Supporting Non-Duality and Awakening in Asheville and Beyond

Surrender is an integral part of the inner journey of uncovering authenticity.

Surrender is learning to consciously discern and choose what needs to be released, in order for something new to grow.

The terms and conditions connected to inner surrender are love, truth and integrity.

Surrender releases aspects of you that you have judged insufficient and/or guilty. Surrender releases the you held prisoner, pardons your sins, provides unlimited redemption to re-start life, with fresh, informed beginnings. Surrender is always navigated from self to Self.

Surrender is the sacred process of unclenching from that which no longer serves you. It is the letting go of securities which are constricting inner growth.

Once surrendered, a great burden is lifted.

In surrender, you allow and encourage an aspect of your limiting belief structure to collapse.

In surrender, your heart warms and enlarges. Your world as you know it bursts at the seams.

Surrender is gained through an intimate awareness with your conditional attachments to love, and willfully choosing to break these attachments, allowing your self to fall into the unknown abyss.

Surrender is often accompanied by the presence of humility, which assists to wash clean and sterilize the prison cell, where the poison of long-held arrogance has festered.

Surrender calls upon the angel of death to carry away and recycle the old dead skins, the personally identified “me and my story” that has sloughed away.

Surrender can be inwardly confrontational, especially when letting go of an addiction, or old pattern keeping you shackled to conditions that deprive you of loving yourself.

Surrender is the advance guard, always sniffing and on the lookout for inner resistance.

Surrender is placing the heart at the center stage in your life, and letting the heart orchestrate and purify your intentions.

I surrender 2009 and open myself, wide open, to whatever is to come my way in 2010.
