“Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward whatever way they like.” ~Lao Tzu
In today's episode, we're talking about living in the flow. Accepting each moment exactly as it is, is living in the flow.
Fear causes resistance to what is. We see in the world what we carry in our hearts. The world reflects what we expect to see.
What is your premise? Love or fear? From love we can flow with life, however, it shows up. But if we’re locked in the prison of fear, defense becomes our modus operandi. And It hurts. It hurts to always be on the defensive. What if we start with a neutral perspective? Life is innocent. What happens? Life is innocent, we give it all the meaning it has for us. We can elect to love no matter what. It might not be easy. In fact, it might feel impossible at times.
But let me ask you this. Is there anyone or anything in your life you love and will love no matter what? A child, a pet, beautiful sunsets, the ocean, sunshine, the smile from a stranger on a crowded bus… Unconditional love is our primary set point. When nothing we believe is getting in the way, we love… it feels whole, and compete just loving for the joy of it. This is how flow feels. Loving for the joy of it. It feels yummy.
Love is our natural set-point. By accepting the moment just as it is, we can breathe through resistance, forgive our judgments - the beliefs we projected out and seen on someone else. Settle into the love within and pay it forward. It feels icky to judge. It feels yummy to forgive and set love free. And even yummier to pay Love forward, no matter what.
