When we think of surrender, most of us think of giving up, giving away, of losing something we hold valuable. In this episode Pam and Hillary explore how the opposite is true; surrender can connect you to a source of love, wisdom, and power far greater than you have access to when you believe you are alone.

In this episode Hillary and Pam will explore:

• Who are we really being invited to surrender to?
• Surrender as an act of radical self-love
• Tools and tips on how to:
  • Gently scan the body to notice when you are feeling the need for control
  • Return to gratitude to centre ourselves
  • Use sacred teachings to anchor a regular practice in surrender
  • Compassionately ask “What if…” when we are struggling with how and when to use surrender to help us resolve our pain and challenges
