And despair comes to every human being but it's a temporary state especially if we understand that it is just one step away from your soul energy that can help you solve things.

This it's like an inner step an inner step inside yourself where you go okay I just don't know how to handle this I give up I just I don't think this situation is manageable at all and when we do that which is surrender which I know Westerners don't always like that name and they prefer acceptance but when we do this when we kind of just cry uncle then the soul has room to come in and help us to solve the problem and then that brings us into the feeling of acceptance just accepting the situation and when we do that we stop fighting which is the key because whatever we're fighting will get bigger so as soon as we at least surrender and stop fighting we move into acceptance and then the soul has room to solve it for us and that's what happens gradually you know the solutions to our trouble get woven into our life in a seemingly ordinary way but it's our souls behind it and sometimes you know even without the experience of a conscious surrender we are surrendering really underneath and the situation will just change so please you know despair so uncomfortable and the storyline can be so persuasive and the the feelings in our body are so uncomfortable with it but if you just know that it's temporary it's not true and all you have to do is give over just understand that there is an eternal energy within you that has been waiting for you to ask it to solve this problem and it will over and over again that's my experience okay bless your hearts

Interesting! Very thought provoking. I will see where the journey leads. Happy to have the reminder of what I am clearly resisting!

I surrender to the "why me" today. I'll take the emphasis off of trying to heal, and act as if I am already. What we think about expands. This, too, shall pass, and I'll be that much more at peace.

Surrendering is magical. When there's a knowing inside me, and I've experienced the opposite. I embrace that opposite whether with people or my mind, with a lot of love. I wait until I physically see it and feel it. The more I do this, the more it goes away. Anything disruptive, or fearful o angry, I stop and love! I'm loving me! And I sit, and relax and bring calmness to my body, soul and Mind. It truly feels magical❤️‍🩹

Thank you, I needed to hear this today - and to be able to surrender and trust that i don’t need to solve and fix it today.

Thank you sooo much for that reminder: 1. Despair is temporary 2. There is a solution 3. It comes after surrender, and yielding to that soul journey. (For myself personally I need to include God as the one I turn to)

Your wisdom and kindness and perspective have helped me so much, one day soon I hope I will be able to purchase one of your books 📚I am healing generational trauma; an ongoing process for me that sometimes feels liberating and other times feels like my despair will never loosen it’s grip on me. Your gentle voice and kindness and the way to distill everything down into easy terms yo understand…you have saved me in so many ways. Today was particularly heavy, but now I feel lighter. I love you so much ❤️🙏🌱thank you for all you do for us 🕊️🪷

A lovely talk but poor sound quality. However it didn't take away from the message. Thank you

Yes, allowing the soul to step in and solve the problem! I was trying to share an example of this with a younger friend and she saw it as giving in to the patriarchy, but I am ready to be seamless in solving my problems instead of exhausting trying to survive.

Ok. I give it over. Gratefully awaiting the answer! Bless you.💗

If this doesn’t sum up my life, I don’t know what will. “Stop fighting”! The word surrender doesn’t bother me because I know how peaceful it feels at the end of the day to lay down all my burdens and cares and give in to all that just is and give it over to God. I’m minding my business more these days by trying to just be. No more time for rigidity and ridicule of others. It just is what it is and I just am here to learn and observe. That’s completely different to what my ego wants to do. But acknowledging that has been truly helpful also. The mind is like managing a child’s expectations sometimes. Lol Thank you for the talk! 🙏🏾💕🌸

This talk has helped me a lot to more fully understand what surrender and acceptance really means. When I first heard it on your YouTube channel, Wisdom and The Feminine Spirit, it took me a few times listening, but then something clicked at a time I really was in despair and needed it. Listening to this talk on Insight Timer reminded me of how there’s something so much more love powerfully bigger than us running the show here on Earth. It is glorious. The flow I felt today also reminded me of how letting the love in by surrendering makes life one of ease rather than fighting tooth and nail for everything ❤️ as always Thank You 🙏💕 blessings, love and have a wonderful trip to India!
