Surrendering to What is Deepest Within

by Allen Roland, Ph.D.

Author of Radical Therapy: Surrender to love and heal yourself in seven sessions (not seven years)

My new book Radical Therapy shows you how to heal yourself by opening your heart through a profound surrender to love, through a simple act of saying yes to your deepest feelings - yes to who you really are. Saying yes means having the courage to express your truest feelings, and requires that you live from your deepest convictions. Saying yes to who you really are puts an end to a life controlled by fear.

My work as a radical therapist has proven to me that when we surrender to love by courageously going through our deepest fears and pain, our hearts will open and we will discover our authentic self - that is, the love, joy, and intention that is our original birthright. We will gain access to a profound state of consciousness - I call it soul consciousness - that we once knew as children. We will in fact enter into what I call the Unified Field of love - a universal ocean of love that exists beyond time and space and which surrounds and infuses all things.

The seven sessions described in my book - if you go through them with courage and determination - have the potential to jump-start your heart. They will allow you to surrender to love and reunite with the Field.

The Unified Field of love and soul consciousness exists within each of us - beneath our deepest fears and grief - and also beyond death, time, and space. The Field reveals itself in near-death experiences, in mystic states, to all children everywhere, and to those who say yes to their deepest feelings and surrender to love. In other words, each of us is a living portal whose hidden depths open onto the Unified Field of love that is our common source.

After 25 years as a therapist working with clients from all walks of life in my practice here in Sonoma, I am amazed to see, over and over again, how simple it is for us to heal ourselves emotionally by fully surrendering to the love and joy that is deepest within us. My work has proven to me that we can each return to the soul consciousness that lives within us as our original self. We can become again the joyous and open-hearted children we once were. It really is that simple! My clients get to this joyous state in only seven sessions, the same seven sessions that are presented in my book.

But the path to soul consciousness is the path of the heart, and living from the heart requires great courage. For you to truly heal yourself you must confront and go through your darkest fears - and you must stop being a victim by taking full accountability for your life. You must realize that you alone are responsible for the decisions you made to close your heart and settle for less than all of yourself. Only then can you joyfully claim your place in the universal loving plan!
