Living in the Flow

This morning I had a dream that I was saying goodbye to some people I apparently really loved. I was crying as I hugged them, holding them close to me and not wanting to let them go. The faces in my dream were not familiar to me but there was a deep sadness that I had to leave them and then drive a long distance to get home.

Usually when I have dreams of crying, something in my life comes up that makes me cry just as I did in my dream. With that in mind, I choose to bless the activities in my life as well as my subconscious mind for working on whatever needed working on. I just bless it all and know that the sadness in my dream is about change. I bless the changes in my life and know that they are assisting in my evolvement as a spiritual human being.

Can we ever hold on to life as we know it? Not in my experience. We have to let go and allow our lives to move forward with grace and ease. I honor and love every aspect of myself and allow that which no longer serves me to be released into its’ highest good so that I can continue on my way to my highest good.

Changes in life can bring tears and longing to have life always stay the way it was, but changes are actually the effects of the flow of our thoughts and of life. Just as water flows around the rocks and tree roots making changes with its constant flow, so does the constant flow of our thoughts and ideas bring changes to our lives.

Our thoughts change and ideas come and go flowing into our awareness and then moving on. The thoughts that we hold on to and keep as our own Truth cause of the experiences we will have.

Today I choose to live in the flow and know that the changes I experience are those that move me forward in my human evolvement. Some of those changes might be messy or incredibly sad, or some will be extremely joyful. Some changes may be a mixture of all those things. What I know for sure is that holding on to the old will take me out of the flow of life and I’ll be stuck in some old thought or experience while I cling to all those thoughts (and things!) that no longer serve me.

When I relax, let go and live in the flow, my life expands and I grow into the peaceful beauty of life that was already mine in the first place.

Overwhelm or Divine Discontent?

Overwhelm. What does that mean? It feels like I am overpowered by the things I have to do, while wanting to relax or do other, more fun things. Overwhelm, very often, comes along around the work I do, but I’ve noticed lately that it can also engulf me at home.

Sometimes at home, I actually see all that needs to be done and I become stuck in the overwhelm, doing nothing rather than taking action. Like the garage, for instance. There are so many boxes of things I need to go through, sorting them into categories such as Give Away, Throw Away, Store, Sell, or whatever other category I can think of. Sigh. It seems like such a daunting task, but what if I just did 15 minutes of Garage Time every day? Eventually it would be done and there would be space to park both cars! What a concept!

Perhaps the overwhelm has to do with my current weight and how I’ve been feeling. I’m concerned that my energy level is low, my weight has crept up again, and I’m not sure where to begin. See a Naturopath? Do a Juice Fast? Begin walking again? This is a perfect example of being stuck in overwhelm. So far I haven’t done any of these things.

The blessing here is that I am seeing patterns that have come up for healing. Perhaps the overwhelm isn’t in all the aforementioned details, but rather a message of Divine Discontent – that something needs to change in my thinking so that I can change these patterns and live in peace and contentment. I like that.

I think I’ll go take a 15 minute walk, just to get started.
