Surrender, and give yourself over to the flow [VIDEO]
“Surrender to God” Video message
In the past week or so I’ve found a lot of old stuff in some old files and folders in an old hard drive that I’ve had for at least a decade or so.
A lot of old pictures of me, my family, friends, and places I’ve traveled and so on – It has been so much fun looking through them!
It brought back so many memories, both the fun times and also the struggling times in my life.
This video is from around 2012 and I thought it would be fun to share it with you.
And I think this article is from about the same time too, I just didn’t publish the video at that time, only the post (published in February 2012):
“When You Have Tried All Your Own Ways: Give God a Chance!“
I remember when I lived there, in the middle of nowhere, and how surrendering helped me so much in terms of developing my trust in the Universe/God and in having inner peace despite of all the pressure I felt from the outside world and other people (I was living on welfare at that time.)
Here’s a comment where I share more about that: Read it HERE.
There is no greater joy than to live in alignment with the flow of Life!
You never have to fear or worry about anything, and you’re always guided to the next step, so you always know exactly what to do and when to do it and at the exact right time you need to know it so there’s no stress or struggle with anything.
There’s a natural trust in the divine timing of the Universe when you live in alignment with your Self, so whatever is going on in the world does not matter, because you are always at peace, knowing you are absolutely safe.

As I mentioned in my most recent short blog (which you can read HERE);
“But seek (go within) ye first the kingdom of God (=get in alignment with the Truth/Source within you), and his righteousness (=your own inner truth/intuition); and all these things shall be added (come) unto you” (=your own will be attracted/become visible to you).
This simply means this:
- Live a life true to yourself, trust your intuition, trust the signs and do what feels right and true to you. Live in accordance with your own inner truth. Obey only your Self.
- Make your inner world (your soul/God/the Divine) more important than the outer world, because life unfolds from within. Everything comes from your own consciousness, so when you have a shift in consciousness, your outer world changes too, and then all things necessary for your happiness and fulfillment comes to you.
You can have the fulfillment already now, and be happy already now, it’s all an inner game, and when you’re living in surrender to the flow, or “God”, then all things are yours.
Your inner Being will draw everything to you, so think of everything that you desire or dream of and know that they have been given and shown to you because you are meant to live them, have them, express them, and so on.
That you can see it in your mind and feel it in your heart is evidence that it already exists for you, and all that is between you and That, is your fears, worries, and limiting beliefs.
Your desires are meant to serve you.
Trust your path. There’s a divine timing to everything!
I was stuck there in the Norwegian woods until I had done all the inner work (and outer work that had to do with building on my dreams) that I was meant to do there, and only when I was done with that, according to Divine will (and plan), was I able to move away from there, and when that time came, wow did everything happen fast and miraculously!
So trust your path.

And here’s a post with a mantra that will be helpful to you as well:
Don’t believe your fearful thoughts, don’t let fear scare you, but take charge of yourself and make getting and being and staying in alignment your number one priority in life and you’ll be living in heaven for the rest of your days no matter what.
So don’t be scared or worried.
You are always taken care of, and as I mentioned before, your beliefs are the only thing that is in the way for you to experience and live a life of peace and with confidence and joy.
But most people live out of alignment with who they really are and the flow of Life, and that’s the only thing that needs to be corrected (or restored to default) for a life of fulfillment.
We live out our belief-systems, our limiting definitions and concepts about ourselves, and all the other crap we falsely believe are true, but once those things are cleared out, you’re free to live the life you were meant to live from the very beginning when you first came here.
You were born to follow the flow of your own life’s energy with confidence and joy, so give yourself wholly over to it and you will come to deeply and profoundly Love Your Life!
LOVE this video Maria! “I think I know better than God” 🤣 made me laugh, so true though! I am all too familiar with the process of surrendering than taking it back 😆
Glad to hear you liked it Val! 😊
(Not sure if you meant to write ‘than’; was it a typo, or did you mean to say ‘ then’?)
Anyways, yes, surrendering is a process, but it also comes to an end at some point (you come into alignment with your Self and Life, so the struggle ends).
So for anyone reading this who finds themselves in this ‘ loop’; just keep doing it (surrendering) over and over again with the realization that it will at some point come to an end.
Do it until the ego gives up, which it will! Many people think that it’s never going to end, but that’s not true.
It has to do with where you place your identity, and most people think that the small self is who they are, so it’s a shift in identity that takes place (into wholeness, where the ego has a place as well) when you do the inner work of shifting your consciousness.
I was so blessed to be able to be isolated the way I was back then (even though I resented it as first as you could read in the comments-link I shared in the article), because it allowed me to do the inner work (mostly) undisturbed.
No matter what I did or how much I tried to get away from there, I wasn’t able (much like it is for a lot of people right now with forced isolation). Nothing worked, and when I finally surrendered to the awakening process, that’s when I was able to really get deep into the inner work.
Many people all around the world has now been forced to isolation and aloneness due to the Coronavirus epidemic restrictions and lockdowns, so this is the perfect time and opportunity for anyone in this kind of situation to dive deeply into their awakening process, or any other kind of transformational processes and growth.
The world is changing rapidly, we’re at a threshold to a whole new phase/era that is beginning for humanity, and just a few months from here, things will look very different, and for people who use this time well, it will look very, very different, and in the most positive and empowering ways!
Yes typo! I meant then 😊
And yes I completely agree, things have changed so much already, but excited to see what the next months will bring like you said. I think that’s what Eckhart Tolle talks about in the The New Earth 🙂
Yes, such rapid change is happening! Exiting times ahead! 😊
And PS: I’m glad you were able to laugh at yourself! 😄
The ego can be hilarious and just to become aware of this is massively transformational in itself as it helps crack open our consciousness.
Laughter is so important, and to be able to laugh at ourselves is probably one of the most consciousness-liberating things we can do!
Absolutely – to laugh is to heal!
Reminds me of one of my older posts, you have probably already read it, but for anyone else out there reading this, maybe you like it: https://mariaerving.com/ego-takes-itself-to-be-important-laugh-at-it 😊
