The name is important. Surrender isn't about giving up or becoming passive. It's about releasing the struggle against experiences that are already part of us. During pregnancy and childbirth, that may mean softening fear surrounding labor, delivery or becoming a mother. At other stages of life, it can mean making peace with a changing body, acknowledging emotions without being controlled by them, and finding greater self-acceptance as one season gives way to another.

Inhale Surrender when emotions feel unsettled or hormonal changes have left you feeling unlike yourself. Add it to a warm mineral salt bath when you want to ease into rest, or incorporate it into compression or reflexology according to the recommended directions. From the reproductive years through menopause and beyond, Surrender is an invitation to meet the experience of womanhood with a little less resistance and a little more trust in yourself.^*
