Back to EpisodesWhy Surrendering and Letting Go Just Might Save Your Life
Description
I have had three near death experiences in my life. Whitewater rapids in Ontario. A riptide as a toddler. A frozen glove on a ski lift with my father. And in every single one of them the only thing that saved me was surrender.
That is where today's episode begins.
This is the tenth and final principle in the Yamas and Niyamas series and it is called Ishvara Pranidhana. It translates as surrender, or devotion to something greater than yourself. And it is not about giving up. It is about releasing your grip on the outcome and trusting that life knows something you do not.
In this episode we get into what surrender actually looks like in everyday life, the difference between contraction and expansion and how to recognize which one you are in, why savasana at the end of yoga class is one of the most important practices there is, the three stories from my own life where letting go was the only way through, and what Deborah Adele writes in The Yamas and Niyamas about melting into the stream instead of fighting the current.
