Surrender Is Not Giving Up: How to be in Alignment Without using Force EP 141

from The New Ashla Podcast: Cultivating Consciousness through Inner Work and Self-Mastery · host Justin V Gates and Michael Perry

Episode Companion here!In this episode of The New Ashla Coaching and Self-mastery Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry explore why forcing, overthinking, and gripping outcomes can block the very clarity and transformation we are trying to create.Sometimes the harder we push, the further the answer seemsto move away. We think harder, analyze longer, replay every possibility, and try to control every outcome. But instead of clarity, we find tension. Instead of movement, we find resistance. Instead of alignment, we find exhaustion.Drawing from the teachings of Ashla, this episode examines the difference between true effort and fear-basedforce. Effort is aligned movement. Forcing is fear trying to control the outcome. When the body tightens, the mind narrows, and the nervous system braces, what feels like responsibility may actually be anxiety pretending to bewisdom.Justin and Michael discuss how the inner system needs aclear aim, honest action, and then space to work. The mind must define the problem, gather what it knows, and choose the desired direction, but endless worry does not improve the process. Often, the next answer comes when we stopstrangling the question.Through Ashla, surrender is not giving up. It is not passivity. It is not avoidance. True surrender is active trust. It means doingyour part with clarity and integrity, then releasing what is not yours to control. It means learning to stop forcing the path and start walking in coherence.This conversation explores overthinking, decision fatigue,control, fear, relaxation, alignment, trust, and the spiritual discipline of releasing attachment to outcome. The Force moves through coherence, not strain. The Light does not require panic to guide you.Get the book here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/4ADHZyA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/NewAshla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/JustinVGates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justinvgates?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@KnightsofAwakening⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@TemplumLumis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.newashla.com⁠Keywordssurrender is not giving up, how alignment works without force, stop forcing it, relaxation and surrender, active surrender,active trust, spiritual surrender, letting go of control, overthinking,overthinking and anxiety, decision fatigue, release the outcome, stop forcing clarity, New Ashla Podcast, Justin V Gates, Michael Perry, Ashla, the Light, the Force, Luminari, self mastery, spiritual growth, emotional healing, inner alignment, spiritual alignment, coherence not strain, the Force moves through coherence,Psycho-Cybernetics, Maxwell Maltz, New Psycho-Cybernetics, automatic successmechanism, inner mechanism, goal seeking mind, subconscious mind, clarity and surrender, fear based control, anxiety and control, relaxation response, trust the process, trust the path, surrender and alignment, release attachment,release control, aligned action, right action, spiritual psychology, personal transformation, emotional regulation, nervous system healing, stop overthinking, faith and action, effort vs force, discipline without strain, surrender into the path, Ad Lucem
