The Power of Submission

To have a clear understanding of the power of submission, first one must understand what being a submissive means, where it comes from and how it is expressed. True submission is something that comes from deep within a person and is an essential part of their nature. It is something expressed from the heart and soul and as such, it goes much deeper than the mere physical/sexual act of offering oneself to a Master for pleasure.

A person can behave in a submissive manner but this is not the same as being "a submissive". To offer oneself completely and utterly to another, to surrender all choice and "power" requires an exceptional inner strength and high self esteem; be able to acknowledge that in order to relinquish power to another as well as the understanding that one must possess that inner power is essential.

Embracing and expressing my submissive nature has given me the most powerful opportunities to find the deepest levels of trust, power and the intimacy that can only arise from the bond of a Master and sub. It is the ultimate expression of balance, the archetypal opposition of yin (the receptive principal) and yang (the active principle). Both sides being perfectly equal, yet forming a perfect whole.

As a submissive, my goals are to come before my Master as an empty chalice to be filled..... or a blank canvas to be painted.... formless clay waiting to be molded. Through this exchange, i know that i will become more than i was before.... the Master takes the raw material, or the blank canvas or the raw gemstone and brings out the inner lustre.

In this experience, what many misinterpret is that they assume the Master imposes His will upon the sub and she becomes whatever He wants her to be. i would disagree.... to me, the Master brings out the qualities of submission in a more pronounced way.

Rather than being told to "act" in a submissive way, it is the submissive's role to remove veil after veil until who she becomes is the perfectreflection of devoted service.In serving her Master, she finds an inner joy and balance that comes from knowing that with each veil removed, each boundary crossed, she becomes MORE of who she already is. When she feels, hears and sees her Master's pride in her, she knows that she is elevated and adored above all women. she has truly given the Gift of her soul to Him and in that exchange He becomes as bound to her as she is to Him. That is the beauty of submission to me.

There is a dynamic that exists where the more the Master asks of her, the more she am able to give, and then the deeper the bond becomes. It grows exponentially. The perfect yin/yang of the Master being the active principle in the TAKING and the submissive being the receptive in the GIVING.

My submission is expressed in many ways: on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Without all of these levels, again, it becomes merely a physical act. There is a sacredness to submission as well for me. Like prayer or other acts of devotion, it is living my life with an intention and focus that always strives for the highest, purest expression.

Putting the relationship first... always searching within for ways to please and offer more of myself than i think i can. It is this going beyond and pushing limits that becomes the most important reward of submission for me... the place of empowerment and self knowledge and the resulting inner strength/transformation. It is also dancing with the inner "shadowself"... the parts of me that are about fear and being taken on the journey by someone (the Master) who will always be there to catch me, so i never really fall.

The most special part of submission for me is level of intimacy and soul connection with another. Each veil that is removed, each boundary crossed, each time of being taken to the outer most regions of letting go of control..... all of this is the glue that binds the Master and sub completely to one another. To become completely naked and vulnerable on every level, then give more than she thinks she can and to see the pride, love and devotion in the Master's eyes is the greatest Gift imaginable.
