Eckhart Tolle describes surrender as an intelligent act, as the profound wisdom of saying yes to what it is. It is something that would seem obvious: what it is, is the only thing that exists in each moment; However, we are used to resist what is and what is.

When we resist anything that is happening, we remain totally unaware that what we are resisting is essentially Life itself.

To say no to Life is to say no to the Present. By resisting and saying no, we are fleeing from the Present.
To say yes, to surrender, is to welcome the Present; We can corroborate it because we feel it in the body. In fact, when we give up, we immediately perceive that we feel more present, we are even more alive, lighter.

When we say yes, when we accept what is as it is, and allow it to be, we do not oppose resistance to Life; in this way we no longer depend on events, it is no longer relevant that they go well or go wrong.

There is no need or dependence on any memory, we have no need for the past and the past has no power over us.

We are in a state of grace, we are more alive; instead of clinging to the forms and remaining contained within their world, we access their power, that which gives them courage, Life itself, so we feel in us the fullness of the Presence.

Try practicing surrender during your daily journey. Experience surrendering internally.
