Ishavarapranidhana || Celebration of the Spiritual

Personal Definition: NEWS FLASH! You are responsible for creating meaning in your life. Life is not inherently meaningful. Don’t live your life too busy, too distracted, or too insensitive to notice whats going on around you. Attune yourself everyday to perceive a larger perspective whether that be through your religion, nature, or just self-growth.

Experience: The concept of surrender often times evokes a negative connotation- one of ultimate defeat as if surrender must attribute to giving up our power. Ishvarapranidhana is an absolute surrender in order to gain what Patanjali might refer to as the ultimate super power…giving up our frantic attempts to control and manipulate to cast a new framework for which our eyes can begin to see the larger world that exists. We neither can nor want to control every single thing that happens in this world. If we did, we would go crazy.

When we look at the world through this fresh lens, we readily notice what we are looking for instead of what we can control.

I’m working towards wisely training my brain where to put its focus and I feel empowered by my ability to experience the world in correspondence with this new state of mind coming into being. A letting go coupled with a sweet sweet surrender. WE’RE ALWAYS ON TIME.
