Going with the flow
June 1st, 2010 by info
We often consider ourselves to be flowing along in life, doing our own personal thing separate from another, but have you considered how much of your life’s actions ripple the universe?
Imagine throwing an apple from your car window while cruising a forest road. The apple then becomes food for a wandering deer, the deer becomes a target for a motorist who swerves and misses the animal, but hits a tree instead, all because of an apple.
You, also being a part of the universe, are affected by your own thoughts and actions, more so at the subconscious level. What I mean by this is that larger conscious efforts are obvious, from where we choose to live, what job we work, where we get groceries, how many children we raise, etc. What isn’t so obvious are our subconscious grumblings, almost like hunger pangs that show up to remind us of a sense of imbalance that exists within us.
When we have imbalances we lose energy to the area that is off balanced. This is also true as a universal whole. What is in one is in the whole. This is a well -practiced Tao belief and is quite true when we take the time to observe imbalances within our environment, families, cultural beliefs, and establishing priorities of what really matters.
Flow becomes stuck, thinking becomes adrift, and our behaviors lose focus and momentum. Flow can be re-established by aligning beliefs with values. We become blocked by harboring beliefs, emotions, ideas that are in conflict with who we really are, and act in opposition to our highest good. For example, if you truly care about animal welfare then your behavior, or action must reflect the devotion you give to thinking about animal welfare. An action can be through volunteering at a shelter, rescuing an animal companion, donating dollars to a cause, practicing sending Reiki to a suffering animal, etc. As you become more congruent flow will return.
We often don’t realize how our energy affects the world we live in. When we have a bad day, for instance, how many people do you encounter that you affect that day? Think about being around a person who is acting arrogant, superior, or in a manner that causes you to shrink from her or him? Now, imagine the feeling of flow, being balanced, focusing with the intent that you are changing your world to the highest wisdom available to you.
Reiki is another powerful way to establish and align flow. Reiki reduces imbalances, eliminate toxic energy and realign chakras so that a flowing stream of energy travels with wisdom, inner strength and grace toward the goals you are manifesting.
