Should you go with the flow or not? Should you surrender or should you manifest and create your own reality?
I am going to answer your question from experience, my experience and the experiences of many of my clients and students. So this will not be an intellectual answer or one based on suppositions or beliefs.
You ‘should’ do whatever you feel inspired to do. There really is no should involved in this. But there is the appearance of choice.
You can choose to imagine that life and reality are yours and that you can control and create your own reality. Most people do. But there is a price to pay for living this delusion. If you choose to live in this way then there will be struggle, suffering and there will always be unintended consequences. Inner peace will only be a fleeting or periodic experience no matter how ‘successful’ you become. Total and complete fulfillment will be elusive and out of reach. Experience of the flow will be intermittent at best and only at moments when you are completely focused on a particular task or practice.
If you choose and commit to constant total and absolute surrender then you relinquish the belief that you are in control of reality and that life belongs to you; Life flows beautifully, Synchronicity is how events play out every day, Everything working out perfectly becomes the norm. All of this happens effortlessly, without stress, without struggle, without suffering and without control.
The surrender requires great courage at first. Letting go of the beliefs that limit you takes some time and experience. Eventually the process becomes autonomic. I have posted an article about exactly how to do this and posted it at my blog
. You are most welcome to read it there and to use all the meditations and practices I have posted.

I love this incense holder. It was difficult to find a large incense holder, for some reason lol, but I finally discovered this one and I’m so impressed and satisfied with it. It catches all of the incense and is absolutely gorgeous, and I will definitely be purchasing more.
Miss Ray Kay –
I originally purchased one for a gift but liked it so much that I purchased one for myself too. I feel like it does catch the incense ash at the bottom very well, I believe I read some reviews that said otherwise, but I haven’t had that experience.
Ryan –
It’s a beautiful piece,only if the blue was a little bit brighter..still the face is so calm,gives so much peace to look at.

I would’ve loved my Buddha to be a little bigger but oh well. He sits perfectly atop my shelf in the living room, keeping me centered. A great buy and a lovely gift item
M. Nichols –
It is great for sticking incense at a great price.

I purchased the bronze one. Not a bad purchase it’s a good buy. Came packaged well in a product box. No dents, no scratches in or on it.
Megan alley –
Smaller than I thought it would be and very lightweight good for the desk.
Claudia –
I bought this to burn frankincense resin and have already received a number of requests asking where I bought it so friends could buy it too!
Justina Lowman –
I’m very pleased with my purchase. This little burner is well-made and the color is exquisite. I purchased the rose gold burner. It looks great on my shelf and burns mine holds my incense without overheating.

Tesha Green –
This is absolutely gorgeous. Also comes with lots of cones to start you off and even some small incense sticks.
Graciela –
Very nice just like the picture
Maria –

Cory Hall –
Love how it catches the ash perfectly! Love it!
Debra –
This incense burner is very pretty. It looks just like the photo. nice workmanship
Victoria Miles –
It was a gift and she LOVES IT!
Chance –
This is a beautiful incense holder and worth the price. I’ve used really cheap horizontal holders in the past and the holes are always drilled a little sideways so most of the incense stick isn’t over the tray, which gets ash everywhere and defeats the purpose of an incense holder.
Patricia Marquis –
Bought turquoise & gold. It’s beautiful. I wish it were a couple of inches taller and a little more substantial. The detail is gorgeous.
Aletta Welch –
I love this ash catcher. They never seem to be wide enough to catch the cash and keep it in the holder when cleaning, so the ash spills over or the air catches it and on the floor, it goes.
Emelia –
Such a calming and peaceful piece of décor this is! Everyone at home was fascinated with the way the incense smoke flowed backwards like water falling over the rocks! Very neat details, and the product looks exactly as in the photos!
Lyrikk Mashairi –
I found ashes from the incense would sometimes fall outside the holder. I also wasn’t able to burn a cone with the lid on. But it makes an excellent ashtray.
Clean with alcohol but dry quickly because any water can tarnish it.
Roman –
Works great, wonderful gift. She loved it
Karina Alcazar –
Wanting something other than a long horizontal incense holder, I settled on this one based on looks (I ordered the black) and the resting pad being silicone instead of the felt pads many of the other listings had. The item arrived in a nice, reusable box should the bowl need to be stored or while moving.
Garrett Kelly –
Absolutely LOVE my exotic-looking little incense burner… I love the rose gold color I chose but I can’t comment on the longevity of the color and if it will blacken after some time or maybe the paint/lacquer or whatever might peel off.
Michelle Smith –
I bought this for my partner for Christmas and she loves it! The waterfall effect is beautiful and the scents are good.
Maddison –
Very nice statue in low price and light weight.
Zariah –
Beautiful product.. Looking nice with my plants setup..
Annette –
Looks as pictured. Very cute. Very well made. The scents that come with it don’t smell very good which was what I expected after reading other reviews.
Jonathan Francis –
All the 5-star reviews for this statue are well-deserved! The detailed painting and charm of this statue make it a great addition to our home. Love it! Looks much more expensive than it is!
