After reading "Surrender Experiment" 1 When the time is ripe, some books will naturally appear in life. The surrender experiment just happened to appear in my present life.
Author Michaela. The singer began to wake up in his twenties. At the beginning of this book, when he began to think about the voice in his head, he felt similar to Eckhart Tolley, the author of The Power of Now. They became observers of thought. They are all smart and thinking the same question. I was inspired by the book "The Power of the Present" before, and this time I watched "The Experiment of Surrender" which was very enjoyable and inspiring.
Michaela Singer, the author of Surrender Experiment, insisted on meditation at first, staying away from the noise and living alone in the mountains. Later, he went with the flow, gave up the inner conflict of likes and dislikes, let life dominate everything, and found that he could practice in life. The energy he feels at work is the same as that he feels in meditation and yoga practice, and the smooth life has also brought many surprises to the author in his life. In Michaela. The singer's life proves that life itself knows what is best than he thinks. Let me have a deeper understanding of the sentence "Everything is the best arrangement".
After reading this book, I was moved many times. What impressed me most was Michaela. Singh went to prison to teach prisoners awakening courses and meditation. Many prisoners study hard, and they are also pursuing the salvation of their souls. The story of a violent motorcycle leader's inner transformation also made me cry. He said that I was particularly moved at the moment when I felt love.
Michaela Singh's experience is a miracle of meditation and a surprise of surrendering to the experiment. Just like the title of a book I read before, The Miracle of Mindfulness.
To borrow a passage from the book: "Surrender is a powerful word, which often reminds people of cowardice and timidity, but for me, surrender requires all my strength, and I am brave enough to walk into the unknown along the invisible road."
I'm so touched! I can fully understand the author's feelings and have a great resonance with my previous setbacks and years of study. This kind of reading will have a particularly happy resonance. Thank the author, the partner who translated this book, and the meeting. I also learn from the author and try to follow the flow of life and live in the present.

"Surrender, what a powerful word! It is often associated with cowardice and timidity, but for me, submission requires all my strength, so that I have enough courage to enter the unknown along the invisible road. "
"In my past life, I always thought I knew what was best for me, but life itself seemed to know these things better than me. Fortunately, life always knows more, and she began to guide me to serve others to break my insistence. "
After watching Surrender Experiment 2, keep an open mind, keep a focused and peaceful heart, and keep a passion for Excellence. These are my three experiences from watching the surrender experiment.
In the book, the author repeatedly emphasizes that in the journey of life, we should put aside our personal preferences and submit to the arrangement of fate. My understanding is that we should keep an open mind in the overall choice, follow our own heart and pursue with passion, but we should accept all kinds of accidents in the pursuit with a peaceful heart and seize the opportunities contained therein. The submission here is full of a proactive passion.
Look at the three turns of the author's fate again. When I was studying for a doctorate in economics, I tried to get inner peace through yoga and meditation, because I observed various thoughts in my mind. These attempts are my favorite and positive choices. He enjoyed the process of meditation and its effect very much, and even gave up many things in his original life because of his great investment. For example, he didn't attend the original course in time, his doctor didn't want to continue studying, and even his married life was affected. In this process, he is actively changing the original state of life. The second turning point is the establishment of a company based on love to carry out engineering construction. The third time is contact with computers and programming. When I first came into contact with these new things, the author was not disgusted or even obsessed, but kept an open mind about what happened in the process of things gradually unfolding, making the water flow wider and wider along the river, completely unaffected by personal emotions, and completely living in the present.
The revelation to me at present is that one should gain concentration and inner peace through meditation. It may be necessary to meditate for a long time every day and persist for a long time in the early stage, so as to realize the qualitative change of spirit in a short time through meditation. The other is, if you want to do something, go all out. Strive for perfection and perfection.
Reflections on "Surrender Experiment" 3 This is a book about spiritual exploration. The author Xing Ge described his life experience in words and selflessly shared his successful experience with others, trying to help others improve their chances of success.
Readers' attention, in the author's description, it is a magical moment to see the figure of a star brother rising from his own body and floating in the air, paying close attention to the existence of the real body. Such a familiar scene has been touched in many novels, such as Chen Yazhen's "The sheep cried, the pig laughed and the ant was sick" and so on. However, it is more manifested in the moment when the soul comes out of its sheath. Most of the people lying on the ground are corpses, and what Brother Xing met was really the author's personal experience.
For this unusual experience, Brother Xing's life has undergone major changes. Everyone's restless heart and quiet heart lead to constant struggle in the inner world. How to choose is extremely important, and so is brother Xing who is eager to seek spiritual enlightenment. By chance, Brother Xing started the experience of meditation, let go of his inner world in the quiet open space, and let his restless heart return to normal, thus opening the door to the wisdom of pursuing "meditation" and spiritual life.
When meditation reaches a certain level, the whole body will be entangled by some mysterious breath, accompanied by strong airflow hovering, reminding me of meditation in the martial arts world, which is really like it. During meditation, silence is extremely vivid, and qi flows in the meridians of the body, forming a cycle. The route of this cycle is the meridian. On a small Sunday, press the second pulse of Ren Du, and on a big Sunday, press the eighth pulse of Qi Jing.
Brother Xing's meditation has finally gained a lot. Starting from the savings left by his parents, he returned to nature and invested his first money in a secluded place in the forest. All kinds of things he encountered are constantly confirming the existence of surrender power. The indigenous residents nearby bought their properties to Brother Xing one after another, and their meditation places were slowly expanding, magically eventually forming a whole piece of land that was constantly connected, and everything happened completely naturally.
With the occurrence of all kinds of things, the various gains of companies engaged in construction business and developing software show the existence of "yield" power more and more. When you encounter a problem, don't worry about it, be calm and treat it calmly, and things will get better. The result of surrender is undoubtedly to maximize the harvest.
"Surrender experiment" is not a negative attitude towards life, but a way to break my will, not complaining, not impetuous, focusing on the present, and wholeheartedly embracing things and things that appear in "now, now" life. Look at life calmly, accept things that cannot be changed, and don't affect your life mood.
Speaking of the word "surrender", what comes to mind? It was an ancient vassal regime, attacking each other and bowing to their knees; Or do men fall at the feet of women? The word "surrender" in the book "Surrender Experiment" shared with you today will give you a new understanding of this word. The "submission" mentioned in the book is not aimed at a specific person, but at life itself.
In the book Surrender Experiment, the author Mike A. Singh tells his true story. As a college intellectual, he accidentally came into contact with the "surrender experiment" in a chat with his brother-in-law, and then gradually learned, verified, excavated, mastered, cultivated and applied the "stream of life" through travel, exploration, meditation and yoga, and became the CEO of a listed company. The so-called "surrender experiment" refers to giving up the influence of subjective consciousness when something happens and responding according to the attributes of the event itself. At first, the author refused to socialize with the outside world, lived a quiet and secluded life, and had an epiphany on "submission" Later, with the guidance and help of a yoga master, the author rejected the outside view and tried to accept his fate. In his later work and life, the author experienced such events as establishing spiritual community, founding construction company, learning programming, and gradually building a listed company with a market value of $654.38+0 billion. During this period, he further used the method of "submission". After reaching the peak of his life, the author suffered some changes and lost everything. At this time, he once again used the method of "yielding" to calm himself down.
In fact, the author's "surrender experiment" can also find a corresponding word in China, that is "let nature take its course". Having said that, some readers may ask, "I am very satisfied with my life, but why am I not as successful as the author of Surrender Experiment?" That's because what we think of as "happy-go-lucky" is only the standard of our subjective consciousness. In fact, we only control people and things emotionally, tolerate actions and divert our thinking, but we don't completely let life dominate everything like the author of this book.
We all have a set of custom standards based on past experience and our own preferences, but we can't verify whether they are suitable for the new environment and new scenes. The expectation of life is also framed in the cognition we take for granted. However, once we only have the possibility we are looking forward to at the moment, it is equivalent to rejecting all other possibilities.
The worst thing we can do is to think that we know the whole truth of life. Living in expectation is actually a self-creation of the fight between trapped animals. Because I know my limitations, so let it be, because I have nothing to rely on, so let it be. Instead of clinging to our expectation from a single perspective, it is better to accept everything that life brings you. Happiness is the best philosophy.
Reflection on "Surrender Experiment" 5 Now, let's close our eyes and think back to the last time when we were calm. In what state does it appear? Is it the result of painstaking efforts or an unexpected gift? For men and women living in modern cities, they will encounter countless mirror images and stares every day, and experience desires and temptations, abundance and enjoyment all the time. The "ego", whether material or spiritual, has been publicized rather than suppressed. In this case, it seems inappropriate and difficult to take a step back and weaken yourself.
If you don't have this experience, it's largely your own regret, because according to Mike A. Singer, the author of Surrender Experiment and one of the legendary trendsetters in the early Internet age, if you don't reach the paradise on earth, you will at least encounter "magical perfection" and "all chaos will disappear, only peace and tranquility". Readers familiar with Singer may point out that Singer has been practicing yoga and meditation for a long time. Although he is not a devout believer, to some extent, his experience and remarks are not universal. After all, few people around him think they are gods. Is that really the case?
Singh's experience from scratch, from ordinary boy to millionaire, cannot be copied. Therefore, the surrender experiment may be just his personal self-dialogue. On the other hand, according to his own description, the doubts in his mind during adolescence, especially the existence of constant noise, cannot be summarized. It is sometimes rational, good at calculating interests, and sometimes restless, and guides the decision-making process with love and hate intertwined. Most of us have experienced or are experiencing these doubts, which often make us feel schizophrenic and even seriously affect our lives.
In this case, in view of similar confusion and empathy, it may be instructive to examine Singh's thoughts, actions and feelings. A few decades ago, Singh was just an ignorant young man, but in an accident, he found that he could "observe his thoughts and emotions", so that the previous "paying too much attention to details" became less important. Later, he gradually came into contact with Indian yoga and spiritual life, gradually learned how to get along with the noise in his brain, and successively experienced the sublimation of the realm. He not only ignored and calmed the noise in his brain, but even chose the opposite decision when the noise appeared, and let these decisions take him to any unexpected state. The final result is not terrible, but full of surprises and joy.
Readers with a little knowledge of Buddhism can easily associate with similar concepts and practices of removing "ego". Life is alive, because there is a body, (plus acquired cultural acquisition), so there are secular desires, perfect opportunities rarely appear, and more are all kinds of "sufferings" brought by imperfections. I didn't give up my spiritual "self", but I got a temporary relief. My heart of gain and loss gave way to my normal heart. "I don't like things, I don't care about myself." Of course, getting rid of "self-attachment" is far from a day's work, and it needs constant cultivation and testing, just like Singh's advanced yoga process.
Therefore, the surrender experiment is a "selfless self-book". This statement seems contradictory, but it is not. "No self" does not "kill" itself or paralyze the senses. On the contrary, it broke egoism and established a harmonious dialogue with the world, others and, of course, the deep self. Ego is important, but not important. It gives way to the operating rules of life, nature, the world and even the universe. Perhaps it can be summed up by "fate" (excluding pessimism and world-weariness). Out of my hard shell, you will find that the world is actually beautiful and magnificent, even if you have never practiced yoga.
