What does SURRENDER mean?

Some of the definitions of surrender include:

To give oneself up into the power of another

To give up in favor of another.

To relinquish possession or control of to another because of demand or compulsion.

In Spiritual Practice we talk about surrendering. I have lived this way for many years and surrender feels GOOD. But how do we do it? I mean what is the act of surrendering. Well, first you gotta know what you are surrendering to, I believe. If you were to surrender all of your worries, concerns, cares, health, wealth and wellness, what would you be surrendering to? When we can't figure things out, we are ready to "relinquish control...because of demand or compulsion" but to what?

Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
This week lets contemplate the 'power of another'. Spend time daily in conversation or reflection with yourself or another about what am I surrendering to anyway? Do I trust the the 'power of another" is loving, generous, kind, creative, abundant? Do I know that "another" wants only for me to experience these qualities? Hmmmmm........

Peace and love,
