Lately I have had many occasions to think
about "going with the flow". Maybe it was the flood! At
any rate, my observation is that too often this phrase is
used when we are trying valiantly to not react to
stressful things in our lives and to adopt a placid
demeanor!
Unfortunately the effect this has on our energy is to
stop it and stuff a neat package of nasty biochemistry
down inside that closet marked UNPROCESSED
MATERIAL: KEEP OUT. This of course does not serve
us well in the long run.
So what does it mean to "go with or be in the flow"?
We are energy Beings. Every aspect of our nature---- our thoughts, feelings, even our physical makeup is comprised of energy. FLOW is word that is used to describe the condition and the movement of our energies. The subjective experience of FLOW is one characterized by feelings of ease, peace/ balance and at the top of the charts---BLISS. I believe that Flow also allows us to experience inner strength, clear headedness and a deep knowing or trust that we can rise to the challenges of our lives as needed without too much undue turmoil. Objectively the Flow state occurs when the
energies of our bodies, minds and spirits are
balanced, in abundant supply and moving freely
throughout our entire being. Achieving this state and
being able to maintain it with any kind of regularity or
stability requires a commitment to ourselves and the
practices that support it .
What gets in the way of our natural state of
flow?/b>br>
Common and easily understood obstacles are the
physical ones. We all know that we need the right
kinds of food, rest, exercise and air to breathe.
Beyond that the greatest detriment to the proper
energy flow and alignment that produces good
feelings is the functioning of our minds and the
management of our emotions.
Being in charge of our mind is a life long challenge that requires commitment and the tools to do the job! It does not need to be an arduous or daunting task though if you become educated and adopt a light attitude with both the learning and doing. As for our emotions, we need the means to allow our
emotions to have their voice, learn from them, and
have techniques that let feelings be released from our
systems rather than be stuck in repeating loops.
When we can be both fully human (E.G. accepting our imperfections even as we seek to grow) and have a growing edge that includes increasing self- knowledge, grace and skill, life becomes more manageable, easy and happy! CREATING FLOW
There are many ways to approach the mastery of our mental and emotional selves. Much has been written about the various methods that address the management, transformation, and integration of our psychological selves. What I would like to suggest here are two simple easy
to use methods for you to try to create more flow in
your bodymind and life.
The first is to begin to ask yourself on a regular basis throughout your day if THIS builds or depletes your energy. THIS can be a mental process, an emotional pattern or a choice about a person, place or thing. Asking this question helps to increase your self awareness in regard to the choices you are making and thus helps to empower you to act more often on your own behalf rather than unconsciously giving your energy away. The other technique is to regularly give yourself some
time to relax and imagine that you are entering a river
that appears still as you are simply viewing it .
However, once you enter the river and let yourself float
with it, it will become clear that there is a flow, a
direction that the river is moving in.
Allow yourself to just flow with the river and experience the ease and peace that develop as you let go into the rhythm of the water. Stay as long as you like with this experience. Over time you will find that this pleasant exercise is installing a felt sense of flow deep within your core. Once you become accustomed to it you can tap back into i during the day as needed or wanted. There is so much angst in the world. It is up to each of
us to create a dynamic inner space of harmony from
which to live if we are to rise above it.
There really is a stream of energy, of well being,
peace and love available to you. Part of your power is
the ability to choose to clear yourself of the
impediments that prevent access to that stream. The
gift for your efforts will be the beauty and grace you
come to know within yourself and the quiet joy you
then can create in your life. |
