The first step to surrender is to do nothing.

To let go to the point that you gain some measure of relief from your suffering, requires that you trust that in surrendering, you will not be taken advantage of.

Surrender is vulnerability, no protection or rather, protection through vulnerability.

Being vulnerable means to not resist, not react, not agree with and not align with the energetic blockages, barriers, tensions, unconsciousness and pains that you hold in your body. The limitations that you wish to be free of. None of these respond well to an opposing force, they all respond to allowance which is vulnerability.

The first step to surrender is to do nothing except stay conscious. Choose to be aware with all of your senses, of everything in and around you, without doing anything about any of it. Many things will then come to your awareness to demand you to move, to respond, to act in some way. Do nothing, but watch and allow everything to move and flow as it wishes. Without resisting or contributing to the motion whatsoever.

As you allow, with consciousness and awareness, things will start moving. They start moving because you are no longer stopping them with your resistance, reactions or identifications. The more you allow, the faster things move through you, until you are like a universal vacuum cleaner.

The more you open up, the more things move.
The more things move, the freer and more conscious you become.
The limits are up to you.

You create your limitations by shutting things down.
You remove them by quietly letting them go.
