How liberation is in the surrender with Mina

I am going solo this time to talk about one of my favourite yogic principles: surrender.  I have learned to love this word and apply this principle to my life, which has not been without challenge given the fact it has such negative connotations in the West.  Because surrender is something we want to avoid at all costs, isn't it?  It means defeat, losing, weakness, giving in or up.

Not so!  Interestingly, in the yogic tradition that is thousands of years old, surrender is a good thing, in fact, it's a goal!  We should aspire to surrender because it sets us free.  And in this podcast I explain why.  I delve into the ancient yogic texts to discover the references of surrender and how/why we should practice it.  We have a look at:

Once we understand what surrender offers, we realise that actually it is a way of taking us out of the suffering.  Remember, pain is not a choice, but suffering is.  We have control of how to manage our own pain, whatever the trigger or event is.  So, the principle of surrender is our best friend, as described in the ancient texts.  Try it in your life just once and see!
