Manifesting Joy : 52 Weeks of Hope Surrendering Yourself to New Possibilities with Kute Blackson
Want to know what blocks your manifestation? Do you feel stuck and frustrated by things happening around you? Are you looking for ways to tap into your inner power and transform?
“There is no one-step formula for transformation because everyone’s needs are different.” – Kute Blackson, (4:20).
Have you ever heard the phrase "sweet surrender" and wondered how giving up could feel sweet? Usually, surrender means admitting defeat, and it's normal to think that way. But what if surrender isn't about losing? What if it's a brave choice to let go and stop trying to control everything?
Tune in to a deeply inspiring episode of "52 Weeks of Hope" as Lauren interviews transformational teacher and author, Kute Blackson. Explore Kute's incredible journey as he faced a pivotal choice between inheriting his father's church and following his path to inner peace. Discover how listening to his soul's calling led him through profound challenges to the life he’s meant to live.
“My fear was if I speak my truth, if I tell my truth, if I dare to be who I am, I'm going to lose my father. I'm going to be alone, I'm going to be an outcast, the community won't love me.”– Kute Blackson, - (05:28).
In this episode, Kute shares the transformative wisdom he gained about surrender—not as passive acceptance, but as a powerful act of courage and trust. Hear his touching story about his mother's dignified acceptance of life's end, and discover how surrender can unlock your true potential.
“I reflected on people like Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Bob Marley, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and Mandela. These great individuals all, at some point, surrendered themselves to life and a purpose greater than themselves..” Kute Blackson, - (16:43).
“I think surrender is the most powerful thing that we can do. To me, surrender is the real secret to manifestation, the real password to freedom, the key to our next level.”Kute Blackson, - (17:37).
Explore the essence of grieving authentically, feel the rawness of your emotions, and understand why acknowledging the lies you tell yourself is the starting point for deep transformation. Kute also opens up about his non-negotiable morning routines, offering insights into creating stillness and space for true self-reflection.
“We rationalize the lies and excuses as the unconscious, self-protective mechanism to keep the status quo. We stay in relationships that we know are not aligned and not true and not aligned and not authentic. We work jobs that we hate. That is not a true expression of our purpose.” Kute Blackson, - (23:29).
Discover practical steps to create space for stillness in your daily life, whether through meditation, journaling, or simply sitting quietly for 15 minutes a day. Learn why it’s crucial to feel your feelings fully and not use distractions or meditation as a bypass.
"It’s important to allow the sensations to move through your body and experience them fully." – Kute Blackson, (14:30).
Kute delves into the importance of self-care practices, like exercise, as non-negotiable commitments to oneself. He emphasizes that the world is undergoing a period of intense change, awakening, and collective purification, where old systems are collapsing to make way for new, more conscious ones.
