Surrender Your Desires

To do this, I have written up a simple, but effective, practice that allows you to easily surrender your desires to the Imagination, while experiencing and engaging with your infinite creative abilities.

In engaging with this practice, you will not only find it easy to surrender that which you desire to the greater forces housed within, but you will also step into a greater awareness of who you truly are.

To Surrender Your Desires

To surrender your desires, you must first know what you desire. When you know what it is that you desire, and when you understand what the fulfillment of that desire will make you feel, you can begin the next stage of this process.

When you know what it is that you desire, you must step into the feeling of that desire having been fulfilled. On this Medium blog, you will find a variety of essays on doing just that. The exact method of feeling it real is unimportant, but what is important is that you take the time to envelop yourself in the feelings that come from the wish fulfilled. In doing that, you plant the seed of your desire’s fulfillment, and allow that seed to sprout into your life.

As the seed of your desire has been planted upon the infinite soil of Imagination, you can now rest. Perhaps, you will dive, once more, into feeling the state of your wish fulfilled; perhaps you won’t. It doesn’t matter if you do or don’t, because when you feel the state of your wish fulfilled, your work is done.

Since your work is done, all you must do is allow that which needs to happen, to happen. Your desire has already fulfilled itself, and your day-to-day experience will fall into alignment with that desire, if you allow it to do so.

To allow for such a thing to happen, you must make a choice. This choice is the crux of this practice, and while it may appear to be utterly simplistic, this choice ignites the infinite creative powers within you, and allows for that which you desire to come to life.

The choice that you must make, is that of accepting who you truly are, the gifts and abilities that you possess, and the fact that you are the director of your experience. In accepting who you truly are, you will have no choice but to surrender, for you will understand that you are larger than any concept of what your destiny is, or is not, and that you are the sculptor of your destiny and yourself.

To surrender, means to surrender to who you truly are — not a victim or a pawn of outside forces; a creator — and in surrendering, you accept who you truly are and allow the endless creative powers housed within you to be used in the manner that you require.

Surrendering Can Be A Challenge

In my own experience, the process of accepting who I truly am and surrendering can be challenging. This isn’t because the process is, in itself, challenging or complicated but, rather, that it contradicts much of what we are taught to believe about who we are and the lives that we lead.

Many of us — and, as mentioned earlier, I am speaking of myself, primarily — are bound to habitual thoughts and feelings that deny our endless creativity and the powers that we possess. In our perceived confinement to such patterns, we operate from the assumption that they are universal truths.

Of course, such a thing is far from the truth. Our habitual thoughts and feelings are just that — thoughts and feelings that we have looped over and over. Habitual thoughts and feelings can be transformed with ease, if a commitment is made to invest in new habitual thoughts and feelings.

What I ask of you, dear reader, is to simply “try” this new method thinking and feeling. It may be uncomfortable to you, at first — it was for me and it still is — but if you continue to persist with it, to see where it takes you, and to notice the transformations that take place both within you and outside of you, I know that you will be pleased.

Conclusion:
