1 " Surrender does not mean to sit and do nothing; nor does surrender mean to give up or relinquish your power. Surrender means you relax into acceptance of where you are and what is happening around you. You let your body release the tension and angst of you trying to control the outcome of how you think things should be. It is letting go, and letting it be so that whatever the situation or circumstance is trying to reveal to you can be shown to you. "

They will make a continuous unyielding effort to get our attention. The opportunity that lies within crisis is, for you to be willing to look closely and identify the underlying patterns and message in what is happening around you. "
