Spiritual teacher IsanaMada maintains that many people today are experiencing an awakening, but that the isolation of the ego keep us from awareness of the fullness of our possibilities. She also describes the process of surrender as essential to spiritual work. This process is opposed by the tendency of the ego to maintain itself and the status quo. She suggests that surrender can be facilitated by aligning oneself with and opening up to the energies of the higher Self.

IsanaMada is a spiritual teacher and author of More Than Me and Call to Greatness.
