The 3 Phases Of Spiritual Surrender That Lead To Divine Oneness | The Surrender Episode | Mindful Awakening & Spiritual Guidance | Ep.17

If you feel you are not reaching your full spiritual potential, you may have a surrender problem. As all resistance leads to suffering, surrender is the only spiritual strategy that leads to abiding fulfilment, true mindful living and peace. In this episode we uncover the 3 phases of surrender that lead you from your limited ego to your unlimited soul.

Spirit Matters⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a show that helps you integrate a spiritual awakening experience into your daily life. We take you beyond the confusion, frustration and spiritual loneliness to a grounded practice centred in heart-based wisdom.

Starting with Sri Chinmoy's deep writing and spiritual guidance on surrender we unpack this quality in bite-size chunks of spiritual sustenance, throwing some of our own stories and experiences in the mix. The path of the heart that we follow is closely tied to a life of surrender to the Divine.

After this episode you'll know:

• the crucial mindset shift that kicks out the ego and puts the soul in charge
• why you have been living with a tiger and how you can escape from its cage
• how a man with two near-death experiences learned the lesson of surrender (the hard way, though)
