Release resistance & Go with the flow ~~~

Published: Jan. 23, 2019, 6:15 p.m.

There is a powerful, passionate, excited, high energy being within, banging at the walls, ready to express itself. Ready to fulfill a dharma, a purpose, a mission. This is the higher self, or the authentic self, the spirit or soul. Whatever you call it, this is who you really are. This is what we have all forgotten due to the human experience.

There is also, in my experience, an energy of absolute supportiveness, love, well-being, and light constantly flowing through you. Only we are in resistance, either physically, mentally or emotionally to this flow. Briefly, I will mention how I am currently releasing my resistance, and what his flow state is like for me.

Going with the flow for me is living my purpose, living the most exciting life, effortlessly. For me, I find excitement in learning, in teaching, in creating art or music, in traveling, and an appreciation for beauty everywhere. When I release all the things I do that's holding me back from this, it becomes as natural as breathing. I speak on camera and the words simply flow. I write like this and the typing just happens. Next thing you know I have a song, or a piece of art, or a video, or a post. It is life not only on my terms, but an unfolding far greater than I could have even asked for. 

1 - Meditate each morning.

This allows me to quickly detach from identifying with my ego and living from a state of presence. It silences the mind and leaves room for your authentic self to express. Without identification, the ego fades into nothingness. By ego, I mean the constant stream of thoughts and desires that hold you back from finding true happiness and fulfillment.

2 - Do not try.

I allow every action I take to unfold effortlessly. If I do not feel like exercising, I know that a time will come when nothing can keep me from exercising. In other words, I am present enough to know that deep down, exercising is something that I will do. But if not done at the right moment, I might not be as effective. Like I only write music when I am inspired to do so. Inspiration is another word for this flow. So do what inspires you at this moment. it might just be having tea and reading a book, or going for a walk. If you've done step one, then you will be able to notice whether or not the action you are about to take stems from ego or authentic self. 


The spiritual path, and all personal development for that matter, is a process. Do not put any unnecessary pressure on yourself to figure things out right away. This life is about the journey, not the destination. Would you listen to a song for the note? Would you watch a movie to only see the climax? Would you eat all the food you will ever eat right now? Let the process unfold. Trust that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to do.


Hope this helps in some way as these things have changed my life. If you have any other suggestions or stories. I would love to hear them. Thanks everyone!
