<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My life
truly is the journey of my soul; its journey of self recognition. As I move
forward in life, I naturally gain wisdom through my experiences. The wisdom is
about me, my power. It is my knowledge of how to deal with my life, my
situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The soul is
eternal and the journey forever. The process of self recognition, therefore,
goes on forever. So, I am and always will be presented with situations that
will bring new wisdom my way. The situations will seem challenging as I have
yet to imbibe new wisdom through them. However, since they are only a
presentation of my energies, they will always be presenting before me the
wisdom I have imbibed, too. If only I would remember this fact and allow myself
awareness of my power through my situations, I would be guided to effortlessly
sailing through the challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My conscious
mind was a clean slate when I was born in the current lifetime. It helps me
recognize the being that I am through understanding the situation I am
presented with in each moment. It helps me witness as my wisdom (presented
through the support I have in the form of material possessions and the people I
am associated with) surfaces in each situation to deal with it and bring me new
wisdom. It helps me witness and recognize the new me in each new moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When a
situation presents before me a challenge, I use my conscious mind to reject it.
Refusing to accept it never changed it. It cannot, because it’s simply a
presentation of what I inherently (at the soul level) am. Not accepting it and
not recognizing my non-acceptance of the situation gives rise to ‘fear’ in me.
When the conscious mind picks up the fear, I lose my alignment with the wisdom
part of me. I assume consequences of the situation through my fear and do
things to evade them but nothing seems to take me away from the fear. In fact,
in this process, I actually start living the experience of the assumed
consequence I am trying to evade.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All I need to do at such a time is to recognize that my fear
is imaginary. The situation that exists is my reality but my perceptions about
it are limited. This very situation will lead me to my liberation if I would
accept that it is my truth of the current moment. If I would choose faith in my
connection with the divine over my fear, I would instantly be aligned with the
divine operating through me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We restrict our own vision. The current moment
is never closed. If only we would recognise and come out of our shock and panic, we would be able to bring our focus to what the current moment shows us. Accepting the current reality is the only way to discover the opportunity it camouflages.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The best contribution that we can ever make to the
universe is our own growth. As we grow, so does the Creator who evolves through
us, and hence everyone around us who is also a part of the same Creator.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are innumerable things and
people around us that have contributed to our growth. It sometimes might take a
bit of conscious pondering to realise it. When we see ourselves progressing in
a certain direction, what are the steps we take to go further in that
direction? What are the choices we make so that we can make the most out of the
opportunities presented before us? What is the contribution we make to that opportunity/person who is offering us growth, so that their contribution in our growth naturally improves?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">One option is to judge the
opportunity to be not good enough or the one through whom we are receiving
support, to be not doing enough. Blaming what others are not doing that they should for our growth, is covering up for our lack of belief in our capability.This could be a comfortable choice and we
could rest assured, it will only bring our way stagnation if not our
deterioration. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another option could be to see
what within us restricts us from getting out of the opportunity what it seems
to promise? Working at that will certainly bring about our growth as we clear
our own inner blocks. Besides, what our growth brings about as an outcome will
pave the way for many around us, who, in turn, go on to make similar
contributions through their own growth. </span></span></div>

We know that everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Every person we meet, every situation we encounter, every word we speak or is spoken to us has something to teach us. Nothing is a coincidence. But inspite of having this knowledge, it is not the first thing that comes to our mind whenever we are in any kind of situation that confuses us. So, taking this point forward, I would like to apply it to our perception of the ‘dark’ in us. <br />
<br />
Whether it is in healings or during daily life, we often come across the ‘dark’ in us. And when we even just read or hear the phrase ‘the dark in us’, its catches our attention and sometimes even causes us discomfort. I feel this is because we misunderstood the dark in us. What exactly is the dark in us? It is any negativity that we carry or any aspect of ourselves that we don’t like or are uncomfortable with. It ranges from the smallest moment of anger, fear, hurt, etc. to the greatest (so called) wrong-doing. Hence broadly speaking, it is that part of us which we judged to be wrong, that part we got misaligned from. But the dark was never meant to harm us. It only came into being in the first place because it had something to teach us. It was never any external force or power that was out of our control and had set out to harm us. Of course, nothing but we can harm ourselves. And that is what we do by fearing the dark. It exists only to contribute to our evolution, to teach us things we have to learn so that we can come to the awareness of experiencing being Creator. The more we judge ourselves for carrying darkness, the more we prolong our journey to experience being the Creator. Instead, we can accept the dark as a part of our beings that is present only to help us be more and more aware of the moment, thus helping us get to our final destination. We can choose to see the divinity in the dark; and the divinity it is helping us realise, uncover and be. We can choose to see it as escorting us to Creator rather than keeping us from Him. <br />
<br />
We cannot escape the dark in us, we can only accept it. The more we try to run away from aspects of ourselves that we don’t like, the more we actually enlarge them. Besides, there is no reason to run away at all. Listen to what the dark in you is telling you, for it is nothing but the divinity in you speaking. Afterall, the two are not separate. It is our judgement that makes it seem the other way round. <br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Relationships
always bring challenges in their own way - be it with spouse, children, parents,
siblings, friends or in-laws. At a certain point of time any relationship might
show us the mirror, making us crazy enough to wish if only we had chosen
another spouse, another sibling, another couple as parents or in-laws. How we
wish to replace everything and everyone around us, chasing an ideal situation
in our mind in which we crave for. Why did he/she become a part of my life? Everything
was perfect when he/she was not there...I wish I had never chosen him/her...if
only he/she had followed my advice...he/she is to be blamed for crumbling up my
life...it goes on! It feels so good! It empowers the ego. It justifies our
point that we were never wrong and it is this one person who made our life
upside down. Wow!! Blaming gives so much of relief!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br />
Has our ballooned ego ever allowed us to see the purpose of that relationship? Have
we ever looked at a relationship as a story whose moral we still haven't
understood? Why do we exist together? Why do relationships exist? If it’s our
journey, why did we need so many people around us? Why can't we be alone and
enjoy all the abundance the way we want? Each relation, each person around us
only shows us what we refused to accept in our own selves. We are involved in
each other's growth. We are assisting each other each moment, helping our whole
evolve bit by bit. The conscious awareness is now drifting towards oneness. We
find it more difficult to ignore the ones who bring challenges in our journey. Our
inner voice drags our mind to the same person or incident so that the moral is
found and the lesson imbibed.<br />
How can we forgive them? How can we forget what they said or did? If we get
entangled in the incidents and words, we can never get wary of blaming and
criticizing them. What the relationship is showing us is what we refuse to accept
within.<br />
<br />
Why is my spouse not loving and caring? My friend's husband takes her out for
dinners and holidays, she lives like a celebrity...My husband should learn from
him...<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
Do we love ourselves? Do we appreciate ourselves enough? How many times do we
regret our choices and judge ourselves of being less than the other?<br />
<br />
<br />
My children never listen to me. My teen has started back-answering me. My
toddler just doesn't follow my instructions. My child behaves weird in front of
others. My adolescent is showing mood swings...<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
Are we imposing ourselves on our children? Are we trying to fulfil what we lack
through them? Are we trying to live our dreams through them? Are we trying to
make their life easy because we learnt the hard way or vice versa? Are we
controlling them much to suffocate their energies? Are we depriving them of
their freedom? Do we really know why we do what we do as a parent? BEWARE-what
we convey becomes their inner voice. They follow and imitate us.<br />
<br />
My parents love my sibling more. I am the elder one, I should be respected. I
am responsible for my sibling in absence of my parents so I must control him or
stop him from going wrong....And, if I am the younger one, I'm always treated
like a child. My elder bro/sister is treated as the more responsible one. I am
never loved and my parents are biased...<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
How many times in a day do we judge ourselves? Do we feel the need to prove
ourselves better in order to attract attention? Are we comparing ourselves with
others? Do we believe we are less than others?<br />
<br />
<br />
My in-laws are weird. I was never conditioned to live in such an environment. My
life has been different. I deserve more joy more abundance more growth and much
love and acceptance. They never valued me. They never understood me!<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
Do we understand our true being? Are we adaptable to changes? How many of us
can easily come out of our comfort zone and be ready to accept whatever comes
our way in order to allow the magic to flow into our being? Have we defined a
limit for ourselves? Are we open to receiving? How often do we define our ideal
situation?<br />
<br />
My daughter-in-law is so insecure. She is trying to mould everything her way. She
is instigating my son against me. She is trying to defame me. She never values
my love. She is trying to control my house.<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
How do we define our identity? Is managing my house my identity? Is she taking
away 'my' son from me? Have I received love only through my children? Has my
son been the pillar of my strength? Do I fear losing love/abundance/my identity
to her? Have I accepted myself unconditionally? Am I trying to stop love from
coming to me? Does love make me weak?<br />
<br />
My sister-in-law doesn't leave space for me. I am not accepted in this family
because of her interference and presence. She took away my love. She doesn't
let me receive love of my parents-in-law. She is an obstruction. She is
hopeless, and has nothing to do other than gossiping and spreading ill about
me.<br />
<br />
Points to ponder:<br />
Do we see the deep seated guilt of holding on to love, trying to possess it
whenever we received it, obstructing the flow of love? Do we feel guilty of
landing up in a space which was never ours since childhood and suddenly
becoming the priority for our spouse, side-lining all other relationships
he/she had? Are we insecure of the fact that the family we believed to be ours
has abruptly disowned us, tied us to a stranger and suddenly our emotional,
spiritual and mental being is lost? Have we ridiculed our being? Has the fear
of disconnecting from our roots crept into our core?<br />
<br />
Every relationship is trying to pull our attention within. Our reality is our
thought projection. Each soul who is attracted by us is helping us fly higher.
Every soul is an angel bringing back the part of us we lost when we deviated
from our essence. Each soul is making us complete. Each one is filled with love
& brimming us with love too. Love inevitably comes to us through everything
around us. Love is our core. We can never deny it. It is only when we distort
the flow of love that we experience negativities in different forms through
different sources. Each one of us is love. Everything around us is love. Love
nurtures. Love helps growth. Love is abundant. Love is abundance....and so am I! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">In our everyday lives it is
very important to be able to handle our emotions in a way that we can have
balanced relationships with people around us, whether it is at home or at work.
This can happen if we are always observant of our emotions. Instead of getting
involved in our emotions, if we are aware of them and are able to observe them
objectively, we can immediately centre ourselves and deal with the situation
objectively. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">This happens when we have
been trained to stay in alignment with the Supreme energy, ie. the Creator’s
energy. All of us are one with the Creator but to be able to remember it even
in disturbing times helps us cope with the disturbances so that they pass
without disturbing us. To be able to remember this even when dealing with
people with whom we have differences is a technique which we have to
understand, imbibe and practice. This is what we learn in Serenity Surrender
workshops. Here we understand in the true sense that nobody really ever means
to hurt us just the way we don’t ever want to hurt anybody. It is only because
of our own karma that we understand others the way we do. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Blaming others and getting
angry with others takes us nowhere. If we continue on this path, we only
increase the negativity in us. Sometimes even if want to forgive others, we are
not able to. Why does this happen? This happens because the root of that
particular negative emotion is deep in us. To be able to forgive others, we
first need to forgive ourselves. This process, sometimes, becomes painfully
slow on the conscious level. But with the help of SS, it can be
quickened. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">It is interesting to know
that in order to understand others, first, we should understand ourselves
because what we see in others is actually what we are carrying in us. In our
everyday interactions with others, many times we tend to judge others or even
ourselves. This comes from the lack of self-acceptance and acceptance of
others. Interestingly, acceptance of others comes to us naturally if we accept
ourselves completely and unconditionally. Do we really accept ourselves? <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Life would be so simple and
effortless if could handle our anger, hurt, regret, guilt and many such
emotions! Sometimes we get so muddled in all such emotions that we go on
attracting more and more of them and there seems no end to the situations they
bring in our lives. But thanks to Serenity Surrender that we now know how
effortless and blissful life can be. We now know how to actually live every
moment of our lives! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">SS helps us know ourselves better which in turn helps us know people
better. It empowers us to make our lives better and also make this world a
better place! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">

years ago, when I was in a lot of mess, my friend introduced me to Shivi and Serenity
Surrender (SS). I was expecting to meet a counsellor, so when she started her healing
session, being unprepared for it, I started doubting its efficacy. I just
couldn't comprehend what was happening. But what I experienced in the following
months was unbelievable. I had so much mental clarity, because of which, I was
doing all the things that I always wanted to do. I was showered with so many
opportunities from so many places. It was simply magical. Of course I did not
know it then, that my altered beliefs were attracting the good things into my
life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">

time passed, I was back to my old self again and was wondering how I could
experience that bliss again. There was also this one issue, that was really
bothering me and I could find no way out of it. I prayed to God to help me.
Within 15 minutes my friend called, and informed me that we were going to have
a basic workshop in Pune in April 2011. I couldn't believe it. SS was the
answer to my prayer!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

has made possible, all the things that I always dreamt of doing. It has also
made possible, things which I never thought I would do. At the same time SS has
helped me to know what I should hold onto and what I should let go.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>Prior to SS I was aware of the Vedanta philosophy, but was unable to put
all of it into practice. SS has helped me do that. With SS there is so much
more acceptance of myself than before.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>Recently I faced a major health issue. I kept healing myself as I have
learnt in SS, and throughout this trying period I was able to maintain my calm.
I hope to soon recover from it completely.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

has become a part of my life or rather a way of life for me. I now look at life
as an adventure and a mystery to be unraveled! </span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The word
‘Surrender’ or ‘Surrendering’ brings in our minds the thought of being weak or
weakness. We believe only the weak surrender!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Serenity
Surrender (SS) has changed the whole understanding of the word ‘Surrender’ for
me. I have experienced how we can experience a complete change in the situation
by merely surrendering it to the Creator whole heartedly. The most powerful way
of living is acceptance and complete surrender to the creator. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Living and
leading life with full awareness of every little detail of each moment is the
power of SS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As
conditioned we all are in our lives, brooding over our past and fearing,
lingering over the future. SS empowers us to that extent that we actually start
living above all these. The change in the way I used to think and work has been
remarkable. Negativities present in situations and people don’t cause me worry
anymore as I have understood how it was all my creation. Now I have the power
to handle it with very simple tools that SS provides me. It’s amazing to
experience how the energies work irrespective of who, where, what, we are. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Serenity Surrender (SS) by my side I feel empowered. Empowered to lead the same life with more awareness and acceptance of myself and my situations. Earlier I used to feel at the mercy of my destiny. Now the meaning of destiny has changed for me. I now understand and realise whatever happened in my life and whatever is still happening is all that I wished to experience.<br /><br />It is so empowering and interesting to realise the power that we all are born with however are completely unaware of. SS has made me realise each moment how I create my own realities. Changing my realities and accepting the same are all in my hands.<br /><br />All I can add here is I never depended so much on myself and my hidden powers before I made SS my way of life. Thank you so much SS for making me realise my own strengths.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 370.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Life is beautiful and so is each one of us. If all of us could absorb
and imbibe this fact, this world and our lives would be full of love. Even if
we believe that we are beautiful, the moment we face a problem we forget it. It
seems natural for us to get so involved in our misery that we immediately disconnect
with our inner divine beauty and the pure love that we are. But the power of spiritual
healing comes in when even in critical situations we are able to keep our cool
and go through them just as naturally as we would go through any normal
situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 370.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">What is spiritual healing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 370.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Spiritual Healing is when we are able to connect to ourselves at soul
level so that we understand and know our deepest emotions, needs and desires.
Once we understand ourselves at the deepest level, we can reach the root of the
negative emotions in us that are attracting negative situations in our lives.
Just reaching and knowing such roots is not enough. We have to accept them in
order to be able to heal them and move on to happier and better lives, that we
all so deserve. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 370.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">All of us are made of pure divine love. But somewhere during our
journeys we have forgotten this because of the various painful situations that
we have been through. Do we want to continue living that pain through more and
more such experiences or are we ready to move on to happiness? Those who are
ready to move on and make their worlds happier will certainly attract understanding
the immense power that they are carrying within to attract the happiness that
they so deserve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 370.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Life is really a beautiful journey. The love that we are carrying within
us is immensely powerful. We just need to realize it, know it and accept it. It
has the power to make our lives absolutely happy and serene. Once we know it
and understand its healing power, we will simply dissolve all our worries,
pains and sorrows in it. All this healing power is our own and lies within us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Have you ever realised
that we spend most of our lives either brooding over the past or fearing the
future? We never even seem to be present to what the present moment is offering
us. Regrets from the past and insecurities about the future occupy our thoughts
too much to leave any room for recognising, acknowledging and accepting our
present.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, whenever we have
looked back at our lives, even the toughest of times we have had, we are able
to see how those times transformed us for the better. Everything that happened
in our lives had a purpose. One thing led to the other, and has made us what we
are today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It does naturally imply
then, that whatever is happening in this moment is in divine order, too. It
certainly has a good purpose in our lives and will lead us to our growth. The
purpose may or may not be evident now. However, more often than not, we feel
miserable due to whatever we are experiencing. Is it a habit? It is probably
due to the expectations we always carry about what should be happening with us.
Comparison between our expectations and our reality always tends to demean the
reality. That doesn’t change the reality though. Only when we have accepted the
reality are we able to do anything to change it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The weakest of our moments
carry a seed of our transformation. They have the potential to uncover our
strengths and bring out the best from within us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Healing is a natural
process the soul goes through inevitably, in its eternal journey. It is going
through its experiences and learning its lessons from there. So what really is
the objective of healing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A healer intensifies and expedites
the natural process of soul healing. With awareness of learning the lessons
hidden behind human experiences, we can actually make our journey more
meaningful, effortless and enjoyable. That is not to say that healing is about
stopping doing what we are meant to do as human beings, but about realising
that all is being taken care of, only if we learn to observe and accept what we
are experiencing in the current moment. Thus learning healing is about learning
to live in awareness of our experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Serenity Surrender is a beautiful way of imbibing deeper understanding of
our being and of our experiences. Since we tend to live our lives too focussed
on the outside world, and how we are perceived in the outside world, we start
living in ignorance of the needs of our soul. The soul then creates situations
in our relationships, in our financial matters or even in the physical body
that need our immediate attention. We come to a point where it is difficult to
move on by ignoring that situation. At such times, we come to realise the limitations of what the outside world has to offer in terms of alleviating our intense misery. Usually, that is the time when one would
opt for healing, to turn inwards, and begin the journey of self-realization.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">By attending one of Serenity
Surrender Basic trainings, one can learn healing and become capable of addressing
their own issues which have been appearing to be out of their control. By
getting an insight on the higher perspective of the life situation, one can
actually bring about changes to one’s energies, which have been creating those
situations for that person. It is very empowering to know that the root of all
your problems is within you. When you have learnt to identify these roots within
yourself, you realise how easy it becomes to understand your life situations and
patterns and even change them. It is to be experienced to be believed!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Self-confidence and more
love and acceptance for self are some of the natural outcomes!</span></div>
