Surrender to the Flowing Ocean of Life

Why is it that when we are young, we don’t even think about trust? Perhaps it’s because trust occurs like a flowing ocean with no beginning and no end, and it’s so easy to love and trust.

And then the strangest thing happens in a blink of an eye, we turn around and trust is gone, gone like the wind. What happened, where did trust go? Did trust just suddenly get up one day and say, “I’ve had enough of this, I’m leaving”? Somehow I don’t think anyone of us believes that. We have to take responsibility for chasing trust away. We just let it go, we didn’t even say a word.

We carry on with our lives as if it doesn’t matter. It matters that trust leaves us. Our worlds become forever altered. The cost is that we walk around, so protected and guarded, we create these impenetrable walls around us that no one can get through. We think that because we don’t have security surveillance cameras outside our houses we are willing to trust people. Is that really true? Let’s be honest with ourselves.

What’s worse is that as human beings we carry around emotional surveillance cameras, and they play day and night. We’re addicted to the press, record and playback buttons. We’re so hooked on being in that distrusting zone that it’s almost as if we can’t get enough of it. We have to be honest with ourselves and ask whether we want ourselves and others to really win in life, because if we did, wouldn’t we truly let the detectors go?

It’s time to fully let go of this chip on our shoulder. We have to be able to surrender and overcome our distrusting nature once and for all. To do that you can visualize the distrusting part of you falling into the water or into the darkness, letting it go. Sometimes we reach a point where the best thing is to start from scratch, perhaps through rituals. This distinguishes the new energy of who we are now and who we stand for in life. The anchor allows us to experience a whole new realm and will set us on a path to true freedom.

It’s clear that we can no longer operate, thinking that we can still do without trust. The truth of the matter is, our world will never be the same without it. Trusting is like breathing, it gives us wings to fly, it gives us freedom beyond freedom. It gives us back our womanhood, our manhood. We are able to let go, relax and just be ourselves again. Whenever you forget the importance of trust and trusting in what life has to offer, allow yourself to curl up in a ball on the floor and practice rolling gently. You’ll see very quickly how grounded, relaxed and anchored life occurs then.

Let life take you by storm and cradle you in its warm embrace, because in doing so, you have completely surrendered to who you are.
