The Flow, yo

You know you are in the flow when everything falls into place as it should, perfectly and spontaneously.
It is effortless and easy, you are guided without having to think about what “it” is,
it just is.
Without even planning the first step,
everything occurs around it.
There is an acceptance that what is occurring is meant to be.
You know, because you just know,
when you know, you are in the flow.

When these little bursts of knowing take place in the fabric of our reality, there can be signs guiding you to your path more easily.

If we as humans use only a portion of our brain, I believe there must be a pattern that we can’t yet comprehend within these “flows”. Our senses are constantly taking in much more than we are able to understand.

A leaf, can only ever be a leaf, in the leaf is the pattern of its blueprint. Whether it comes to the full potential of that blueprint is up to the tree, ground, sun and water surrounding it.

So it is for a human, we can only ever be a human in this form and lifetime. Within a human, there is a pattern a life can ultimately take. It is up to the conditions surrounding one to nurture into that potential.

Once one starts opening up to this higher potential, life will start to come more into the pattern or flow. Once in the flow, synchronicities become more apparent.

Synchronicity

A Synchronicity happens when you think about, hear or experience something, and that something is presented yet again. Sometimes shockingly.
For instance: you thought an exact phrase, then you hear a song stating that phrase verbatim, then a friend talks about that song.

Coincidence?

Psychologist Carl Jung’s theory states “Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events, that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner” (1)

“Synchronistic events reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework that encompasses, but is larger than, any of the systems that display the synchronicity. The suggestion of a larger framework is essential to satisfy the definition of synchronicity as originally developed by Carl Gustav Jung.” (2)

I view synchronicities as the signs, pointing the way within the flow.

How To Get Into The Flow

Gratitude is one of the most important aspects for allowing you to open up to your potential, especially when life seems not so fruitful.
Start listening to Yourself, you will understand the flow of your life more. Gaining more of a comprehension of your inner knowing.

Perhaps listening to yourself is not so easy, because what yourself says goes against what others tell you to do/be?

That is alright, ultimately, listening to yourself will guide you to your truth. You know all the answers to your life’s questions. Even if it goes against the grain.

So What?

The grain will form around you.

Go with ease, free form within the flow, the path of least resistance is the easiest place to be in. Once in you will be guided to where you need to be and what to do. Planning, order and control become obsolete, all you need to do is trust. Trusting will allow you to float on down the river of the flow.

I will elaborate more on ways to finding your truth, gratitude and being in the zone in another post, for now, let this be known ; )

Signs and Synchronicities

I am en route right now, in the midwest, the heart of America and whatever stops may present themselves along the way. Headed to Vail, Colorado for a few weeks, to get my bearings and jet to where we are guided to from there.

Fun, lightness, adventure and communication is what is building and it almost feels too easy, but after all, it’s a dream manifestation.
Finally.
We have left everything behind, sorted this adventure out in under 5 days and we are off.
Everything has lined up in an almost magical way, abundance has come to us for this journey and I know will continue to be with us.

This, is undeniably what feels right.
As much resistance as I want to place on this experience, I have to give in and trust that all will work out, as it always does.

Trusting has not always been the easiest thing for me to do.

let go, let go.

I have had my signs, synchronicities that are too uncanny not to trust in.
Reminding me of one of my favorite books, that I first read when I was 13. The Celestine Prophecy.

 

First stop
I knew that I had to go to this candle store in downtown Detroit, and once I arrived there, the woman who ran the store said that someone had come in earlier with a message, a prayer. She felt it was meant to give it to me. She told me that I was the only person she could trust to get it out to the world, and that the woman who came in said it was important and knew I would come in for it. That she wanted for it to be published on the internet.
I received it with gratitude and a bit of bewilderment, the fact that she entrusted me with something of the sorts.
I am not religious by any means, rather taking in the tenets of what I feel is best for me within all religions, doctrines, philosophies and ways of life.
I am about discerning truth for self.
As I was walking out another woman handed me a sheet with a seperate prayer on it.

prayers repeatedly showing up on this journey.

I am taking them as a good sign.
And that’s my truth

they speak to me of

REVERENCE for the forces that are not in our control.

We had been questioning where to go from the states. I knew that I desired to volunteer, be in the jungle, ocean and sun and also learn a valuable lesson or two. I kept having visions of Costa Rica and/or Peru, and researching avenues and organizations in both places.

Our next stop was to get coffee.
While cashing out I looked down, in front of my eyes, loudly and colorful was a sign that said:

COSTA RICA

Marketing a new coffee, with a picture of the jungle and beaches.
Not really taking this too seriously I went into the bathroom to powder my nose. While in there I was smiling to myself, laughing for what already seemed like an auspicious beginning.
In gratitude.
Shockingly,
the lights flashed off, once ,
then again
and again.

alright.
Got it.
A sign where to go, a place I was already having visions of.

We then stopped at a gas station, and pulled up to the pump to another sign.
again staring us in the face

PERU
with coffee and beans surrounding it.

This is becoming a treasure hunt, and the treasure is in each of these magical moments. Prompting us on, giving us clues and ideas of where to head and what to do.

Peru,
I had already been wanting to visit your luscious lands, I will keep you in mind along these adventures. Coffee and Central/South America seem to be a running theme here and yet, even if these signs don’t work out, something just as amazing will.

With adventuring, I don’t know every destination, but will understand the signs when needed.

Trust

The intentions are to explore, help, learn and grow, while also bringing myself and gifts to wherever it is I land.

cheers to life, and being spontaneous.

On a side note…….

Detroit,

I will be back from journeying to build the healing/arts/garden sanctuary I have been envisioning, bringing what I learn to you.
