Power in Surrender - Lesson from My Mat
Something new happened during my Bikram yoga class last night. About 40 minutes in, I felt extremely nauseous and like I might pass out (this isn't the new part). Instead of fighting it, though -- my normal response ("you got this." "power through." "Bengal tiger strength.") This time, I surrendered to it. I surrendered to What Is. I am okay with whatever happens to me. As soon as I let go, let it all go, the feeling passed. And, I was okay--even at peace. Sometimes fighting-through is not the answer. Sometimes there is more power in your surrender.
