Techniques for Surrendering

 ....when you are okay in there, you will not be thinking about how to be okay. You will just be relaxing into the quiet space of peaceful well-being. This requires that you be okay with your thoughts and emotions....When you relax into witness consciousness you are surrendering into the reality of what's happening. Michael A. Singer, page 156

Besides changing our negative thoughts to positive ones, there are two other things Singer suggests we do to free ourselves from the effects of our samskaras.  We can use a mantra and we can learn to relax into witness consciousness. They all go together though.

We notice our thinking. Then we refocus to something more positive as we relax into what is, including what the mind is doing. Instead of getting all tensed up and ready to fight and resist, we detach somewhat  from what is going on inside and outside us, leaning back into the observer as we simply witness the experience.  Being able to relax into what is, can  be practiced through mantra meditation  We can also use a mantra in the face of something challenging to deal with like, "I'm okay.  I can do this." We can use a mantra to help us tame our minds to become more relaxed and positive etc. 

The three techniques of positive thinking, relaxing into witness consciousness and mantra are helpful for freeing ourselves from the "bondage of mind." We can surrender to what is and be okay. 

All is well
