Flow Is Who You Are

Life is naturally flowing through us, as us … always. We are like drops in a river, flowing with and as the river and all of its majesty. We are each a unique expression of the OneBeing, filled with and expressing life.

There are books written about how to get into the flow state. The idea being that it is a condition or a temporary way of being and feeling. Yet it isn’t a state, i.e., it isn’t a temporary condition. It can seem that way due to how we relate to life.

Flow is who we naturally are.

We don’t experience it because we have been conditioned to believe otherwise.

And we experientially shut down the flow when we resist what is happening, doubt, worry, are fearful, fret, or consume ourselves with trying to control what is happening.

We can tell we are doing so if we feel contraction, or tightness in our body. It is like putting concrete into a hose. The flow can’t “get through.”

When we allow any of these emotions to receive the focus of our attention, we are clogging the “pipeline” of ideas, possibilities, and the experience of the peace, happiness, love and freedom we naturally are.

We aren’t available to

·????? receive ideas,

·????? know creative “solutions,”

·????? experience the nudges of the direction our life in its full expression wants to go in if we would just let it, or

·????? to be the selfless leader we want to be.

You might notice I wrote that when we allow those emotions to get the focus of our attention, we clog the flow. We aren’t trying to rid ourselves of the emotions; they might remain. We realize the flow that we naturally are when we don’t maintain our focus on them and the corresponding thinking. We relax our focus, allow emotions and the thoughts to be present, but pay them no mind. They are part of the flow. We let them flow. Like leaves on the river.

When we don’t pay attention to them, the rest of life and its magnificent wisdom and intelligence are available.?

We feel open, expansive. We open to the fullness and freeness of expression to us through us and out into the world.

Ideas are ready to flow to us if we just open to them. But we're often focused on our habitual thinking and our judgments about circumstances and other people as well as the thinking about ourselves that contains judgments about ourselves and our limitations. Therefore, possibilities available to us aren’t noticed.

We might think we will notice brilliant possibilities.

However, in “Psychology and Neuroscience Blow Up the Myth of Effective Multitasking,” Scott Mautz writes, “Earl Miller, a professor of?neuroscience?at MIT, says we simply can't focus on more than one thing at a time.” 1 ?(Citation is in the comments below.)

To live as the flow that you are, express the life force that you are fully in the world and receive the Universal Intelligence always available, you will want to:

1.???? Remember who you essentially are, Consciousness, Awareness or OneBeing.

2.???? Allow your attention to relax the focus on thoughts and emotions. (If you find this challenging to begin with, you can say “Relax, Open, Allow, Receive” to yourself. Technically, we don’t need to DO anything to be relaxed, open, allowing and receptive. That is the flow that we naturally are. But as a concession to someone new to this understanding, it is a way to begin.)

3.???? Continue to relax your attention so that you aren’t focusing on your thoughts and emotions.

4.???? That’s it. You will know what to do or not do next. Life is living you if you just let it. (In fact, it’s living you and me whether we believe it or not!)

If you would like support to lead your life and/or organization fully expressing the life force that you are, there are two ways to proceed:

1.???? You can join us for the next complimentary Wisdomary Leading Workshop where we explore how to align and stay aligned with Universal forces of love, abundance, flow, peace and freedom. See comments below for details.

2.???? Message me or email me at [email protected] to explore working one-on-one or how to bring this way of leading to your organization.
