The Optimal Body 259 | Understanding the Magic of What It Means To Surrender with Kute Blackson
How do you define "surrender." Surrender is a word with a negative connotation typically. However, Kute Blackson redefines surrender as a means to let go of control and open/ liberate yourself to a true representation of your identity. Through the concept of surrender, Kute speaks about setting up your mindset to allow stepping into discomfort, the role the ego plays in the fear associated with the unknown, and what it means to explore surrender with changes in community and support. Then, Kute provides insight into superficial and true acceptance as it relates to "surrender," honing in on what it means to truly feel grief as a process to true freedom from trauma. Then, Kute dives into the topic of love, distinguishing external love from internal love through concepts of ego and how to approach suffering. Let's hop on this flow of spirituality with Kute!
