Why are you in mourning? Why are you grieving? Change the narrative, change the perspective! Celebrate. Be happy. You’ve won! You are free. Free to pursue yourself. Free to be with your own self. The best relationship you can possibly invest in is with yourself. You can have several relationships with several individuals, but the relationship with yourself, there’s only one.

Then there’s energy. Can the past hold energy? Absolutely yes! If you’re directing your thoughts towards it then yes. What happens when you first get in a relationship, you keep thinking about your partner. Do you want to embark on a relationship with yourself? If yes, then start directing your thoughts towards your own self.

But there are things I can only experience with someone else. Yes, I agree. I never said you should not find a partner. But why deprive yourself of experiences just cause your mind believes that you cannot experience happiness or pleasure on your own. It doesn’t have to feel lonely unless you make it so. Loving yourself is not something you do only when you’re “single”, it’s a non stop continuous lifetime journey even after you find a partner, but if you are single, then there’s no better time to start.

Diving Into the Six Principles of Surrender: Rupa Goswami’s Path to Divine Flow

Surrender—this single word evokes fear in the logical mind but ignites bliss in the devoted heart. To the ego, surrender sounds like defeat. But to the soul, it is liberation. Rupa Goswami, the great Bhakti saint, didn’t just preach devotion; he mapped the precise way to dissolve resistance and merge into divine love.

In his Śaraṇāgati, Rupa Goswami revealed the six principles of surrender—not as lifeless rules, but as a way to dive fearlessly into the infinite. This is not submission in the worldly sense; it is an ecstatic offering of the self, an entrance into divine flow where struggle ceases, and grace takes over.

Let’s strip away fear and rediscover surrender as the greatest adventure of the soul.

The Six Principles of Surrender: The Blueprint for Divine Flow

Accepting What is Favourable (ānukūlya saṅkalpa)

Surrender doesn’t mean passive resignation; it means actively embracing all that nurtures your spiritual growth.

Like a river that welcomes rain to swell its flow, the surrendered soul welcomes everything that deepens divine connection.

Rejecting What is Unfavourable (prātikūlya varjana)

True surrender means letting go of what dims your spiritual light.

Toxic environments, draining habits, self-doubt—Rupa Goswami teaches that Bhakti flourishes when we prune what no longer serves us.

Firm Faith That God is Our Protector (rakṣiṣyatīti viśvāsaḥ)

Imagine a bird soaring without fear because the sky itself holds it up.

When we surrender, we don’t fall—we rise, lifted by the unseen hands of grace.

Embracing God as Our Sole Guardian (goptṛtve varaṇaṁ)

Surrender means choosing the Divine as the ultimate guide, trusting the cosmic intelligence over our limited reasoning.

It’s not about giving up choices—it’s about choosing alignment over resistance.

Full Self-Surrender (ātma-nikṣepa)

This is the moment the wave stops fighting and merges into the ocean.

The ego clings to ‘me,’ but surrender whispers, ‘You were never separate to begin with.’

A Deep Sense of Humility (kārpaṇye)

True surrender is not a loss of power but a shift in perspective—realizing that our strength was never ours alone.

Humility is not weakness; it is recognizing that we are vessels through which divine energy flows.

Practical Toolkit: Living the Six Principles of Surrender

Surrender is not a theory—it’s a daily practice. Here’s how to embody these principles in real life:

1. Audit Your Inputs (Favour & Reject)

Identify what uplifts your soul (favour) and what drains it (reject).

Create a list and consciously choose nourishment over depletion.

2. The ‘Soaring Bird’ Practice (Trust as Protection)

Each morning, visualize yourself as a bird flying effortlessly, knowing the air will hold you.

Remind yourself: “I am supported beyond what I can see.”

3. The ‘Divine Decision’ Ritual (Guardian & Guide)

When facing uncertainty, pause and ask: “What would divine love choose?”

Train yourself to follow the heart’s wisdom over mental fear.

4. The ‘Wave & Ocean’ Meditation (Self-Surrender)

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize yourself as a wave merging into an infinite ocean.

Feel the relief of no longer needing to control everything.

5. Daily Gratitude for Humility

End each day by acknowledging three things that remind you of divine grace.

Surrender grows when we recognize we were never alone in our victories.

Leap Into the Flow of Grace

Surrender is not weakness. It is strength in its purest form—the courage to trust, the wisdom to release, and the joy of merging into something greater than oneself.

Rupa Goswami did not ask us to give up; he invited us to step in. Not into emptiness, but into fullness.

The question is: Will you dip your toes in divine flow, or will you dive headfirst?

The Old Soul in a Young Body: A Journey Through Time and Self

There has always been a feeling deep within me, a sense that I am more connected to the past than to the present moment. An old soul trapped in a young body. Sometimes, it's hard to explain, but it's as though there’s an unspoken connection to something greater, something timeless.

I can remember feeling this way ever since kindergarten. Even back then, there was an underlying feeling of not quite fitting into this time, as if I were older in my mind than my age would suggest. I've always been drawn to older, more timeless things in life—books, art, and ideas that have stood the test of time.

Maybe it's the way I find comfort in old books, the wisdom from philosophers long gone, or the timeless beauty in ancient art. Maybe it’s my fascination with history, the way I can lose myself in stories from distant times, as though I’ve lived them myself. It’s as if I’ve gathered fragments of the past and carried them with me, unknowingly, into this life.

There’s a certain depth to this feeling that I can’t shake off. It's not nostalgia, but rather a quiet certainty that I’ve always been drawn to things that have survived the trials of time. I can lose myself in the philosophy of the past, or find strange peace when I’m surrounded by nature. It’s as if I’m meant to explore these worlds, understand them, even if I don't always know why.

And it’s not just in my thoughts. It also shows in my creativity. Whether it’s writing stories, capturing moments through photography, or even my thoughts on AI and the future, there’s always this pull between the past and the present. It’s as if I’m constantly balancing two worlds: one that is long gone and one that is unfolding right before me.

It’s both comforting and frustrating. On one hand, I feel like I possess a wisdom that goes beyond my years, but on the other hand, it’s hard to keep up with the pace of the world around me. There’s a longing for something that can’t quite be grasped, and at times, it feels like I’m simply waiting for a time or place that truly feels like home.

Being an old soul in a young body isn’t always easy. But it gives me a unique perspective—one that’s grounded in the past yet always curious about the future.

Juicy Question Embedded in Burning Questions

What is spiritual direction? What happens in a spiritual direction session? Is spiritual direction tied to a specific religion? Who sparked your gay awakening? How is spiritual direction different from therapy or chaplaincy? Also, what does "Fratres Dei" mean?

Earlier this year Fratres Dei Spiritual Direction created a series of posts called "FAQ o' the Week." Throughout the series we answered your burning questions about spiritual direction. For your ease of consumption, we've compiled the content of each of these posts right here on this one. And for your reading pleasure, Rachel has added an overshare.

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is “a long, loving look at the real.” It’s the millennia-old practice of partnering with another to navigate one’s spiritual journey or relationship with the sacred. It’s like therapy for your spiritual health (and is not a replacement for mental healthcare). Spiritual directors help the spiritually curious connect with their essential selves. Through counseling-style interaction, directors create a space within which directees may openly, honestly, and safely explore, process, and deepen all parts of their personal spiritual inclinations and longings. Matters addressed by spiritual direction include but are not limited to:

Self Integration / Body-Mind Integration

Discernment

Faith Crisis

Deconstruction

Spiritual or Religious Doubt

Head-Heart Connection

Friendship / Intimacy with the Sacred

Nonreligious Spiritual Growth

Occupational / Caregiver Burnout

Imagination-Based Meditation

Interfaith Relationships

General Spiritual Growth or Refreshment

Body Movement

Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual or Religious Transition

Spiritual or Religious Trauma

Spiritual Practice Exploration

Issues of Anger with the Divine / Misotheism

LGBTQIA+ Spirituality (Affirming)

Ecospirituality

Bodywork

Is Spiritual Direction Tied to a Specific Religion?

No. Spiritual direction is the practice of serving as a companion to another as they discern their own personal journey. It is not tied to a specific faith tradition, and the goal is not to push dogma onto the directee. Spiritual direction is an evocative process, as the director seeks to help the directee understand how they encounter spirituality or the sacred. Rather than telling the directee what to think, believe, do, say, or know, the director helps the directee explore aspects of their experience of spirituality or the sacred or of something that points to these. Although teaching and instruction do occur, the director often observes and highlights what happens when a person becomes aware of a dimension of themselves or of the sacred. This results in a deepened intimacy with the self, the universe and its inhabitants, and the sacred.

What Happens in a Spiritual Direction Session?

Every session is as varied as the number of people on earth, but here’s a description of what generally happens in a session:

Many directors will start with some kind of centering practice to help the directee settle into the space. I (Rachel) personally like to use a body-based approach to centering practices, as this invites the whole person, body and mind, into the session. I believe that when the body feels safe and welcome in the spiritual direction space, the session is infinitely more fruitful. (Furthermore, if the body doesn’t feel safe, I don’t think the session should happen at all.)

From there, the director and directee will discuss whatever aspect of the directee’s spiritual life they would like to focus on. If they are not sure exactly what that is, the director might guide an exploratory meditative practice to help the directee discern.

Sometimes the session simply has a “talk therapy” structure. Other times, if the directee believes it would be beneficial, the director may use modalities to encourage deeper exploration. In my own practice, I enjoy utilizing freeform imagination-based meditation as well as body-centric discernment techniques. Spiritual direction is best served agenda-free, as each directee will benefit from different approaches and styles. Part of the joy of spiritual direction is discovering what those unique styles may be and how the directee can use them long after the session is over.

Spiritual Direction vs. Therapy

Spiritual direction and mental health counseling walk a fine line, because your spiritual health impacts your mental health, and your mental health impacts your spiritual health. However, spiritual direction and therapy serve different primary functions. Spiritual direction seeks to serve the whole person, body and mind, by helping the directee cultivate their spirituality. Spirituality helps individuals and communities find meaning and cohesion in all areas of life, which includes mental health. However, in the same way that you wouldn’t go to your PCP for surgery, spiritual direction is not a one stop shop for mental and emotional wellness. While some spiritual directors are licensed mental health counselors, not all are. While it may be appropriate to discuss mental health challenges in a spiritual direction setting, a spiritual director will not diagnose or treat mental illness. Part of spiritual direction training involves learning when it is appropriate to refer the directee to a mental health counselor.

That said, these two forms of care work beautifully in tandem with one another. Many individuals greatly benefit from alternating between spiritual direction and therapy sessions for holistic care. 

Spiritual Direction vs. Chaplaincy

As someone who has served as a hospital chaplain, a hospice chaplain, and a spiritual director, I think chaplaincy and spiritual direction are close cousins. So close, that I sometimes think the two terms could be used interchangeably. (I’d be interested to hear any hot takes from other chaplains or spiritual directors about that. Please share your thoughts in the comments.) I had a friend who once jokingly described spiritual direction as “chaplaincy for people who aren’t in crisis,” and I honestly struggle to find a better definition.

While spiritual direction certainly can provide care for people in crisis, the context for spiritual direction is typically less specific than that of chaplaincy. With plenty of exceptions, chaplaincy usually is practiced in the context of hospitals, hospice, schools, the military, etc. There are heavily emotionally charged circumstances in each of these settings, and chaplains serve as spiritual support for individuals in the thick of these circumstances. Again, while spiritual direction also could be helpful in and around these settings, spiritual direction tends to be less specialized in its scope. Spiritual direction lends itself to difficult times, neutral times, and euphoric times. It can serve as a temporary space of discernment for specific issues or life decisions, and it can be a normal part of one’s routine for general spiritual growth.

Again with plenty of exceptions, interactions with chaplains can be relatively brief (especially in a hospital setting), and relationships with spiritual directors tend to be more ongoing. There is nuance between the training and skill sets required for chaplaincy and spiritual direction, especially when chaplains need to prepare for specific contexts. But insofar as both fields invite interfaith and exploratory approaches to spirituality without direct instruction or dogma, they feel like different sides of the same coin to me. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

What Does "Fratres Dei" Mean?

In Latin, “fratres dei” means “siblings of god.” (The gender-neutral word for “siblings” and “brothers” is the same word.) I chose this name to evoke a sense of esteemed divine companionship, rather than a top–down, hierarchical understanding of divinity. “God” here is interpreted as a higher power, ultimate reality, consciousness, inherent unity, or a personal spiritual center. “God” is a cultural term that an individual may use as a shorthand for each of these things, whether or not they believe in a deity from a specific faith tradition.
