What will you surrender control of?

[Guest guest]

With the Kundalini comes a requirement of giving up control over many

of the personal decisions of your life. What " control " are you willing

to surrender right now this moment? - blessings chrism

My obstacle for surrender at the moment is the need for understanding

.. I feel more confused every day that i walk with kundalini . In a way

i guess i am receiving understanding and this making me confused with

the world as i knew it before . This is what i am working on to

surrender right now .

More and more I'm finding that I've let go of controlling

my life and moved more into a responding type of life to

whatever is happening. When doing is required its clear that

it happens through me and I really don't have to struggle

anymore with decisions. If I'm not sure about something I

let it go by and find that it really wasn't necessary anyway.

 

There is a Scripture that talks about entering into God's

Rest, where we rest from our labors. I don't feel like I'm

laboring anymore, just being available to whatever God wants

to do through or to me! Surrendering the ego life with its

planning and thinking about everything has opened up a much

freer way of living, more joy filled and real. Not to say

there aren't pains and trials, just that its not coming from

my ego anymore (not self created) but from a deeper flow of

life in and around me. As we've spoken of before, its turning

the steering wheel over to God or Shakti or whatever word you

want to fill in there.

 

Hope that makes sense, lol!

Love, dhyana

I used to be a worry wart and a control freak about my life. Now I find myself more and more willing to allow myself to be guided, even if the way is not what I had in mind. As I follow this inner direction, I find myself in the right places at the right times. Things happen in ways that I could never have dreamed up myself, which is why I am not in charge! LOL

The worrying about what I am to do with my self in regards to service

to others, the planning and thinking about what I am to do get to

where I want to go. The analyzing of past experiences. The desire to

know the " why " of situations and experiences. The thinking that I am

unworthy of the blessings in my life. --- In

Hi chrism…

 

My life has always been led on the path of moral and rules….dos

and donts and sin and guilt and fear….

Letting go of all these duality and just surrender to experience

the one-ness is wat I would do.

 

Though I have let go this morality and sin and guilt things to a

great extent… I feel its not a one moment process in me and I need to

give up lot more yet…I have just

Touched the tip of surrendering.

I would like to think that I am ready to let go of anything and

everything but I know that that is not true.

 

I am not ready to let go of my wife…should I be?

She is a major part of my life. We have built a life together

 

I am not ready to let go of my job…should I be?

It supports me and allows me to eat and live in my house etc.

 

I am not ready to let go of my house…should I be?

It keeps me warm and gives me a place to practice yoga and holds my

books etc

 

I am not ready to let go of my health…should I be?

Let go of my health!?!?!?...and live in pain??!!??!!

 

I am not ready to let go of my yoga practice…should I be?

I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS ONE…..

 

I am not ready to let go of my vitamins…should I be?

My nutrients keep my healthy… a healthy mind in a healthy body

 

I am not ready to let go of my so many things

 

 

I may have to let go of them and if I have to then I have to but I

don't really want to. I just hope that I can let go of what ever

comes up to be let go of

 

OHHHH,

I just reread the original post,

It said, what am I ready to surrender CONTROL of

Interesting that I read it wrong and wrote what I wrote.

I guess what I wrote is what is really on my mind...lol

Be ready to surrender everything and everyone. Not saying that

anything or anyone is lost or taken away. It is the act of

surrendering that is needed. The willingness to let the divine within

you take posession of all of you.

For me, I have pretty much surrendered everything in my life, although I am glad brought this up at this time. I had lived a fear-based life since a very young age, partly because of my nature and partly living in a household where I was the primary caretaker at an age that was much too young. Always waiting for the hammer to fall, as they say. Yoga, surrender, spirituality, and finally the awakening of the k in my body, had removed the fears that were not necessary for basic survival. I had been leading a life of peace, bliss, and contentment for quite some time now. Nothing had changed but my thinking. But thinking about the surrender aspect, I find that these perilous financial times have caused this insiduousness to creep back into my life, silenty sending out it's tendrils that were wrapping around me, beginning to

overtake my bliss, my happiness, by choking these feelings, and leading me into an area of grey that could eventually turn into blackness. So I feel I must surrender this fear, and test my beliefs and convictions about faithto be able to stay in the light. Easy when I could see my financial state increasing, but the real test of the metal comes in these times, as I must surrender. For once, I have no control. So, thank you Chrism, for bringing up this most important thread. Surrendering the fear is something I must do on an ongoing basis until I have removed the weed by it's roots.

 

For me, kundalini means the bridge to the Divine, my connection from the human to the spiritual, the passageway in my body that I can move into and be transported directly to the source.

 

Blessings to all the seekers and to those who have found.

The way in which it was stated, to me implied an immediate answer,

which I could not do without a long deliberation of what it was that

I wanted to change. I knew the answer to that question, as it was the

reason for joining this group. It was the way in which to answer it,

a way in which to reveal the awesome power of Kundalini without

making it seem fearful. It will change your life and reveal mysteries

of your wildest imagination. You have a choice to follow or surrender

to the world of man that surrounds you and anything that has the

ability to change your life so dynamically is an awesome power.

 

I had shunned fame, fortune, and family then over three decades ago I

made that choice, to be within the world of man. The idea of

ignorance is bliss filled me and to that end I was resolved. But this

isn't about why I made that decision but rather giving that mind set

up and surrendering to Kundalini.

 

What was looked up was the `Seven Deadly Sins' and how they applied

to the seven chakras. What I surrender is `Sloth' what was an

oppression of the will. A definition by wikipedia is:

Sloth (Latin, acedia)

Main article: Sloth (deadly sin)

More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed

considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly

sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It

had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what

modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression,

and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy

the goodness of God and the world God created. Originally, its place

was fulfilled by two other aspects, acedia and sadness. The former

described a spiritual apathy that affected the faithful by

discouraging them from their religious work. Sadness (tristitia in

Latin) described a feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, which

caused unhappiness with one's current situation. When Thomas Aquinas

selected acedia for his list, he described it as an " uneasiness of

the mind " , being a progenitor for lesser sins such as restlessness

and instability. Dante refined this definition further, describing

sloth as being the " failure to love God with all one's heart, all

one's mind and all one's soul. " He also described it as the middle

sin, and as such was the only sin characterized by an absence or

insufficiency of love. In his " Purgatorio " , the slothful penitents

were made to run continuously at top speed.

 

The modern view of the vice, as highlighted by its contrary virtue of

zeal or diligence, is that it represents the failure to utilize one's

talents and gifts. For example, a student who does not work beyond

what is required (and thus fails to achieve his or her full

potential) could be labeled slothful.

 

Current interpretations are therefore much less stringent and

comprehensive than they were in medieval times, and portray sloth as

being more simply a sin of laziness or indifference, of an

unwillingness to act, an unwillingness to care (rather than a failure

to love God and his works). For this reason sloth is now often seen

as being considerably less serious than the other sins, more a sin of

omission than of commission.

 

When searching for information on wikipedia associated with the seven

sins a word stood out to me " SALIGIA " , I knew that word or something

that sounded like it. It was the word for the Cherokee

people `Tsálagi' and the seven clans. An immediate rush of emotions

overcame me as a hyperbolic correlation between the `Trail of Tears'

and my own oppression of the kundalini will.

 

I'm not sure exactly what my point is except that of will or free

will. That most don't live up to their potential, that a lot have

moments of shame or guilt about things in their lives. That my life

isn't that much different than anyone else's, only that I woke up

earlier than some. That when you feel these moments of seemingly

unrelated emotional responses to a word, a song, the sight of that

something special that brings that overwhelming feeling of emotion.

You too may be overcoming those parts of the past that were not so

pleasant, or the moments that keep you bound and now you're moving

on. The power of the will is finding a way to come to the surface and

I know that I am not alone in the ups and downs in the path that I

have chosen.
