Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have been pondering this one for the last 2 days in what I need to surrender. It's 2 parted for me. a) Surrender the attempts to control my path. I think for me that it's all of my preconceived notions on what things should be or how they should go. To no longer try to control things, just allow spirit and the divine to show me what THEY and my higher self have intended/contracted for me to be in this lifetime. I have what I need and I am not in fear of the growing pains. b) Surrender the fear of being found out. I am in fear of being ridiculed for my belief system and trust me, I have been exposed by those that do not agree with my areas of study; staked and burned in the last 8 months by all that I trusted to the point I trust no one anymore. What was the lesson to be learned in this? That either I stand up for what I believe, stuff it and hide it and never truly experience it at it's fullest. I have allowed things to cool off and am slowly re-integrating my studies, trying to be more open about them to prevent the fear based reactions of the family. They do not understand Shamanism or any of what we know intuitively to be true in this group for example. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Michelle I can really relate to the problems of being found out; my children wonder why I am so protective of my computer these days. My friends know and are supportive but my family would certainly freak out and my X husband would try to take my son I am sure. It has been very reasuring to find some like minded people in my community. I found them through yoga and Qigong classes,Unity church, Unitarian church, Reiki share group etc. Hope you can find some people around you that get it, it helps me to not feel so crazy even if they don't understand all that I am going through. I am totally surrendered to the whole process and open to everything. I demonstrate that by meditating, doing the safeties and tibetans, and letting K have free reign. I can't wholly open to my family yet, they get bite size pieces. It is actually nice to see them notice some positive differences in me, and I just let it be. I am glad Iona was able to help you.
