When the fight finally drops,
something unexpected happens.
Surrender is not passive collapse.
You can surrender to reality
and still work to change conditions.
Heading
The mind believes it can negotiate with life,
that if it strategizes hard enough,
thinks carefully enough, controls precisely enough,
it can avoid what it fears.
A kind of opening that was impossible
while you were still trying to
control the outcome.
But life doesn't negotiate.
What is, already is.
Notice where the effort lives in your body.
Not the problem itself, the effort of managing it.
The bracing. The holding.
Somewhere, the body is working very hard.
If there's something you've been
trying to manage or control,
the body may already know before the mind does.
Perhaps it's been carrying this quietly.
Feel your next exhale.
Notice that you don't decide to release it. It releases itself.
The breath doesn't surrender, it simply is surrender.
This is already happening in you.
"What if life doesn't need my help to happen?"
Sit with that as the Metatron gently guides your breath.
