Surrender to Stillness

It's all I've wanted to do
For days.

The words below are taken from this Article.

"Surrendering to the present moment 

is linked to how our perception of reality 

shapes our experience. 

“Of course you want everything to be quiet
around you; 

you don’t want to be disturbed,”
Eckhart explains. 

“But you need to incorporate
whatever happens 

into your meditation
and surrender to it. 

If there are children screaming outside, 

or drilling taking place on the street, 

you must reflect on why you are annoyed. 

Is it the noise or is it your reaction?
It’s your reaction. 

If you let go of your reaction
there’s just the noise, 

and your egoic self dissolves and 

the noise goes right through you. 

That’s called surrender.”

What does surrender feel like? 

“Surrender means letting go
and allowing what is natural,
instinctual, back into this moment,
but with awareness,” 

as Dorion says. 

“If we’re able to do that
without grasping at whatever is presented, 

then it will move on, 

and once the moving stops 

we will find stillness
waiting patiently for us.” 

Jonni concurs. 

“In this state,
reality is very dynamic and rich,
and we can transcend the thinking mind
to a place of awareness.”

Do you meditate?
