What does it look like to co-create with the Universe by surrendering to spiritual guidance?
Surrendering to the natural process of co-creating with the universe is easier said than done. This surrendering thing puts us control freaks on edge, right? Who are we surrendering to? It seems, at times, that it is easier to give it up to a real person and hope for the best.
It is helpful for me to remember that I am a spiritual being having a human experience in a physical body, rather than a physical being having a spiritual experience. If I am a physical being, I will look in the physical world around me to create my life. But if I realize I am first a spiritual being, I will go inside and connect to my higher self for my answers.
Many of us have been taught from a very young age that our safety lies in a physical being, such as our parents. If we have been raised with any type of religion, we may have learned to have faith in God or another spiritual being, I, personally, was not raised with any religion or spirituality, and therefore, connecting to a source greater than myself or others has been difficult for me.
In my daily practice, I connect to the universe, my spirit guides, and my higher self to bond with my knowing. The process that I use and teach brings everything back into myself and my higher knowing, away from the physical outside world. I practice working on not projecting my feelings and emotions onto others, and knowing that all experiences help my higher learning evolve.
It takes a great deal of surrendering to either the universe or my higher knowing to stop trying to control things and people to get the outcome that I believe is the best one for myself. When I surrender to something greater than my physical self and allow things to unfold with grace, it’s always for my higher learning.
Although things might not always work out the way I think they should, it’s in my best interest to be in the flow instead of constantly pushing up against life with resistance. My inner child doesn’t like this way of being at all. She actually believes she has total control over everyone and everything. When I say this out loud, I hear a little chuckle from my higher self.
It’s our job to make sure that our spiritual guidance is coming from our higher self and not from our wounded little child. If you haven’t had training in this area, this could be pretty tough. We all need mentors to see our blind spots.
If you want to live in your higher self and have your spiritual guidance come from a greater place of surrender, it may take the help of a spiritual mentor.
