JUDITH ORLOFF: THE ECSTASY OF SURRENDER: How Letting Go Can Transform Your Life 10/29/14

Summary: How Letting Go Can Transform Your Life Are you longing for your life to be easier and more fun? Would you like to stop pushing, micromanaging, and forcing things so you can relax? What if you could enjoy what you have instead of always lusting for “more”? What if you could live in “the zone,” propelled by powerful currents toward the right people and opportunities? What if you could stop worrying about money and live with more emotional ease in the moment? If you answer “yes” to all these questions and desire lasting positive change, then prepare to experience the ecstasy of surrender. Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT Guest Dr. Judith Orloff - author of The Ecstasy of Surrender: 12 Surprising Ways Letting Go Can Empower Your Life - shares that "The art of letting go is the secret key to manifesting power and success in all areas of life - including work, relationships, sexuality, radiant aging, and health and healing." Even in our superconnected world where emails and text messages constantly interrupt us, Judith says it’s easier to let go than you think. Julie Ann and Judith will explore specific keys and tools to let go, and claim the power - and ecstasy - of surrender. Once embraced, surrendering removes roadblocks and the exhaustion that comes from “trying too hard” — and it helps you achieve goals more effortlessly and brings ongoing happiness. Though surrender is often considered counter-intuitive to success — it's wrongly associated with weakness and defeat — it can make you more powerful, intuitive, spiritually connected, uninhibited, and ecstatically in the flow. You can sabotage success by pushing too hard. Surrender is the antidote to stress in a world that relentlessly conspires to interrupt creative thought. Surrender boosts your brain's endorphins - euphoric, opiate-like pain killers - and serotonin, a natural antidepressant that allows you to relax, have more fun, and succeed more wildly than ever before. Life becomes easier and more blissful when you can let go. Join Julie Ann and Judith, as Judith brings to ConsciousSHIFT her gift for storytelling, coupled with her unique, results-oriented approach to physical, emotional, and spiritual health — marrying neuroscience, psychiatry, intuitive medicine, energy techniques, and more — Judith shares how surrender can free anyone who is longing to be happier but who feels stuck, burned-out, tense, worried, or afraid to let go.
