Friend: What does going with the flow mean? Should we leave everything to destiny, do nothing and just drift along?
Going with the flow is a metaphor that applies to navigating a river. When we go with the flow, we follow the current of the river, rather than swim against it.
People who go with the flow are not lazy or passive, but have big awareness, creativity, presence, ability to flexibly blend one’s own energy, with constant movement and change.
Going with the flow is consciously letting go of our ego, pride, power games and old mindsets. We are honestly open, receptive to our intuitive self. Ready and willing to join the larger play with cosmic energies, all around us. We fully trust and let go of self-inflicted conflict, walls of resistance.
Going with the flow doesn’t mean we don’t know where we’re going. It means we are curious to explore unique ideas, perspectives and ideologies, as multiple ways to get to our dreams, desires, goals.
We are open to changing our course or even destination, clinging more to the essence of our aspirations, rather than rigid or unsuccessful methods. We accept modifying our plans, is part of a larger purpose. It’s belief, faith and surrender to greater powers and energies, unfolding in the universe. It’s giving up control, let the universe take the lead, bring clarity for our highest good.
Denial causes us to close off in fear with plans that aren’t working, making us unhappy or unfulfilled, forcing us to stick to opinions or routes that are either obstructed or are no growth, dead ends. We hope our destiny has a bigger plan, nudging us to listen, follow unflinchingly.
Take a deep breath today and jump into the flow, of your intuitive currents…
