How to FLOW

I am often asked what it means to 'Go with the flow?'
Going with the Flow means being flexible and adapting quickly and easily to each situation as it presents itself.
It means resisting nothing, but accepting whatever comes, observing the options that are available, and responding in the best, most positive way you can.

Sometimes we get stuck on something - a thought, an event or an experience; we need to have things exactly our way, or the way we think they "should" be. This is not going with the flow of life - it is resisting life and will inevitably cause pain and suffering, also called unhappiness and misery.

To go with the flow, observe what is happening in your life and trust that "what is" is happening to serve you in some way. Fully embrace what happens.

Only when you go against the flow is when you experience resistance and you are fighting the Universal plan. The Universal energy is so much greater than you and always exists in harmony; it can see your life from a bird's eye view. So learn to trust it and even when it seems that things are going wrong, believe that they are not.

Everything is good for you when you open yourself to growing from it.
Remember that we go against the Universe, or the timing of the Universe, it creates struggle every time.

I invite you to go with the flow.
