wow Anna...
Right on! Yes, because I keep going round and round with that, how do you surrender when the phone bill is due today! You still have to head out the door and drive kids around and 'function' here so that is it...you are so awesome! It's not to react, or act but to not move either way into struggle or surrender like a thought in your meditation...observe it, figure out why it is there and in the timeless stillness it dissolves, it passes like a dream and you don't pulse emotion either way. It's always fascination to not engage in emotion when you feel it well up in your chest and you remain still and do nothing but observe it...it also has an amazing effect on those around you when they see you aren't running around the room caught up in the drama and they realize their folly.
thanks Anna, couldn't have explained it better and so eloquently!

I am about 40 days into the Qi Vesta ceremony practice. I find each card is a bit of a double edged sword. Not to be taken too literally. As in Ba Va Ru Vesta card 16 - Do Not React-Stay in Stillness is most directly an instruction to the mind. Meaning do not pursue thoughts but go into stillness - still the mind so that it may be a clear conduit for the dreams of the Infinite.
So the mind can be still and the body can go into the necessary action of automatic living.
Also Surrender does not necessarily mean lack of struggle. We may surrender to the infinite and as a result we may need to go into battle to work our way out of our current circumstances. This can of course be resolved in a peaceful manner also but it is not always necessarily so. Just as a new baby being born surrenders to the birth process and struggles a bit to get out of the womb and again struggles a bit for new breath after the umbilical cord is cut.
Before I read what everyone's posts say I will say that many of the days (not every single one) that I do surrender to the One Life, that very night have a dream, and when I awake I check out the symbols via Labyrinth of the Moon and it's always something about "build boundaries" or "boundaries need to be established" -_- SO confusing. If anybody knows what that could be about, please assist me
Because if I had just learned to surrender & put it into practice, why am I then being told to build boundaries?
"not fighting circumstances" as Anae said is how I surrender.
Maybe the efficient way to surrender is to truly live like a child.
