The word "surrender" is often interpreted as giving up, as weakness, as admitting defeat. Although this is one way to use the word, we will use it in a different way. Surrendering means letting go of your resistance to the total openness of who you are.

It means to open with no boundaries, emotional or physical, so you ease wide beyond any limiting sense of self you might have.
