~ Follow the Flow~

July, 2008     Vol.08/07 

How easy it sounds…go with the flow…how easily we resist. I have found on my own personal journey, how much better I feel when I stop struggling and simply allow…this is not giving up free will or personal choice or accountability – it more about giving up the struggle to try and make something happen – in the end I often find I am making something NOT happen – that is much of what the spiritual law of attraction teaches us as well. It seems we never full get it until we finally get it. If we did, if it were as easy as it sounds, I don’t think there would be so many books out there to remind us how to accomplish this easy process.  

Focus is the biggest part of flow – we focus on what we want with such intention we struggle against it. We are trying too hard, the Universe, in all its abundance, does not need us to try, it needs us to let go – to flow and allow. It is only when we are in this place of flow – we fully understand the concept of being peaceful, serene, in the zone and simply content. There is no struggle – it simple IS and it’s perfect for what it is. We can see with clarity, feel with emotion and speak with trust.

Last month I struggled as I was delayed in creating my newsletter – to me, this is a commitment that I have created for myself and you – to share perspectives, messages and insights that come through. And after several days of feeling like I was abandoning my spiritual work, I decided this is not working for me – I am feeling bad…I decided that it would be better for me to allow myself the freedom to say “its okay” and flow once more than to create when the creative energy is not flowing.

I know in part much was due to Mercury Retrograde, but I had to say this is okay for me – I found this past retrograde cycle to have a huge impact on my energy and ability to communicate – I also decided to take those 3 weeks off from writing, even though I had committed myself to a deadline of completion. But again, following the flow made more sense than to try and complete a book, write a newsletter or other projects and events I had intended to do, when the energy to support that wasn’t available to me – in the way I felt it should be.

Additionally, I find that during these periods when I am trying to control the outcome, dictate how I wish things to be or occur, I often end up missing many things in the process…don’t we all? Going with the flow is a learning process for all of us – learning to trust that all will be okay – learning to let go and allow our intentions, creations and expectations to unfold in the magical way they are intended to. Life is a journey – its meant to be felt, explored and enjoyed – we don’t see this when we are going upstream, our eyes are half shut, trying to keep the water from blurring our vision and our arms are tired from the intensity of the water pressure and by the time we get the top, and eventually we usually get to the top – we don’t really remember the journey – except that is was hard. Yet, when we stop, feel the current beneath our weight, float with it, it carries us, we are brought to our same destination, only via a different route – but one that we could be see coming, and fully embrace with open arms that aren’t sore from paddling upstream but are relaxed and ready.

If you are finding yourself in the process of a struggle – no matter how big or small – ask for Divine Guidance to assist you in letting go. Work with the amazing energy that is available to you. Release the fears, the worries, the anxieties of what will happen, when it will happen and all the in-betweens. Open your eyes and see what is around you – if you see or feel chaos, then you are going upstream – if you feel and see serenity – then you are flowing – each way will get to you the same outcome – eventually, go the easy route ~ go with the flow!!

Wishing you peace on your beautiful and magical journey ~
