      Are you stuck somewhere on your path? Time to surrender. Screw what Corey Hart said. "Never Surrender." If you want to stay in chains, then take his sorry 80's cheese advice. I am here to tell you that SURRENDER is the key to your freedom.

      You have to surrender on the yoga mat. If you don't, then you would leave the yoga room after the first 5 minutes. "Screw you yoga -I'm goin home:(" (Big baby!)

      Practicing Yoga is like getting unstuck within yourself. In yoga you surrender a little bit every time you step on that mat.

      So what about off the yoga mat?

      If you keep living in the past, you will be stuck. SURRENDER into the NOW. Let go of the drama and stuff holding you back from yesterday.

      Are you an "A" type personality? Agressive, ambitious, always going for what you want and tearing down everything in your path to get there? Well, then this surrender thing will be very hard for you to grasp.

      In your head, you think I am talking about somehting weak, or something passive. Something you have no interest in. Especially in todays world. It's always go go go, get get get. Stress stress stress.

      Do you even realize how you come across? All wound up and no place to go.

      You need yoga the most.

      You need surrender the most.

      Surrender is for the strong willed. Surrender is for the spiritually evolved. The spiritually mature.

      Surrender means letting go, and moving on. Then growing again.

      Surrender is a relief that you can let go what is really not important, and you will be stronger as a result.

      Surrender is realizing that you can't win em all, and you don't want to anyway. Surrender is taking that chip off your shoulder and rebuilding your beliefs and values.

      Surrender is taking a step back and realizing that the more you let go of control, the more you release that tight fist of yours, the more room and space you will have for love to enter. (Open your hand)

      Surrender is looking at a bump in the road and knowing it is there to make you stronger, and soften your winced up scrunched up face.

      Surrender is finding gratitude for everything - even the things that you once saw as "failure" or "mistakes" No such thing my A type shriveled up soul.

      Surrender is knowing every single thing and person is there as your teacher for you to learn and move on and grow and live and love and become all soul, man.

      Surrender and listen to your soul breathe sweet air. It's not strangled anymore.

      Oh yeah.

      Peace
      Andrea
