As you release the weight of what you&#8217;ve been carrying, you create space for new energy, fresh perspectives, unexpected solutions, and greater expansiveness to enter your life. Take a few quiet moments to reflect on the words that follow, and notice what they awaken within you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Stillness Project, Guidepost 8, Adrienne Gervais &amp; Liz Kametz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve spent time shifting energy and implementing new healing habits, you may notice echoes of old patterns still coming through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrender is getting out of your own way. Surrender is giving in to the shift that&#8217;s going to happen. First, you have to acknowledge that you\u2019re ready to allow yourself to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surrender can be when you\u2019ve tried to solve it yourself and have gone through the emotions, but there&#8217;s still a depth of resistance to admit, <em>\u201cI let go to you. I need your help.\u201d <\/em>This is all to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may get trapped in the loop of overthinking and want to be in control of how it feels and what we do to solve a problem. But in reality, when you surrender and allow, you are acknowledging that you&#8217;ve done the best that you can. It&#8217;s time. It&#8217;s time to relinquish control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s where there&#8217;s a paradox: We are guiding you to go so deep within, but at that moment of such inner reflection, you release it. It\u2019s as if you reach your arms up to the sky and say, <em>\u201cTake this!\u201d<\/em> You&#8217;ve done so much to go within, and now it\u2019s time to connect to the oneness of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always remember that you are safe. You are loved. You are held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take time to write statements that you wish to release, to surrender, and be free of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are co-founders &amp; authors of <em>Just Be The Journey<\/em>, sharing our wisdom of the heart.
