches your heart.
I remember one time when I was living in Hawaii and I was just starting out in my business and work and I didn't have proper systems and reliable sources of income and it was a bit on the edge.
I remember at one point I realized that I didn't have enough money to pay my rent and if I didn't get a certain amount of money I might be evicted.
It was really quite a concerning situation and I initially got into a sense of stress and panic and trying to do everything I could but then I realized that this is not working.
So I went to the beach and I just said I am surrendered to the highest good for all.
I remember this very clearly this one beach called Secret Speech and by these volcanic rocks near next to the ocean.
I am surrendered to the highest good sitting there on the sand let it go let it go sincerely let it go.
This mantra I am surrendered to the highest good for all and if that means that it's truly the highest good for everyone including me and everyone else that I get evicted and live on the beach or figure something else out then that is the highest good for all.
And if it's the highest good of all for something else to happen because I'm doing my best to be of service and get things together and make things happen then something or other will line up or I'll get a better idea or something will happen.
So I just sat there and I let go and I let go and I let go and gradually the anxiety and the worry faded away drained out of my feeling state.
And I remember by the time I walked back from the beach up the hill I felt great didn't feel any worry at all and I was I was completely okay with these various options that may unfold.
I wasn't holding on and grasping.
And I remember I think it might have been the same day or the next day someone sent me a bunch of money which was plenty to pay for everything I needed.
It was just a miracle I didn't expect it was out from the side and I was like great well there it is you know and I've experienced this sort of thing again and again and again where when there's true genuine openness to let go of our preferred way of going about things and when these words I am surrendered to the highest good for all or I give this all to you I am yours I let go.
When these words go from just words to a shift in our feelings we really feel we've come into the beam of light and then all negative feelings are drained and then something's gonna happen and whatever happens because we've prepared ourselves we understand is truly the highest good for all.
So beautiful.
So beautiful and as as we really ground this in so like Michael was just sharing an example of an experience where he went to the beach and like working on a specific situation I surrender to the highest good for all and as you practice everything we're sharing with you today and everything we'll be sharing with you as you go deep and to surrender it becomes your way of life it becomes your whole consciousness your whole consciousness and foundation is that I surrender to the highest good for all constantly in every situation non-stop and it's fascinating because because that becomes your mind and your heart and your life and your being that perfect beautiful surrender you know in your conscience and you trust that everything that unfolds is in alignment with that it's almost like you're you're putting this setting of your consciousness on I'm surrendered to the highest good for all of life and it stays there so at first you might have to keep resetting it the knob but eventually and we're going to go deeper and deeper so that we're going to go deeper and deeper so that to support you and being in this place this setting just stays there and because it stays there you know and you feel it's there so even with what happened this morning two times recently with Inside Timer and if anyone listening if you came and I wasn't there I really sincerely apologize from my heart I do and I have to trust that there was some benefit for you some benefit for everyone involved and I really feel that trust and I really feel that that love and of course also a commitment to change and to making things good I really love and trust because of that setting that I know I am surrendered to the highest good for all and for some reason beyond somewhat beyond somewhat known in my consciousness the way that unfolded was in the highest perfection it could have been it was in the greatest benevolence it could have been despite there could be a lower part of myself that says oh but why did that happen and all those people and and I love them and I miss them right now normally we're talking to you live and I miss you but because of that setting there's that deeper place of trust and I was speaking about this just yesterday to my mother's this theme is very present in consciousness she's under the weather it might be that special virus we all know about and she was really beating herself up about because we also got it and a bunch of other family members we had all been together recently she was really going into that negative space of being so hard on herself and oh look what she did she brought everyone together and look what's happened and this is so horrible and you know going and I said stop no more no more no there is benefit there is benevolence there's goodness right here right now she and she got it when we were leaving the phone she said I believe you it's so beautiful it takes practice I think the more we experience this practically in our lives again and again and again it takes time the more we experience it then we start to really trust and really feel that this is good and if you think about it you've got really got two choices choice number one is when things happen in life we hold on we get stressed out we force our way we get into complaining and negativity and blaming and and it makes us feel awful and when we are feeling terrible and in complaining mode and in excuses and blaming and attacking and all that stuff we are going to cause problems from that state because the state of consciousness we're in has an effect a direct effect on the sorts of actions we take and if you've ever been in an argument with someone and they're upset and you're upset you know there can be some nasty words coming through and of course you could say that's the highest good for all as well and it is and at the same time this is not necessarily the best state of consciousness to live our lives from the other option is what we're talking about here is where instead of doing that we say there's got to be benefit not sure exactly what it is necessarily right now but I'm surrendered to the highest good for all I'm open to receive divine support I'm curious and in a state of wonder and mystery about what is going to happen here and let's see let us see so it's really moving into this third step we talked about intention we talked about bringing the mind into alignment of course we've been talking about throughout this pre-step kind of foundation of trust and now really we go into that feeling experience go into the feeling of letting go what is the feeling of releasing the weight what is the feeling of releasing that pressure valve inside and like all the air is being released from the balloon just take a moment with that what does that feel like to completely let go of all of your burdens and weights to let the weight of the world off your shoulders sigh of relief softening what is that feeling to completely give everything over to a higher power that there is a presence taking care of all of it for you that there is a presence taking care of all of it for you what is the feeling that it is all in divine hands you're outsourcing it taking it off your plate taking it off your shoulders what does that feel like so ultimately in this practice we're moving into this feeling state the mind is in alignment our beliefs are in alignment our attitude is in alignment our whole consciousness is in alignment and that feeling that release in the mind in the body in the heart the spirit is able to occur it's kind of like as if we were gripping onto something so tightly and then we just open our palms there's two ways of letting go if you think about it one is like i was saying like imagine you're holding a ball i'd say a tennis ball in your hands right and you let go of ball and it would just drop to the ground right or a rock you know so you can imagine that sort of surrender where you're holding on to something could be wearing a big heavy backpack and then you choose to let it go or put it down so you feel the burden the weight of the burden being pulled down it's like immediately as soon as you release the ball it drops or release a rock it drops so that's one way the other way is where you hand over something heavy to somebody else they take it out of your hand imagine you're carrying something really heavy and they say i'll take that from you and so you're not dropping it it's being taken out being taken away from it's no longer yours and so these are like physical things you can feel or imagine you're working on a project and it's beyond your capacity or you haven't got enough time or it's something really difficult and you're stressed out about it imagine someone comes along who's an expert who's done this many many many times and can do it really really easily this this being or this person says you know what just give it to me just email it over we'll take it i'll give you this here it is and i'll take care of it for you and you don't have to do anything you can just take a nice rest it's going to be fine wouldn't you be grateful yeah someone says don't worry you just rest i'll take care of it and what we're talking about with let go and let god is that we have as human beings we have a limited capacity even if someone has a high capacity and they're very powerful and they can do lots of things it still has a certain limit because you have a human body and we're only at a certain level god on the other hand has an unlimited amount of power unlimited power power right it's like a candle compared to the sun and the sun is a massive massive massive power imagine there's an unlimited sun massively bigger than any sun you can imagine compared to a candle right the huge difference so what we're saying is is that our personal will and our personal you know capacity is limited god is unlimited so we're saying let me hand it over to you and and not only let me hand over let me align with your power and your intentions let me be open to receive your power and love and peace and work through me to get your great work accomplished in the way you want it done and ariel told me this wonderful expression from mother tracer if you want to share it i was singing the same thought um oh goodness i love this so much let god use you without consulting you let god use you without consulting you isn't that beautiful so we can try and align practically but also things can come through us when we have the intention without us quite knowing what's happening or why it's happening we might even find ourselves doing things that are a bit difficult and a bit outside our comfort zone and be compelled to do things and it turns out that we're working under a higher power that is not apparent to even ourselves so really what we're talking about here is going from the personal will my opinion what i like has to be like this i need to control everything that whole complex to surrendering to the highest good to divine will and saying let me at the best of my ability let go and be an instrument to be in alignment with the highest good and to not even necessarily know what's going to happen but it's the intention is that something of value something of benefit for the whole is brought forth through my whole body is brought forth through my life so beautiful and what happens is that everything unfolds with such divine perfection that is far beyond anything you could have ever intended or created yourself right so it becomes this this loop of faith faith and surrender because the more you surrender the more you have these experiences the more you trust and the more you surrender and the more life unfolds with such divine perfection that is far beyond anything you could ever take credit for not even slightly so this is a this is an experience you know i remember like i said at the beginning that when i first heard about these things i didn't like the idea of it because it seemed like i was releasing control which it is about that but as i've experienced miracles and wonders and strange and wondrous occurrences happened because of this i have developed more and more and more trust and more and more faith and more and more curiosity about okay what's going to happen next and gradually we can release this sense of grasping and holding and stressing and we start to sincerely enjoy this beautiful state of openness and surrender and not knowing everything and not having to have it all planned out and be open to things changing and aligning and as we have that experience it becomes easier and more interesting for us to live from that place such a beautiful topic i think it's interesting how we all have different inclinations and personalities and i always really like this this term i really like this idea of letting go and letting god and i think this feeling of of of myself i'm like nothing i can't do anything i'm not i don't have the brains you know but but when i but i can just surrender and allow this beautiful this beautiful perfect presence of god take care of it such a wonderful thing and i think such a wonderful thing i remember um i a friend of actually both of ours brother wayne brother wayne he was he was um he really liked acro yoga i don't know if you've ever seen that where someone's like the foundation the base and then it's it's really fun and then you like rest on their feet in their hands and if you're the the person that's being held and i remember i still remember he said to me he's like i've never met anyone who just melts so much and like like surrenders and i think i just love that feeling because it's so painful to hold on and and try and control everything and have like the weight of the world on our shoulders you know and we have to get to that place where really gosh i don't want to do that you know get to that place and let me just let me just melt into that perfect trust in god i think this is a wonderful thing to explore a little bit because i a lot of it is to do with our background and what we've experienced from other people you know for me the word surrender the only the only context that i'd ever heard surrender in when i first heard it talking in a spiritual way the only other context was the idea of army surrendering to the enemy so my connotation was i'm losing to the enemy which obviously is not a good connotation you know whereas this is the opposite this is letting go letting go of the enemy yeah exactly so it depends on this and it also depends on whether or not we think we can do everything on our own if if we have had some success and we've done things we were attached to our ideas then the idea of having a different way or something new can be threatening to the ego but as we experience this again and again we realize it's fascinating and i mean wayne is a good example i met wayne on the first day he arrived on kawaii and i met him on the first day he arrived in austin and because of him we he recommended she connect with me and because of that she came to my house and because of that we've been together ever since so blessings to brother wayne and um but i met him on the first day he arrived and i i wasn't supposed to be where i was i was like going on the back of someone's motorbike to this health food store in the middle of nowhere different from where i was staying met him and he and he needed someone to stay came and stayed in the tent where we were staying we weren't in a tent but he there was a tent in the back garden and i remember i had the intention to set up an online business and i wasn't sure how to make it work and i needed someone who did code and little did i know when i met wayne that he was a coder who had the same intention so my very first online business was with wayne right the start of all of all of right at the beginning and we didn't have any money at all i mean literally we made i think i had like seven dollars or something and we we went to the to the um coffee shop to use their wi-fi because we didn't even have wi-fi so we brought like a cheapest coffee and sat there working on our website stuff back in i think 2007 2008 creating binaural beads binaural beat websites and so the intention was there had no idea how it was going to work out ended up on the back of a motorbike in some random place meet some random guy who just arrived who happened to be in the same place who needed somewhere to stay came back to the house and we ended up had the exact skill set he had the exact skills that i didn't have and i had the exact skills that he didn't have so between us we ended up creating all sorts of wonderful things and then because of him i met ariel and she met me and we wouldn't be sharing this podcast right now if what if it wasn't for brother wayne you know what i mean brother wayne so wayne hoover we're sending you special blessings right now this podcast and i think he ended up living where i had just been living and it's amazing the synchronicity and grace of life as we let go and we trust and we allow and we open and and so so much synchronicity and magic happens in our connections and in our relationships and the more we're able to bring this practice of surrender and letting go surrender to the highest good for all to all of our connections there's quite the divine orchestration and you know beautiful unfolding that that is allowed to take place it's fascinating fascinating and if you tune into like what we just shared what's the chances of somebody arriving in the middle of the pacific island happening to me me almost immediately and then going to a totally different city in texas austin which is loads and loads of people and also bumping into ariel you met wayne by the water too did you see the beach yeah we were at uh barton springs austin anyone listening such a heavenly place we were at the water as well yeah so so what's the chances it's you know you can't put the numbers on that sort of thing but especially heavens once it's surprising if happens twice the numbers you know so it's these sort of things happen all the time when we have hold the intention when we let go we don't necessarily know but we're open see the key thing is that you have to also be willing like we talked about before the intention isn't just i'm open and that's it it's i'm open and i am going to actually do things practically with my body and my time and energy and everything when things line up so if you intend to make tea when and how things line up if you intend to have a nice cup of tea you're not just gonna have a nice cup of tea you're not just gonna intend to have tea you're going to make the tea or someone will make it for you or you'll buy a cup of tea it's a and then you'll drink the tea so there's a big difference between wishful thinking which is what a lot of people do and real intention and then and then surrender and then when that perfect moment happens it's time to go for it to take action take action so you do everything you can i mean this is another element of surrender and we'll we'll start to we'll start to wrap it up this is obviously a big a loved topic we do everything we can we take we take the actions we can and because we've taken all the actions we've can't all the actions we can we've done we've done what we're able to we let go you know in your conscience that you've addressed it on all the different levels and we give the rest to god so this is very deep and one is our personal will one is aligning one is doing things one is not doing things these are very deep things to really grasp so we're going to go into this in more detail in another session and a quick recap is to trust that everything is good even if it doesn't seem to be so this foundational pre-step but also final step i mean it's going to be present throughout that there is benefit and benevolence in everything divine has my back life has my back i am supported i am held so that foundation and then we move into intention real intention you really do intend to be in a space of surrender and then the next step is to ensure and bring your mind into alignment your thoughts into alignment those beautiful thoughts i surrender to the highest good for all i let go i trust and to go then the third step and you may do these steps out of order it's this is a non-linear a non-linear experience we're talking about but we are giving you linear steps is that you go into the feeling experience release the weight take off that pressure valve put it in the hands of god allow that one to take it from you that total feeling of divine peace ah yes and then as needed you take the steps the actions and we really got to come to that feeling feeling of peace that comes from letting go true letting go leads to contentment and good feelings so you know because you're not stressing and forcing anymore you just say you know what i've let go so thank you so much for your beautiful presence thank you for your beautiful divine presence special special special love to insight timer
