Submission vs. Surrender

What's the difference between submission and surrender?Both of these terms hold the essence of letting go, but there’s a fine line between the two of them.Surrender can be an embodied state that supports our ability to create our desires and experience life as it is, while submission can be where we fall into the false idea that “it is what it is.” In this episode, Alison shares the nuances between these two energies to support you in spotting where you might be surrendering versus where you might be submitting so you can realign toward surrender.“This is a very natural human longing to surrender to life — to stop trying to take care of what clearly cannot be taken care of. And then there's submission — the following of the rules, the doing what we feel we should do, the “I don't see any other alternatives, so I'll just do this,” and it's a very, very, very fine line.”MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEPaper by Emmanuel Ghent, "Masochism, Submission, Surrender: Masochism As a Perversion of Surrender"—Listen to Juicy Stories: 16 women have joined together to share their stories about spirituality in all its forms.https://alison-crosthwait.lpages.co/juicy-stories-series/—JOIN THE EMAIL LIST TO RECEIVE NON-OBVIOUS THINKING ABOUT PERSONAL GROWTH Sign Up for Alison's Email List —HOW TO MICRODOSE FOR TRANSFORMATION GUIDEReceive the Transformational Microdosing Guide —APPLY FOR EXPAND TO STEP FULLY INTO THE LIFE YOU DESIREExpand is a three month alchemical program to transform your current experience into a new chapter in your life.  In Expand you will engage in deep mental, emotional and somatic work in a structured process so that you can fully step into your life in every way you desire.
