Surrender to the Flow

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
― Eckhart Tolle

How do you follow a quote like that?! It puts the concept of SURRENDER in perspective so well. Think about how much time is spent resisting what “is” instead of moving forward to what “can be.” This month, we will contemplate the scary, crazy, wildly exciting idea of surrender. Here are some prompts to get the discussion started.

Powerful Questions:

  •  How is surrendering different from giving up? What do you still hold onto when you surrender?

  • In what ways can surrendering be scary? Freeing? Fulfilling?

  • What are the next step after surrendering?

Questions presented by Eileen Seiler, RYT & Writer for Nourishing Storm. Eileen is a writer and teacher at Nourishing Storm. You can catch her Breathe class Tuesdays at 7:45pm and Brewing Storm class Fridays at 9:30 am.

We meet monthly to discuss these questions and the theme as a whole. Join us for our next meeting Sunday, August 14th at 10am at swiig Juice Bar & Cafe, right next door to Nourishing Storm Yoga Studio.
