How do one surrender and accept whatever life throws at them?

[Inder]

Hello everyone,

I being hearing leo saying totally surrender and accept to the reality is only way to unconditional happiness, confusion arises when we just don't really know how to do that, do we have to repeat the affirmation like " I totally surrender and accept" or just observe our thoughts and emotions and accept them as it's. Or any form of spiritual practice. 

2. Question does affirmation and visualisation (law of attraction) has any use when you become more conscious and accept reality as its.?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Sedona Method is a great book for learning about letting go, it explains this in depth. Also check out "Loving what is" by Byron Katie

The key in surrendering is wanting no benefit from the surrendering process as this could be another trick to "to get you where you want". Thats the only way to be open to whatever comes. Its the realization actually that this openness is already here and always has been here.

Inspect & discover the conditions that are already in place. Deconstruct / unveil, via intelligence, is an action of surrender. Even holding reality as something separate which can be surrendered to, can be scrutinized / seen through. The conditions are readily ‘spotted’ in noticing when we label feeling anything “bad”...”anxiety, tension, stress, guilt, shame, anxiousness, frustration, anger, etc”. Instead of labeling feeling with these ‘bad names’, let thought go and feel into the message, the truth of the feeling. Work the thought / feeling up the emotional scale, and the perspective / understanding clears in kind, and the condition is readily seen through. In ‘reconnecting’ with feeling, It’s proper place makes sense of everything, the guidance / compass / gps of it becomes known, the ‘world is anew’.

Seeing reality as it is = fully aware you are it & creating it. When ‘you’ ‘become’ conscious enough you realize one can not ‘accept reality as it is’, as that subtle condition implies you are a separate self (separate of reality). Consider in a sense that you are, “view” wise... ‘at the middle’... so there is ‘inward’ inspection / path to Absolute Self...and ’outward’  expression of Self, creation / creating - apply affirmation & visualization in this outward oriented way. Begin to see the “inner”, the “middle”, and the “outward” are all connected, all one, already playing on an apparent cosmic scale.

When “life throws something at you”...be swift and on purpose to spot “what you do not want”...and flip it to “what you now know you do want” and write that on your dream board, and it is coming. Begin to see “the contrast” of life, as the most precious gift. Without it, you’d not be able to create, in this “choose your own adventure”, if you will. Notice, this is the actuality of the present here now, in this question & answer itself.
